    @KBCN I filed in November 2021, still pending. I picked 1 picture per month from the start of marriage (end of 2018) to the date I filed. Focused on selecting photos which had our friends and family, gathering for celebrating something or a having a meal. 3 photos per A4 page. Over the course of 3 years meaning it was around 36 photos, meaning 12 pages. Annotated all photos (where, when and who is in the photo). Included at the very end of packet.

    As always referring to I-751 checklist: "Submit copies of as many documents as you can to establish this fact, to demonstrate the circumstances of the relationship from the date of the marriage to the present date;" I know many people submitted only info from the time of becoming conditional LPR and got approved, but I sent it all since this is what instructions tell applicant to do.

    You spoke to tier 1 agent, they're much less knowledgable than members of this forum.

    Then yes the safest earliest is what @Mike E wrote. 179 days before 5 year anniversary of coming back to the US for good. That would fall on December 28, 2023. Of course, this is falls into holiday season, so best to file first week of January 2024. This is only if they don't travel any more outside of the US in 2023. Any extra day of travel will push that date by one day. And trip over 180 days will reset counter to 0 and they have to start countring to 5 years again.

    Please clarify "Arrived" and "Departed". Arrived in the US or foreign destination?

    Ignoring it seems like an option. Your case is similar to the one below, though you're fortunate to have 10 year GC already:

    @Vpanda85 anything happened when you were entering DR? Did they look at your Green Card and extension letter? Did they have any questions? Did you have to pay any fees / get tourist card?

    I vote for giving USCIS what they want: fresh medical exam (full) using the latest form edition.

    Found this: Any person who can legally travel or reside in the United States, Canada and the European Union (including Great Britain) does not need a visa to visit the Dominican Republic for tourist purposes and can enter the Dominican Republic with a Tourist Card and a valid passport. http://www.domrep.org/visa.html

    I'd love to see this information on official DR website to fully trust it. Also here is another person (or is it you?) asking the same yesterday. Maybe you could share the knowledge? https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g147288-i27-k14260262-Indian_passport_with_US_green_card_visa_requirement-Dominican_Republic.html

    Hmmm, I could not find this published anywhere, e.g. visa free travel to Dominican Republic for US LPRs. Your wife probably needs to obtain DR visa in her Armenian passport as well as take her GC and extension letter to re-enter the USA. As for you, US citizen, you can travel visa free for 30 days.

    Agreed, if girldfriend is not in the US right now, this is fraud. In this case @Danny84 it doesn't matter whether she knows or not, of your plans of filing for AOS. The immigration fraud committed by you or her is still fraud. Then yes, it's illegal and very risky. It's not uncommon for IO to carry out stokes interview for suspicious couples, e.g. separate both of you and question during AOS interview. If IO smells fraud, you're in big trouble as well as your girlfriend. If she's back in Mexico, go marry her there. Have a beautiful wedding inviting all of your and her relatives, file CR-1 and have straightforward immigration. Good luck!

    Which country's passport do you hold?
  14. OldUser
    Understandibly frustrating, though your case may be already reviewed and just waiting for supervisor's approval. I bet there are going to be cases undecided for earlier filers at the time your case is going to be approved. In that case, would you want to wait longer for their cases to be decided first? There's a human factor in this process, and it guarantees such fluctuations in approval times. Example: Case A got assigned to Bob, who reviews 20 cases a day, and Case B got assigned to noobie Fred who only does 10 of them and requires supervisor approval for 3 of them.

    Please share the link. Cannot say for certain it's true, but it is likely true because a lot of 3 year rule filers have pending I-751. N-400 in this case depends on approval of I-751. The docs for ROC may need to be send from one USCIS location to the other which takes time. Also this requires IO with special knowedge about how to conduct ROC interview.

    Probably I-551 stamp in your passport that you need to request via InfoPass, unless N-400 will extend your GC for 36 or 48 months.
  21. OldUser
    The answer was already provided by @Chancy If you have your GC you no longer need EAD and AP card(s). GC is good for travel and for proving your eligibility to work.

    CR1 may be faster than Adjustment of Status in the end. How risky depends how geniuine your relationship is, how much evidence of it you have and whether you planned AOS ahead of her coming to the US (e.g. immigrant intent). Remember, you also need to marry her ASAP if you go this route. She cannot adjust earlier than 60 days from her last entry. USCIS would presume she had an immigrant intent. Don't underestimate the costs of adjusting and her inability to work and travel abroad. Good luck!
  23. OldUser
    Adjustment of status is painful in a sense that she would not be able to work for a year or so and would not be able to leave the US for year and a half or two. If you went CR1 visa route, once she enters the US, she's a green card holder with all the rights. Though it's also not a quick process.

    1. Bring your US citizen spouse (if filed jointly) 2. Bring all the supporting evidence of marriage since the beginning and most importantly, recent too. Bank statements, birth certificates for children born in this marriage, deeds, insurance in both names, 401 beneficiary info, photos, plane tickets in both names, copies of IDs with same address etc, utility bills with both names. 3. Bring your green card and extension letter, as well as foreign passport(s) 4. Bring US citizen spouse passport and/or their US birth certificate or certificate of naturalization. 5. Interview invitation letter Good luck!
