    Here is the guide @hamahama Read and ask any questions you may have. And below is where you can download the form and learn about the fees: https://www.uscis.gov/i-751
  2. OldUser
    Yes, there's no way around it.
  3. OldUser
    Yes, probably 1.5 - 2 years.

    No lawyer needed, but only if you read Visa Journey guide carefully and ask many questions on forum if you don't understand something. Hiring a lawyer doesn't hurt but costs money. Ask your US citizen spouse to help you with this task!

    @hamahama forget about I-90. Prepare and file I-751. That's all you need for now.
  6. OldUser
    I think you need to start your own thread with questions you have. Your current state of things doesn't look good, you probably need professional help from a lawyer.

    Sorry to hear about you situation, but what is your comment to do with this thread, which is about travelling on extension letter?
  8. OldUser
    Yes, the stamp itself is good for travel and new employer. For employer though, unrestricted social security card and valid drivers license is way better proof. Then you won't need to worry about your stamp expiring. You wouldn't even have to mention stamp to them.

    N-400 depends on I-751 outcome + it's own requirements, so not sure how it's less stressful.

    Make sure you understand the wait times and the process, plus have your wife on the same page with you before you file anything. Good luck.

    So why are you saying you were married for 10 years? I don't know what to suggest as you're providing conflicting information. If you were married for over 2 years on the date of your first entry to the US on immigrant visa, you will get 10 year green card. If you receive 2 year card, you need to file I-90 asking to replace it. A CBP officer at the border cannot issue green cards, so no questions for him as long as you enter the US.

    You're saying they're classified you as CR1 instead of IR1? Then yes, you need to file I-90 and include cover letter explaining you're married for over 10 years. Include copy of marriage certificate and choose option to indicate it was USCIS mistake. That way you don't pay the fees.

    I don't fully understand your question. Please open a new thread. There's very little automatic in US immigration. If you're outside of the US with immigrant visa in your passport based on marriage to US citizen, you will receive 10 year GC (if married over 2 years when you enter). You just need to pay ELIS fee.

    More approvals in WAC 20XXX range today.

    @Venkat0007 if you want to attach affidavits for I-751 they should be fresh affidavits, not something you already used for AOS. They can be from the same people. No need to send all 15-20. USCIS would be happy with 2-5. Also ensure to include other evidence of bonafide marriage such as: - Joint Leases - Joint bank account statements - Joint assets - Joint tax return transcripts - Copies of IDs or Driver Licenses showing same address - Joint Memberships - Travel reservations with both names - Birth certificates of children with both of your names

    Hi, it hasn't been even a year. People wait for 3-4 years for WAVA and straightforward non-WAVA cases take 1.5-2 years nowadays. Your processing time is pretty normal. There's nothing to hear for many months.

    @David Mpoyi By the looks of it (not a legal advice), the best course of action is withdrawing I-485. Not sure if I-130 can be redirected to go through consular processing or it also needs to be withdrawn. @Mike E and others can suggest the next steps.

    Technically, she abandoned her AOS by leaving before receiving Advance Parole. In the past the trick of mailing AP would have worked, but it may not work nowadays. My intuition tells me she can try come on AP. However, I'd wait for more input from experienced members of the forum. Was she in status when she left? If she overstayed, she may have accrued bar from entering.

    How is one supposed to make food during power cuts? Agreed, modern electric stoves are way more efficient than their gas counterparts, but so unrealiable during weather events...

    It's better to have I-751 approved and N-400 pending, than N-400 interview completed and no decision due to pending I-751. Nobody can tell you with certainty about what's going to happen and when exactly. Every case is different and local field offices have different wait times for N-400 interview. It does look promising, and you're likely weeks away from your interview. Make sure to bring your spouse with you when the time comes. Good luck!

    Put something like "To be determined" or N/A

    1. G-1145 form (free) if you want to get notification when petition is received by USCIS. 2. I wouldn't recomment cashier's check or especially credit card for payment. Cashier's check - because you don't know when it's used by USCIS. Credit card because transaction can get denied. Personal check is the best in my opinion (as long as you keep required $$$$ in checking account). This way you would know when USCIS cashes it. This gives you an idea your case was accepted. Good luck!

    Surely OP should take such flight to use his passport to change planes in Europe then. Saves a lot of effort and fees to get US visa.
  24. OldUser
    NOA1 (first I-797) is both acknowledgement of receipt and extension letter.

    Make sure you don't regret this decision. You never know if he needs to travel urgently in the future. Green cards take up to 2 years nowadays. A lot can happen in the 2 years requiring international travel.
