  1. Yes, I've seen several similar questions on this forum recently.
  2. If your 10 year card was approved this year in December, then December 2032 is correct expiration date. Ignore the online status or you could call USCIS and double check everything is correct. I think it might be a system glitch.
  3. Canada now allows US LPRs entering the country without eTA. Valid passport + expired GC + I-751 extension letter is all you need to enter Canada. My experience is below. Flight #1 (got cancelled due to weather). Obviously, could not check in online or using machines. Had to see a human. The airline agent took a while checking my GC, extension letter, could not do the math for 24 month extension and was generally confused. Asked her manager help, who sorted it out. Flight #2 (successful one). Ironically, the agent who checked me in and was super knowledgable and quick worked at Pet Check-In desk. Upon arrival in Canada, went through automated system (passport scanned and photo taken). The border control officer neither was interested in seeing my passport nor green card. Just asked for the purpose of my visit. That's it. To be continued...
  4. More good news for WAC filer's in 21xxx range. Quite a lot of approvals this morning already!
  5. Good luck and congratulations! There's 13 stripes on US flag, so you can choose to believe it's a good sign VS Friday 13th
  6. Same as people seeking asylum going back to their countries, e.g. it doesn't help. In WAVA case good evidence would include police reports, licenced mental health therapist, affidavits from witnesses of abuse, docs from specialized shelters showing efforts to protect themselves. If a WAVA seeker lives with abuser and doesn't take any steps to protect themselves from abuse, IO can rightfully doubt the case. At least that's my understanding.
  7. You should have had a serious conversation with your mother before applying for the adjustment of status (green card). You should have explained how long it takes and what it entails. She cannot use green card as a visitor US visa. If she gets LPR status (green card) she should be spending majority of time in the US. Now, you already rang the bell that cannot be unrung. She demonstrated the immigrant intent and that will make it difficult to obtain another B2 even if this case is withdrawn. I believe DS-160 for B2 visa asks a question whether anybody ever filed an immigrant petition for her. From now on, she will have to put Yes as the answer. If she travels now, before AOS is completed, she's risking getting her B2 visa revoked AND inability to re-enter US. Depending when her latest I-94 expired, she may have accrued unlawful presence in the US, which can lead to 3 or 10 year bar (ban to enter the US). Obviously, if she must leave, she can leave, but you would have to visit her back home or in third country instead of her travelling to the US moving forward.
  8. Update: I got a pair of socks. Happy holidays!
  9. Kinda sad nobody picked "pair of socks" or "$50 Chipotle gift card" so far because they're statistically more probable...
  10. If you have a debit card from a US institution, you should try it as the instructions you posted suggest it's accepted. If you don't have a debit or credit card from a US bank, you could theoretically still try charging your foreign VISA / Mastercard credit card. Beware, of course, it might be a pricey experiment. Your foreign bank may charge foreign transaction fees etc. Obviously, if you have a friend / family member who can pay with US issued card, you could ask them. Can always pay back in cash.
  11. I was under impression they're asking for a debit or credit card issued by a US based financial institution. OP can correct me as I haven't seen instructions.
  12. Imagine it's morning of December 25th, 2022. What present you want to discover under your tree?
  13. A generic date calculator can work. Enter expiry date of 2 year green card as Start Date and subtract 90 days. Better 88 days. That's the earliest you should file.
  14. Forget about K-3. In entire 2020 only 2 such visas were issued! Just do CR-1
  15. Yes @Nimisha I believe this is an issue. You're out of status and should probably leave the US as soon as possible to stop accruing unlawful presence. You may get 3 or 10 year bar if you don't leave soon enough.
