  1. USCIS sends it off to NVC, which then deals with embassies. But then maybe NVC may not always be able to send it to field office? I guess that translates to delays / black hole. Good questions.
  2. Are you saying if co-sponsor earned $20k in each of the last 3 years, he will be OK to sponsor? My point was that the co-sponsor's income in the last 3 years should be qualifying. Unless I misunderstood your comment.
  3. Just to make sure, you were married for over 2 years when you entered the US in Feb 2020? E.g. you have 10 year green card? Then yes, no problem with your tax returns for 2020 and 2021 only.
  4. You need a co-sponsor. Somebody who has qualifying income. You would need 3 years of their tax returns showing qualifying income. Plus recent paystubs etc.
  5. I-130 online application often makes USCIS think the petition is for an overseas case. It's much safer to file everything as one packet.
  6. Fantastic news, congratulations and thank you for sharing your experience! You shouldn't be surprised USCIS didn't take your Philippines passport. US government cannot take away foreign passports (only hold temporarily for issuing visa etc). The Philippines passport is a property of Philippines 🙂 Now, you may be obliged to report your acquisition of US citizenship to Philippines, and they may take your passport. But you should learn, I think there is a more or less straightforward procedure you can undergo to reinstate your Philippines citizenship. If you want, you can be a dual citizen and enjoy benefits of both countries. But you would be subject to laws, duties and restrictions imposed by both countries too.
  7. That should help. A sensible officer should understand that was a genuine mistake. However, you need to make sure you never identified yourself as a USC when getting a job etc.
  8. Finita, la commedia... I don't think you can stay in the US unless you have any other valid status. Very unfortunate. Consult with a lawyer of course to see if there's any special provision allowing you to stay.
  9. If that's the case, you may be in a better situation, depending on other factors. That would be very bad news for the OP. Even of they did not do anything like this and were genuinely in love, their case would be scrutinized because of any wrongdoings by USC.
  10. Did the lawyer know what you know now? E.g. USC's previous marriage without divorce docs available? If USC was still married to someone else, there was no any legal marriage between you and her. You did not enter a marriage. And if you were not married, there were no grounds for WAVA and I-485. That's the gist of it. That's a sad and tragic situation you're in...
  11. Talk to a lawyer. This is 100% not a DIY case. Do you have any other status? If not, you might have accrued 10 year bar by now. I don't know if your ex could cooperate and produce any real paperwork regarding his previous marriages and divorces. If not, I don't think you have any chance unfortunately.
  12. This is all messy, my understanding is you may not have any grounds for adjustment, since you were never legally married to USC... But others can correct me.
  13. Were you not present on I-485 interview? (or what do you refer to as previous interview?) Did you not take any part in completing I-130 and I-485 forms? Questions about previous marriages for you and your spouse should have been asked on the forms and during the interview. Sorry, I am a bit confused, trying to understand how you ended up where you are.
  14. My gut feeling is and @mindthegap can correct me... The CBP at pre-clearance have more discretion. They can deny boarding much more easily than CBP who let people in on US soil. They're pretty much deployed to other countries to deter some travelers from entering the US, "shielding" the States from the distance. Disclamer: This is my opinion only.
  15. Also 1 x approval and 1 x RFE in 21500-21999 WAC range yesterday.
  16. Two cases approved in WAC 21000-21499 range and 1 RFE sent yesterday!
  17. Thank you @Chancy Why did you open a new thread @goobies? Good answers were already provided in the other thread by knowledgeable members on the forum. Your husband needs to take an action such as crossing by land instead of you going in circles asking the same question. In that thread @Mike E already said your husband was still LPR, why was it a surprise when I said the same earlier in this thread? Just read the answers in the old thread, they're still relevant.
  18. Yes, he is still technically an LPR. The case is not straightforward, requires wisdom of somebody who witnessed this situation before or been in one personally. It's also best to have a good immigration lawyer doing the next steps to get him back to the US, unless you have an extensive knowledge in this area.
  19. I don't think you're going to receive anything any time soon. I'm not 100% sure, but I think he needs to do something on his end to get his status revoked. Maybe somebody with experience can suggest.
  20. Yeah, I-751 case is probably "dead" now. I don't think conditions can be removed with him being out of the US for 3 years and being separated from wife for 3 years.
  21. Yes, you can start the process again. But right now it's not clear his status was revoked. Denial of I-751 does not terminate status as far as I know. It needs to be documented by I-407 or immigration court paperwork.
