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.

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.

No comment here...

Also 1 x approval and 1 x RFE in 21500-21999 WAC range yesterday.

Two cases approved in WAC 21000-21499 range and 1 RFE sent yesterday!

Congratulations!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 But right now it's not clear his status was revoked.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.

How long have you been separated for? This may be a problem in itself, in addition to him being out of the US for so long.

Even with denied I-751 your husband is still considered a LPR until he signs I-407 or immigration judge rules out he abandoned the status. So your husband been out of the US for 3 years? I think he probably abandoned his permanent residency already. But if you apply for a immigrant visa, my understanding is, it will be denied. I wonder if I-131A is still applicable in this case, maybe more experienced forum members can explain.

Do not apply for neutralization (scary to think what it might be!), rather for naturalization. Nothing special, but it helps including copy of I-751 receipt and cover letter explaining you still have ROC pending.

Absolutely agree about the copies. AFAIK sending the old card happens once USCIS requests it, not when I-90 is filed?

@Gaps0214 I'm skeptical about this success story from a user who joined 3 hours ago to post just one message which is their unrealistic approval. Especially in Seattle. Seems like trolling, but maybe it just me. Good for them if that's true. Link:

Can you please give a link to the post? Did they explicitly say there was no I-751 interview on the same day as N-400 or I-751 hasn't been approved on the same day? If N-400 was somehow mistakenly approved without I-751 approval, it's not legal. There's a written procedure and IO could have broken it (I doubt it).

Are you planning naturalizing? You can definitely change your last name to your maiden name then for sure.

Include transcripts for your returns for all years you've been married. Hopefully you guys filed together e.g Married Filed Jointly.

@Ani_B do you guys have joint lease? ID / DL cards showing the same address? If phone account transactions only show your name and not his name, you may want to show statements from his account highlighting transactions. Are you on a "family plan" of any sort? Also, look into joint Amazon Prime membership etc. Do you have trip together? Flight tickets etc? You don't have to earn money to have a joint account. Should have opened one with your spouse for your joint expenses such as mobile plan etc.

1. Can you ask university to provide a full receipt for that payment? Either in form of PDF or hard copy. 2. Do you have monthly bills? Are both names shown on them? If not, I wouldn't bother including them. 3. No, do not send the original cards. Scan them and place 2-3 scans per page.

Filing N-400 to speed up I-751 does not always work, sometimes it does the opposite or has no effect. Suing USCIS for I-751 decision is an option. Though it looks your case is pending since June 2021. It's pretty normal nowadays for some.service centers.

You mean processing times? Did you select the city where you're going to be naturalizing? Best case scenario you would have similar to the processing times to the field office of that city. More realistic scenario - you will have delays because of your previous divorce and remarrying situation. Add to that 319b and you complicated your case even more. You really should have hired a lawyer for your case, it's not a DIY.

Better to be crucified by folks on the forum than by Immigration Officer during stokes interview! She could come to study, she just cannot be 100% sure she will be marrying and staying in the US. While I see your point, I do not agree with you fully. - AOS and CR1 take about the same time nowadays. - If AOS is from B1/B2 the beneficiary cannot work legally in the US for a while, and fully depends on the US spouse. At least the beneficiary usually can work back in their country while waiting for CR1 visa. - Beneficiary going through AOS usually cannot travel anywhere outside of the US for some time, even for emergency. Beneficiary waiting for CR1 visa can take trips anywhere other than US (and sometimes to US) freely. - AFAIK consular interviews are much shorter than AOS interviews at USCIS local field office. - CR1 applicants do not have to worry about immigrant intent, whereas some AOS applicants go through increased scrutiny and have to prove they did not plan to adjust. Of course, there's many downsides to CR1. But to suggest AOS is walk in the park and doesn't have any downside would be unfair.

Which state are you in? Not sure why COVID is a problem? At least in California there are no issues renewing or changing driver's license. I updated mine in first half of 2021(more than a year ago) just fine.
