How old were you on the "Resident since" date on your GC @killadocg23? That's what really matters. Before that your were a studend (non-immigrant) and also was going through AOS, which does not make you an immigrant at that point until you get GC approved.

Not just transit, even enter. I confirm it works, as I visited Canada without visa or eTA.

Generally true. Few points: * extension letter accompanied by GC ** GC grants visa free access to certain countries despite nationality. Example: Canada, Mexico

I'm not 100% sure this is true for somebody who is a US citizen. There's limits on "gifts" above which US citizen fiance would have to pay taxes on.

If you were married for few years, there's very very tiny chance of annulment. It's hard to pull off, especially if your spouse is not a big public figure with expensive lawyers. Yes, you can end up in removal proceedings, that's right. This is why you need to divorce asap and file I-751 on your own when eligible (90 days window opens or divorce finalized, whichever earlier).

Not the smartest thing to do. Though understandable, it's also not the smartest thing by USC. You can file a police report about your IDs. Annulment is unlikely. If USC says it was fraud, then they participated in it by filing and signing AOS forms. Most likely it's going to be a divorce. You have just one viable option: divorce and remove conditions on your own, with help of a lawyer perhaps. Your immigration journey just became more challenging. As much as I sympathize with USC (nobody deserves to be cheated upon), they don't have the right to your IDs and they don't get to decide whether you stay in the US or not. Notice me leaving out the money part. AFAIK the money in joint account is joint and can be spent by any of you without any penalty. I guess it's also time to start contributing money into your own account and move out.

What about EAD card?

I'm glad you made it back in the end. The moment airline staff was having issues, you should have called their manager. Also it helps to show them Carrier Information Guide https://www.cbp.gov/document/guides/carrier-information-guide I had PDF printed in case if I had to show to airline staff, but thankfully never had issues travelling on expired GC and extension letter. One time an airline agent was puzzled, but called her manager who instantly helped.

Normal. It happened to me at AOS stage. Biometrics were taken before the interview despite I submitted them earlier in the process. I haven't filed gor N-400 but I'd imagine it would be the same. Of course. ID documents such as passport, EAD, re-entry permit, Green Card is a US government property, not your property. If government asks you to return them, you should. It may not be taken at oath, but you should at least bring them.

What's holding him in Texas? You seem to be renting anyways. I'd say move for him wouldn't make sense if you were away for 3-6 months. But for 2 years? You'd have to document your efforts to see each other and have a clear plan of what happens after 2 years for ROC to be approved.

K3 has been dead for 5+ years now.

AR-11 online. You're LPR at that point.

What ties would she be maintaing to the US? Other than filing I-131?

If you're resident since The earliest you can apply (3 year rule, 90-days early) for N-400 is 12/30/2023. I'd apply the first week of January 2024 to be safe. If you file too early, it will get denied.

You can reply in cover letter, but you must file AR-11 and I-865 anyways. It's required.

Few years. Some get it in 3-6 months, but that's a minority. 2-6 weeks after filing. You remain LPR, just don't have a proof of status. You cannot easily travel outside the US as boarding a plane becomes an issue. At that point, you need to report non delivery of notice here - https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDNForm.do; jsessionid=08E5FD1FD9BC*****************6F3?sroPageType=ndn&entryPoint=init You may also contact USCIS by phone asking for InfoPass. This would allow you to get an ADIT stamp in passport for 1 year as proof of status. It's valid for international travel and other things.

Were forms AR-11 and I-865 filed yet?

Oh, I see how the same name can be confusing for both you and USCIS... Send for both and write a cover letter explaining who is who and who's removing conditions etc.

Is this for Adjustment of Status (I-130 & I-485) or Removal of Conditions (I-751) ? I did not understand anything from your message. Are you saying RFIE is for a person with a different name?

You likely won't get interview letter within a month of filing. It will take 3-12 months depending on field office. You can take short trips while N-400 is pending, it's totally fine.

Not just passport, but also birth certificate. Not sure why OP is inventing a middle name...

Biggest mistake is not filing I-765 and I-131 with I-485 because they're free when filed tohether. Processing times would have also indicated that most of people don't receive GC within a few months, it's more of an exception... Writing this for future readers, so they don't forget to file all forms.

Do you have all vaccinations required?

They'll likely look up your previous number. You may want to contact your old employers and banks if you dealt with any of those 20 years ago. Also, if any immigration paperwork involved SSN in the past, you can file FOIA to get everything you ever filed with USCIS.
