    Same ambiguous language on page 33 as before. It talks about form I-797 but shows picture of I-797C. Come on!

    The guide doesn't mention that in order to use Global Entry card, you need to be a US citizen when entering the US. Meanwhile here it says: "When you use the Global Entry kiosk, you will need to use your passport or U.S. Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) card. The Global Entry and SENTRI cards do not work when entering the United States by air through the Global Entry kiosks. " Does or mean a LPR can scan foreign passport at the kiosk instead of GC? I know many use facial recognition nowadays without need to scan anything at all...

    The people you meet at the US border during immigration. They check your passport and documents before letting you into the country.

    Hi @Caitlin Kennedy here's a whole thread with updates as old as days ago: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/632906-traveling-on-extension-letter/page/75/#comments I personally travelled several times kn GC and extension letter while awaiting I-751 decision. Allow some extra time to check in to the flight when heading back to the US. You will likely need to show GC and original extension letter, as well as passport to check in personnel at the airport as well as CBP.

    My understanding : 1. It's not enough to have reentry permit to enter other countries. They may require visa. 2. If one has reentry permit and GC, some destinations such as Mexico, should in theory allow entry visa free.

    Yes, if you met physical presence and continuous residence and other requirements, the earliest you can file is 11/28/2023. I'd send the packet on 11/29/2023 and have all the forms have that date. This way your 10000% bullet proof. Maybe I'm overthinking this, but I don't want to keep a slightest possibility of it going wrong.
  7. OldUser
    I think so too, but what date do you put on the form? Maybe they'll go by that? Ask him to delay by few days. Why take a risk?
  8. OldUser
    Maybe he knows. There's probably 98% no risk. But what if there's 2% chance of rejection. Is filing few days early worth losing filing fees and having to refile again?
  9. OldUser
    Don't do it. It's not worth the risk. Wait a couple of days after the window for early filing begins. You won't feel much difference between case being approved 3 days earlier or 3 days later.

    There will be consequences for leaving the US now. You can consult with an immigration lawyer, but I'm 99% sure this is the case. There will be a 10 year bar. Let me translate this from vague USCIS language... You need to refile I-485 ASAP. Yes, you're wife will be out of status. But it will be forgiven since she's a spouse of a US citizen. I wouldn't advice your wife to travel outside of the US until she has a GC in hand. Even if she gets AP approved.

    Fun fact: my I-485 took quicker under Trump than I-485s take nowadays under Biden. I'm by no means a Trump supporter. I just think no matter who's in power there's objective reasons why immigration is slowing down. It's simply the amount of people seeking immigration benefit (think asylum seekers, family reunions). And there hasn't been any changes in immigration system to support this demand.

    I don't believe this is an option. Between October 2022 and now there's over a year of your wife overstaying visit visa. She'll likely have a 10 year bar on entering the US if she leaves now.

    I doubt you can use just the reentry permit to enter Mexico. If there is nothing explicitly said about it, then it's not allowed.
  14. OldUser
    Nothing from your end is needed. Just patience. Can probably take a month or so based on wording.

    The Northern Virginia doctor was born in D.C. and given a U.S. birth certificate. At 61, he learned his citizenship was granted by mistake. Source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/11/25/virginia-doctor-passport-citizenship-nightmare

    When you apply for I-751 you get extension letter automatically within 4-6 weeks.
  17. OldUser
    The case will be denied.

    I bet he just retired from Sacramento field office and has no motivation to post on VJ anymore. Jokes aside, I hope he's doing alright 🙏

    Hint: in the middle and in the center are not the same.
  20. OldUser
    What if they were consistent though? 🤔

    Imagine you got a stokes interview asking this question: "Which side of the bed do you sleep on?" What would be your answer?

    I'm sorry for your loss. Usually expedite request wouldn't work in this situation but you can try.
  24. OldUser
    Agreed, the person on the phone may give incorrect information.

    The biometric appointment should only take 10-15 minutes. The interaction is pretty simple. From what I recall, you fill the form on paper asking for your name, date of birth and citizenship. Then you show ID, personnel takes your fingerprints. Something like that. You can try going together, but I'm not sure you're going to be let in.
