  1. Here's entire thread about travelling on conditional GC + extension letter: I've had several trips on it too while I-751 was pending. It's nothing to write home about, other than you need to show up to airport nice and early and prepare to wait for airline staff / immigration to validate everything. Occasionally you may get some airline staff not familiar with it, for that you can carry printout of carrier guide.
  2. I don't know the whole story, but so far it looks like it's DIY case if you can find records related to J1.
  3. Contact sponsor organization who arranged J1. They may have records. File FOIA request to get all immigration info on file. It's your burden to prove you're admissable. No info = stuck in limbo.
  4. What did he file? I-130? That's in the past now. Nothing to be changed there.
  5. Nothing to remove your ex husband from when it comes to immigration if removal of conditions is not filed. You will file I-751 with Divorce Waiver. You can do it any time if you have divorce decree already.
  6. Thank you for clarifying. If adult unmarried child is sponsored, he cannot wait in the US (making sure @Keesh understands this)
  7. Thank you for clarification. Yes, it's possible. It's best to address any issues first. You see, any prior denial will complicate your future I-130 case. USCIS will naturally spend more time scrutinizing everything / hesitating to approve whenever you have a mark on your immigration file. So the best course of action is to address any issues and then file I-130. There's no point spending money and waiting to get a denial. If it would get miraculously approved without naturalization certifcate flagged again, this same issue may arise when immigrant will file for I-751 or N-400 or even I-90 to replace GC. You'd do a disservice to the immigrant by keeping everything as is and not fixing the issue. This is how legendary messy cases are created that news buzz about. Do what's in your control to prevent it - by correcting your naturalization certificate.
  8. My understanding is most of filers are subjects thus the answer should be "yes". Are parents on TPS? Then they may be exempted and the answer may be "no". https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-8-part-g-chapter-3
  9. How old is your son? Is he married? If he's an unmarried minor under 21, you can sponsor them. Otherwise, only when you become a citizen yourself and it will be a long wait during which the adult child cannot stay in the US unless has some other status.
  10. What do you mean by initial petition / application? If you mean initial I-130 and I-485 that got you conditional green card, they're decided. You got immigration benefit. You cannot erase your ex-spouse sponsors name from I-130. Did you file I-751, Petition to Remove conditions yet? Was this a joint petition you filed with ex-spouse? If yes, then yes, you need to amend petition to Divorce Waiver petition.
  11. Yes, she should either pay expenses for legal fees and / or head back to country of prior residence. What's holding her in the US after only 2 months of marriage? Does she have other family here? Does she have any legal path to stay in the US with marriage collapsing? US citizen has all the power over immigrant when AOS is pending.
  12. 4-6 weeks in the mail. Documents tab will hopefully update soon.
  13. Yes, attach copy of corrected birth certificate. This is the right thing to do regardless. If you submitted something incorrect, it needs to be corrected regardless whether anybody saw the old doc or not.
  14. You have the same tax obligations on GC as US citizen. Plus, if you're on GC for 7+ years, you also have to pay the same "exit tax" (sorry don't remember correct term) as US citizen resouncing citizenship if you decide to give up GC. Plus, if you think, there's not many places that would pay more than they pay in the US, maybe with few exceptions and due to niche job etc.
  15. Yes, pretty much. If USCIS does not accept the assets and there is no qualifying joint sponsor then there is no GC.
  16. USCIS may never give your future spouse any sort of immigration visa if they're not happy about your naturalization / documentation.
  17. You need to meet after marriage takes place. Prior visits do not count for CR1 based on online marriage.
  18. Utah online marriage may not fix issues discussed in this thread: Additionally, the marriage needs to be consumated. E.g. you should either visit spouse in their home country or meet in third country before they can get immigrant visa.
  19. I would not attempt DIY. Please talk to an experienced lawyer. The question is, whether naturalization is void due to incorrect details on the certificate? Probably not but you never know.
