    I-130 can only be withdrawn by petitioner. Lay out the facts in front of him you just discussed here showing danger of continuing with this process. Unless he wants to create problems for himself and you, he'd withdraw it. I'd never ever tell embassy or USCIS this as a reason for withdrawing I-130. After of all, to withdraw the care you don't have to provide any reason.

    Seems like lawyers and DIYers abused WoM to the point it became way less effective compared to few years ago.

    That's generally true. If you maintain tied to the US (job, lease or mortgage, banking etc) you may be able to convince USCIS you didn't break continuous residency. But best just not to break it to begin with.
  4. OldUser
    Hopefully USCIS won't reject the entire packet. It's possible...

    Are you out of 90 day early window already?

    Depends on the state rules and how long ago she paid full price for license, which may be due for renewal at some point.
  7. OldUser
    Not for filing under general rule. But have divorce decree available.
  8. OldUser
    Things sadly regressed since then...

    Question 1 is about how you're gonna naturalize, not how you got your GC. Since you're divorced, you have to go through general provision, which is living in the US as LPR for 5 years.
  10. OldUser
    Those few cases are scary as potential denaturalizations possible in future because people didn't meet the requirements at the time of oath. When IO follows all procedures you cannot be naturalized within 90 day window. But you didn't answer the original question...

    This case sounds complicated. What ties to the US did you maintain while working overseas? How long did you stay overseas without entering the US? Were you given NTA by CBP? It looks like you were considered to have abandoned your LPR and admitted as visitor on ESTA. Based on what I'm reading your chances of getting GC renewed are somewhat small.

    Hey @Family tons of useful information there. Out of curiosity, can the following action backfire? Say, somebody applies, gets denied. If they're not a US citizen, by applying did they make a false claim to US citizenship? Can this affect getting GC in the future?

    Congratulations !

    Part 1 Question 1 for you is check box A - general provision. Part 5 Question 1 - Divorced I checked the form, it looks like you don't have to provide spouse information besides bringing certified copy of divorce decree to the interview.
  15. OldUser
    No current spouse => nothing to say about current spouse on the form. But you have to list spouse in prior marriages section.

    They cannot naturalize within this 90 days window, but they can definitely look into your file, process biometrics, do background search etc etc. Sometimes interviews are too scheduled within 90 days window. So your case is not forgotten.
  17. OldUser
    Did you file within 90 day early filing window? If yes, are you out of this window now? Do you have pending I-751?
  18. OldUser
    Return Transcrips is what you need.

    Good tip. Other USCIS correspondence also can be tracked that way, including GC. When USCIS sent me my GC, I found tracking number in Informed Delivery 4-5 days before it got updated in USCIS case status.

    I know it is, but USCIS rejected some I-131 received in late March 2024 asking to pay the fee which wasn't yet in effect. And we're expecting them to honor fee schedule prior to April 2024 in August. It's all simple and straightforward to us, but simple things are like rocket science for USCIS. I'd attach a copy of I-485 receipt with I-131 and a short letter explaining how the fee does now apply for this filing.
  21. OldUser
    You'll have to persuade USCIS it should be processed free. You can try, but there's a high chance USCIS will expect fee for I-131

    Be advised that some officers may get rather annoyed with kids while others happy and excited. I wouldn't bring the kid if you can avoid. Is your I-751 approved? If not, I heard of the following possible scenario... Kid starts crying, IO asks one spouse to wait in the corridor, effectively turning it in stokes interview...

    They don't know a thing about immigration... There is no temporary GC.

    Similar to maxing out available credit on card. While technically possible, bank can decline transaction or it can negatively impact credit score for the future. Treat 6 months as credit limit. It's wise travelling for few weeks to 1-2 months max at a time. Otherwise CBP may suspect visa is used for living in the States.
  25. OldUser
    Yes, unfortunately mistakes result in additional fees and wait.
