    Congrats! I know how difficult it is to open first credit card, and it's super helpful for building the credit.

    You have nothing to do, and you aren't liable for your spouse's taxes especially once divorced.

    From: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/passport-help/faqs.html?hl=en-US "If you have been waiting more than four weeks for your documents, call 1-877-487-2778 to report that you have not received your documents. If you want us to reimburse you for a lost supporting document, you must contact us within 90 days of the date which we mailed your passport. You will also need to provide a receipt to show the cost of replacing the document. " I realize the docs weren't lost, but this is the closest match for your situation.

    You can always apply. Whether you'll get it or not is a separate question nobody can give you guarantees on.

    This is so devastating! I know you can get money back if DOS loses certificate. Can you try contacting them to see if you can get reimbursement for this damage?

    2. You need to hire an interpreter or bring one a charity provides. It needs to be a third neutral party who is not interested in interview outcome. Your sister isn't a neutral party.

    Yes, USPS Informed Delivery is way more superior than tracking provided by USCIS. Congrats!

    His immigration is his problem. Techinically, he's required to file taxes on world wide income (even living outside the US) until she loses or gives up his LPR status.

    Are you sure it's not the details of current marriage that's being asked? At least this is what paper form does.

    1) How long was your wife resident for? 2) Are you saying she lived in the US for 3+ years without green card? 3) Why didn't you apply for I-90 within a 90-120 days of not receiving the card? If it's USCIS fault, it would have been free. 4) How did wife come to the US? On K-1 / CR-1 or IR-1? Or did she adjust status in the US? 5) Did she need to file for I-751? Too many questions, I know, but without it's hard to tell whether your wife is indeed a resident and whether she's eligible to apply for N-400. In general, it's possible to apply without GC (again, if eligible, we need to establish all facts).

    Spouse wasn't allowed in the building at all. We met outside right after and took pics there.

    As far as I know, I-129F and I-485 can only be submitted by mail. So you need to print evidence at some point. I'd keep it in digital format until then.

    I think the letter should state how early you need to be there? The rule of thumb is no earlier than 30 mins prior to appointment. My ceremony (not your field office) did not allow guests either.

    You don't need to do anything. Sorry about everything you're going through.

    Time to lawyer up. In my amateur opinion, any benefit obtained through fraud is subject for revocation, even if it was for dependant.

    The biggest problems with paid joint sponsor are: 1) Transactional relationship which is a fraud indicator 2) More importantly, the paid joint sponsor could sponsor several immigrants for reward over the course of time, and not even count them correctly on I-864. This is the biggest problem. E.g. they'd put they have household size of 4 (3 family + 1 immigrant), but in reality their household size is 20 now (because of prior I-864 liabilities). IMHO no sane person would be sponsoring a stranger. If they do it for money, they's super high risk they're fraudsters and make money sponsoring many people. Don't do it.

    Thank you for detailed report @TwoSwifts! Jokes and comments about officer's desks / looks etc are a bit risky. Glad you got an adequate person adjudicating case.

    Your mileage may vary (YMMV). I heard one person being asked prior to oath to produce a 2 year GC... Literally asked multiple times for it.

    Got card in my hand. It took about 2 weeks from being approved to receiving it. The plastic quality is good, doesn't feel flimsy. The printing quality is 7/10 subjectively. The ID doesn't have as much protection features as US passport card. Competitively, 3/10 when it comes to security. It features magnetic strip and bar code at the back of the card. Got some booze in a liquor store for July 4th. Never ID'd 🥲 I thought it would be first opportunity to use this ID.

    Processing time is currently 9 months for I-129F https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ Things did slow down a bit

    Awesome congrats! What a gift for 4th of July! It's always best to be overprepared than underprepared.

    Do you have any pending case? If you haven't filed N-400, you don't need to do anything besides police report, probably just for your safety in case if somebody tries using your old GC.
  25. OldUser
    If I-751 is approved, you're no longer a conditional resident. Don't travel internationally without 10 year GC or valid I-551 stamp, you'll get stuck overseas and will have to pay a lot for boarding foil. Police report is a good idea for many reasons. You can apply for naturalization whenever you're eligible, whether you have 10 year GC in hand or not.
