Good point .. technically yes .. but since generally when you are away more than 1 year wihtout taking steps to preserve your residenct status, you are highly likely to lose it. Even if you get permission to leave more than 1 year, that permission is limited to 2 years. In this case, it was over 10 years, started a family overseas with non-usa citizens, didn't pay taxes, and so forth ...

Since you abandoned your permanent resisdency, you don't need to file ... If you were still a resident and didn't file before you abandonded it, that might be a bigger issue . But it dounds like that didn't happen since you said you only worked in the last year.

I'm sure the actual rules are more complex than this .. but from what I can see is the airlines are only fined if they board a passenger that is not eligible to be admitted due to the documents themselves, such as having no passport, no GC, missing or expired VISA, and even a missing return ticket if required by immigration. But if they are simply not admitted for other reasons beyond their control, despite having valid documents, the airline is responsible for their flight back home .. but can later try to recoup the cost from the passenger if it was the passengers fault (such as fraud, etc._). ... But the last thing the airline wants is to be fined and other sanctions by boarding passengers without correct documentation per the rules and having them beg for AP and asylum, etc..

And in this case, it would have been very simple ... they just needed to get persmission that the combo AP/EAD card is acceptable to board a passenger ...

No, Its not a guarantee and it has nothing to do with getting admitted... Its simply permission to the airline that they will not be liable and fined for boading a passenger without valid credentials in case they are not admitted after all. Just like any other passenger ... If the airline violates the rules,they will be fined otherwise. I have no idea what countries have this relationship and direct access to CBP's phone numbers ... but it has been done before in emergency situations where the passenger would not normally be allowed to board ..

There have been cases like this before, where the airline called CBP and got approval for the passenger to board ...

What country/passport are you from?

For comparison, my Wife's DS-3025 only had the TDAP and MMR vaccine by the panel physician. Plus the covid record. Everything else had the blanket waiver for everything else ... As far as I know, Pertussi is a required vaccine for the green card, and it is part of the TDAP which your form has totally blank including the waiver. Maybe someone else might have more info about this ...

It looks good except for the missing TDAP vaccine. It's weird he had the DT vaccine intead of TDAP. This means he is missing the Pertussi vaccine. The potential problem I see is that there is no blanket waiver for TDAP or Perrtussi. You might get an RFE to submit a waiver or to get the TDAP vaccine. Maybe you can go back and ask them if they forgot to record the TDAP vaccine or to give you waiver.

If you upload a redacted copy of the DS-3025, depending on what we see, we might be able to give you a better answer.

It is quite common for tourists coming to the USA to take a side trip, especially a road trip to Canada. The border agents see it all the time, and are used to it. Therefore, no, simply having a B2 stamp is in of itself inot a red flag. Its just part of her tourist itinerary which you just need to explain regardless. In fact, having the stamp is proof of her itinerary. Only issue would be if you are not really a tourist.

And by the way, there was a similar case posted in this forum by a couple with a similar plan as yours, except they wanted to re-marry religiously in the USA. But when they were not allowed to because their religious leader in USA said they were already legally married under their religious law. So they had to go get their original ceremony registered, and use that marriage certificate with USCS

Well you already passed the embassy, At this point, what matters is if the marriage is legally binding in India. If it is then, you are considered married in the USA. In that case, you would need to get divorced before getting re-married in the USA.

Are you saying that your religious marriage ceremony in India is not legally binding in India because you didn't register it? Doesn't in some cases India law treats it as legally binding to prevent abuse, even though it wasn't registered?

When you say "less invasive", are you referring to a lapraroscopic myomeectomy? If so, several other less expensive hospitals in manila offer them. If the tumor is really that large making her look 8 months pregnant, then if you do not mind sharing, what other advanced non-invasive procedure do you think is only available in USA? Will your expected health insurance give you access to them?

If the tumor is growing that fast and life threatening, then it sounds like you should start working on a plan B for your wife and yourself. India, Singapore, Thailand all have some fantastic medical tourism facilities where you get the most advanced and state of the art healtcare at a fraction of the price of USA ...

And what was the "info" they kept asking you fo again and again that you said you sent and uploaded? Do you have a copy of a redacted RFE?

Oh, also, will your job with your brother-in-law provide family medical insurance?

What is your Your annualized income and occupation? Your liquid cash assets Living situation. Do you own or rent, and what are the mortage,and rent payments Will your wife's e-business carry over to the USA and continue her income? If so, what will that income be? Or did it go bankrupt? Why can't you get a 2nd job to support your Wife and child? If you have such low income and assets to not to be able to meet the UCISC guidelines, it will be hard to survive. All of the above can factor into the visa officiers decision.

When he had his K-1 visa interview at the USA Embassy, did they ask him if he had any religious ceremony or any related questions? If so, what did he answer?

Years later when you actually have your interview for the ROC, don't you need to bring all evidence up to the current date anyways?

Note, please don't answer "no because I didn't have a SSN". Because you could have still filed, at least by paper, not to mention it would have saved your husband a lot of money in taxes.

Today is tax day. Didn't you file joint taxes together? Or did you file married filing separately?

You asked for thoughts ... So .. based on all the information you provided and especially what you didn't provide, I wish you good luck and really do hope you get approved, but there is a risk you will get denied, so be prepared for that. But either way, come back here and let us know what happens.

There are a long list of manipulative tactics that she could have been planning. It depends on how clever, stupid, desperate, or cruel, etc she is. For all you know, she is being manipulated herself through crazy gang or a crazy bf, and had a sick plan for you to die “accidentally” through a “heart attack” with antifreeze (lol, just saw that case on Dateline on tv) so she can get her gc and then sponsor her real bf and family. Or simple sexual manipulation for swaying the divorce judgement in her favor, pregnancy, etc The point is, why do you care or wonder so much why she wanted to come over. You knew it was for benefit and games to further take advantage of you, you need to simply report/email/documejt this and any other moves from her it to your lawyer and move on… . And your lawyer needs to order a deposition to either uncover her dirt for the divorce or get her to perjure herself so she can be held in contempt. and Therapist!!!
