We used a lawyer for the original 130/485 package w/ form g-28 but we are not using them for ROC. Do we need notify USCIS in any way that they are no longer representing us? The directions on G28 say "USCIS, CBP, and ICE will recognize Form G-28 until the conclusion of the matter for which it is entered, unless otherwise notified." and "The original attorney or accredited representative of record will remain the attorney or accredited representative of record in this situation" I'm not sure if 751 is technically it's own "matter/situation" or considered part of the same "matter/situation" . If we do need to remove them, we just send USCIS a letter stating so, correct? And should that be sent to the lockbox or to our local field office (who wouldn't have our case yet)? Should the letter be included w/ the 751 package?

Courthouse married, 1 witness, drinks at a bar after. That's it. Approved w/out interview. No wedding industrial complex...stuff. I wouldn't have gotten married if immigration required all that fanfare.

We have a Chase visa and only my name is on statements. I included photocopies of both physical cards that show that the card # is the same, different names.

The only thing our joint bank account is used for is to pay rent. We have a joint credit card that every shared item goes on (like groceries or dates), otherwise we pay for our own things on our own cards.

Add the first MFS tax return w/ a note about why you did it that way instead of jointly

You file all the forms in the guide, except for 130A.

You would probably benefit from legal assistance as it seems this process is not easy enough for you to manage on your own. Your wife is currently out of status and subject to deportation.

Look into Utah zoom marriage instead. It's simple and accepted by USCIS.

Is your GF on a J-1 w/ a 2 year home requirement? You shouldn't make any plans yet until you have this answer.

The US gov't knows you can't get divorced in the Philippines. Her Japanese divorce is legal.

Can the bank w/ the joint account provide you something indicating that it is a joint account?

Can you just send him money and he buy it himself to avoid any hiccups?

Ask her to go. Odds are high that they will want to do the 751 interview at the same time. If she doesn't show, then you get put back in the queue and are waiting who knows how long.

She has a 10 year ban to face for her overstay. She needs to leave now and serve it.

We have a pre-nup and we did not include it. It's none of their business and it's not required.

Can you get a i-551 stamp in your passport?

She is allowed to use the tax credit, just not Medicaid. It's not "public charge". https://www.healthcare.gov/immigrants/lawfully-present-immigrants/ See about having her added to your plan the day she arrives-call the marketplace in advance to see how to do that. If she has to buy her own plan, only do it through the marketplace, not privately. You don't want her to be without insurance.

Idk, I uploaded additional evidence to mine.

I think people are being dismissive. OP should be able to access their account, period. Yes, they can check it externally but maybe they have their own reasons, like uploading evidence. I only received emails and my husband received a mix of emails and text messages so it's important to keep your contact info updated. You should be able to get the access code. I never received mine in the mail so I made a request and they sent me a new one. 700 days with no word is way too long, something is wrong. Are you using the right receipt # for the right user? For example, if you are the petitioner, you are only allowed access to the 130. If you are the beneficiary, you are allowed access to the other forms. Perhaps you're trying to get something you're not "allowed" to have.

It's unlikely. If they approved and waived you in May, you wouldn't still be waiting in Sept.

https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/retirement/planner/credits.html she can earn a max of 4 credits per year, taking 10 years to earn.

You are making a bigger mess than you need to by being inactive in the process and playing the whatabout game. File for divorce. Hire an immigration lawyer to sort out your story and amend your ROC w/ divorce waiver.

He's not immigrating though. He's just looking to visit. If any tourist could just hop on these, don't you think they would dip in and out of the US and get 10's of thousand of dollars in treatment for free? Edit: I think OP is asking about a tourist visa for medical purposes but it's not actually not clear if he could be asking about expediting permanent residency for his father.

What? These are social service programs that one has to qualify for, you can't just randomly buy them.

He cannot get medicare/medicaid as a tourist. It will no doubt be cheaper for him to obtain care wherever he lives.
