  1. I have no solution, but I'm so curious about why you tried that. Please come back and let us know how your re-entry was handled. Private car or bus, plane or train. All details will be interesting.
  2. His name might matches someone who isn't eligible.
  3. If you are able to get your renewed passport before the interview, it is a great idea. Much easier to do at home than abroad.
  4. Since you are not currently allowed to work, could she work more while you take care of the house/kids? Does not need to be forever, but would satisfy the sponsor requirements. Also, you might want to look at https://www.onepercentforamerica.org/ to help pay the fees. Does she have any assets? Do you have assets? Not to be pessimistic, but sponsoring someone is a great responsibility, with unknown future costs. The amount you would have to pay me would exceed the assets required to qualify. If you are unable to find someone, she will have to increase her income. Look at local colleges and trade schools for quick training/higher income opportunities. Google your state+"career center" to find assistance with that. You can also reach out to immigration help in your area, you do not want to be out of status right now. https://www.immigrationadvocates.org/legaldirectory/ Finally, for the benefit of all here, and to help answer your future questions, please fill you timeline. https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=490280
  5. Follow their instructions then. Go to a post office OR take an appointment to the SSA office. They won't deliver it again to prevent fraud. Since they'll need to go in person to update their citizenship status, I'd just do everything in person at the SSA.
  6. Yes, I had to do quarterly tax payments when I did some contracts. There might be a name, DOB, or other detail, mismatch. Probably not your fault, but you might have to escalate a bit to find someone who understands where the hiccup is happening.
  7. I'm a permanent resident. I've never had trouble confirming my identity with brokers and financial institutions, or the SSA. I'm not saying your spouse isn't experiencing trouble, I'm just saying that I doubt it's because of their status as a new(ish) citizen.
  8. Oh ok. So they just have to follow the instructions and meet the deadlines. Would be the same if they were born here. Best of luck.
  9. It seems to be a problem with your financial institution. Why do you think it's related to their citizenship status?
  10. Please read the form instructions, you'll notice it's probably not for you. Please read the guides here on VJ. From your timeline/history, it seems to me you are making it more complicated than necessary.
  11. Make sure you submit the required police certificates, as necessary. Otherwise, fill the form with your new passport details, and remind them you got a new passport at the interview.
  12. That is a great idea, a nice way to travel. Lounge, or some shopping and coffee. Breathe. Enjoy.
  13. I remember an other one where the consulate had missed a prior criminal conviction. Long, long, time ago. It is very rare. However, I would plan to get married and adjust status as soon as possible. I would not want to be out of status these days.
  14. Maybe you could travel elsewhere with her? Showing that she can afford to travel abroad and respect the terms of other visas/countries entry and exit requirements can be helpful. Go to Canada, Western Europe, Japan... or to a country where she does not need a visa (Barbados is fun!).
  15. Take a shoe box and create a digital folder somewhere safe. Read the i-751 instructions and the guide here on VJ. Any time you feel something would be useful to add to your evidence, add it to your box/folder. Will make removing conditions smooth and easy in two years.
  16. How/why do you think they could speed up the process? --- My answer: most probably not. Maybe, in very particular situations. https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=476098 It can help others provide appropriate answers. --- Edit: looking at your history, it seems that you have sent your i-130 less than 10 months ago? If so, just be prepared to wait some more.

  18. Instructions are also available online. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/MNL-Manila.html
  19. Always best to go to the source. See: https://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/short/novisa.html and https://www.evisa.mofa.go.jp/index
  20. I've seen expedite requests because of aging out before. Might be worth for the petitioner to request one.
  21. Amazing and wonderful men do not abuse others. He might have some qualities, but he's not a good man. He already made you lose years of your life. Take back your life. Build it back, one step at a time, to your happy place. You survived him, you are strong (even if it doesn't feel like it today) and will be able to do great things. Is there a good friend or family member who could be there for you now?
  22. This does not make sense. Anyway, no point in discussing hypotheticals. Not too expensive to apply and see what happens.
  23. This person was abusive to you. You recognize that you are not good at protecting yourself. Here is what I would tell my little sister, or my best friend: Please RUN away from him. A fiancé visa would have put you in a very dependent situation where an abuser is going to abuse you. He has already shown you who he is, believe him. ---- Take the time to heal. You will find someone respectful, loving, and nice to you. A few good reads: https://www.thehotline.org/identify-abuse/ Why does he do that? (pdf)
