    It is crazy! In a way, it is a "good" thing she realized early that it had been a real/legal marriage, otherwise she might have realized in 20 years, while married to someone else 😕

    A certified copy from the court would work in lieu of the "original". Just be aware that if you submit it after the interview, it is going to add a couple of months to the process (which might, or might not, be a big deal for your family).

    Yeah, I would get a certified copy. If you have to send it after the interview, Montreal is known to be incredibly slow to process any document sent later (6-8 weeks usually). See: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/MTL-Montreal.html#pre_interview_checklist "If you were previously married or your petitioner was: All original final divorce or spouse's death certificate(s)."

    Is it an official copy from the court, or a photocopy you made?

    Rude officers, that can happen at any airport, unfortunately. Usually, they will just be regular workers in an ok mood doing their job. I would pick the most convenient airport for you (location, cost of flight, etc.), then take a deep breath. If New York is your final destination, you will be all set. If you need to take another flight to your final destination, plan a long layover so you have time to deal with the immigration, luggage, and make it to your next flight.

    Well, that's a new way to scam for immigration benefits! https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3vpx5x6wdvo

    Unknown seems to be the answer. They'll find the old petition, if it existed.

    Crossing my fingers that everything is approved promptly. Best of luck.

    Covid vaccine is still required. Flu vaccine in seasons. Others depending on age. Vaccine waiver is possible, but adds about a year to the process. Might not be viable if you are trying to expedite it. Hopefully, you get approved to DCF, but they might also argue that you (as a US citizen) are able to move back home for treatment and wait. --- On another note, if your disability is permanent, your spouse is also eligible to some benefits from the VA. Something to look into later.

    Well, I feel that having an accurate supporting document would erase any doubt. The first copy was missing the year, then it was incorrectly completed (not confusing, but still incorrectly filled in). I would rather submit something 100% accurate, and be done with it than have to rehash it all in a few months. Best of luck.

    So why not order a copy from your Vital statistics office? Small expense to make sure it is all clean, correct, and accurate.
  12. Lemonslice
    I am still not clear that the copy of the marriage certificate you are submitting now shows all the required dates. Does it? If not, why not order a copy from your state Vital statistics office?
  13. Lemonslice
    That sounds good. Airline has given you a shorter layover, if it goes fast, you get to go home earlier. If it goes slow, you will make it on the next flight to Little Rock.
  14. Lemonslice
    If you search for later flights that day from DFW to Little Rock, are there any? https://www.kayak.com/

    When will your card expire? Change your card now, you'll pay the fee. Wait until the renewal, or citizenship, no fee.

    If it doesn't work out, refer to the carrier guide, and be confident when you travel back to the US. Might want to have a lawyer's number handy, just in case. Read again @mindthegap posts, he has years of experience, and research, to share. I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather, sending virtual hugs your way.
  17. Lemonslice
    Quoting myself. Monday mornings are always busy, I would have tried any other time. I would still try again before leaving, that supervisor made up a story not to help you. ... A lawyer won't help, but might reassure you. Knowing your rights, and how to present your documents, will be more useful.

    To sponsor which visa? If you submitted a I-864, then you will find the required income here: https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=452552 Please complete your profile and https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=452552

    That was also over the Holidays, I would follow up on Monday. Best of luck.

    Have you tried to reach out to the embassy directly? You might want to send an email with a very clear subject line (case number, full name, expeditious passport return request)
  22. Lemonslice
    @RM1996 Here is the link to the CBP Carrier information guide, you might want to download a copy to your phone before travelling abroad. See page 9 of the PDF, arrival by air: https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2023-Nov/Carrier Information Guide ENGLISH.pdf
  23. Lemonslice
    That is also what I would do. Do not go a Monday morning, it will be super busy. Say you are prepared to wait as long as it takes for them to slide you between people with appointment; show how important it is to you, but that you will be as flexible as possible to get it done that day. Bring photocopies of your ticket showing you were in Florida, and that you are leaving soon for Australia. Breathe, it will be ok.

    Aren't you able to get a marriage certificate from your state vital statistics office?

    They just get curious. My cats are weird, they love their carrier, and they both want to go in at the same time. I regularly take them on long road trips (7ish hours) and I have bought a medium dog crate that I buckle in on the back seat of my car, they don't seem to mind it. I feed them a couple hours before departure, and then again at destination. Mines are also overdue for their paw-dicures lol Luckily, they let me trim their claws at home.
