  1. I think it is even possible to request an urgent Advance parole document to travel, with documents to support the emergency need...
  2. Having worked in a very similar situation, I can assure you that some of the support on site is staff shared between agencies, so they will all enjoy the cuts. I would not be surprised that they will also reduce the numbers of posts where visa are issued. It is great to see people getting what they voted for.
  3. Awesome - that will speed up visa issuance, I am sure!
  4. You could also add your spouse as a beneficiary to your financial accounts (bank accounts, retirement, investment, life insurance, etc.), that is usually easy enough to do online and you can screenshot the updated beneficiary. Please do not forget to update your timeline when you have a chance. https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=475016
  5. Others have had their partners visit in a third country closer to the US, this might be another way for you to see each other/easier itinerary for you (from memory, @devusr lived in the Caribbean for a little while). 8-hour layover in JFK sounds nightmarish, please let us know if we can help you find a smoother path to destination.
  6. Are the lawyers who are saying it won't matter advising you on how to make make sure "it does not matter"?
  7. The thing is that entry is always at their discretion... so they get to decide what is "abuse". I am not judging your reasoning, just saying that what you think does not matter, really.
  8. Others will have better answer than I do to your questions. However, you might want to would look at the benefits of your husband applying for citizenship earlier (when eligible) rather than later.
  9. That is why I said "in general". I would not be surprised if another wave of reduction in services were to be announced soon.
  10. A few other documents would work, but in OP's situation, passport and receipt should be ok. https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification
  11. I do not want to stress @lacuuna, just make everyone aware to expect more controls than usual. I strongly recommend anyone with a Real ID DL to show that and only show extra documents if asked.

  12. The airlines are usually not going to ask . However, three times in the last month Border Patrol was checking documents at my gate before boarding. I have seen it in the past, but I don't remember it happening more than twice a year. They have, and they do, control immigration status. Same goes for some roadside check points.
  13. Cost saving measure. Used to be available in most U.S. diplomatic missions in the world. Now down to one per country, in general.
  14. I would upload what you currently have with a short explanation, and your offer to have them transcribed, if necessary. Diploma ABC (this is the US equivalent of XYZ) Last transcript from DEF (this correspond to UVW). Best of luck.
  15. And once they send money, scammers put them on a "suckers list." Source: https://www.app.com/story/money/business/consumer/press-on-your-side/2014/12/12/scamming-scammers/20302003/ You might get a new hobby out of it.
  16. All countries can deny entry to visitors. You shouldn't travel at all if that's too big of a risk for you. Why do you think being denied entry would be that bad? I can see it's no fun, but it has zero impact on the immigrant visa process (unless there was misrepresentation/illegal activities).
  17. They've deported US citizens in the past... Now is not a time to be without documentation. 😕 @seradnich, as @OldUser asked, did you have a 2-year, or 10-year green card? https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=481099
  18. You submitted all those statements with your affidavit of support, or your spouse brought them only at the interview? If only at the interview, then I understand better the reason behind the 221g. Best of luck.
  19. How and when did you file your affidavit of support? How did you document your assets?
  20. You might want to reach out to them and ask for advice on how to proceed. Reach out to Citizens services, not the visa section.
  21. Are you sure you meet all the requirements? If so, the consulate should not have issued a visa to an American citizen.
  22. I entered the US on a CR1 and I had the exact same experience as @OldUser. They only checked my extension letter the first time I entered (after the expiration date of my card), and I guess updated it to the extension date. No question on later entries.
  23. Could you please file your timeline? https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=473093
