US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hi friends, I'm back again (though this time in the removing conditions forum)!

Yesterday I received my letter from USCIS to confirm that they've approved my request to remove the conditions on my permanent resident status - huzzah!

Now, after reading the letter, I'm a little concerned, as it says "You should not travel outside the United States until you receive your new Green Card, as you may have difficulty reentering the United States. If an emergency arises and you have a need to travel outside the United States before you receive your Green Card, you may make an appointment at your local USCIS office to request an I-551 stamp in your passport that shows temporary evidence of status as a lawful permanent resident."

I actually have flights booked for my husband and I to visit my family (in my home country) in 6 weeks . I had no idea my I751 would be approved now or I obviously wouldnt have booked them (it was filed in February 2023 and I haven't had an interview or anything).

Now, it's very likely that my greencard will get here before I fly (the letter says I'll get it within 60 days and I fly 55 days after the date of the letter)...however, I like to be prepared just in case! Sooo, I went to uscis.gov to look at how to book an appointment for an I-551 and read the attached (please see attached photo, particularly highlighted section).

I was issued an extension notice after filing, that is good until 2025. I also have my expired greencard. As such, does that mean I'd be ok to use those documents when traveling (if my 10 year GC hasn't arrived yet)? And I wouldn't need to get an ADIT/I-551? That's how the attached reads to me, however, the statement in the letter contradicts that, so .

Thanks in advance for advice!

I'm preparing evidence of marriage for my N400 (filing under the 3 year rule). We don't really have any many bank or credit card statements with both our names on. We do have 3 years of IRS tax transcripts showing that we filed jointly though. Are the tax transcripts the "gold standard" here? Other things I can think of that are in both our names are car title and maybe the car insurance docs.

Oh we also just had a baby...so I guess that's evidence too

Hello

My wife is a US citizen and lives in the US, and I live in the UK so we are applying through consulate process. We have recently filed the I-130 but I have a question about the I-864

From what I understand, I, as the spouse can use my assets but not income on the form, is this correct? And assets have to be easy to liquidate within a year?

My wife's income conservatively is around $20,000, $26,000, $20,000 for the last three tax years which would leave us slightly under the required amount

I have a property in the UK that I do not intend to sell yet valued at 280,000- 300,000 with no mortgage, I own it outright.

Would I be able to use this to make up the shortfall or do they prefer cash in the bank as proof? If I can use it to make up the shortfall, what would I need to prove the valuation of it? Would I need to include the deeds and show there is no mortgage? I really just want to make sure I put whatever the most watertight thing is.

If cash in savings is better - then how much would they need to see from me to make sure there are no issues?

Thank you!

Hello there,

so we had our embassy interview on March 13th and the officer said she has no concern regarding the relationship, but I needed to provide a divorce certificate and a death certificate on behalf of my fianc e. They also asked for the original, and not a certified copy, of those documents. So we were approved pending the receiving of the docs, but on paper it says refused.

so I diligently got all those documents, took me over two months, and the courier finally delivered them in a week, and not in a day, and I know they were at the embassy on Wednesday.

The divorce decree is actually a certified copy, made by the court as they do not rss originals. The rest is original.

anyway this morning I check my status online, which was previously as send documents and refused .

now I saw that it was updated yesterday, still refused, and it indicates the documents have been received.

i am freaking out. Surely after receiving the documents they should just get on and approve this?

and I cannot contact anyone to ask questions, all I get is generic copy and paste type replies after a week, totally useless.

how and when will I know what s going on?

thanks!

I am a green card holder (10 year green card) and have lived in Pennsylvania for 6 years. I booked a trip home to the UK in June and I want to confirm that all I'll need document-wise is my British passport and green card?

It's been about 5 years since I was home and I want to make sure I'm not forgetting/missing something.

Thanks!
