Hello! I filed in June 2023, and just recently got my 551 stamp in my passport as my extension letter expired. When receiving my stamp however they took my green card .

I was planning on traveling next year but after all of the horror stories I have been reading on this sub, I emailed my lawyer. He basically said do not travel unless it s an emergency.

So do we have the same rights as a permanent resident or don t we? I have always read that no one can take away our status but an immigration judge, so why is traveling risky?

Had an IR1 interview Last month 21 July 2025 but interview experience wasn't good. CO asked many questions with confrontation. Despite having strong Evidence like 5 Years into marriage, Chat logs, Pictures together, My wife multiple visits with long stay, residence country spouse visa under me, CO Tone was unsatisfactory even for the 100 % Correct Answers. though some of his question i told him an estimate years from decade ago for which i spoke to him i don't remember the exact date. at the end of the Interview he given me 221g Blue slip to perform AP. After the interview the same i received the email from embassy to submit proof of money transfers we did to each other which i submitted the same day. Case date changed happened twice (Next day after submitting the documents and 2 week after my interview. Now because of his confrontation and unsatisfactory tone i am in stress that may my nervous answers if it can impact case. At the end i even told him that i am nervous now.

Urgent B2 Visa Expedition Request Need Advice

I am a U.S. citizen father of a 2-year-old U.S. citizen son who has a serious lung condition and recurrent infections since birth. He needs medical treatment in the U.S. and must travel as soon as possible.

His Moroccan mother (my wife) is applying for a B2 visa to accompany and care for him during treatment. She has two other children from a previous marriage one is disabled and she will be leaving them in Morocco temporarily, which shows strong ties to return.

I m looking for advice from anyone who has been in a similar situation in Morocco or a comparable country:

• How to best request an expedited B2 visa appointment due to urgent medical need? Is there a high chance her visa will be approved since she has no intention to immigrate to the US because she has other kids

• Is it possible for me to appear at the U.S. Embassy with my son to explain the urgency before her scheduled interview?

Any experiences, tips, or success stories would be greatly appreciated.

We will have a joint sponsor if necessary!

How do we fill out I-864 if sponsor is unemployed and spouse (beneficiary) makes income that will not continue once we move to the US? We are living in Canada and have already submitted I-130.

1. Are spouses' assets able to be used if they are the beneficiary?

2. We already have a joint sponsor set up, but when looking at the form, I am confused about Part 7 specifically. Do I enter the joint sponsors information in Part 6 and then skip Part 7 (Use of assets to supplement)? Part 7 says if your income or total household income meets requirement, then skip this part. I am unable to use my household income though, correct? Based on the requirements for I-864A, we can't use his income due to the fact that it won't continue once he gains PR status.

3. In this scenario, is the joint sponsors' income considered my household income for Part 6 and I just skip Part 7 because it's not applicable?

If I can use the household income (Canadian income from beneficiary), then I wouldn't need a joint sponsor.

Hello. Badly need your help. We have an upcoming interview for my kids. I am the biological mom, married to my husband who is the petitioner, a Filipino USC citizen. My question is, he had a previous marriage in Ph and filed for divorce here in US. We have the divorce decree and our marriage certificate. His CENOMAR shows advisory on his previous marriage in Ph. Will this be a problem?
