Hi

I ended up doing AOS while visiting US with my spouse on ESTA. He is a USC. We had a change of circumstance as our baby was unexpectedly born 2 months premature (we came here when I was 6.5 months pregnant and were planning to leave in 2-3 weeks). We ended up spending a month in NICU and did not feel comfortable traveling with a preemie. I sadly ended up overstaying the ESTA by 3 weeks because, for whatever reason, USCIS did not get our package in time (perhaps the lawyer submitted it later than she told us). The GC was approved and towards the end of this year I'm supposed to do the ROC. We have had a couple of happy years here by now but are considering moving back to Europe for several reasons. Mainly, I have a good career waiting for me (my maternity leave is about to end), and I feel like my child would benefit from attending a daycare and school there. My husband works remotely, and there is a high chance that his employer would allow him to work from EU (he is waiting for an answer).

We do, however, want to retain my ability to visit the US again and perhaps one day move back here for good. So my questions:

• If I were to officially surrender my GC, would I be able to get a B visa in the future (I suspect ESTA is gone forever because of AOS?)? Or is that a very slim chance?
• If I were to officially surrender mg GC, could we in the future apply for a spousal visa? Would the fact that I did AOS from ESTA cast any shadow on that?
  
  Thank you
  

Hi all, looking for practical advice from folks who ve fixed small I 130 mistakes after filing.

in the section where it asks Is your current mailing address the same as your physical address? i have answered yes, but me and my spouse both living abroad and the mailing address and physical address are not the same. because i have answered yes to this, my address history is starting from the US mailing address to the latest address. oldest to newest in this order.

and i have left every box that doesn't apply to me empty instead of N/A.

one more thing due to the character limit on i-130A form the apartment address is cropped. like in i-130 it says for example Floor 9, Apartment 43. in the i-130A it says Apt43

also some of the address is cropped in the i-130 as well even though i remember that i have written the full address

i have consulted a lawyer and she was advising to fill out a new i-130 form to fix the mistakes and upload it with an explanation letter in your account.

what do you guys think?

As the title says, I was wondering if getting married shortly before DCF is a red flag and would result in a rejected application? For context, I am american and my girlfriend is from an asian country, but we met and live in sweden. In Sweden there is a concept called sambo which in the eyes of the law we are legal partners, we have been together 3 years and we bought an apartment together here.

Now I am anticipating a job offer back in the US and want to explore the DCF route for my girlfriend, but wondering if we get married here in sweden and then file for a green card will that be cause for rejection of her visa application?

Thanks in advance for your help!
