US Immigration from Chile

Hello,
I need to remove the conditions of my green card and also want to travel, however, I m having trouble understanding if I can. My green card expires on Jan 28 2024 and the tool of USCIS says I can send the form i-751 as early as October 2023.

I was planning to visit my country in November, near Thanksgiving, but I m not certain if I send the form in October, would I need to wait to receive the confirmation before traveling or I can travel abroad without problem since my Green Card would still be valid?

All the information I found is about traveling after filing with the Green Card expired. Mine will not be expired and I m a little confused. I can t really find anything online about my circumstance.

Thank you in advance for your answers!

Hello,

The I-130 is asking where do my parents reside. They technically live in Chile but came to visit for a few months (as per usual, they have done this for 13 years) but after learning some information I decided it would be best if they just stayed here.

Questions

1) Since they are now here, should I put that they live in the US with me? or that they live in Chile?

2) It asked for my A number - should I put my old one or N/A?

3) It asks for naturalization certificate - I am unable to locate it. I understand I can provide US passport as evidence of citizenship. Is this not true for a naturalized citizen?

Thank you!

Hello,

Our case was DQ and we received an email that now NVC will work with the consulate to get an interview for us? Can someone share how long did the wait to get an appt? Just so I can get an estimate. Thanks!

Is there any issues with petioning a parent basically right after obtaining citizenship through naturalization?

Basically we have a longer term plan to get my whole family and my wife's mother living in the US. Currently my wife is waiting for her IR1 visa, after she gets her green card we plan on applying for her citizenship after 3 years living in the US, and right after she gets her citizenship we plan on her petioning her mother (widow).

Any potential issues doing everything back to back like that? On paper I don't see any issue...she will be a US citizen living in the US, we will have enough for the monetary sponsorship. But just wondering if anyone has any experience.

What has been other's experience when entering the US with your spouse when one is a US citizen and other is foreign visitor -- which line during border control have you all gone in and what has been your experience? Both in US Residents line? Both in Vistors line? Separate?

I have seen mixed messaing about this (only US citizens/residents in US line, but also keep families together, etc.), and even have received mix messaging at the airport.

Our story, we live in Chile and were visiting my family in the US, we were the last in line at border control (had to clean up a baby and a toddler after long flight), and we asked someone that looked like he was directing people where to go -- which line we should go in (with US citizen and foreign spouse). He told us to all go in the US citizen line to keep family together. We do that, we arrive at the control and the agent procedes to chew us out, saying my wife isn't a citizen, she shouldn't be in this line etc., I explain that is what we were instructed to do. She then later is pretty rude, and instead of telling my wife that they will do additional screening just asks her "Do you want the baby or do you want to hand it to your husband", we had to ask why and then she told us.

THEN just some lovely contridictory nature of the CBP, she gets to the secondary screening....this agent is very friendly and relaxed, and asks her if she had a green card in the past, she said she did and she officially abandoned it two years ago...and he asks her "why? You should have just kept the green card." Just telling us to commit fraud (keeping a green card while obviously residing in another country). Didn't ask her anything else and let her through.

So yah know....the only consistent thing is the inconsistancy.
