US Immigration from Colombia

Hi All,

We are in Buenos Aires and my Fiance's (Colombian | Beneficiary) passport was stolen this past Sunday. I accidentally left a bag on the ground with the passport as we got into a taxi for th airport to leave the country and it was stolen.

We missed our flight due to this and I decided to rent an AirBnB for two weeks so we could get everything resolved. My fiance went to the Argentinian police and reported it lost/stolen. she did NOT report it to the Colombian government as lost though.

We have passed the inital steps andhave set dates to go for biometrics and the consular interview at the Colombian embassy the last week in December.

We are now locked in an argument about next steps and need advice.

My fiance wants to put up flyers where it was stolen offering a reward to get the passport back with no questions asked. She belives she can still get it back (It's been gone for 4 days now) and doesn't want to report it. Her concern is if we report it lost to her goverment we will delay the process and complicate things. She has her Colombian ID so she can leave the country to go back to Colombia so she wants to wait for a person to return it.

I want her to report it lost to the Colombian goverment now and start the process for a new passport. My concern is identity theft and to not waste any time getting a new one so we can have a new passport before the biometics and interview in December.

What are next steps that we should be taking here? Also how do we report this to the US Gov / US Embassy so we don't have any issues?

Thank you all!

I am the American citizen, my wife is the petitioner. Our marriage started with genuine intentions but it looks like there is no disney ending for us and we are likely to file a no fault, irreconcilable differences divorce.

Her two year green card expires at the end of this December and we had started preparing the 751 paperwork. However, with this potential divorce wrinkle, I want to get some feedback on whether to file jointly still as married or for her to file single with divorce pending.

My understanding is we have two choices.

Option 1 file joint i751 and start divorce. Send a waiver after divorce is finalized. Is this a messy process?

Option 2 start divorce in immediately and file for waiver i751 as divorced. Would my wife need to send in proof of a pending or finalized divorce? I imagine we would not be able to obtain the finalized paperwork until after her expiration date.

I still want to help her obtain her 10 year green card. Any advice would be appreciated.

Good evening, friends.

I m feeling a bit frustrated because I haven t been able to make progress on my permanent residency process. I m married to a U.S. citizen, and we have two children; one of them already has American citizenship.

The issue is that I created my USCIS account with an email that I never verified on Google, so I couldn t recover access, and all important emails were being sent there.

We ve already tried contacting USCIS, but it s been difficult to get a response since we are in Mexico.

I found the best solution: to add my case to a new USCIS account with a different email, but to do so, I need my case number. With this simple number, I can access all the information and track the status of my application.

Does anyone know the fastest way to obtain my case number?

My fianc e came to the US earlier this year on a K1 visa. Sadly, she experienced a death in the family shortly after arriving, and we made the difficult decision that it was the best thing for her to return to her country to support her extended family during the difficult time, and to start the immigration process over again. We are now planning to get married abroad next month and then file for CR1.

Were we supposed to do anything to cancel the K1 process when she left the US? I tried to figure this out at the time but couldn't get any straight answer, and there was so much going on I didn't have much time to dedicate to it. I just want to ensure now that we take care of anything that could complicate re-applying for CR1.

Thank you.
