US Immigration from Indonesia

Hi,

My name is S A and that is what's written in all of my documents. I just got my green card a few months ago. I wish to have my husband last name so my name becomes S A M. My green card expiry date is February 2031. If I change the name in my SSN and DL to S A M (my state allows me to get DL with a new name even if my GC is in different name as long as I have proof of name change and new name in SSN), and keep my GC and passport in my maiden name, would that be a problem for work or traveling or is that against the law by USCIS? I have done my research for weeks and still can't find an answer.

I might change my passport name to a new name in a few years (it's a complicated process to change name in my country and also I need to attend court in my country for it) so I will eventually change my green card to my new name when it expires. As of now I haven't decided to naturalize yet as my country doesn't allow dual citizenship for adults and me and my USC husband wants to retire there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I have Global Entry / Trusted Traveler Program membership that I signed up when I still had my PRC.

In my TTP dashboard (https://ttp.cbp.dhs.gov/dashboard) I have the ability to update my passport and my PRC. However, those only allows me to update the number and expiration info and the passport section doesn't allow me to add a new passport or change the nationality.

Anyone have any idea how to update my information?

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to go to U.S next month on a K1 visa. Since my situation changed, I will just come for the wedding and honeymoon for about a month then go back to my home country.

I know you can't leave without a parole card or green card but that's why we will go on the CR1 route afterward (we both know that will be another whole waiting game and money, but we're fine with it)

Please help me with these questions:

1. Will it become a red flag for me to apply to CR1 after K1?
2. Will USCIS/Embassy be suspicious of why I apply CR1 after K1?
3. What are documents I can gather while I'm in the states?
4. Can we submit our documents right away although I'm still in the U.S or we should wait until I leave the country?
5. Since I will live apart from my partner, should we still need a joint bank account? or medical insurance or mortgage under our both names? would that be necessary?

Thank you!

Hello, I've got a couple questions about documentation and the process when an individual is 1) being interviewed for the visa before approval; 2) when a person is being interviewed at immigration upon entry into the US.

1. A number of guides I have read online have mentioned the need for documentation of employment or business ownership, tax returns, bank statements showing sufficient funds to cover travel expenses and travel itinerary. Is this documentation something that is inspected at the visa application interview, or at immigration upon entry into the US?
2. I've heard that the interview at immigration upon entry into the US can be pretty tough, and they try to catch people out, and sometimes turn people away and send them home on the next flight. Is this true? Is this interview more challenging/grueling than the visa application interview, or vice-versa?
3. If the initial visa application is for a short duration, say a 10 day visit, and then the visitor decides they want to stay longer, is it best to make that change before or after arriving in the US?
4. Is the B2 visa always a 10 year, multiple entry visa for 180 stays per visit, or is it sometimes for a shorter period of time or only single entry, etc.?

Thank you

We've completed the application form for the visa, and now there is a 120 day wait for the interview in Jakarta. Is there any way to shorten this wait?
