US Immigration from Philippines

Hi all, any help here would be appreciated. My wife's friend is going through this ugly situation..

She came here on H-2B ,(educated long term worker for toyota in philippines), fell in love with American , court marriage in Florida 3/8/23 just before the H-2B expired.

Approved i485 & i130 in Jan, got green card 1/3/24 expires 2026

EAD combo card issued, good until 2028

Has valid Philippines & Florida Drivers licenses.

this is where it gets sketchy - they needed joint sponsor from San Francisco (filipina good friend). American is broke , ineligible to sponsor.

American bounced first i765 / i485 check, had to redo everything after case rejection. 2nd time around she used money-order and finally went thru..

They just had big fight, she moved out. He will probably file for divorce, but hasn't yet..

She is 44, has family in the U.S. - She is working for Mitsubishi now in Florida and they offered to sponsor if things don't work out.. Also her good friend in San Francisco is willing to sponsor..

Any feedback on what she should do is greatly appreciated.

Short question...an n40p was filed and I realize the hire date of my first job in the USA was off by 1 day. So I was approved to work starting Feb 2 but listed February 1. Is this a big deal? Bring it up during the interview or not a big deal?

We received DQ notification January 9 from NVC. Said expect communication from Manila Embassy for visa appointment.

I have read other comments from last year saying there is no back log and it usually takes about 2-3 weeks.

Anyone have current experience or info for this?

My wife has entered the US on the K1 visa and we are now married and she has a temporary green card that has her married name on it.

Her name on the green card is different of course than what is on her Philippine passport since it has my last name.

The Airline in the US told us to use her original passport name on the passenger id name and thats understandable so she can enter the Philippines without incident.

Our question remains.. What name to place on the passenger name for the return trip to the US??

Should we place the same name that is on her Philippine passport, flying out of Manila and then hope her K1 passport visa (showing her maiden name and also my name as her sponsor) that is also on her US K1 visa and hope her green card Will allow her re-entrance? The Green Card has her married name same as her drivers license?

Hello

So my wife just filed her n400 a few days back and already has a biometric appointment for early February. I know well that the paper says approximately 7 months time-frame.

That said anyone here used the Pittsburgh office as your interview office? If so...after the biometric appointment how long until the interview?

Also we will not miss the interview but international travel to visit her family should not be a problem, correct?

And yes, I'm aware of the physical presence test.

Thanks
