US Immigration from Romania

Hi everyone!

My USC husband filed the petition of CR-1 on my behalf on July 29th 2022. I know we are a far way ahead until the case reaches NVC, but I wanted to be prepared when it will.

A little history on my behalf:

I was a one-year J-1 Exchange Visitor - Hospitality Internship. My programme concluded on 23rd of May 2022. That is the date when I got married. I continued to live with my spouse afterwards for the grace period of 30 days.

Due to the summer being absolutely wrecked by Airport Staff shortages I had literally no flight to book for me to go back to Romania because there were none. The earlier I could find was 26th of July, and that incurred a 3 day overstay. (I wanna mention that I had D/S - Duration of Status on my I-95). I could have not adjusted my status for within the US, because I had to go and conclude my studies in my home country which costed me a lot and I didn't want to lose my diploma.

In the meantime, I have applied and been granted the I-612 waiver of residence requirement under No Objection. My lawyer has disclosed my unfortunate short overstay to the DHS and they approved the waiver and so did USCIS.

My questions are the following:

Should I declare the 3 day overstay in the DS-260? Or no? Considering I had D/S status. I believe also they already know since it has been disclosed.

There's also a question for fulfilling the residency requirement. Should I say I did not fulfill but I have approved waiver?

If I can be guided by somebody, that would be of much help. Thank you very much!

A question came up from a family member that I helped with their N400 application. They have already been naturalized a couple years.

They noticed that they incorrectly answered one of the YES/NO questions on their N400 form, specifically the ones in PART 12 #48-50 (as it relates to bearing arms, non-combat service...etc)

I don't think the answer impacts their citizenship either way, but it is one of those things that would have been flagged and discussed during the interview, but unfortunately, the wrong answer was provided.

They really are bothered by this, so my question is, is there anyway to notify USCIS of this and make a correction on the application? I assume they retain the N400 application on file for some time, and not forever, but I could be wrong.

Definitely not a lawyer, and this might be a legal question, but can they cite an answer on your application and legally bind you to do something against your will? My thinking is that people make mistakes all the time on forms and one wrong checkbox is not a huge mistake and can be properly addressed if it ever needed to come the time. Happy to hear people's thoughts on this matter.

Thank you.

Hey

is there a way to block certain people from messaging or seeing your profile? even better would be to not be able to see your posts in different forums...

is that possible?

thanks!

Hello knowledgeable folks! I have just completed my I-751 packet and want to mail it out on Monday. The problem is that it's extremely thick!! I'm sure this is a common problem with people frontloading their petition so I am asking: how did you organize and mail it? Right now I have a stack of letter-size paper that is 2.5 inches tall (also due to multiple paper clips that I tried my best to minimize but yet again, they don't like staples so I only stapled some of the documents). I used colored sticky tabs that I stuck at the bottom of the docs to say what they are (did the same thing for my CR-1 I-130 petition and they seemed to have liked that so I did it again).

I have 1 sturdy letter size envelope (ridiculously small for my stack, it doesn't fit in!) and a plastic bubble envelope that is bigger but still my stack doesn't fit inside that either. Please help a noob out!! How do I get this monster to USCIS? Reducing the number of pages is obviously out of the question

Thank you so much!!

Hey everyone I was looking on here about the waiver but couldn t find anything more recent so I ll open this topic.

13/09/2022 we decided on a lawyer after we spoke with 4 different ones.

Gave him access to nvc and send off the letter of inadmissibly , currently waiting for the gp to give us a copy of our records.

Anyone going through feel free to post
