US Immigration from Thailand

we have a B1/B2 visa for my wife and are flying to the US soon. I (USC) will be working and i'd like my wife to stay with me at least 6 months (which is standard i think) and extend if possible.

I understand i can apply for an extension 45 days before the 180 is up right? do i need to give a reason, is just staying with me enough of a reason?

Also, we have applied for spouse greencard already, thinking interview in Bangkok towards the end of this year but no notification yet. Would that be a problem for a B2 extension?

Also on a related note, what if she gets an interview date in Bangkok while in the US, can she opt to do the green card interview in the US? or failing that, can she delay the Bangkok interview until she gets back?

Thanks

The AOS was received at Chicago Lockbox February 11, 2021 and we have not gotten a reply. I looked at stats and lots show the maximum time between AOS being received to NOA1 no more than 24 days. Does that sound right? Any shared wisdom on the subject is greatly appreciated.

ours was received on 05 Feb 2021.....

we have heard nothing either....

Question...how to deal with an expiring Green Card without a receipt from the I-751 submission?

Anyone know?

Thanks...i guess we are all waiting

think i posted in wrong place...but everything appears slow

Did anyone have luck using the DHL tracking hack that is on this NOA2 tips doc? Tried on DHL's website and by talking to a customer service representative on the phone and they couldn't find the embassy in Bangkok in their system. I'm wondering if maybe NVC uses a different logistics provider to Thailand.

Hi, I need to inform the IRS of my new US address and the only ways are call (don't work, tried for days, lines too busy), mail (too slow), file a return now on line.

the problem is i need to file with an ITIN number for my wife and that takes too long to get. turbo tax will not let me file married without entering the ITIN for her and i need her for the $24000 standard deduction

any ideas?

thx

My case has been stuck at Application Receive over a week and nothing update. After I finish my interview, consulate officer no need additional documents, no G , it has been approved. But until now other people got their passport back already but mine not yet. Im so worried everyday and very frustrated. Anybody has experience same like me? What can I do? How long can I expect to get issued?
