US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hi all, I had a quick scan of this section and UK section of VJ and didn t see anything that looked like it answered my question, but happy to be corrected.

I am a USC, not living in the US but who was living in the UK for the last 10 years. When I moved I was at the very end of the process of applying for British citizenship when COVID hit and slowed everything down and then my mom got much sicker and we needed to come to the US as quickly as possible so I dropped everything and came out here and my husband followed when his IR-1 was approved.

All that s left in my British citizenship journey is to take my oath ceremony and my local UK county council has just contacted me to say that if I don t take the ceremony soon, I will lose this opportunity at citizenship. Ceremonies are now virtual but I have to physically be in the UK to attend.

So, I know if I fly into the UK from the US I have to have a negative COVID test within 72 hours and I have to quarantine for 10 days. But what if I don t need to stay in the country? Could I fly in, get a COVID test, quarantine long enough to take my online ceremony and get a negative result and then leave again? Also, do I have to have to have a negative test to go back to the US? Would it be feasible for the one test to count for both?

My head is spinning and all my googling is coming up with conflicting or outdated info. Any help would be much appreciated.

So despite me telling the officer that ive been married for more than two years and should get an IR, he said thats not his problem and gave me a CR1.

I think I read that once i get the GC i can fill a form to get it corrected?

Ughhhhh

I am applying for AOS on an ESTA after getting married. I am struggling to find how the answer these questions correctly. I have checked the official instructions too.

Part 1 Q24 - Does my immigration status automatically change once married? If so/not what I should put?

Part 2 Q12 - What information should I put or do I leave blank? I have a K1 visa

Also, we didn't use a interpreter, shall we leave it blank or put n/a ?

Thank

Hi everyone,

I haven't posted on here in a long time. My marriage unfortunately did not work out and I'm at the very end of divorce proceedings right now - my divorce decree should be here any day now. I've read a LOT of posts on here and elsewhere about filing the I751 waiver and I've started pulling evidence together to show that our marriage was genuine. I guess I just wanted to say it all out loud to you guys in the hope that someone will confirm what I have so far is correct and perhaps point out anything I may have missed.

My 2 year conditional green care expires in August this year and I know I can file my papers as soon as I have that divorce decree. In anticipation of it being here within the next month, I've start gathering evidence. This is what I have so far:

- copy of marriage certificate
- pictures from our wedding, engagement shoot, pictures of us with my family and our friends
- two years of tax returns showing that we filed jointly
- utility bills in both our names, showing the same address
- copy of our rental agreement
- our previous landlord does not have a copy of the agreement as it was a while ago, but I have asked him to write a letter on official paper stating we lived there together
- we had marriage counselling sessions for a while, so our therapist is going to make amendments to notes and let me have a copy and also a copy of all the dates of our sessions

- copy of both sides of my green card
- a voided check showing our previous joint bank account
- a copy of my emergency contact information showing my husband as my emergency contact
- receipts for gifts purchased for him
- I still have all our wedding cards so I was going to include a few of those
- I will include phone logs showing we called eachother, texts showing we communicated as husband and wife
- screenshots of facebook posts, pictures of us spending days out together and doing things as a married couple

This is what I wanted to get advice on...

As our marriage started to break down, my ex husband became verbally and emotionally abusive. I have screenshots of texts he sent me during a period of about a year when things were rocky. I can contact the police for a police report as I had to report him on two separate occasions during this time. Is this going to be helpful to show why the marriage ultimately ended? I'm not filing for a waiver based on abuse, as it was never physical. Is it worth me including this verbal abuse to show why I wanted a divorce in the end?

If there is anything else you think I need to include, please let me know.

Thank you.

When I filed I-130 for my wife last year, I was a permanent resident. Since then, I sent a letter to USCIS asking to upgrade her to IR of US citizen. I also filed my AOS for her in the last week. About a week ago, her application was sent to NVC for consular. I presume it takes about a week for NVC to transfer her file back to USCIS for AOS application. Is there anything I need to do now? Does anyone know how long it takes for the switch back to AOS and USCIS processing to occur?
