ImminentImmigrant

I believe that one is the one you fill up on govt of India website. Then you receive an email with an attachment for the form.

The only thing I think you can gain is like a day or two in shipping. I don't think you can directly deal with the consulate. You have to go through VFS unless things are different for Houston.

That's a relief to hear. Our interview is tomorrow morning. Thanks!

I realize that.  We interviewed last week and it did not raise any eyebrows with the IO.  He was more concerned with our plans to return than what was on the visa application.

I concur...I think he's okay as well. I think it's an incorrect answer, but not impactful on the visa for his circumstances. It's really more designed for derivatives.
 
I think you're fine again...a green card is not a visa.

Someone may correct me, but I believe the answer to the "Is your spouse immigrating to the U.S.with you?" question is actually "No". My wife and I recently got our visa approved via DCF and we answered "No" after researching. The reasoning is because the US Citizen is not immigrating, they are simply moving back home. Only those who are moving to the US as new immigrants for the first time are actually immigrating.
 
As far as the domicile question, our evidence consisted of a moving quote, my US bank accounts (I never closed them while living abroad), my driver's license (I kept it), a phone bill, and a letter from my mom allowing us to live with her for a few weeks once we arrived.

I'm pretty sure that getting a *new* corrected 10 year green card doesn't reset your residency requirements. The domicile and residency requirements apply for all green card residents, no matter what shade of green they are. You might run into problems having spent 13 consecutive months outside of the US, with or without a new card.

That's really strange usually you'll get a ten year green car after removal of conditions i would call and ask

Sorry meant AP/EAD card it is a combo.

I would go for 1 personally, but how have you been maintaining the US as you permanent residency?

I was under the impression that I-751 (ROC) biometrics can only be done in USA. But looks like if you are overseas (India) you can request that the biometrics be done in an ASC in India. There are 5 locations in India - Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and New Delhi. You will need to make an appointment for the location that is convenient to you.

In US one can go to any ASC for fingerprinting as long as that center allows you in regardless of what date or what center the biometrics notice says. Its up to the descrition of ASC you want to go to. So you wanna make an info pass appointment or just walk in to the New Delhi USCIS location and explain to them and tell them you want to do the fingerprinting over there. It's worth trying that before making a trip to US just for fingerprinting. If they let you do that, you are good. If not, you have to make a tripto US i guess.

I agree with above posters. You can try and reschedule again but sometimes won't go in your favor. So it would be easier just to fly in and do biometrics and fly back out.

Best to make arrangements to come to the US for your biometrics. It is an important step in the process and you don't want to risk your GC renewal by missing it.
The biometrics can be taken in other US cities, not countries. Yes, it is unfortunate that you have to spend lots of money to travel but that is the risk when being out of the US for extended periods of time. Anything can come up during the immigration process.

If you are talking about having a 2 year conditional green card, then you are not adjusting status(AOS), you are removing conditions(ROC), which uses form I-751. You would have adjusted status after entering the US with the K-3 in order to receive the 2 year green card.
I am not aware of being able to do your biometrics outside the US. The USCIS assigns the local office based upon your permanent residence address in the US. If the USCIS is refusing to allow you to do the biometrics while out of the country, then there is not really anything you can do besides trying to reschedule the biometrics for when you are back in the US, or return early. They do not have to accommodate you.
You could have filed for ROC anytime within the 90 days before your green card expired, so perhaps you should have timed out your trip and filing date so you would not have been outside the US when you needed to attend the bio appointment.
~ Moved from AOS from Family Based Visas to Removing Conditions - topic is filing ROC, not AOS ~

Your port of entry can be anywhere. Mine was Toronto, of all places. As for biometrics, it happens at your POE, when you go through immigration.

Your visa stamp in your passport serves as temporary proof of permanent residence for 1 year when indorsed. So I believe you can travel with that once its endorsed. Its stated on the bottom of the visa page.
"SERVES AS TEMPORARY I-551 EVIDENCING PERMANENT RESIDENCE FOR 1 YEAR”,
Just don't leave for long, there's a set amount of time you are allowed to leave before they pull your green card.
The only time you would need fingerprints after this step is if you remove barriers to get the IR1 or the N-400.

Yep. You will be given a stamp in your passport and that will confer LPR status for a year. You need to follow up on getting your GC mailed out, paying the GC fee, etc, but your travel is completely free upon entry.
LPR is for living in the US, though, and if you live and work abroad for long enough your GC will be taken away. The whole point of this visa is family unity, so leaving your family doesn't mix with it.
Good luck.

No, a CR-1 does not get fingerprints taken in the US.
You are confusing it with a K-1 or Adjustment of Status process.
Good luck.

Biometrics are taken at entry.

No. You can enter at any POE in the USA or US territory (like Guam for example.)

It will always be your first stop into the USA as well so make sure to plan for time to activate the visa if you have a layover in a US airport.
