Here is the guide for the I130 process you are about to start. We are here to help answer questions, but the form is fairly simple and can be filed and paid for online. You should also study the N400 guide for yourself as even though you have two years before you can naturalize, you can start doing research now. Good Luck!

I-129f questions (Merged threads)
Dashinka replied to ZephyrMoon's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Personally, I would explain the situation with your preferred name in your intent to marry letter, and if your fiancé is questioned about it, they have that document to explain things. I found this thread, albeit fairly old, that had a similar question. Good Luck! -
Yes, CBP controls the border, and can deny entry to anyone that is not an LPR or USC, but someone entering with a valid immigration visa should be fine unless that person gives CBP a reason to question the legitimacy of the visa. If you are quite concerned about the entry, why not go back and meet them outside the U.S. and enter together? This would more than likely solve both of your questions. Good Luck!

So your fiancé is not a U.S. Citizen (USC)? Until you are legally married, you are single as there is no legal “engaged” status. That being said, from your old posts just a month ago, I would wait before you apply for a B2 again. Good Luck!
-
I agree, if circumstances have changed, you can always apply again. My only question is you say it was denied last year, when exactly? I would wait at least six months before applying again at the very least. Good Luck!

Hmm, so active members of the military cannot openly criticize the administration even if warranted, but members of the deep state have carte blanche. I do wonder how many will be walking out and openly supporting Hamas.

Good information, I cannot say that my wife has had GE issues when she was an LPR as she did not get GE until after getting her US passport, but I do remember using her GC in the regular kiosk when she was an LPR a few times, and also needing to scan the back of the card. Beyond that, time to schedule that trip to continue your experiments!

So the child is planning on applying for a B2 visa? As to relatives applying for a B2 for the purpose of attending the wedding, they can certainly apply, and each on their own needs to satisfy the CO with the DS160 information and interview that they have strong ties to return after their visit. Good Luck!

This is not at all what @Lil bear, and @OldUser stated. You can travel outside the US with a GC, and as long as the trip is not longer than 6 months, the question of continuous residence does not come up unless there are frequent short trips that add up to more than about 548 days outside the US in a 3 year period or 914 days in a 5 year period. To the OP, you can certainly submit the N400 when that window opens as even though your I751 is pending as you are still an LPR. My wife did exactly that, and she had her I751 and N400 approved at the same time, and she actually never even received a 10yr GC as she completed naturalization and instead got her US passport.

I would add to make sure your brother does not use any of the local visa services that may be available, and if he does, he needs to make sure whatever is on the DS160 is truthful. You can help him fill out the DS160, but as already stated, the application is his alone. Good Luck!

It seems clear you understand the huge hurdle in front of you, and have done a great deal of research with possible plans. I am also pulling for your eventual success. VJ can certainly use well researched members like yourself particularly with this specific issue which we see occasionally. Good Luck!

Adjustments of status
Dashinka replied to kunleP's topic in Effects of Major Family Changes on Immigration Benefits
The main impact to you from an immigration standpoint is your wife as the USC/petitioner can withdraw her I864 from your AOS package. This is why I asked where you are in the process. If your spouse does do that, then your basis for adjusting status goes away, and by extension your EAD card becomes void. If you are abused you may be able to refile using a VAWA waiver of which I am not very familiar with, but there are some fairly extension threads here (see below) with members that are quite knowledgeable. If your spouse does not withdraw the I864, then at the interview time, you will have to convince the interviewing officer that you are in a solid relationship with your spouse. Here are a few links that may be helpful, and keep in mind that even though VAWA is named "violence against women act", it is not just women that can use this option. Good Luck! https://www.ilrc.org/sites/default/files/resources/applying_for_aos_through_vawa_june_2021.pdf
