Good point. I believe KJU would welcome a bunch of political protesters.

This is only for the I130, not the complete process. As @Boiler, @Crazy Cat, and @powerpuff stated, the process is much more detailed than just getting the I130 approved. To answer your question, no, being here on an F1 will not speed up the I130 process. Once that is approved, you will need to wait out the priority date for an F2A/F2B depending on where you fall.

I suggest South Sudan, Yemen, or Central African Republic.

I tend to agree, and there is a quite a bit of hypocrisy going on here. Sure, Santos basically enacted his real-life "Producers" plot, but there are several elected representatives that do similar things, set up family members in charity LLCs, etc. in order to siphon off campaign money for personal gain. Then of course there is Menendez.

I love the double standards the climate change/global warming acolytes use. If a warm weather event occurs it's all global warming and manmade climate change, when a winter weather event occurs it's all 'you cannot equate climate change by a weather event'. What a joke, but the sad thing is some people listen to them.

Completely agree. Several stories of similar nature with former Nazi's that gained citizenship until exposed.

My answer would be a resounding no. What needs to happen is accountability of the politicians that imposed lockdowns excessively. Philosopher tells us why the elderly owe the young compensation for the COVID lockdowns Lockdowns moved the burden of COVID from the at-risk elderly to the less-at-risk young. Does this sacrifice merit compensation? https://bigthink.com/thinking/covid-lockdown-compensation/

When is Harry going to be deported?

Hacking?

What country is no longer viable, and which country do you want to get to? The reason I ask this is that things are different depending on requesting the change for personal reasons vs requesting a change because a consulate is no longer open or processing visas. Regardless, I found this thread that may be helpful. What you stated is correct, you need your NVC case number and then contact the consulate you want to switch to and see if they are willing to take up your case. If this is a specific country such as Russia, Belarus, etc., there might be more specific answers in the regional forums. Good Luck!

Found this information that may be helpful, and it seems you may be beyond the 5yr GMC period. You may want to discuss this with a good immigration lawyer, or maybe go on Hacking's Youtube and ask, but from what I can see, you should be able to apply in 2024 after the date your case was dismissed in 2019 so you have a complete 5 yrs. Good Luck! https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/five-years-passed-since-crime-can-you-apply-naturalization.html https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/crimes-that-will-prevent-you-from-receiving-us-citizenship.html

I have not heard of USCIS only allowing a single application for emergency AP. I am curious as to why USCIS ignored your I131 from your AOS filing. I guess when they process an emergency request, they reject the other regular request. Good Luck!

Was the AP you received already single use?

I751 is also called Removal of Conditions. Since you only married in August (I assume 2023), your husband will receive a 2 yr conditional green card after he enters to the US, so in two years less 90 days from his date of entry, he will need to file the I751 form to remove conditions and get a 10yr green card. It is not relevant right now so I apologize for bringing it up, but I have seen many folks enter the US on a CR1 very close to their 2nd wedding anniversary date which is the cut-off between a 2yr GC and 10yr GC. Good Luck!

I noticed the same thing. Why they don't reference that in Part I Section B on page 2 is simply baffling.

A little off topic, but since the thread was titled CR1, I am just curious, how long away is your second wedding anniversary date? If close, I suggest planning to enter the US after that date to avoid the I751 process. Good Luck!

I agree with this ^^^. Show up and let the USCIS clerks sort it out when you check in for the oath. Good Luck!

R.I.P. Mr. Kissinger. Always found him level headed and on point. A true statesman.

The Interviewer will review the entire N400 form with you, and allow you to make any additions or corrections. As @OldUser stated, the N400 interview is never waived.

Yes, and your N400 is based on the 5 year rule which is also not marriage based.

You are filing under the 5 year rule, so your marital status is immaterial. Read the instructions again, the marriage based phrase is for those filing under the 3 years rule based on marriage. Good Luck!

This is what is stated in the instructions. The operative term is "Bring" and since you are filing the N400 under the 5 yr rule, you need to bring 5 yrs of tax returns/transcripts to the interview. IMO, not including them in the initial filing should not result in an RFE, but with USCIS who knows. I know if I were in your position, I would hold off as trying to match up supporting/interview material with the submission might be difficult for USCIS with a paper filing, then if on the off chance you get an RFE, you can send it then as it would stand a better chance of being matched up to your submission. Otherwise, bring it to your interview along with an amended work history. Good Luck! Tax Returns and Overdue Taxes. Bring photocopies of income tax returns that you filed with the IRS for the past 5 years, or 3 years if filing for naturalization on the basis of marriage to a U.S. citizen. Tax returns are not required for every case. However, USCIS strongly encourages you to bring your tax returns; especially if you are filing based on marriage to a U.S. citizen or have traveled outside the United States for a period that lasted 6 months or more. You can request copies of Federal tax documents at your local IRS office or www.irs.gov. You may also bring an original IRS tax transcript listing tax information for the past 5 years (3 years if filing on the basis of marriage to a U.S. citizen). To obtain a free IRS tax transcript, visit www.irs.gov. Select “Tools” and then select “Order a Return or Account Transcript.” For assistance, you can also call the IRS at 1-800-908-9946. If you have any Federal, state, or local taxes that are overdue, bring: (1) A signed agreement from the IRS, state, or local tax office showing you have filed a tax return and arranged to pay the taxes you owe; and (2) Documentation from the IRS, state, or local tax office showing the current status of your repayment program. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/n-400instr.pdf

The N400 instructions say this material is needed at the interview, not for the initial submission, but many either upload it or submit copies with the N400 submission. To the OP, you will be given a chance to update the N400 form at the interview, collect the material that is missing, and save it for the interview. Good Luck!

Unless there was any findings related to material mis-representation with the denied B2 applications (such as claiming to be married when not, etc.), I doubt there will be any issues. If asked, as @canadian_wife stated, the truth is what is required. Good Luck!

To my knowledge, there is no real difference related to processing times. Most folks submit the I130 petition online due to convenience. Our only experience with this type of situation was when my wife filed the N400. There was an option to file online, but my wife chose the paper route, and we did not really notice any delay. Good Luck!
