Not sure anyone here can say definitively. Feel free though to contact ICE (You can contact ICE via email at Immigration.Reply@dhs.gov or you can telephone ICE at 1-866-347-2423. ) as they would make the ultimate decision, but I would not hold my breath. I also agree with @Boiler, you need to discuss this with your divorce lawyer. Good Luck! -
As @appleblossom, and @Pinkrlion mentioned, yes, the mother can file an I130, but your OP seems to ask if they can AOS. This is not possible for someone in the F1 class (unmarried child of USC) cannot AOS since that visa class is not current according to the Visa Bulletin (around 8-10 years for a visa if the I130 is filed now). Good Luck!

If you do find a position in the US and need to relocate fairly quickly, you may request the consulate in Ireland process an I130 petition for your spouse. This is referred to as Direct Consulate Filing (DCF), and there is no guarantee the consulate will accept it, but it possible as a job relocation falls under the exceptional circumstance the consulate may consider and it is the fastest way to get your spouse a GC for someone in your situation. If you file an I130 with USCIS, then the consulate is not supposed accept a DCF. Good Luck! Sorry, read the rest of your post and it seems you are familiar with DCF. Personally, I would look at that option closely. Search DCF Dublin, etc.

Here is the full piece by Simon Shuster. When FoxNews excepted it, they left out quite a bit. I found this pretty interesting, I do wonder when Zelenskyy will start asking for manpower along with money and weapons. ‘Nobody Believes in Our Victory Like I Do.’ Inside Volodymyr Zelensky’s Struggle to Keep Ukraine in the Fight By the time Zelensky returned to Kyiv, the cold of early fall had taken hold, and his aides rushed to prepare for the second winter of the invasion. Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure have damaged power stations and parts of the electricity grid, leaving it potentially unable to meet spikes in demand when the temperature drops. Three of the senior officials in charge of dealing with this problem told me blackouts would likely be more severe this winter, and the public reaction in Ukraine would not be as forgiving. “Last year people blamed the Russians,” one of them says. “This time they’ll blame us for not doing enough to prepare.” The cold will also make military advances more difficult, locking down the front lines at least until the spring. But Zelensky has refused to accept that. “Freezing the war, to me, means losing it,” he says. Before the winter sets in, his aides warned me to expect major changes in their military strategy and a major shake-up in the President’s team. At least one minister would need to be fired, along with a senior general in charge of the counteroffensive, they said, to ensure accountability for Ukraine’s slow progress at the front. “We’re not moving forward,” says one of Zelensky’s close aides. Some front-line commanders, he continues, have begun refusing orders to advance, even when they came directly from the office of the President. “They just want to sit in the trenches and hold the line,” he says. “But we can’t win a war that way.” When I raised these claims with a senior military officer, he said that some commanders have little choice in second-guessing orders from the top. At one point in early October, he said, the political leadership in Kyiv demanded an operation to “retake” the city of Horlivka, a strategic outpost in eastern Ukraine that the Russians have held and fiercely defended for nearly a decade. The answer came back in the form of a question: With what? “They don’t have the men or the weapons,” says the officer. “Where are the weapons? Where is the artillery? Where are the new recruits?” In some branches of the military, the shortage of personnel has become even more dire than the deficit in arms and ammunition. One of Zelensky’s close aides tells me that even if the U.S. and its allies come through with all the weapons they have pledged, “we don’t have the men to use them.” https://time.com/6329188/ukraine-volodymyr-zelensky-interview/

Makes sense to include that. Good Luck!

Help (Split)
Dashinka replied to AndyFortune's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
Reading the message you posted on your profile it seems that a petitioner mis-stated the marital status of a beneficiary on an I130 petition. We need further clarification in order to potentially help you out. -
Why does everything the government tries to do cost so much? Hydrogen Hubs: Without Huge Subsidies the Math Doesn’t Work The White House has awarded $7 billion dollars of tax money for the first seven U.S. hydrogen hubs. They say it will leverage $43 billion in private money. Yet, the rules only require a 50/50 match. We are far more likely to see a $7 billion private money match. Why put more of your own money at risk than you have to? It is risky because green hydrogen costs at least five times more to produce than the methane reforming method, which makes 95% today. That is $5 versus $1. All of the regional hydrogen infrastructure will need to be built, and the future hydrogen demand will need to be created and incentivized. Because green hydrogen still costs more. Even with upfront and downstream aggressive subsidies. Because it is tax money we don’t have, it is added to our unprecedented $33 trillion dollar national debt. We are at an inflection point where interest payments are more than our national defense budget. Debt interest is projected to be more than a trillion dollars by the end of the decade. And the Rich Men North of Richmond just keep spending. https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2023/10/31/hydrogen_hubs_without_huge_subsidies_the_math_doesnt_work_989660.html

Not quite so bad for my wife. She simply does not like cold weather,

All you need is a copy of your GC and a copy of your current marriage certificate unless you are filing from overseas or a member of the military or the spouse of someone in the military to submit the form. All the rest is interview material, and it seems with your I751 pending you already have that (I assume you retained a copy of that package). Quite honestly, my wife and I found the N400 the least stressful of all our filings (I129F, I485, I751). Good Luck! https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/n-400instr.pdf

My wife filed the N400 with just the minimum required evidence also with a fairly hefty I751 in process. She was approved in a little more than 5 months for both. You only need the required evidence to submit the N400 and get the clock moving. If filing online, you can upload the "Interview Evidence" later, or if filing by mail, just collect the information for the interview. Good Luck!

What about immigration to Canada?

My wife is allergic to cold as well as she is from Siberia. Btw, we got a inch of snow last night for Halloween.

Technically, if she has a Masters equivalent she can apply for an NIW with an advanced degree.

re-entry permit expiring and further options
Dashinka replied to Vabsmith's topic in General Immigration-Related Discussion
The extension letter comes after the I751 is filed and accepted. Extension letters currently are issued for 48 months, and that letter with the expired CGC provide proof of LPR status. Your other option, if you plan to remain outside of the US for a longer period, is to file an I407 which would formally give up your LPR status. Then 18-24 months before you want to come back to the US permanently, your USC spouse can file a new I130 for a new GC which will be a 10 yr version. Good Luck! -
