The I130 can be done separately, more specifically before, or together with the I485 package, but when filing the I485, the I864(s) have to be submitted at the same time. Good Luck!

If your other post is accurate, it appears you are the beneficiary, and were in the U.S. at least in February. What is your current location? As @Crazy Cat stated a spousal visa and Adjustment of Status (AOS) are two different things. If you are still currently in the U.S., then your U.S. citizen spouse and yourself should research the guide below for AOS.

No, you should be fine as your GC will still be valid. Research the Removal of Conditions process (form I751). Good Luck!

She has to answer the questions of the CBP officer truthfully, but she is not required to answer questions that are not asked (I.e. it is best to not embellish answers). Many married couples in LDRs visit on ESTA/B2 while the I130 process is ongoing, so it does not matter when you file the I130 after the legal marriage. The main point for the foreign spouse visiting is to have evidence of their need to return after their visit, don’t show up with all their worldly possessions for a supposed short visit, and don’t show a pattern of maxing out the stay (90 days on ESTA), and returning a few months later for another maximum stay. Good Luck!

Hmm, Farage's Reform UK beats out establishment parties in 'earthquake' elections The right-wing Reform UK Party saw a series of electoral wins early Friday after it secured parliamentary, mayoral and several local election seats in what leader Nigel Farage said is proof that Reform UK is "now the opposition party to this Labour government." Farage, who predicted earlier this year in an interview with Fox News Digital that there would be a "political revolution," said the centurylong, two-party system that has dominated British politics was "now dead" after both the liberal Labour Party and Conservative Party saw losses in a Thursday election. Reform UK secured a fifth parliamentary seat after Sarah Pochin flipped the Runcorn & Helsby constituency, which is, according to Reform leaders, considered Labour "heartland." https://www.foxnews.com/world/farages-reform-uk-beats-out-establishment-parties-earthquake-elections

Could be any reason for a re-schedule. Maybe the IO your case was assigned to went out on sick leave unexpectedly. All you can do is wait until they reschedule, but this is a fairly common situation. Good Luck!

I agree, it worth mentioning and explaining upfront rather that to be questioned about it by an IO if they see something in their system. Good Luck!

I do love how they are calling lack of wind and clouds a "Rare Atmospheric Phenomenon". Who would have guessed. Is The New York Times Serious With This Headline About the Spanish Blackout? Spain made a huge announcement this year: it is now 100 percent powered by renewable energy. Green warriors unite! The planet is saved. Global warming is over, except that it’s now. And like Solyndra, this entire method of powering a nation was exposed as a fraud and a scam. There was an 18-hour blackout because the grid couldn’t handle it. The best part is that The New York Times had this headline for the fiasco: “How Spain’s Success in Renewable Energy May Have Left It Vulnerable.” https://townhall.com//tipsheet/mattvespa/2025/05/02/is-the-new-york-times-serious-with-this-headline-about-the-spanish-blackout-n2656355

If your legal status expired and you are now unlawfully present then check yes, and explain the circumstances of when your authorized stay expired in Part 14. Good Luck!

Which will be an issue for her if she tries to do ROC/I751 with a divorce waiver.

The link is correct, but just to clarify, it is form N-565. Good Luck with getting reimbursed for a new one.

OK, so it seems you are requesting a DCF based on your wife/beneficiary? Might be a tough climb. Earlier you said you have a job offer upcoming. You need to base the DCF request on that. Still may not work, but more likely as generally DCF requests are based on the petitioner's situation. I will leave my comments as to the lawyer to myself other than my overall feeling of if a lawyer (or visa service) claims they can speed things through the system, I would never use them. Good Luck!

Are you saying the divorce is not legally accepted in the US? I am confused.

Moved to the Effects of Major Family Changes on Immigration Benefits forum.

1) Nothing you need to do unless you have solid proof she committed immigration fraud. 2) Yes, she can try with a divorce waiver. I assume she has a copy of it.

To be clear, I meant transferring an active I130 with USCIS to a consulate for DCF. Of course I130s will reach a consulate eventually during regular processing.

So you have an active I130 filed with USCIS? I have not heard of a successful case of transferring an I130 that has already been filed at USCIS to a consulate.

Kind of dovetailing off my last post, and yes, this could have gone in the Pope Francis thread, but it seemed more important here. After Pope Francis, The Vatican Must Embrace Energy Humanism His 2023 apostolic exhortation, “Laudate Deum,” reads like it was written by Greta Thunberg and a horde of Brussels-based bureaucrats. Francis claims that “millions of people are losing their jobs due to different effects of climate change: rising sea levels, droughts, and other phenomena affecting the planet have left many people adrift. Conversely, the transition to renewable forms of energy, properly managed, as well as efforts to adapt to the damage caused by climate change, are capable of generating countless jobs in different sectors.” Millions are losing their jobs due to climate change? Where, exactly, is that happening? If the transition is “properly managed,” it could create “countless jobs”? Really? Doing what? Putting solar panels on convent rooftops? Who will ensure “proper” management? Germany? Francis didn’t back up any of those extravagant claims. Laudate Deum contains 44 footnotes. That paragraph doesn’t have a single citation. Francis’ main felony appears in paragraph 55, where he claims, “the necessary transition towards clean energy sources such as wind and solar energy, and the abandonment of fossil fuels, is not progressing at the necessary speed.” Let’s ignore the foolishness of attempting to run the global economy on the incurably intermittent energy provided by the wind and sun. Let’s also ignore the landscape-obliterating, bird-and-bat-killing, farmland-paving energy sprawl that comes with large alt-energy projects. Instead, let’s focus on hydrocarbons. Claiming we should give up coal, oil, and natural gas — which, according to the latest IEA data, provide 80% of all global energy — ignores physics, economics, and the needs of the world’s poorest people. https://robertbryce.substack.com/p/after-pope-francis-the-vatican-must

Yes, she would use the same tax information since they file jointly. Good Luck!

Congratulations on dealing with a very rare case. Five years will fly by, and heed well the suggestions by @OldUser.

My wife came through DTW with a K1 (some time ago), and it was a breeze, no secondary at least for her. Detroit is not too busy relative to international flights, so expect relatively quick service. Good Luck! Here are the reviewed for DTW you may be interested in. https://www.visajourney.com/reviews/poereviews.php?trim=no&poe=Detroit&page=1&dfilter=0

She is filling out the I864A in support of her husband’s (the co-sponsor) I864, so treat the husband as the sponsor in this case. As to section 9, sure, fill out her name information, then put N/A at 3, 4, 5, and 6.

There is just one intending immigrant right?
