The IR5 has not been approved yet? Technically yes, she can enter the US with the IR5 and leave shortly after as her endorsed visa will serve as her temporary GC until her actual card arrives. What I am not sure about is for visas like an IR1/CR1, the USC petitioner is required to enter the US prior to or at the same time as the beneficiary, I am not sure if that is the case for an IR5 (maybe others know better). Good Luck!

If the DS260 is requesting it, you are better off getting it as it could lead to delays at your consulate. Good Luck!

USCIS and the SSA do not always work consecutively. If SSA issues a new card before the GC or EAD petitions are finalized, the SSN/SSC would still have the DHS note.

That is good to hear that things are progressing. The I693 RFE was to be expected given the amount of time that elapsed since your US entry with your K2, but the I864 should have been sent in with the i485 package. Regardless, I agree with @OldUser, find a civil surgeon to do your medical exam, there will be a fee for the Dr. appointment, and make sure you fill out the I864 properly (we are here to help with any questions) so you can respond to the RFE within the time limit. Good Luck!

You have to be an LPR through marriage for 3 yrs to file and N400 under the the 3 yr rule. Also, 1filing the N400 under the 3yr rule opens up scrutiny into the marriage and the current family situation which could transition to the I751 since you would almost assuredly have a pending I751 if you file the N400 under the 3 yr rule. Can you leave the US for less than 6 months repeatedly and still maintain continuous residence, quite possibly, but as others have stated it may raise questions. Good Luck! Yes, staying outside the US for 2yrs will impact continuous residence, but what is the priority? If you are actually wanting to stay with your family and keep a good job outside the US, maybe a better path is to give up the green card (I407), and then if the winds change and you and your husband decide you want to return to the US, you can follow the spousal visa path again. Whatever, I am also curious what company or job will allow you to leave for 6-7 months at a time when you move back to the US to try and maintain your continuous residence? I assume a potentially remote job, if that is the case, finish up your naturalization, and then move.

If a green card holder wants to stay outside the US for more than 12 months, they need to apply for a re-entry permit (I-131) which is good for 2 yrs outside the US and maintains your LPR status. If the period is less than six months, there is nothing that needs to be done, but many still fill out the I-131 just in case the trip overseas is extended. The re-entry permit does not delay naturalization, what delays naturalization is time outside the US regardless of if you have a re-entry permit or not. If you are outside the US for more than six months you may be determined by USCIS to have broken continuous residency, and it will be your burden to prove otherwise. I believe there are exceptions if the spouse of a military member or a qualifying federal government job. There is no alternative to the continuous residency rules. Good Luck!

You should fill out the I130 and I130a in English. For the I130 Part 4 questions 57 and 58, you will use your spouse’s native written language, and that does not have to be a certified translation. The I130a does not ask to use the beneficiary’s native written language.

I think the lawyer is referring to the I751. You will need to file that for yourself seeking a divorce waiver.

For the I130 and I130a you will be fine doing it yourself. Any other documents such as a Japanese Birth Certificate may require certified translations, but if you are confident, you may be able to do those yourself as well. Good Luck!

Are you still married , and living as a family? If you read the instructions for the N400 (pg. 18), this only applies if you have an order from a court to provide child or spousal support as the result of a divorce. If you are still happily married living together as a family with your daughter, you should be able to put N/A for this section, or check the box that says you do not support that child. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/n-400instr.pdf

So you agree with me that elected officials, judges, and government bureaucrats do not deserve immunity from anything they do, official or not?

But, but, but Bush and the Cheneys.

My wife and I saw one driving along the freeway this past weekend. It really looks like something some metal worker put together in his garage.

Name one of Kamala’s policies? I will wait.

If the package was rejected due to a payment issue, no one at USCIS ever really looked at the first package. Make your corrections with the new filing, you will be fine, no need for explanation. Good Luck!

If you are filing for IR5 like your profile shows you do not have to worry about that note. What visa are you looking for?

Yes, Item 3 is confusing if filing for a spouse. As @powerpuff stated leave item 3 blank. Good Luck!

LPR stands for Legal Permanent Resident commonly called a Green Card holder.

I think you can get Sulwhasoo via Amazon now. It was hit or miss during the pandemic, but I think it is available now.

Big cat.

What is the end goal? As @Boiler said, U4U, is way different than a K1 visa, but if the end is to get married and eventually become an LPR, the AWA issue will come up at some point during AOS.

Sounds like everything you will need. Good Luck!
