  1. You don't need to change anything. You can tell the CO at the interview.
  2. Is it not better to just live in the reality and not in the world of imagination?. China and US are too dependent to each other to go that far. Possibility of you and your wife having grandkids is higher than the closure of the US consulates in china. So better plan for where to play with grandkids rather than planning for which country to go for processing.
  3. Just file for AOS package with all relevant forms and documents. The sooner the better. No need of any explanation on why you chose to stay required for filing. Your banking or rentals or employment from UK are irrelevant.
  4. How did your wife fill out the i864? It's the same way for i864a. For the father: one i864 and one i864a, don't include the mother as the intending immigrant. For the mother: Separate i864 and i864a, don't include the father as the intending immigrant.
  5. If you like to keep beating it even after people telling you repeatedly it's a dead horse, what can one do. Saying it for the last time: nobody cares or asks. Of course anything that shows up on the police report will be looked at. Even those who overstay in the US will generally won't have issues for IR1/CR1 case so why would the US care about someone overstaying in Vietnam.
  6. Uscis neither asks about if your husband stayed in Vietnam legally nor you or he has to dosclose it. Immigration wise he needs to provide the police certificate from Vietnam layer on that covers his entire stay. That's it. You are worrying for no reason. All he needs to provide his start date and end date on Vietnam. All done then.
  7. The IO may have said he'll wait (not waive) for i130 before he can can make the final decision on i485. May be i130 package wasn't sent to him. So you just need to wait till i130 gets approved first.
  8. Expect 2 years or more overall to immigrate.
  9. No supporting documents are required for AP based on AOS. If you provided anything while filing for AP, it may not be sufficient for the expedite that you requested over the phone. Anyway, just wait for the uscis to respond at this time.
  10. No change, i765 gets handled by any service centers since decades ago.
  11. Yes. Just be well prepared for the interview, Did she live in the US for 15 years as an LPR? She could be waived for english language requirement if so.
  12. OP mentioned EAD as well, and there's AP too.
  13. It could go either way, depends on the reviewing officer. One could argue that the K2 follow up was a choice by K1 holder and was foreseen well ahead of the k1 interview and so not eligible for the expedite. The other could argue that since k2 has to immigrate within 12 months of K1 visa date so could be eligible depending on how long it's been. Did you provide anything? Unless uscis sees an interview appointment for K2, it may not see a reason to expedite even if it wants to.
  14. It could go anywhere. You will know where they went once you get the receipt notice.
  15. All that matters is your i94 record that shows your entry and exit dates. The car doesn't need to follow the immigration rules but the import rules which i assume it went through at the time. So no worries.
  16. The guidance is to use the visa for its dedicated purpose, that's why there are different visas. A plane ticket doesn't come with a guide note "not valid for bus/train/ferry". Same concept.
  17. Note that change of status to B2 is taking way more than 6 months and the i94 will have max stay of 6 months even if approved. So the i94 will already have expired by the time you receive it and you will fall out of status. Best is to leave on time and if you want to pursue another degree, you can try the F1 visa route again.
  18. Two issues: 1. The extension letter, even if the uscis issues one, will extend the resident status by 24 months from the GC expiry date. The extended validity will have already expired. Not sure if the embassy will entertain that. 2. Boarding foil requirements: One must not have been outside for over a year in general or over 2 years with Rentry Permit.
  19. Note that it's not just about the late filing. The i751 was filed on time and it got denied so very likely an NTA has already been issued 6 years ago. With no follow up on the NTA, it may very well have been established in the immigration court that the applicant abandoned the permanent residency. One could go with i751 and risk the denial again or just go with i130-consular process and get the new 10 year GC upon entering the US. I say the i130 process is faster and the safest choice.
  20. It could be some minor issues they want to clear up or it could be some bigger issue. As long as you are sure that you don't have any big issues in your immigration or marital history and such, the interview should not be a big deal.
