You posted this under Tourist Visas (which is not related to USCIS Service Centers). For what visa category will the I-130 be submitted?

Online filings still go to one of the USCIS Service Centers.

No. The date on that document has multiple ramifications. I would wait until you can send them an accurate document.

The OP has already passed the 5 year mark as a Green Card holder.

Tom Homan was asked "What would it take to get a visit from ICE"? Homan said "Be illegally inside the US". They are also saying "The worst first". Bottom line: I wouldn't want to be out of status.

No. I would wait. You don't want 2 packages floating around in the system at this point.

Question for the group: Does a DUI violate the good character requirement for citizenship?

If you meet the continuous presence for 5 years, I would go that route. The 3 year route requires a lot of additional evidence.

I don't think so. unless they give you an ADIT stamp as evidence of status in place of the card. My wife and I had a combo interview. They did NOT collect her expired Green Card until the day of her oath ceremony. It is not normal for them to take a Green Card until the oath ceremony. Here are the instructions on the oath ceremony letter as to items to bring: • This notice with the reverse side completed. Please refer to instructions below. • All Permanent Resident Cards ("green card") that you may have, valid or expired. • All Reentry Permits or Refugee Travel Documents that you may have, valid or expired. • Any other documents USCIS issued to you that you may have, such as employment authorization cards, valid or expired. Having said that, nont having the Green card at the oath ceremony will be no problem.

Yes. These are state drivers licenses....not USA DLs. In Texas: You have 90 days to transfer. Transferring Out-of-State Licenses: If you have a valid driver license from another U.S. state, U.S. territory, or Canada, you must surrender your out-of-state license and are not required to take the knowledge or skills exams.

Yep. It's a matter what level of risk is the OP willing to take, imho.

Yet, I have seen cases where emails were used for withdrawals. I have also seen a case where the petitioner thought he reversed a withdrawal, but USCIS discovered it after the applicant arrived in the US. That created a huge issue which resulted in a denied I-485 (if I remember correctly). I would resubmit a new I-129f.

Why is there no outrage in the leftist media?

Congrats!!! You're good to go. However, you still maintain your obligations under the I-864.

Every couple has their own priorities, and each couple must decide which visa is better for their situation. K-1 More expensive than CR-1 Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork) Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 3-6 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 3-6 months) Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed. A K-1 might be a better choice when 18-21 year old children are immigrating also In some situations, marriage can affect certain Home country benefits, making a K-1 a better choice A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire K-1 entrant cannot file for citizenship until after having Green Card for 3 years. Once an I-129F has been approved, delaying the case is difficult to impossible if the need arises. CR-1/IR-1 Less expensive than K-1 No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765) required. Spouse can immediately travel outside the US Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival. Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport. Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US. The clock for citizenship filing starts immediately upon entry to the US. A CR-1/IR-1 case can be delayed indefinitely at NVC if the need arises.

No issue for you . Could be a big problem for them.

You would also need the expired card. The letter is worthless alone. This was a mistake by the interview officer. Hopefully, you will have your oath soon. You probably won't need the card, but you currently have no physical evidence of status. Just tell the representative, at the oath, that the officer took your card. There will be no issue.

I've been to the Irving location a few times. Hope today is your last visit there....😀

Thanks for the update. Good luck. Hopefully she will get a quick oath ceremony.
