    I would check that I-131 fee again. G-1055, Fee Schedule (uscis.gov) "If filing for an Advance Parole Document Paper Filing: $630"
  2. Crazy Cat
    Excellent suggestion.
  3. Crazy Cat
    Hopefully, that is the 10 year card.....and all will be golden...

    No, the petitioner files the I-824 to move the approved I-130 to NVC.
  5. Crazy Cat
    No, USCIS could send the petitioner a notice which says the case has expired. If it is an admin error, you might get a status that it was returned to NVC.

    Where is the foreign spouse? It appears the petitioner incorrectly completed the I-130, which has confused USCIS. Your I-130 is approved, but it is now stuck there until either the foreign spouse submits an I-485 (if he/she is inside the US right now) or until the petitioner submits an I-824 which will move the I-130 to NVC and the consulate. An I-824 will delay the case for as much as a year. Note: It appears the I-130 indicated the spouse will seek a visa outside the US, and also indicated the spouse will adjust status inside the US. That is what caused the confusion at USCIS.

    Is the US citizen going to join Visa Journey?

    Taxes would not be the reason for returning the case. They would have asked for a joint sponsor. Either there is an admin error to correct, or one of you were not legally eligible to marry, as an example. Another possibility is that they found something in the extended AP. Step 1 is to determine why the case is being sent back. It could be an admin error...in which case, it will be re-sent to the consulate after correction. Marriage does not cure all issues. **Please don't start another topic about this. Keep the discussion here in this thread**

    Here is a source where the US Government (USCIS) seems to define 6 months as 180 days: Chapter 3 - Continuous Residence | USCIS "An absence of more than 6 months (more than 180 days) but less than 1 year (less than 365 days) during the period for which continuous residence is required (also called “the statutory period”) is presumed to break the continuity of such residence" I think it's reasonable to conclude the State Department uses the same definition. I would err on the side of caution and consider 181.4 days as exceeding the "6 month" parameter.
  10. Crazy Cat
    Because I think you are looking for the definition of "6 months", not "half a year".
  11. Crazy Cat
    181 days is more than 6 months.

    ***Duplicate question removed from another thread****

    Both the US citizen and the foreign fiance/immigrant should be here for this conversation.
  14. Crazy Cat
    Noone is accusing you of anything. However, you might be surprised at how often the foreign spouse/fiance comes here as a "friend". They do that specifically to prevent the US citizen from getting ALL the info and cautions we offer. Normally the US citizen is here asking these questions.

    "not unheard of" is not the same as a cultural norm. As I said, a much older female will draw attention in some countries. The only way to overcome that is by spending a LOT of time actually together. This is not a CR-1 case...which also is a factor. Are you the foreign fiance in this case?
  16. Crazy Cat
    Two words.....Cultural norms. I have seen cases where the age gap was mentioned in a denial letter...when the age gap was outside of cultural norms (older female marrying a much younger male). I have not seen that mentioned when the male was older.
  17. Crazy Cat
    Beware comparing cases which seem to be similar..... Age difference (older female) combined with little time together and cultural norms can be red flags in some countries.
  18. Crazy Cat
    You need/needed a waiver. **Moving this from the CR-1/IR-1 process forum to the Adjustment of Status forum as OP has filed an I-485***
  19. Crazy Cat
    Gender matters.
  20. Crazy Cat
    She can reapply at any time. However, her immigrant intent could cause a denial.
  21. Crazy Cat
    As long as she hasn't taken the oath she can travel with her 2 year Green Card and unexpired extension letter. She will not be refused entry. Besides, she might not even get the 10 year card.
  22. Crazy Cat
    Your friend needs to join us here for this discussion. This community can provide her with a wealth of information. The age gap will be part of the entire case. As @powerpuff stated, her fiance's country is an important factor.

    ***Moved to the Africa: Sub Saharan regional forum as the question is consulate-specific***

    The Dallas Field Office emailed us only 2 days prior to wife's N-400 interview to tell us it would be a combo interview for both the I-751 and N-400. Of course, I had been planning for a combo anyway.
  25. Crazy Cat
    Congratulations to you both!!! I predict the I-751 will be approved soon.
