An I-751 must be approved before or at the same time as an N-400 can be approved. Sounds like an update glitch in their system....or USCIS royally messed up. The USCIS Policy Manual states: Chapter 3 - Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence | USCIS " If the CPR has a pending Form N-400, USCIS adjudicates the Form I-751 before or at the same time as the Form N-400."

We took I-751 evidence from time of filing I-751 until interview date. Looks like you have that covered.

You can upload a letter to request a combo interview if you want. Some of us have done that with positive results. In my case, our local office informed me only 2 days before wife's N-400 interview that it would be a combo. Good luck.

Just remember that you must meet either during or AFTER the Utah zoom marriage before filing an I-130.

Wife's came as page 2 of the receipt.

The previous K-1 will, likely, raise a couple questions. So, if you are truly committed, why waste time with another K-1? Marry via a Utah online marriage, then meet, then US spouse can file an I-130 to start the CR-1 visa process. Just a suggestion. Per other VJ members, the average processing time between a K-1 and a CR-1 is only about a month. 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.

I already moved it there. You can access the UK forum here: United Kingdom - VisaJourney

***Moved to the UK regional forum for these consulate specific questions***

Not true. Contacting them once a year will keep an immigrant case alive.

Biometrics is no longer an additional fee for an I-751, it appears. $750 is the full fee. The additional fee appears only for an I-821 now (according to Form G-1055 Fee schedule).

She lives in the US. I believe PI recognizes divorces obtained in other countries.

You are married, correct? I would just keep proof of having mailed the I-485. No real need to worry at this point, imo. Good luck.

Wife's never showed anything other than case history.

I see what you mean. I'm not sure how that happened. Fixed the missing link.....Thanks for the heads up.

I merged a new topic from @Cholte cholte (posted in the Canada forum) into this existing thread (Part 3).

I wouldn't bother. They are not required, and personal affidavits are weak evidence. I would concentrate on quality over quantity.
