  1. Plan for a combo interview unless the I-751 is approved before. The USCIS officer will either approve the I-751 before your N-400 interview, conduct both interviews on the same day, or conduct only one of the interviews. Keep in mind that an I-751 must be approved prior to approval of the N-400. In our case, the USCIS field office notified my wife 2 days prior to her N-400 interview that I would be required for a combo interview. If not notified that I-751 has been approved before, just go prepared for a combo. Good luck.
  2. WooHoo! Congratulations!!!!! I still remember the day she arrived in the US!!!!! Some of us were monitoring your wait at the airport.......

  4. Nope. You have to file your taxes to find out. I recommend hiring a knowledgeable tax pro who knows tax treaties, foreign income exclusion rules, and FBAR requirements. Having a foreign spouse who has reportable foreign income, foreign bank accounts and assets, I can testify that it can get complicated. That's why I choose to pay our CPA to do all the research and filing.....every year. Too many different forms required for me to DIY. Fun Fact: The FBAR is filed with the Department of Treasury, not the IRS. There are stiff fines for not filing if required. I have peace of mind letting the CPA handle it.

  6. USCIS says you can use any combination of names on the marriage certificate on the I-485. For example, if Mary Smith marries John Doe, Mary can use: Mary Smith Mary Doe Mary Smith Doe Mary-Smith-Doe These are all acceptable for USCIS forms as new legal name. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-1-part-e-chapter-5

  8. As an Air Force retiree and a retired Registered Nurse, I remember your case very well.

  10. I think that the Police Certificate is still valid since you haven't lived there since obtaining it. Someone will correct me if I am mistaken.
  11. Yes. Are you the beneficiary or the petitioner for the spousal visa?
  12. Can you post a redacted copy of the RFE's?
  13. That's a problem. For immediate relatives of US citizens, no one can immigrate with the primary beneficiary. There are no derivatives.....and US citizens do not immigrate to the US,
  14. I hope, for your sake, that USCIS see this situation the same. Good luck.
  15. There is VJ history. There are members who have delayed cases at NVC for a few years by contacting NVC periodically.
  16. Typical Tier 1 representative with no real help to offer. Good luck.
  17. Did she earn income at all? Anywhere in the world?
  18. I assume that all extension letters have wording which indicates the expiration date on the card is extended.
  19. Concurrent, would be my guess.....in other words, it's useless if you have filed an I-751.
  20. It is very rare that a petitioner is called for biometrics. I wouldn't worry about it. It has always been on those forms.
  21. All US citizens and Green Card holders must report world-wide income regardless of where they reside and regardless of where the income was generated....assuming the income was above the threshold for reporting.
  22. Another vote to try a walk-in. Take a copy of the online notice and explain.
  23. Another vote for them to delay travel until immigrant visa is issued.
