That appears to be a denial of your expedite request. Please keep us updated.

Did you read this in your link? "As in the United States, marriages in Colombia can be contracted in a civil or religious ceremony. " I wish you had come to VJ before getting married in Colombia. We would have advised you to avoid any kind of ceremony which could be seen as a marriage. We would have advised you to wait until after the US wedding for any kind of ceremony in Colombia. I think you may no longer be qualified for a K-1. You might be facing a denial at the K-1 interview. A "yes" answer will get a swift denial from the Consulate Officer, imo. A "no" answer, in your situation, could also mean a denial if the Consulate Officer thinks you are too married for a K-1 based on having done the Catholic ceremony. Other members might feel differently.

Yes.

G-325a has not been needed for years. It might be beneficial to read the guides here on VJ for any changes. Good luck.

You're looking at 18 months to 2 years.. The I-130 will take a about a year...then the NVC process will take a few months...then medical exam and interview. Read and study the guide below. Also, you might be interested in the Philippines forum.

Everything is invalid. He must immediately refile a proper I-485 package, an I-131 package, and a new I-765 package.

I would take original or certified copy. Naturalization Interview, What to Bring, US Citizenship (shusterman.com)

Passport will work.

***Like threads merged***

There is also a box on the I-765.

That could be.

The Social Security Administration and USCIS are completely different government entities, their processes are different, and process times can vary. I would think printing an EAD is more complex than printing a SS card. Looks like you will be fully equipped for work soon.

When did you start (file) the divorce proceedings? I'm just clarifying the sequence of events. We have members who are familiar with this kind of situation.

When did you begin divorce proceeding?

Is this correct? I-751 submitted: April 2021 Divorce: Sept 2021 I-751 approved: Oct 2022 You never changed to a divorce waiver. Was the divorce finalized in Sept 2021?

When did you file the I-751? You divorced before the I-751 was approved? I-751 submitted: April 2021 Divorce: Sept 2021 I-751 approved: Oct 2022 You never changed to a divorce waiver. Correct?

You do not want anything which might appear ambiguous to USCIS. Get a formal, legal courthouse wedding and a legal marriage certificate.

I wouldn't call it an informal marriage. It will be a legal marriage.

Get a legal courthouse wedding. Get a legal marriage certificate. Then, start the process.

Not necessary if in Spanish.

***Please do not post in the DCF forum if you are not filing directly with the consulate. Thanks. I have merged both your questions here in this thread*** - VJ Moderation

***Moved from DCF to the Europe & Eurasia regional forum****

Correct.

I would consider contacting my Senator about this. A month is too long, imo.
