The Department of State does not process or produce Green cards. Did you pay the $220 immigrant fee? You need to deal with USCIS.

It depends on why you were rejected.

100% normal. We filed wife's I-751 in March 2019. Wife got "case is ready for an interview to be scheduled" in May of 2019......No updates until approval in December 2022 after a combo interview.

1. No. Service centers are selected by USCIS based on their internal process. 2. Yes, at the discretion of CBP at every entry.

A couple options: 1. Receive all required vaccinations again. Generally, this can be done during the medical exam in many cases. 2. Have hospital perform titer measurements to determine presence of antibodies.

Hard to say. Sadly, SS Cards are hit and miss. You could go to a local SSA office and inquire.

Paying the immigration fee that late has probably caused a delay. I would wait a couple more months. You are still well within the "normal" time.

Between F2a and F4, it is a better option. But many people would also suggest having wife file I-130s for her siblings...as a backup.

Immigrating through Mother (after she becomes a resident), the twins might qualify under F2a category. Immigrating through your wife as siblings, they would be F4 category. As you can see below, there is a significant difference in time until their priority dates become current as @Pinkrlion said. Beneficiaries with the priority dates listed are just now obtaining available visa numbers.

I assume your wife is a US citizen. Since no derivatives are allowed for immediate relatives of US citizens (mother, IR5 category), there will be separate I-130s for each of the 3 people. Option: 1. Wife files I-130s for each of the 3 beneficiaries. 2. When mother immigrates to US, she then files a separate I-130 for each of the twins. Mother's case will likely take a couple years. The twins' cases will take considerably longer. Sadly, they cannot immigrate together.

Remote Work Policies - Can I work remotely in the United States on my visa? (santoslloydlaw.com) "The most important factor in working remotely in the United States is proper work authorization. U.S. Immigration law requires anyone who earns income in the United States to have proper work authorization. What if I earn income for a foreign employer while in the United States? Even if working for an employer abroad, working while physically located in the United States is still considered work by the United States government, even if a worker is paid to a foreign bank account. For example, if a B-1/B-2 visa holder is traveling to the United States for tourism or specific business purposes, they may enter the United States to vacation or attend meetings or events, but cannot work in the United States as B-1/B-2 does not grant work authorization.

Until they get caught.

VJ history proves otherwise. She worked inside the US without authorization.

The key is that she worked inside the US without authorization. That can get her entry denied or an expedited removal (and an automatic 5 year ban).
