Sounds as if you have an I-751 pending. Where are you right now? If you can get to Canda or Mexico, you could enter by land. Otherwise, maybe a boarding foil from local consulate/embassy. Just my thoughts

I would submit a new, complete translation as prescribed by USCIS. Always send copies unless USCIS asks for originals or certified copies. Good luck.

Yep. It's an "in-between" area in my mind....

That could be a problem, imho. I would be very careful if trying to submit a joint petition.

Personally, I would hire an attorney asap. If you are filing late, you might already be in hot water....and you aren't living together as a couple. How can you show that is a bona fide marriage?

Why are you separated? Marital issues?

There is your authorization to copy it. For government use is "lawful authority". However, if you have an unexpired US passport, just send a copy of that.

The very first thing I did with wife's Naturalization Certificate was to make both physical and digital copies. ...for personal use. It is also legal to copy for government use. If you are uncomfortable, just send a copy of passport. It is sufficient evidence in itself.

The word "or" in item D indicates that any one of the items is sufficient. It does not say you must send all of them. As a naturalized citizen, You may send a copy of your Naturalization Certificate or a copy of your unexpired US passport.

I have seen cases where the US spouse returned to the US prior to the visa being issued. The visas were issued.

I don't see an issue. You, as the petitioner, can return to the US before the DCF process is finished. Your spouse can then follow you.

Seems, to me, the OP is carrying an invalid visa since giving up citizenship. I would not think it can be used for anything.

This is not accurate...neither for an immigrant visa case nor an Adjustment of Status case.

@RandyW, it seems, to me, that you are mixing up terminology and processes. 1. A petitioner files an I-130 and/or an I-129F. "Applicant" is not an accurate term. 2. An I-130 fee does not cover the cost of an Adjustment of Status application (I-485, sometimes called a Green card application)). Immigration terminology is important. It also seems, to me, that your case is irrelevant to the OP's question.

Your priority date must be current to apply for Adjustment of Status. Being inside the US does not make your priority date current. This is the December 2023 Visa Bulletin table B:

It will longer for a visa number to become available.

Where are you seeing 2.5 years? Seems to me that both F2a and F2b are going to take longer than that.

Unless the I-601 is required....then it will take quite a bit longer.

Administrative processing. Any other foreign connections other than the UK? They kept your passport. That is a sign it might not be an extended wait.

In another thread, the OP is also asking about filing an I-601 for vax waiver. That will delay the process for a long as a year or more after the interview.
