    Visas cannot be extended once they have been issued. Options: Option #1. Travel to US prior to visa expiration. Get the visa stamped to become a legal resident. New immigrant can then immediately return to home country to finish business before re-locating to US. You do not have to wait until plastic Green Card arrives. Option #2. Allow visa to expire. Then contact consulate. They can, at their discretion, re-issue visa if visa holder could not travel due to circumstances beyond their control...... I think #1 is your only option.

    That's big.

    Use this guide. It's pretty good. We used it.

    We are doomed.....

    That is not accurate. My wife and I filed separately for the first year she became a Green Card Holder. We did so in order to reduce our tax liability when she was an LPR for only part of the year. Had we filed jointly, we would have been liable for taxes on her income for the entire tax year.

    You don't have to file either jointly or separately as an LPR or as a citizen. As an LPR or as a citizen, You can file either jointly or separately. Filing status should be based on the better strategy for you. I think you need to speak to a competent tax pro. ***Moved to Taxes and Finance during US Immigration***

    Yes. A plastic Green card is evidence of status, but it is not the status, itself.
  9. Crazy Cat
    Toward what goal? You still have TPS?

    You are the primary sponsor. You must complete and submit an I-864.

    How long have you been outside the US on this trip?
  12. Crazy Cat
    You bail wasn't conditional on your remaining in the country?

    My thoughts too. I wonder if Pakistan immigration would detain OP pending case resolution. Might not find out until departure immigration check.
  14. Crazy Cat
    Ouch!!! I would consult an attorney asap.

    This CBP article may or may not be applicable: Can entry be denied to LPR convicted of a crime upon return to the United States? (cbp.gov)
  16. Crazy Cat
    So, the ex knows you are outside the US, correct? I think I would have an attorney lined up in case CBP detains you.
  17. Crazy Cat
    Are you planning to return to the US before the case is resolved in Pakistan? What is the charge?
  18. Crazy Cat
    No problem. I just thought the question would get more attention from the experts there.

    Agree. and I would bring evidence. Our officer wanted to see evidence of marriage from date of I-751 submission to date of interview. Spefically, he was interested in seeing paper trail documentation of us living at the same address, bank accounts, leases.

    I was notified only 2 days prior to wife's N-400 interview that it would be a combo interview. The local office, in the email, said my presence was required, and it stated this would be a combo. Fortunately, I had prepared for a combo interview all along anyway.

    Interesting.....Looking at just spouses and children of both US citizens and LPRs: November 2023 Immigrant visas issued by post NOVEMBER 2023 - IV Issuances by Post and Visa Class.pdf (state.gov) Manila (spouses and children visas) CR-1 issued 28 CR-2 issued 5 IR-1 issued 111 IR-2 issued 127 Total : 271 F2a issued 6 I know I carved out a segment of all visas, but I think it is an apples to apples comparison..

    It's really odd that no RFE is online.

    That link is for premium processing, not basic, standard form fee increases. I have seen estimates ranging from Feb to summer of 2024.
