  1. On the other hand, a denied 290B would still require refiling a new, complete I-485, I-131, I-765.
  2. This is one situation in which I might consider filing to re-open. It seems it was a USCIS error. Besides, it costs a lot less. Of course, you would still have to address the RFE matter.
  3. I would start reading and studying the VJ guide. The petitioner needs to also:
  4. Those people are wrong. Waiting to file for adjustment of status only delays the ability to work, the ability to leave the US and return, the ability to file for citizenship. There are no good reasons to wait. I would beg or borrow the money because only bad things can result from failing to file the I-485, I-765, and I-131. Good luck.
  5. The only way it would not be in force if she gained 40 quarters of work credit. Please let us know what your notes say. Having a Green Card would not negate the obligation, nor would the fact that she is working.
  6. ***Hijack comment split to new topic***
  7. It appears you entered via a K-1. You could have marked the I-485 or the I-765 to receive a SSN. In fact a K-1, itself, authorizes the holder to obtain a SSN. The VJ K-1 flowsheet also addresses it. I'm surprised the US spouse didn't help.
  8. You can divorce, but there is nothing you can do regarding immigration other than to refuse to cooperate in her removal of conditions. You remain obligated by the I-864.
  9. A person filing with a divorce waiver does not have to wait for the 90 day window to open.
  10. Might be easier to file for divorce, then file I-751 under a divorce waiver. I don't see how you can successfully file as battered and remain married. The battered waiver might be more difficult to prove. My advice is to contact a competent divorce attorney, file for divorce, then file the I-751 with divorce waiver.
  11. It depends on what records are at the local office. You might have a combo interview, they might approve the I-751 without an interview, or they might just do an N-400 interview. We have seen several different scenarios.
  12. My wife and I sleep separately. She and I are light sleepers, and I snore (she says) . The subject never came up during our I-751 interview. This is not something worthy of worry, imho. Good Luck.
  13. What visa category? F4? What is your priority date (date the I-130 was filed)?
  14. ***Topic was split from existing thread***
  15. DCF requires exceptional circumstances such as a short notice job re-location to the US, a medical emergency, endangerment, etc. Do NOT file the I-130 with USCIS until you know if the consulate will take the case.
  16. Sounds like you are just visiting via VWP. To answer one of your questions, you can NOT work inside the US after a VWP entry. Your stay will limited to 90 days max. Overstaying would not be wise. I'm still interested in knowing in what capacity the student is entering the US.
  17. The NOA2 will be the approval notice from USCIS...a hard copy sent to the petitioner.
  18. At the end of FY 2023 (September 2023), there 1,933,785 petitions (I-130s) pending in the pipeline. Number of Service-wide Forms Fiscal Year To Date (uscis.gov)
  19. We have to make sure we start electing the right people so we don't get there.
  20. Your passport will be stamped by CBP at the border to endorse the immigrant visa inside. That will become your Green Card until the plastic one arrives. There is no yellow envelope if your records were already transmitted electronically.
  21. I was asking about the other biological parent. Sometimes, they have to provide written consent.....but, like I said, I haven't seen many cases where a child adjusts from a non-immigrant visa alone. Thanks.
  22. There are spouses who have ZERO income, yet they can still sponsor an immigrant if they can find a qualified joint sponsor. It happens EVERY day.
  23. It comes into play. But, She already has a Green card......Financial support has already been established. It will not have to be re-established when she applies for citizenship.
