    Thanks for clarifying.

    No.....nor was she really happy with her passport picture.....but both pictures are fine, imo. LOL

    My wife had to do biometrics after we submitted her I-751 in 2019. They used that picture for her Naturalization Certificate.

    That's a pretty good estimate. Well done. I guess the Green card holder could get a re-entry permit which would allow more time outside the US...but that could cause some issues with calculating continued residency and physical presence requirements down the line. I think you sequence makes more sense.
  5. Crazy Cat
    No. As stated, this just isn't true at all. Can you clarify?
  6. Crazy Cat
    That only applies for exceptional circumstances...and at the sole discretion of the consulate.

    Yes, she can come to the US via a K-1, marry, then leave. However, a K-1 is a single-entry visa. Once she leaves, it will likely become more difficult to get a B2 visa or to visit the US. 1. Unless her circumstances change, I wouldn't expect success. 2. Possible. But very expensive and time consuming way to visit once. The process will take about 18 months....maybe longer. 3. A spousal visa is for living in the US. It is not a tourist visa. There are residency requirements to consider. 4. Why? An attorney can change neither the law nor a consulate's decisions.

    Taxes are exactly the same for US citizens and Green card holders.

    You are probably only a couple years from US citizenship.... Are you willing to give up all the time and money you have already spent in the US immigration system to this point? It's a big decision. Once you obtain US citizenship, you will be free to travel freely.

    No. But your receipt showing Adjustment of Status is pending is proof of "authorized stay" until the I-485 is either approved or denied.

    Visa Journey is a DIY site. When a member responds with a link, they are pointing you to the source for the answer to your question. I would prefer an actual source as compared to just a personal opinion....just my opinion.

    We had a combo interview, too. I was notified to attend 2 days prior to the interview date. I answered a couple questions during the I-751 part of the interview. The officer wanted to see marriage evidence from time of I-751 filing to interview date. Luckily, I went well prepared.

    I don't think you will need a joint sponsor if your CURRENT income is sufficient. CURRENT income is king, not past income on tax forms. Good luck. CURRENT annual income is calculated as follows: Gross income from last pay period multiplied times number of pay periods per 12 months = Current annual income.

    Not with a USCIS case number. Your DOS case # will come in an email after NVC gets the case.
  22. Crazy Cat
    The CEAC status will change to "At NVC".....and you will receive NVC instructions via an email.
  23. Crazy Cat
    Yes....except that the IL email comes from NVC. This is the process after DQ: 1. Case is DQ'd by NVC. 2. Case then enters NVC queue for your consulate and waits at NVC. 3. Consulate informs NVC of available interview date for upcoming month. 4. NVC schedules interviews for cases at the front of the line. 5. NVC schedules your interview when your case reaches the front of the queue for that consulate. 6. NVC notifies person of interview date via email. 7. NVC then sends case to consulate. After the interview is scheduled, it can take several days to several weeks for the consulate to receive the case.

    Here are the I-130 instructions: You might get an RFE. You might an approval. Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, and Form I-130A, Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary (uscis.gov) Here is the VJ spousal visa guide which might help:

    CURRENT income is king...not what was earned in the past.
