Congratulations!!!! Being in the "Free From USCIS" Club is wonderful!!!!

I recommend CVS. They have done a good job for us. or Walgreen's.... I would let the experienced folks handle it.

Only USCIS can answer that. It costs nothing to request an expedite.

It will be email...

CVS did a good job for wife's photos.

As a retired Mental Health professional, I second that statement. Borderline Personality Disorder is very complicated and requires consistent professional intervention, imho.

No. Can you post a link to that?

You will also need a copy of your government ID.

NVC does not accept phone calls anymore. The DS-261 has not been needed for 7 years. NVC will contact you with case and invoice numbers to pay fees and submit other forms.

***Moved to Passports, etc......***

You will need the original Naturalization Certificate and a B&W copy of the certificate. Both will be sent away with the passport application. You have no choice. They will return the original to you. I suggest making a color scan of the NC for your records.

Swalwell is a political hack who needs to be investigated for treason. Of course, he would defend a CCP money transfer. Only one of the dumbest people who walk the Earth would try to defend the corrupt Biden syndicate.

It costs nothing to ask.

ESTA Visa Waiver Programme and U.S. Visitor Visa - ESTA Online Center (esta-center.com) "You will need a visa, instead of ESTA, if you plan any paid labor or employment in the U.S. even if staying no longer than 90 days."

If you leave the US prior to obtaining an approved I-131, you will abandon the I-485. I guess you can wait and start the spousal visa process from Germany when you prepare to relocate back to the US. @Chancy, your thoughts?

I-485s cannot be transferred overseas.

You should contact the new consulate and NVC after NVC receives the case (you need the DOS case number) to request a change.

Did he submit an I-824 to do that? Seems to me that complicates matters. In addition, you will lose the I-485 fees you have already paid.

***Zombie Thread locked****

It costs nothing to ask the consulate if the first I-130 can be withdrawn, then resubmitted locally.

The consulate is not authorized to accept you case if an I-130 has already been submitted. You can, however, request an expedite at USCIS. Chapter 3 - Filing | USCIS "In addition, USCIS does not authorize DOS to accept a local filing abroad if the petitioner has already filed a Form I-130 domestically for the same beneficiary. If exigent circumstances exist, the petitioner should request expedited processing for an electronic or domestically-filed petition. Local consular or USCIS staff should inform the petitioner of the process to request expedited adjudication.[7]"

You cannot submit an I-290B to appeal a decision by a CO at a foreign consulate. I think you have to start again. Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion (uscis.gov) Who May Not File Form I-290B? 1. If you are the beneficiary of a petition or an attorney or accredited representative of the beneficiary, you MAY NOT file an appeal or motion unless otherwise instructed by USCIS and as specifically permitted by law. Only an applicant or petitioner may file an appeal or motion. Similarly, an attorney or accredited representative MAY NOT file an appeal or motion on the behalf of a beneficiary. 2. Do not use this form to file an appeal with the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). The BIA has jurisdiction over appeals of Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, and Form I-360, Self-Petition for a Widow(er) of a U.S. Citizen. You may file an appeal with the BIA using Form EOIR-29, which is available at the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov/eoir-29 and at the Department of Justice website at www.justice.gov/eoir/list-downloadable-eoirforms. 3. Do not use this form to appeal the denial of a U.S. visa application by an overseas Department of State consular officer (for example, Forms DS-156, DS-156E, DS-156K, DS-117, DS-157, DS-230, or DS-260). For information about U.S. visa application denials, visit the Department of State website at http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/ general/denials.html. 4. Do not use this form for appeals of Special Agricultural Worker or Legalization applications. You must file these appeals on Form I-694, Notice of Appeal of Decision Under Sections 245A or 210 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Form I-694 is available at www.uscis.gov/i-694
