This new "marriage" is going to potentially create some issues in her immigration and naturalization process. The I-751 and N-400 are going to ask for your marriage date. Which date will you list?

I would find another DMV office. You are already legally married, else, she would not have been issued a Green card. I don't recall my state requiring our marriage license. They wanted proof that she is legally present int he US.

I just emailed the author of the above Newsweek story....LOL.

Here's one I find interesting. This guy has been in the US for 30 years and never applied for asylum or a Green Card. Newsweek plays to the emotional circumstances......but the truth is buried down in the article. The headline is a lie. https://www.newsweek.com/father-detained-ice-drivers-license-2056696

I agree with @pushbrk. An I-864a demonstrates that the other joint sponsor spouse is aware of the obligations of sponsorship.

There is no 90 day rule for USCIS. There is no reason to wait. Either file a proper I-485 asap or leave and wait out the consular processing. I would not, under ANY circumstances, let my status expire. The issue you could have with AOS is if he made specific statements (that he would not adjust status) when he entered the country as a visitor.

I-765s go to MSC (NBC).

No. I would not include her. She should file an I-864. Be aware that she must completely qualify as a (joint) sponsor. You cannot add income together.

The landlord can write up a letter stating who lives in the home...or they can create a lease for you.

***Moved to Adjustment of Status From Work, Student, and Tourist Visas****

Either cooperate with the USA, or pay the price. The US isn't going to be pushed around by anyone.....anymore.

Exactly! It is NEVER too early to start preparing for the I-751. I saved documents and asked myself "How can I use this as evidence" the entire time of wife having conditional Green card (as you know, it turned out to be almost 4 years).

You would include it in your annual income, and you would submit your VA award/benefit letter as evidence of that income. Also, on the I-864, you must either enter the amounts from your last 3 years of tax returns OR you can explain (on the I-864 or a letter) why you were not required to pay taxes for those years (taxable income below filing threshold, for example). You can get a VA benefits letter from Ebenefits web site.

Several factors are involved: 1. The time it takes for you to upload all required documents. 2. The time it takes NVC to document qualify your case. 3. The length of the queue already waiting for interviews at your consulate at NVC. You might get some useful info from reviewing the timelines for your consulate.

Employment status of the K-1/CR-1 beneficiary is irrelevant to US immigration.

Workaway has a specific item in their conditions which says: "You are solely responsible for complying with the relevant rules and laws in your jurisdiction (if any) especially with regard to your visas. ".

False Guardian headline since she was not a pure tourist. She was a self-employed contractor illegally working inside the US.

Yes

Both numbers are on the visa itself: A Number = Registration Number DOS Case number is 3 letters and following numbers (NVC Case #)

The RFE should specify how to submit the response. Can you post a copy of the instructions (without any personal info)?

I could probably do our taxes now, but I would rather pay our CPA to do it. She has done our taxes and FBAR every year since wife arrived in 2017. We've gotten it down to a science now. I send her a spreadsheet that reports wifes foreign income and foreign bank account info every year, along with our US income evidence. Our CPA then files our 1040 package and FBAR, etc. She also includes a tax review. She charges me about what I have seen some people pay for H&R Block....and that includes filing the FBAR with the Treasury Department. The first year, she ran the numbers several ways to help us determine the best tax strategy. Since wife had significant income prior to arriving from a country without a tax treaty, dual status was the best choice for my wife that year.
