    Edit: This is very disappointing, and quite shocking. In the last quarter of FY 2024, USCIS was averaging more than 400 per day (I-129fs processed).

    I think the only answer is probably no. If there was an appeals process, I believe they would have mentioned it. I think this visa journey has ended. If you can cure the convictions, there might be an avenue by a new application. I, too, believe you should speak to an extremely good immigration attorney.

    If only one, I think the N-400. That is the notice you received. If the I-751 records are not available, they could then delay approval of the N-400 until I-751 is adjudicated. But just go prepared for both. @OldUser, what do you think?
  4. Crazy Cat
    Agree. That is very important..... and a secondary consideration is the cost of healthcare in the US.

    Plan for a combo interview unless the I-751 is approved before. The USCIS officer will either approve the I-751 before your N-400 interview, conduct both interviews on the same day, or conduct only one of the interviews. Keep in mind that an I-751 must be approved prior to approval of the N-400. In our case, the USCIS field office notified my wife 2 days prior to her N-400 interview that I would be required for a combo interview. If not notified that I-751 has been approved before, just go prepared for a combo. Good luck.

    I have seen no evidence of that at all....none.

    Nope. You have to file your taxes to find out. I recommend hiring a knowledgeable tax pro who knows tax treaties, foreign income exclusion rules, and FBAR requirements. Having a foreign spouse who has reportable foreign income, foreign bank accounts and assets, I can testify that it can get complicated. That's why I choose to pay our CPA to do all the research and filing.....every year. Too many different forms required for me to DIY. Fun Fact: The FBAR is filed with the Department of Treasury, not the IRS. There are stiff fines for not filing if required. I have peace of mind letting the CPA handle it.

    USCIS says you can use any combination of names on the marriage certificate on the I-485. For example, if Mary Smith marries John Doe, Mary can use: Mary Smith Mary Doe Mary Smith Doe Mary-Smith-Doe These are all acceptable for USCIS forms as new legal name. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-1-part-e-chapter-5

    As an Air Force retiree and a retired Registered Nurse, I remember your case very well.

    I think that the Police Certificate is still valid since you haven't lived there since obtaining it. Someone will correct me if I am mistaken.
  16. Crazy Cat
    Yes. Are you the beneficiary or the petitioner for the spousal visa?
  17. Crazy Cat
    Can you post a redacted copy of the RFE's?
  18. Crazy Cat
    That's a problem. For immediate relatives of US citizens, no one can immigrate with the primary beneficiary. There are no derivatives.....and US citizens do not immigrate to the US,

    I hope, for your sake, that USCIS see this situation the same. Good luck.

    There is VJ history. There are members who have delayed cases at NVC for a few years by contacting NVC periodically.

    Typical Tier 1 representative with no real help to offer. Good luck.

    Did she earn income at all? Anywhere in the world?

    I assume that all extension letters have wording which indicates the expiration date on the card is extended.
  24. Crazy Cat
    Concurrent, would be my guess.....in other words, it's useless if you have filed an I-751.
  25. Crazy Cat
    It is very rare that a petitioner is called for biometrics. I wouldn't worry about it. It has always been on those forms.
