How long do you plan to be in your home country?

Another vote to just wait and change name when naturalizing as a US citizen. That way, any travel documents used before then will match and reflect her maiden name. Once she becomes a US citizen, the Naturalization Certificate will serve as official name change document for her US passport.

There is no 90 day rule for USCIS. Don't even address that subject with USCIS. I would marry legally, get a marriage certificate, and file an I-130, I-485, I-765, and I-131 ASAP. Be aware that the foreign spouse cannot work or leave the US for 3 to 6 months (approximately) (must have a valid EAD a to work and a valid AP document to travel and return to US until Green Card is in hand). Yes, a qualified US citizen or Legal Resident can serve as a joint sponsor. Just answer all questions truthfully. Here is the guide you need:

This is hilarious!!!!! Fake family picture. https://www.yahoo.com/news/joe-biden-accused-editing-himself-184142232.html

Adjustment of Status. @Dashinka posted the link for the guide you need above. Good luck on your journey. Be aware that you cannot work or leave the US for 3 to 6 months.

***Moved to Working and Traveling During US Immigration***** I have seen no cases on Visa Journey which indicate you should have any worries. There are a LOT of cases where people have reported no issues at all....within the last month or so. I am sorry for your wife's need to travel. I hope she has a safe trip.

If outside the US , No. It is illegal to enter the US as a visitor with the intent to stay and adjust status....except for a K-1. Any discussion to condone or instruct others in illegal immigration activities of any kind is a violation of the terms of service for Visa Journey. Coming to the US as a visitor with the intent to marry and leave is fine......but intent to stay and adjust status is not....regardless of whether it is 30 days, 60 days, or 90 days. If an attorney tells you otherwise, run away. Having said that, if a person entered the US with the intent to visit, then their situation changes, it is legal to marry and adjust status (proving the marriage is to a US citizen). Waiting 90 days has no advantages. In fact, it could endanger the beneficiary.

If you are talking about filing an I-485 for adjustment of status, failure to file the I-864, affidavit of support at the same time, will result in a denial.

Filing for a spousal visa and filing for adjustment of status are 2 completely different processes. Which one are your referring to? Is the foreign beneficiary inside the US or outside the US right now?

The "less invasive" measures might not be the best measures. Do you have a professional medical background? Just curious. I really hope you get the DCF case processed quickly. Best of luck. @SalishSea

Thanks. For us, it was all email....in 2017. I assume they are doing it all that way now.

OP said in 1st post "On December 2024, we go back home and we divorced there because we got married in our country(Africa). After that I came back to the US and she stay there with our 6 months son and 2 years daughter." He left them all there!!! This is not a police matter at all. In fact, she could sue him.

Joining the others who say it is an unfortunate event, but not something to worry about. This happens from time to time.

What can they do if the children are in another country?

No need to do anything about it. USCIS is not going to mail anything to your Fiance. Just wait and correct it on the DS-160.

The I-90 would be to replace your lost Green Card. Why would the attorney want you to wait? Do you have an ADIT stamp in your passport?

This is not a 2 year Green Card, correct?

F4 category applicants with priority date of 1 January 2008 are just now able to obtain visas.

That is out of the scope of a field office. Wasted time, imo. I would concentrate on DCF and the job offer as @appleblossom stated.

She is still on her own, and she can remove conditions (renew her Green Card) under some conditions. What do you mean by "In case we are not really divorced..."?

To reimburse the government if she uses public funds. You are obligated until she becomes a US citizen, loses her status a a Green Card holder, has accrued 40 quarters of credited work, or dies......

She is on her own regarding immigration, but yes, she can remove conditions without you. Nothing for you to do. However, be aware that you are still obligated under the I-864 you signed.
