You think the consulate people are stupid, right? Her ship has sailed on obtaining a tourist visa I believe for now. Can she show strong ties? If she keeps buying plane tickets I am sure she is trying. Not mentioning you at this point is even going to put her into an even bigger hole especially when they ask her what is she planning to do/who is she visiting and she is going to lie about it.... You can ask her to forward you the embassy appt confirmation page she has. (There must be an email/confirmation page you have to take with you to the interview) I am really trying to see what is the scam here beside you sending money and she not buying the plane tickets/paying for the interview, but looks like she did have tickets/went to interview.

You can check the RFE letter in https://my.uscis.gov/ if you have an account. At least they used to publish it "back in my day". So by the time the snail mail comes you can be ready to turn it around the same day.

You can't get married twice. So decide if you want the zoom one or the Phillipines one. If you do the zoom, probably you will need to supply a copy of that when filing the petition. Also tell your mom to f off and leave you alone. If you are insecure that he won't marry you there might be different problems there.

I would do the Canadian citizenship first regardless of what you are planning to do. You are super close obtaining it and you never know when it will become handy.

I don't think this is a do it yourself case anymore unless on this site somebody is actually well versed in both and can advice you what to do. Probably you will need a criminal and immigration lawyer or one that knows both very well.

Most likely the airline won't let you board the plane back to the US with an expired GC so you won't be gaining any entry. Did you have a 10 y.o green card that expired or a 2 yo one? if you had the 10 yo then you file I-90 right now and wait until you get the extension letter and then travel. https://www.uscis.gov/i-90

As long as you are not leaving the USA you will be fine. (So do not cross the land crossing in El Paso. In any circumstances DO NOT go over to Mexico, not even for lunch or dinner, check out the area and so on. It is easy to leave, hard to come back) Bring your passport and the I-485 receipt with you. If you all driving around Texas or just outside of El Paso make sure you have these on you because there are US Border Patrol Checkpoints within the US where they will pull cars over and check ids/ may ask people in the car if they are citizens. (Some of these checkpoints are even on google maps lol, if you search for US Border Patrol Checkpoint or immigration checkpoint) Never lie. If the officer asks probably the people you are traveling with in the car (your husband/friends/family) will be citizens and even if it is inconvenient for them you should point out that you are not a us citizen and if asked provide your documentation Probably if they asks for ids it will be obvious to the officer that you are not a citizen. Most of the time these checkpoints are painless and fast since there are a bunch of cameras (at the bigger ones) so it scans license plate etc so they will know at least who owns the car and probably the owner's info. Been through 2 different checkpoints multiple times in the last couple of years in south Texas, close to the gulf. (I was already a resident at that time). My experience was fine. The longest I've been there at a small checkpoint it was like 5 minutes because it was like super duper close to the boarder and the officer was interested of what I was doing down there because I don't live in Texas + checked my green card and there were literary 0 traffic behind me. The other 3 times they didn't even ask if I was a citizen or not, just gave them my driver's license, got it back in like 15 seconds and drove away. Noticed that it's definitely helps if you "look american" unfortunately.

I think in STL there are two that does oath ceremonies, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and the Eastern District of Missouri's District Court. Probably the Western District does their own around Kansas City region. So that is why i said it probably depends based on where you reside.

Since they are from IL I would assume the oath will be administered by an IL court....

You know those are not guaranteed right?

Depending on the airport there might be a whole separate line for immigrant visa holders.... Keep an eye out for that too
