    TM92 got a reaction from SOD in Tourist Visa / US Marriage / Return Home / apply for CR1   
    @cduran: here is a thread (one of many) concerning marriage in the US with a tourist visa (or VWP) and then filing an I-130 for the IR-1/CR-1 process. It is 100% illegal to have prior intent before POE to overstay. Thus, the following 2 scenerios are always illegal:
    prior intent to marry and stay prior intent to not marry and overstay The overstay part is illegal, not the marriage part.

    Since you are going to send the I-131 together with the I-485 paperwork, you can send the documents listed in the I-131 cover letter example below:

    Just a FYI, there are two types of J-1. Some J-1 programs come with a 2 year home country physical presence requirement and others don't. Holders of a J-1 with the 2 year requirement need a waiver to AOS: http://www.alllaw.com/articles/nolo/us-immigration/marry-citizen-on-j-1-visa-get-green-card.html

    If the I-130 says your embassy is Riyadh, then there is also an opportunity to email NVC (after I-130 is approved and NVC has it) and request a change of embassy.

    TM92 got a reaction from Kiolas in Left country after my husband applied for divorce, while aos was still in process   
    You don't have an overstay bar. Your overstay was about 93 days, thus less than 180 days. AOS applicants don't have legal immigration status but "authorized stay" allowed by the US Attorney General. Your "authorized stay" began on the I-485 NOA1 receipt date and ended when you abandoned (left the US without AP) your AOS.

    This can also apply to VWP travelers, i.e. CBP can deny entry. Only US Citizens are guaranteed entry.

    Worst case scenario if your I-751 is denied, then you can submit another one; that is allowed since only an Immigration Judge (not USCIS Officer) can revoke LPR status.

    Agreed. @Chantiago, if you want to avoid a negative effect from B-2 denial on your VWP, then you could stop the B-2 process, if you wish. But entirely your choice.

    @geowrian, which email above is the one to stop the B-2 process? Or should @Chantiago contact the call center via either call or online chat?
    Not that I can think of. But you or your husband can contact the USCIS Military Help Line and ask: https://www.uscis.gov/military/military-help-line I assume he is not stationed in South Korea. If he is stationed in SK, then the much better and faster Direct Consular Filing was available.

    Yes. This link might give you a rough idea: https://www.alliescomputing.com/support/how-to-address-uk-mail-correctly Looking up the postcode results in knowing the UK country (e.g. Wales, England, etc.); so no need to include the UK country name at all.

    Yup. Submit I-765 and I-131 together with a copy of the I-485 NOA1 to the Chicago Lockbox. I also recommend to include a cover letter stating you want the 2 forms to be processed together because you want to renew your combo card.

    In my opinion, you should be wary about advice provided by this lawyer as he originally said to apply for the K-3. Although the K-3 is still mentioned in current US law, it's basically obsolete. In fiscal year 2017 only fifteen K-3 visas were issued worldwide: https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Statistics/AnnualReports/FY2017AnnualReport/FY17AnnualReport-TableXVIB.pdf
    Even USCIS acknowledges this, https://www.uscis.gov/family/family-us-citizens/k-3k-4-nonimmigrant-visas:
    You should notify USCIS so that they convert the I-130 to the widow petition. The only hurdle I see is when the National Visa Center will request from you the Police Clearance Certificate from Saudi Arabia. But, I already mentioned that you can try to submit a notarized personal affidavit in which you explain in detail why you could not obtain it.

    Hmm, odd. Its obvious that your husband is divorced from his ex. Maybe USCIS wants proof that your husband was residing in DR when the divorce in DR happened (since DR has been known as a "divorce mill"):

    Not an issue as long as the marriage is legal where it took place and the I-130 was filed after the very easy USCIS definition of consumated; https://www.alllaw.com/articles/nolo/us-immigration/proxy-marriage-validity.html:

    You still have proof that you left then? Maybe entry stamp of next country you went to? I think it should probably be ok. You clearly had no intent to stay unauthorized and don’t seem to have stayed longer than needed to deal with the unfortunate events. Maybe talking to an attorney as someone suggested is also prudent.

    The I-130 is a petition, not a visa.
    If only the I-130 was approved but she never obtained & entered on the visa, then you should write to the embassy/consulate as well as USCIS to withdraw the I-130. She likely wouldn't apply & get approved without new evidence in that timeframe, but the I-130 never expires.
    If she obtained & entered on the actual visa, then there's nothing you can do.
