Congrats!!! Your NOA is within a few days from mine so MAYBE just MAYBE I will hear from them sometime soon lol.

Good points all. Perhaps I was misinformed.

Thank you all!

When someone has I-751 pending and is applying for a job how do you answer the question "will you now or in the future require sponsorship for employment visa status" ? Yes or No?

There was no mention of I-130 was there?

Yes, however common sense is also used while making decisions. I do not believe that OP falls under the category of people who have intent to immigrate. She stated that she simply wants to see the country first and knowing that she has an option to purse the path of the CG she may. Had she said that she intends to adjust while she is here then that would be an intent. I agree with everyone else that the OP is probably better off pursuing the immigration process vs a tourist visa but I do not believe that her chances of getting a visa are lower than the next person.

I do not believe that this is true. Exactly 3 of my USC friends' parent received tourist visas in less than 2 minutes at different embassies. Immigration officers understand that there is no point of denying a visa to someone who can choose to get a GC in under 12 month if they choose to. The question is what is OP's real intent and if she will decide to adjust while in the US should she decide she likes it here. Yes, these days there are huge lines for B1/B2 visa but even that is not an issue if you have the means to travel elsewhere. My father got his visa 2 weeks ago in Poland because my home country has no appointments available in the next 2 years. Poland has a wait time of 30 days or so as we speak. Not sure where y'all get the info from but I have not seen/heard of a USC parent get denied a visa. Siblings are a different story.

Yes, you are authorized to stay. While receipts do not grant you any immigration benefit currently you are also not in violation of any immigration law. Talk to your husband maybe? Sounds like a weird spot to be in. Consider moving away with your husband?

Knowing the USCIS and how difficult it is to get anything through I'd wait. In my opinion there is no need to create unnecessary issues. Of course, you are free to do as you please.

It won't take it. The system need future expiration date at least one month out from the current date.

Do you know if it is possible to apply for Global Entry while waiting having a pending I-751? It asks for GC expiry date which is obviously in the past. Can one use CG expiry date based on the extension letter? Anyone have any first hand experience on this?

Happy to report that my father obtained his visa without much difficulty. he got it last Friday without an issue.

I sent my Divorce Waiver case (I-751) back in July of 2020. I have been reading some posts about people asking how strong their evidence is and etc. I never asked this myself. Thoughts about the below evidence? 1) Personal Statement of our relationship 2) 2 years of joint lease agreements with pet lease agreement 3) Joint renters' insurance 4) 2 years of joint tax returns 5) 2 years of join bank account statements 6) Joint medical/dental/vision insurances with proof of seeking medical care (dates, billing and etc) 7) 2 years of joint car insurance documents 8 ) Affidavits from friends and colleagues I have not heard anything since 8/2020 when it got updated that fingerprints were re-used.
