A visa is for entering the US. You no longer need a visa because you are already here and are a permanent resident. Therefore, the correct choice is number 1. You no longer need a visa, because you adjusted status.

Definitely pick fiance. Otherwise USCIS will expect an I-130

Are you still planning on moving to the US? If not, the right thing to do is to give up the greencard and use ESTA or a visitor visa. Greencards are not for visiting. They're for living in the US

I originally used my greencard extension (I think it was the stamp) when I started my current job. They never questioned my status, but it took them a bit to figure out how to put it in their system correctly. The biggest downside was that I needed to reverify my status when my extension expired. Luckily I had an unrestricted social security card by then.

First, yes, you can adjust but you will not be able to work (even a remote position) until you have an EAD or the greencard. You will also not be able to leave the country until you have an AP or a greencard. Second, I don't think K1 makes much sense if both of you are living in Ireland. If you decide against doing adjustment of status I would suggest getting married and filing CR1.

Am I wrong in saying that the expiration of your Green Card is now 12/24/28?  At least that is what is now in the system....

 

Sukie in NY

That's what I did whenever I had to fill something out

Since she is currently here, you can get married and adjust as long as that was not the initial plan when she came here. However, as you probably know whe will not be able to work for a while

Usually the advice is to send a I90 for USCIS error, and then send the I751 in the 90 days before the 2 year anniversary of the greencard. Hopefully skipping the I90 will work too.

From what you've stated you can file adjustment of status. Read the guides on here for the process. You are correct, overstay is forgiven for spouses of US citizens

Btw - how long did it take for your second I751 to be approved? Did it restart the whole I751 timeline? @Noname93

You can look at my timeline. First roc filed November 2020, denied sometime between October 2021 and January 2022 (uscic doesn't seem to agree with itself there). Second roc filed January 2022, approved July 2024

2) for question 54 they ask you to explain how you met your fiance and in my letter all I said was I stayed for several months in cameroon where I met my spouse and the rest of the letter talks about how I got pregnant and would like my fiance to come to the US. So I didn't explain how we met enough

You definitely should not call them your spouse. That implies that you are already married.

I have also traveled internationally with a denied I-751 and a stamp from the second I-751. I had no issues

 So when should I apply for her citizenship?

She will apply for her own citizenship. You can help her with the paperwork, but she's the one who applies

We had a "courthouse" wedding. (Our state doesn't do weddings at courthouses). It was small wedding with me and my husband, 2 witnesses, an officiant, and a friend taking photos. No one else. We had no problem getting AOS approved (not a K1 case though). We had a big wedding on our one year anniversary, but my greencard was already approved by then.

Thank you everyone for the answers. I think we're going to go ahead and apply. If we get approved before our trip that's great. If not, we'll at least have it for our next trip.

Keep in mind if you are still using your maiden name for your passport and tickets, but  your GC is in your married name, then they will use your married name.  They can't enter 2 names into the system for you. Thererore,  your ticket/passport name won't match and you won't get TSA pre-check  on your boarding pass.  But you can use your GC for the global entry.  

Thanks. I changed my passport to my married name 5 years ago. Interestingly I've had that issue with my middle name missing from my ticket before

Hello,

We (me: LPR, husband: US citizen) are planning on visiting my family over Christmas, and I was reading up on global entry. The official website states that they only recommend it for people who fly abroad 3 to 4 times a year. We're only planning on going abroad once this year, but I'm still thinking about getting it. I know it would be $200 but it would alleviate a lot of stress during travel. Would it be worth it?

So her advice was to try to re-enter the country late February and pretend that I'm about to re-apply for an O1 - which makes me very nervous

No one here is going to advice you to do that because it would be fraud. You clearly have intentions to get married and adjust status. Coming back into the country on a non immigrant visa knowing you are about to apply for adjustment is a big no-no. Unfortunately it looks like your best option is to apply now, include I-131, and hope that at least that part will be approved by the time your trip comes around. And if not, you'll have to cancel or reschedule.

File a G-1145 with your application to get a text when they open your case, or pay with a personal check and check your bank account for when they cash it

And as mentioned above, she needs to be upfront about everything. Answer yes to overstaying, and yes to working illegally. Both will be forgiven.

January 2022- just got approved, no N-400 filed, no RFE, no interview

You need to file AR-11. It can be filed online. You are supposed to file within 7 days of moving, but better now than never. If your sponsor also moved, they need to file I-865, which cannot be filed online.

I guess if you have the money, you could book a flight to Canada or Mexico and have someone you trust physically bring you the card

Male sure you check about getting added to his insurance as soon as you're married. Pregnancy and birth are expensive
