The RFE could come as soon as you file I-751. It will give you 87 days to produce a final divorce decree. Given the backlog of I-751s and low priority USCIS gives I-751s, I believe it is probable the RFE will come no sooner than 2 months after you file I-751. Your GC expires March 2024. It is not to your benefit to file I-751 in December. File in February, 2024, 30 days before your GC expires. This: * buys you more time to get your final divorce decree. You might even have it in hand by then. * gives you plenty of time to get get your 48 month extension letter before your GC expires * gives you more opportunity to make any critical international travels. Once you file a divorce waiver I-751, I suggest not leaving the U.S. until I-751 is approved. See my comments in https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/807666-is-this-normal-applied-for-i751-since-jan-2020/page/2/ to understand why

I am convinced you need to hire a lawyer.

* Quarterly stuff for the past 2 years * Annual stuff for the 5 years prior to that. * Stuff for every 5 years beyond that

Does she have any children under age 21?

1. So with your plan A, what address was he going to use for his physical address in the joint I-751? Were the physical address of you and he going to be the same in I-751? 2. Have you moved from where you living prior to the separation?

Depending on the charges and the resolution, you should not file N-400 by yourself. Consult with an immigration attorney.

Not seeing that logic at all. You are delaying the divorce filing 6 months in the apparent hope I-751 will be approved before filing for divorce. That probably will not happen. The result will be a more complex case, since you will have to amend your I-751 from a joint filing to a divorce waiver. Versus starting off with a divorce waiver in the initial I-751. Are you two living at the same physical address?

1. Was there any engagement party? 2. Did you refer to each other as spouses in any evidence that was submitted to USCIS or DoS? 3. Did you live together at any time before the K-1 interview?

Why do you think so? I suggest option 1.

7 years is my current guess

Was she married before she filed K-1? Including a religious wedding.

Did your wife ever apply for visa to the U.S. or any other country before applying for the K-1?

It takes a couple years. Feel free to leave the U.S. because you are not required to wait for it’s approval. But come before 181 days of continuous absence. And then leave the as soon as rhe same day. Repeat as needed. if your spouse has a 319(b) employer you can apply for U.S. citizenship. See

Turns out Red State is alarmist. Unless the sitting POTATO VPOTATO are both unable to serve, there is no chaos, because there is a Speaker Pro Tem, Patrick Henry. Other than more people failing their N-400 tests, life goes on. The GOP should elect someone who is not in Congress to be Speaker, such as Donald Trump. Voting against Trump as speaker would be a litmus test too.

IMHO you are living abroad now. If you were an LPR DHS say so. If you were collecting social security, SSA would say say so. When the embassy evaluates her case, that extended time counts as living together for purposes of bonafide marriage. Where you sleep most of the time matters.

The risk is that after you get the receipt, USCIS denies the case while your are outside the U.S. If you arrive at a port of entry with a denied I-751, you might up in ICE custody. As there are others discounting my caution, I suggest you start with and follow the thread to link to the video that documents the incident. In fairness, I was equally naive about this until I heard about about the case. The power CBP has is extraordinary.

A ruling against civil forfeiture will be as effective as the rulings against gun control.

usps normally does not forward USCIS mail. I have informed delivery too, and have found it to be hit or miss, especially when it comes to USCIS mail. Regardless it is easy to find examples where the beneficiary received no mail regarding the case and then the case was denied. The bigger miss was not recording the case number. Every critical document is on my phone.

Because you are at DQ and because no interview was scheduled, the “contact NVC once a year” rule does not apply. I would do this more often, and consider a writ of mandamus.

Sometimes this is correct and sometimes it is not correct. Examples I am personally familiar with: * Denver has a separate ASC for biometrics and a field office for case interviews * San Jose has biometrics and case interviews at the field office As will the ASC.

IME, make a verbal declaration and there will be neither duty nor impact onto the personal customs exemption. I’ve brought literally tons of stuff that I owned in Canada, clothes, household goods, tool chests, furniture, etc.

“Why is the Speaker typically someone who isn't a conservative firebrand? Because your average conservative firebrand can't get enough votes to win the position. ” Whereas a liberal firebrand always gets enough votes from a Democrat majority to win the position. State Democrats do a better job of drawling congressional district lines than State Republicans.

Each unique address in the U.S. is assigned a primary USCIS field office. So the case will likely be re-assigned to a new field office

Ok, my idea, a long shot, was to create an online account and add the case number to see if extension letter was online. Then if online, use a print out of that to board the flight on the high percentage bet that the airlines do not know about the Lady Liberty watermark. Aren’t you concerned that something might have happened with the case while you have been gone? RFE, interview, denial, or approval. If RFE or interview, then the case has long since been denied. So I do not recommend the Vancouver thing because if the case was denied, she might be taken into ICE custody at the border. You need to get the case number, or file a new I-751 to get a new case number. Personally, if it were me I would fly to U.S. alone to dig up that case number. If denied, then file a new I-751, bring the new extension letter to Japan, fly to JFK or SFO, and hope CBP over looks the previous denial.

Does she have an online USCIS account?
