fast checking brings up this from Maryland Law Library / u must use the 5 year rule as not married to the K1 USC petitioner https://www.peoples-law.org/how-will-divorce-or-separation-affect-my-immigration-status Conditional residents have a 3 year residency requirement to earn U.S. citizenship as opposed to the standard 5 year residency requirement. To receive the shorter residency requirement, you must be able to prove that you were married in good faith to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident for at least 3 years. If you get divorced before then, you will have to wait 5 years to apply for U.S. citizenship. Hacking Law also says the same https://hackinglawpractice.com/what-happens-fiance-leaves-after-marriage-on-k1-visa/ removing Conditions Divorce doesn't affect your permanent residency if you already have the 10-year card. The only catch? For citizenship, you must now wait 5 years instead of the 3 years allowed when applying through a U.S. spouse.

you can submit 1 document or several showing you have researched the Marketplace insurance site/ it does not matter which policy you end up taking / just that you have looked and understand the premium and the deductibles for each one / BTW low monthly premium payments for one mean large yearly deductible and larger premiums mean lower (but still high) yearly deductibles If the USC is able to add u to his health care policy, its much better HR should be able to give the person a statement showing that after marriage in USA, the USC can add the wife (family) to work policy

you could go to Mexico and enter from there or fly in from there Any POE is good for processing the packet

it just means the USC should check his state for health insurance to be able to provide bene with one that he can afford OR show that he can add the bene to work place insurance plan. if the USC provides documents showing the search for a plan is made and income can support the cost, that is embassy needs Best to u both

Did not establish eligibility for the visa category being applied for or overcome the presumption of being an intending immigrant - INA section 214(b) https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/visa-denials.html Basically what we see is embasssy will deny if the person has no income, does not own property to tie the person to the home country. Having family there is not a strong tie as we all have family in our home country and have left also, ties to a USC friend or family here makes stronger ties to remain in the USA. I, myself, have family in Morocco that i support / my wife is there now to find a live- in care giver for mom and new apartment as mom is loosing eyesite and needs ground level or elevator . this being said many of us take care of parents while in the US so being mom's caregiver is not going to "cut the mustard" It actually works against u if u need to be in UK to care for her As far as supervisor review it means a supervisor will check documents and all notes made by the CO making sure the CO has doted all the i's and crossed all the t's / the review will not be to check to overcome the CO decision. it is to confirm the CO decision

Make an appointment at nearest SS office and apply for the card you can fill out the SS 5 from online You can apply online but this means sending all documents (originals) by mail to SS office (BTW I hated sending originals when i applied for my benefits) so taking them into the office, is i believe safer But Social security ended the "Enumeration beyond entry " in March 2025 meaning they no longer automatically issue SS cards with the EAD

I would attend interview since u say income is solid and getting a new interview (later on) is sometimes difficult. If interview is successful , she waits for suspension to be lifted. She shouldn't let the embassy keep her passport at this interview. she can provide it when they do issue the visa later On top of the need ,perhaps, for another medical exam, be prepared to update the I 864, with 2025 tax returns and W2 for the year as after the 15th of April , those will be needed https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/immigrant-visa-processing-updates-for-nationalities-at-high-risk-of-public-benefits-usage.html How long will the suspensions last? The proclamation provides no expiration date. It directs the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Attorney General, Secretary of Homeland Security, and Director for National Intelligence, to report to the President within 180 days, and every 180 days thereafter, whether the suspensions should be continued, terminated, modified, or supplemented.

It makes a difference which country is her banned country/ some are not full ban but require additional security checks So, if she does the medical and is good has finished all documents (this includes the medical) she will be good to go for he 2nd -real -pause interview Many have to do this /even though not a banned country and the AP for additional security checks does take time but when they are done , spouse may need a new medical So u know spouse's country , look up the ban information and decide Remember this ban is under many lawsuits and we don't know when it could lift or when it won't And here we can only give an opinion but i would do the medical as the embassy requires it to continue with the interview phase / otherwise get that over with

never send them original passport It is 6 months from the medical but she is pregnant and if in last 3 months of pregnancy she can not fly on most airlines that would mean flying to manila and doing the CBRA for the new baby and US passport the very very best to you and the family

when filing the I 130 for each parent , you would have put all names u use and have used your maiden name would have been one of these If u did this , no worries

yes, they are able to get copies for their personal info but california law states An "Apostille" or a "Certification" is frequently required by foreign governments before the background check will be accepted. The document you will receive from the California DOJ is NOT the actual Apostille. As such, if you need this additional service, you will need to contact the DOJ at visa-immigration@doj.ca.gov after you receive the DOJ response in the mail. and even though he is the USC, he has to follow immigration requirements for the immigrant's visa in that state i get it that you sent his criminal records with the petition (as stated in your post) but the post above from the the California attorney general states what is accepted by immigration in his state And yes, states can have special rules like some accept cousins to marry and others don't

In California he has to follow the guides for the submission of these record for immigration / visa https://oag.ca.gov/fingerprints/visaimmigration He can request his own records as stated but to be legal for immigration he has to follow the above site for visa purposes the California Department of Justice (DOJ) maintains a centralized system for criminal history records, including arrests and dispositions. These records are confidential, generally retained until the subject turns 100, and restricted to law enforcement or authorized agencies. Individuals can request their own records.

Immigration is giving u the opportunity to add additional evidence of bona fide marriage the case will go no further till you respond to this RFE Since filling for the AOS there must be some things the 2 of you have done to strength your case Joint tax returns opening accounts together adding you to insurance policy writing wills with the other as bene adding your name to utility bills getting postal mail at the same address (in your name) as the USC they have seen what you sent and are saying "its not enough " so don't ignore it

no apology needed It's not just SSA, its every office you contact DR office says "if its an emergency, call 911" if i have an emergency i will go to emergency room or call 911 for an ambulance and then messages go on to say "you can contact us online and give a web address This is every office in my contacts from insurances to drs to cell service , etc this is very poor customer service and is frustrating At my SS office i walked in and signed into a machine as someone had stolen my number and was going to have my pay sent to a different bank (part of the purge in the northeast scandal where SSA was hacked and thousands of numbers had issuesm) If I had not been able to see someone that day, i would have started a riot and probably been taken out / but this was a few years ago and i am sorry SSA has changed and made this difficult for all of us

What is your plan for the Non passport issue?

I wouldn't pull it at this point either What if he changes his mind again? I would let it proceed to NVC stage and if he still thinks to not petition them, do not pay the fees and fill out the forms like crazy cat said , you have a year in NVC stage to complete that part of the process If you do nothing there, it will cancel itself

This is to withdraw the 1st spouse visa as it didn't work out and divorced and are now going to pursue a new I 130 for the new wife? you may go thru long process as it would be the 2nd spouse visa so prepare yourself

Online or in person the banks must follow the Truth in Savings Act providing you with the info u need and should have sent this when u opened account even with your copy of your online application Go to the following site and take a copy to your bank asking for your proofs under the 1030.3 General disclosure Act https://www.consumerfinance.gov/rules-policy/regulations/1030/3/ (a) Form. Depository institutions shall make the disclosures required by §§ 1030.4 through 1030.6 of this part, as applicable, clearly and conspicuously, in writing, and in a form the consumer may keep. The disclosures required by this part may be provided to the consumer in electronic form, subject to compliance with the consumer consent and other applicable provisions of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign Act) (15 U.S.C. 7001 et seq.). The disclosures required by §§ 1030.4(a)(2) and 1030.8 may be provided to the consumer in electronic form without regard to the consumer consent or other provisions of the E-Sign Act in the circumstances set forth in those sections. Disclosures for each account offered by an institution may be presented separately or combined with disclosures for the institution's other accounts, as long as it is clear which disclosures are applicable to the consumer's account.

they are slow to update and always have been i mention about Fes and the north as it is considered high risk from former raids (check news on the issue)

when you opened the account the bank gave u documents (maybe a small folder) that has copy of your application for the account, the date u opened the account, type of account and all the services plus costs and fees /look into your files for this (cross out account number when you send a copy as they only need name and address that's all you probably need from the bank but add copy of bank statement (cross out account number as they do not need that )

not all petitions are easy and many require extra work on top of one officer may work faster (or have more experience) than another and u hit the slow line like A VJ member says "its like a grocery store where one line moves faster) me? i always pick the store's slow line

We see so many who correctly change address and it is not recognized (somehow doesn't register with proper desk or officer or computer) i would fly back and take the oath as scheduled Immigration is slow to reschedule it -especially from one office to another there was a past post as the OP was scheduled of for oath in a neighboring state you should probably call the local office and inquire /make sure the person u talk to is not just a receptionist but immigration officer however, USCIS says this 5. Residence in Multiple States If an alien claims residence in more than one state, the residence for purposes of naturalization will be determined by the location from which the alien’s annual federal income tax returns have been and are being filed.[10] and they frown on this being cancelled more than once https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-6

the letter should tell you how to correct the mistake/ just follow instructions
