The spouse can't withdraw the 751. They can only withdraw their signature.

Be very careful with this mindset. You are asking the mother in law to work as a baby sitter, which is not allowed under a B1 B2 visa.

Working without authorization is forgiven when you marry a USC. So you should be good. Especially since you were honest about it when you filled out the form. That being said, and this is strictly a personal opinion as to “what I would do if I were in your shoes”, I would probably try and see if I can get a leave of absence with the employer now that you know that you should have at least an EAD card. But that’s just me being extra cautious.

@mindthegap do you have any input for this person?

Sorry, but that’s not true. A “truly amazing and wonderful man” does not cancel your visa like that, or treats you worse than a doormat. A truly amazing and wonderful man would not only talk to you instead of cancelling your visa, and would actually treat you like you are the most valuable person in their life. Nothing in your post says he’s wonderful. He’s quite the contrary.

I know it sucks, big time. And it hurts. But be "happy" that it happened before you came to the United States, where you have no support system, I assume. At least you don't have to see his face every day. And that's a blessing, even though you do not see it as such now. If you had a daughter in your same situation, what would you tell her? I would be celebrating that the MF is out of her life. It feels raw now, but your pain is not forever. I promise you! Sooner or later you will smile and sigh in relief that, for some reason, God said "no" this time around. Remember, when one door closes, a window opens!

Read this document and show it to your lawyer. You should present new evidence that proves the bonafide of your relationship. Also, prepare a letter stating you wish to convert to an individual filing. And if you are still amicable with your ex, they should write an affidavit stating that, although the marriage ended, the marriage was in good faith and they recommend USCIS to approve your removal of conditions. We really can't tell you what is going to happen. You have a lawyer to whom you are paying. If you file a strong waiver, there should not be any reason for them to deny it. But even if they did, you would still be a permanent resident until they put you in removal proceedings, which can take years.

The problem is, if the TN is terminated and you don't have a 485 on file at least (not necessarily approved, just filed with a receipt number) you would be out of status, which under this administration is not something to be taken lightly. And then you would be in much more trouble than if you borrowed money now and just file. Especially since you now know what was missing the first time.

The problem is not the denial of a tourist visa. The problem is not being truthful in previous visa applications. She might have misrepresented herself.

Your newest passport might very well be the same expired passport you are talking about. You're overthinking it.

The person said "it doesn't matter if they are valid or expired". So you do not need a current, unexpired passport.

Oh yeah. It took them 57 days to send me something.

I emailed them in October 2019. I am still waiting on a reply. BTW, I became a citizen in 2023.

Curious: how did you get your green card? Also, did you naturalize? Your profile says it's pending...

Sorry, but I am just trying to point out your "inconsistencies" (so to speak) before you actually try to attempt it with CBP. Probably you have not dealt with CBP a lot, and you can expect to get asked the same type of questions that I am asking here. If a stranger on the internet that does not have anything to do with CBP sees some inconsistencies, you can bet CBP has seen that movie before, too. I know you have all the intentions to do things the right way. I believe in you. CBP does not have any obligation to do so, and will make a decision based on the answers you give them when attempting to enter. The first thing they try to pick is inconsistencies such as the one you have presented here. CBP will also make those assumptions. You are under no obligation to explain it to me or anyone here, but since the purpose of your trip is to do some research, it has EVERYTHING to do with your questions. Otherwise, if you were not doing this research, this trip would not happen (at least that's my understanding based on how you have presented your facts). Sorry if I hurt you. I am just trying to help. Good luck with everything.

It's the only way to do it, unless you get another visa for your research. Then I would print those "confirmations" out, and take them with you for when you enter the US. You might not have to show them, but if the need arises, then you're better prepared.

But yet when I asked you, you said that you would not have looked in that city if your partner had not lived there, so which is which?

Forget about it! Lying to CBP is a terrible idea. It WILL be discovered, and you might likely face a permanent bar to the US. I am curious to know who in the Embassy told you that you can use your ESTA. Was it just a secretary over the phone? Or was it someone with knowledge on ESTA? And most importantly, did you get this in written? If CBP asked you why you can't interview people in Europe, or even in another city in the US, what would you tell them?

Yeah that's too much coincidence, isn't it. You can't work while you're on ESTA. How do you know that they are going to allow you for such a long time?

I know, right??! I remember doing it and thinking "this is the biggest immigration benefit possible, and yet it sounds so easy!" My interview felt more like a casual conversation!

I am assuming you mean 2024?

Found it!

Yep. Ask me how and why I got my one and only RFE six years ago!!! And that's exactly how I created my VisaJourney account. Let me find the post and paste it here.

Wait, what? Why did she ever say she was working if she was not?

Exactly what transcripts did you provide? Tax return transcripts, or tax account transcripts? Are you 100% sure he did not count you twice? Has he ever sponsored another person before? No, don't make anything "match". Do his paystubs and contract state that in 2024 he is expected to make 120k? Did he provide proof of US citizenship?
