  1. So my wife can pass through US customs in Vancover? So I'm guessing once she passes through customs in Vancover, she doesn't need to do it again once she arrives in Denver? Once she arrives back in the US, she will be out of the country for at least 9-10 months. From the CBP website about being gone from the US, the clearly state do not go over 1 year.
  2. I didn’t fully explain my concerns, and most people just went off on tangents. My wife has no records, but she has been outside the U.S. for more than six months—though less than a year. Every time she re-enters the country, she is sent to an inspection room. It usually lasts less than a minute, but it’s frustrating knowing it happens. I’m just unsure whether officers will be stricter this time since she has been away for several months.
  3. My wife is coming back from her home country. She is a greencard holder. I've been reading a lot of that greencard holders are being detained. Are these stories true? My wife will bring our son (US citizen) with her. I don't want both of them being detained, especially since our son is young.
  4. My wife is currently in her home country, and our son (a U.S. citizen) is with her. My wife is a permanent resident with a U.S. SSN, but she will not be filing U.S. taxes. She has spent more time with our son in 2024. Long story short, I will be filing as Married Filing Separately (MFS), and since I spent less than six months with my son, I cannot claim him as a dependent on my taxes. However, after doing some research, it seems that I may be able to use Form 8332 to claim him. Has anyone had a similar experience? Also, is there a way to submit Form 8332 via e-file?
  5. Does my spouse need my written permission to leave the country to go to South Korea? Will the airline/us immigration ask for a written permission? The will fly from California to Korea. FYI, both my spouse and child are Korean citizens. Also, my child is both a US and Korean citizen.
  6. @Daphne . @Boiler It seems like I need to login to my USCIS account. Silly question, but do I need to login with the account I made when I applied for Form I-130 on the USCIS website? Or do I need to create a new account? Thank you.
  7. Hello, A month after my wife arrived in the US, she got a letter saying that USCIS has received her immigrant visa packet. However, they cannot process her packet or produce her permanent resident card until she pays the USCIS Immigrant fee. The total cost is $220. I've never heard/read about this. I thought we already paid all the fees before she was approved for the visa. Did anyone also had to pay the $220 to get the green card?
  8. I'm unsure whether my wife needs a consent letter to take our son to South Korea. Does she require written consent from me to travel out of the US with our child? Also, my wife and son have both Korean citizens and will use their Korean passports.
  9. @milimelo While I was double checking, I read this in page 2 in the ds3053 "Please Print Legibly Using Black Ink Only. If you make an error, complete a new form. Do not correct." This is a silly question, but does that mean that I have to write everything down by hand written with Black Ink?
  10. @milimelo I'm about to get my DS-3053 notarized. Since I don't have a physical bank in the US, is it possible to get it notarized in UPS? https://www.theupsstore.com/store-services/notary-services
  11. My 6 year old son is in South Korea. His US passport is about to expire. My wife is a Korean national. Is it possible for my son to renew his US passport with me being present in South Korea? Do I need to show up in the US embassy?
