But why did he fake the divorce? Couldn't he have done all this and just remarried his original wife? Seems like the divorce being fake was completely unnecessary and a stupid risk.
We went back to the POE and talked to CBP and they said they don't stamp anymore. It's all electronic. I applied for an ADIT stamp and USCIS said no. Then the GC came in the mail so we no longer cared.
You can travel on B1/B2. We did it several times. If you're worried, go through a preclearance airport if possible and bring evidence of ties to your home country (job, housing, proof of funds, etc.)
You can contact the airline and get proof of travel. I was able to get PDFs from several airlines showing we traveled together with seat numbers, origin/destination, dates of travel, etc.
But, in the I-751, there's also a section for the spouse, under "Spouse or Individual's Statement" to say they have requested the services of an attorney. Page 7, Part 8, Item 2.
At NVC stage, which civil documents will be required for the mother of a US citizen who is widowed (father of US citizen passed away) and never remarried? I think we need the US citizen petitioner's birth certificate, the mother beneficiary's birth certificate. Will we also need the parents' marriage certificate, and father's death certificate?
CBP said it was all digital now. Spouse's SSN didn't come so we had to go to the SSA office and SSA had it in their system that it was endorsed digitally. So did the DMV when we got her State ID.
