    Felony of course. You must mention any criminal charges. Consulate will likely know about it anyways. Not mentioning is a bad idea, it's immigration fraud.

    Close to 0. Probably as much as a chance of me winning $1M in a lottery... Forget about visiting the US. Let it go and live life.

    Children are not needed at the interview. Often, it's actually problematic to have children with you there. If chilren are small, you may de facto have a stokes interview, with spouse staying with children outside officer's room and then switching. Having no children there is a plus. If they were born in this marriage, I'd recommend taking their birth certificates just in case. The reason I asked whether they were citizens is because in certain circumstances they'd become US citizens when your wife naturalizes. It's irrelevant in your case.
  4. OldUser
    No, not for wife's I-751 / N-400. However, what status do the children have in the US? Are they US citizens?

    Not normal, I'd treat it as a combo interview. I'd bring I-751 approval letter and 10 year GC to the interview. I'd make sure both spouses show up to the interview and be ready to prove bonafide marriage. When filing N-400, I'd imagine scan of her 2 year conditional card was uploaded. Officer probably got confused and didn't realize she already has 10 year GC.

    Here's fresh example why I don't recommend using foreign address: It was for I-131. User got approved in November 2024, but to this day donesn't have any idea where the approved document is or tracking for it.

    And USPS Informed Delivery

    This is one of the best ways to start a thread I've seen. So informative and useful. Good luck!

    That's an interesting thought

    That increases risk of getting denied boarding. You're more protected when you step your foot on US soil and go through border control there. If I was you, I'd try to fly via a different route through airport with no preclearance. Those preclearance folks have too much discretion and too little accountability.
  11. OldUser
    If you don't go through US preclearance at foreign airport, I don't see how airline can deny boarding the plane if you have a valid GC. Years

    This is what I heard from my lawyer who handled I-485 and I-751. That they cannot necessarily do much to help interacting with CBP. CBP won't talk to them. I heard this from a different lawyer too.
  13. OldUser
    No Not by law Yes, but I wouldn't recommend initiating this. Try to enter the US as normal. Do not mention I-407 or NTA. Bring all paperwork showing ties to the US. If CBP proposes to sign I-407, you can decline and see IJ (NTA). There's a big chance you will be allowed in without too much hussle, maybe after secondary. Make sure to stay in the US and not to take long trips outside the US to maintain the residence.

    That's why saying treat it as new relationship. Don't rush into filing the case. See each other few times. Build evidence of marriage.

    USCIS site broken as always...
  16. OldUser
    If you're planning to naturalize, you can update name for free as part of your N-400.
  17. OldUser
    Sure. Do you have I-751 to file or pending?
  18. OldUser
    Same story then as for I-134.
  19. OldUser
    She has to amend her prior taxes too. As a sponsor, she'll may be required to show her prior year taxes. Single will hurt your case.
  20. OldUser
    So CR-1 doesn't apply to you. You'd be using IR-1 visa in this case. It's a bit unusual you remained married even though you pretty much left relationship and left the US. Did she file taxes as a married person all this time or incorrectly selecting "single"?
  21. OldUser
    @EatBulaga assumed since it's posted in K-1 Visa procedures forum. What is it for?
  22. OldUser
    It's a complicated case, but it's possible to get approved. Treat it as a new relationship. Don't rush into filing CR-1. See each other few times, make sure you really want to be with each other. After few visits and marrying you, she can file CR-1. P.S. when was the divorce with her finalized?
  23. OldUser
    Everything is not necessary but it makes case a lot weaker if ignored. Mail can be delayed, lost in transit when using foreign location. And you said, not everything can be sent overseas. I gave the best advice that reduces chances of issues and leads to approval. I wouldn't give advice that has 50/50 chance of working. Good luck!
  24. OldUser
    Hopefully, USCIS will actually reschedule it and don't forget about it completely. It happens. You are free to travel if you wish, we're just giving you heads up on what might happen. USCIS is pretty good at quietly messing up cases leading to denials and months of stress.
  25. OldUser
    I wouldn't trust USCIS phone support. Their job is to tell you whatever you want to hear and get you off phone ASAP. Many people get in trouble listening to their advice. They're not held accountable for anything they tell over the phone.
