  1. Exactly, a foreigner only needs work authorization if physically in the US, whether working for US employer in person or any employer remotely while living in the US.
  2. I'd say H-1B is a better pick long term, because you have an option to change employers in the future. L-1 is tied to employer way more. Of course, H-1B has lottery...
  3. Yep. You only have 60 days to find a new employer after losing job with sponsor employer.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. No, not for wife's I-751 / N-400. However, what status do the children have in the US? Are they US citizens?
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. This is one of the best ways to start a thread I've seen. So informative and useful. Good luck!
  11. 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.
  12. 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
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. If you're planning to naturalize, you can update name for free as part of your N-400.
  17. Sure. Do you have I-751 to file or pending?
  18. 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.
  19. 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"?
  20. @EatBulaga assumed since it's posted in K-1 Visa procedures forum. What is it for?
  21. 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?
