Try to walk in and do biometrics late. Just apologize and explain everything. Before the trip

Hopefully it was I-407, not 1-407. I was under impression one gets paperwork / copy of paperwork they sign when going through this process. It may not be automatic, but one has an option to request it before leaving the facility.

I'd make it a bit shorter and back up with dates, case numbers and other factual info.

Somebody has to officially determine that. Either CBP offers to sign I-407 OR immigration judge.

Failing to file I-751 doesn't typically terminate LPR status. There's examples of filing I-751 years after GC expiry, and getting 10 year GC. Unless I-407 was signed or immigration judge took away somebody's LPR status, they're still LPR, just with expired proof of status document.

USCIS and CBP ask questions even if they have answers to them. They ask questions to confirm the answers and your identity and also to catch you lying / misrepresenting which then becomes an issue.

This is not how it works. If you're LPR, divorce to US citizen doesn't terminate LPR status or invalidate GC.

Child that is not yet born is not required to be listed. If you're including a cover letter mentioning all evidence and reasons why I-751 should be approved, you can throw in a word a two about you expecting a child to be born in this marriage.

You need to use more affirmative language in the letter. While you're asking to reopen, you need to acknowledge all issues, but highlight you have a path to approval. Things like "We believe", "something" indicate you're not sure yourself why the case was denied. Also include explanation how each of these issues will be addressed in I-290B. If you're unsure how to twist this letter, try pasting in ChatGPT and my comment too as a prompt. It would give you some idea.

Make sure your Global Entry profile has Green Card details added.

You can file it tomorrow, though if it's under 60 days since entry to the US, you may be asked whether adjusting was your intent from the start... Not really Ideally yes, because all I-131 and I-765 take time to get approved. Of course each case is unique and can take however much it needs to take. You can check processing times here https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ You can also browse this forum on VJ and check out active monthly thread to see people's reports: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/138-adjustment-of-status-case-filing-and-progress-reports/ Bear in mind, just like with stock market, any previous performance doesn't predict the future 100%. There's also new administration coming which can affect USCIS prioritites.

I'm not aware of any significant changes to rules about support, but others who were around for longer here may chime in.

Go to civil surgeon and get it done?

I don't know if there is a preference, but agency that translated my docs had original and translation in one PDF side by side. It worked.

You filed I-130 online, right? So just write a letter saying correct answer for question 46.A should have been H1B. Upload it in unsolicited evidence for I-130 case.

Congrats and Happy New Year!

Wasn't for my AP, wasn't for many other people's APs. Not sure about Re-entry permit, but I'd imagine it's similar.

Fast approvals were a minority and for spouses of US citizens. Expect things to slow down, including N-400, as elections are over. Realistically, not much will probably happen until second half of 2025.

For Advance Parole even writing "To be determined" was OK. For re-entry permit either write the same or something like "professional trip"

Technically, yes if you have ESTA or visa. CBP has always authority to deny entry for any non-immigrant.

I-94 is irrelevant for green card holders. LPRs don't get I-94, it's only for non-immigrants. Old I-94 may only be needed to ensure you were inspected when entering the US on non-immigrant visa before adjusting. That would have been covered during AOS process (I-485 form).

*sigh* What really matters is what checkbox is checked on DS-3025. Just double check the copy she should have received when she completed medicals overseas. This is the main thing that determines whether she needs I-693 in the US or not.

USCIS will gladly cash checks even if there are issues with the case. RFE for I-864 is very early stage of processing. Just because DOB issue hasn't resurfaced yrt, doesn't mean it won't be flagged and become an issue later in the process.

Is there a visa available (based on priority) for your spouse, as you're not a US citizen? Is your spouse in legal status in the US?

I'd put ref on both, it doesn't hurt. Definitely in the letter body. Yes you can send with USPS to whatever is thr right address. I'd do certified mail. And upload digitally
