    If you count the time to receive GC it is similar timeline. If you count time to enter the US, with AOS she's already here so that's a winner in this sense.

    You'll apply for I-130, she'll leave, and once I-130 is approved she can apply for immigrant visa by filing DS-260

    No, AOS is not related to K-1 in this case. K-1 is only for fiance, but you're already married. Plus if adjusting status, you're not getting any visa. Before making this important decision, please consult with your spouse and make sure she understands the implications of not being to easily travel back or not being able to work while waiting for GC. Especially if they have elder parents, kids etc back in Japan. Another important aspect of adjustment is being able to sponsor the immigrant. Please check if your income meets the requirements for I-864, and if not, you need to find a joint sponsor.

    Please post your comparison, it may help OP

    Adjustment of status is not the same as CR-1 / IR-1 visa. The biggest differences: - The cost ( Adjustment of status is much more expensive) - Ability to work and leave the US (adjustment is more restrictive) In both cases, however, filing I-130 is required.

    The stamp is proof of valid entry with inspection. I'd request it regardless of whether physical card arrives or not and keep it safe. You never know if you ever need to prove valid entry...

    Yes, I agree with this. And this may be the reason why you're not called for the interview. If the field office offers same say oath, why'd they call you for two appointments?

    I never said that

    Seems like lawyers and DIYers abused WoM to the point it became way less effective compared to few years ago.

    That's generally true. If you maintain tied to the US (job, lease or mortgage, banking etc) you may be able to convince USCIS you didn't break continuous residency. But best just not to break it to begin with.
  11. OldUser
    Hopefully USCIS won't reject the entire packet. It's possible...

    Are you out of 90 day early window already?
  13. OldUser
    Depends on the state rules and how long ago she paid full price for license, which may be due for renewal at some point.
  14. OldUser
    Not for filing under general rule. But have divorce decree available.
  15. OldUser
    Things sadly regressed since then...

    Question 1 is about how you're gonna naturalize, not how you got your GC. Since you're divorced, you have to go through general provision, which is living in the US as LPR for 5 years.
  17. OldUser
    Those few cases are scary as potential denaturalizations possible in future because people didn't meet the requirements at the time of oath. When IO follows all procedures you cannot be naturalized within 90 day window. But you didn't answer the original question...

    This case sounds complicated. What ties to the US did you maintain while working overseas? How long did you stay overseas without entering the US? Were you given NTA by CBP? It looks like you were considered to have abandoned your LPR and admitted as visitor on ESTA. Based on what I'm reading your chances of getting GC renewed are somewhat small.

    Hey @Family tons of useful information there. Out of curiosity, can the following action backfire? Say, somebody applies, gets denied. If they're not a US citizen, by applying did they make a false claim to US citizenship? Can this affect getting GC in the future?
  20. OldUser
    Congratulations !
  21. OldUser
    Part 1 Question 1 for you is check box A - general provision. Part 5 Question 1 - Divorced I checked the form, it looks like you don't have to provide spouse information besides bringing certified copy of divorce decree to the interview.
  22. OldUser
    No current spouse => nothing to say about current spouse on the form. But you have to list spouse in prior marriages section.
  23. OldUser
    They cannot naturalize within this 90 days window, but they can definitely look into your file, process biometrics, do background search etc etc. Sometimes interviews are too scheduled within 90 days window. So your case is not forgotten.
  24. OldUser
    Did you file within 90 day early filing window? If yes, are you out of this window now? Do you have pending I-751?
  25. OldUser
    Return Transcrips is what you need.
