    Most importantly: does your mother want to go this route? Permanent residence should not be taken lightly. Not only she'd be stuck in the US for over a year while adjusting, in the future she should be spending majority of her time in the US. You should also file I-131. None of have a crystal ball to tell whether it's a completely problem free case. It all depends on health, criminal history (if any), US immigration history (if any).

    H1 to L1

    I'm not a lawyer and this is not a legal advice. Yes Practically, no. You can change the employers, but requirements are stricted compared to H1B making it very difficult Yes

    Agree with this. I can't see how one can use Visa A to enter and continue on status B in the US. A proper E2 visa needed for reentry in my opinion too. Essentially, OP should not travel outside of the US unless ready to reapply for visa.
  4. OldUser
    Well, but the change of status already occured. I don't think the visa is valid???

    Divorce decree, all passports, all documents issued by USCIS, all tax return transcripts. Practice answering questions using short precise sentences and "yes/no" where possible.

    It's up to your wife when she decides to file to be exact 😊 You're just a moral support at N-400 stage. I recommend she files herself to avoid any mistakes. She's the only one responsibe for her own naturalization.

    GC is different to EAD. Restriction cannot be removed while on EAD. The EAD card itself is authorization... But once GC is approved, it's a different story. Agree about I-751

    As far as I know this only is possible if beneficiary already lives with the sponsor and employment source is going to continue after becoming LPR. Similarly to using assets, it works half of the time.
  9. OldUser
    Generally no

    They don't care. 1. You could have had a completely new passport with no stamps 2. LPRs do not usually get any stamps after they have GC in hand, when entering or leaving the US 3. Airline is not CBP, they don't have authority to enquire, other than checking valid documents, which you have

    I'm not a lawyer, but my wasn't your F2 visa cancelled after you changed your status to E2? Do you have any stamp or anything like that proving you're on E2 now?

    She can go into administrative processing even without denial. There's no way of knowing, this is purely speculation.
  13. OldUser
    Thank you that's great to know. Do you know how long this has been the case? Can this change any time?
  14. OldUser
    Congressman, lawyers etc do not have power over US consulates / embassies when it comes to decisions. Nobody has a right to come to the US. Only a privilege, unfortunately.
  15. OldUser
    USCIS decide themselves which processing center will be assigned to each case. You have no control over it. How they determine it is not public information. The processing time depend on how many cases are handled at each center, how many people are employed there and how quickly they do their job reviewing cases.

    I think you're asking for trouble. Either you have to be in the US or travel with her and enter first.

    I'm not aware of thought crime penalties being enforced in this country. And there is no crime in changing or keeping name as is for whatever reason. However, if false information is provided to a SSA official, it may fall under https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/ssact/title11/1107.htm I have nothing else to add, and would leave this link for a lawyer to interpret...

    You should also be careful about answering question whether you violated terms of your visa. I'm not a lawyer, but running ETSY business probably required you to work in some capacity? This may go against F1 rules.

    I don't think @Vickys_Mom ever suggested putting any false names on the form. Nobody is obliged to take spouse's name after marriage. Using maiden name all the way until naturalization or never changing name are perfectly normal and legal choices. While changing names may be annoying after naturalization, millions of Americans go through this every year. When immigration is not involved at that stage, it well may be easier than having mismatched names in multiple countries and USCIS files.

    I hope you get a 10 year GC. Usually what happens though, USCIS puts all the effort to give you a 2 year GC, sometimes weeks before 2 year marriage anniversary.
  21. OldUser
    Somebody just reported getting one:
  22. OldUser
    Are you talking about removing "Valid for work only with DHS authorization"? As far as I know, that's only possible when one gets a GC in hand.
  23. OldUser
    If your partner is coming on F1 visa, usually dependants (spouse and kids under 21) can get F2 visa. Since you aren't married, I don't think you will qualify for it. Furthermore, F2 visa holders are not allowed to work, since F1 visa holder proves they can support themselves and dependants during studies.

    Wait, the question was: What do you mean by that? If it is combining income from two families to sponsor, it doesn't work that way. Each sponsor should make above poverty line (125%)
  25. OldUser
    Each joint sponsor must qualify on their own income, they cannot combine it unless it's a married couple.
