They're making sure you don't miss it!

Your current legal name appears to be Janice DOE. You should update all documents other than Birth Certificate and Marriage Certificate (which cannot be changed) with this legal name. No problem with your current name not matching Marriage Certificate. You're generally allowed to use new name after marrying somebody. List your birth name and other names used in the relevant field of N-400. P.S. This is not a legal advice. Others may correct me.

Time for N-400 or WoM?

You'll be fine, as long as you leave on time and don't use tourist visa to come back again. Just come back on CR-1, hopefully you'll get it soon?

For CR-1, you'll be fine as long as you didn't overstay. For January 2024 visit, you need to be careful. How long ago was your last departure from the US? You got already flagged for long visit. If you come too soon, you may get denied entry. Make sure not to misrepresent yourself, this would become an issue for CR-1.

1. Was this a real divorce? 2. Are you legally divorced? 3. Does the divorce decree follow visa reciprocity table? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Hungary.html "Divorce Certificates Available to the parties concerned and/or their legal representatives.

She can say and should say the truth. If she thinks she's gonna study and then work or both simultaneously, there's nothing wrong with that.

Isn't she coming to reunite with you? I'd think that's the main reason why she's immigranting into the US?

It's not easy, but doable. Here's guide:

Agreed, I think entire test will be repeated most likely

I missed the word "just". Thank you for catching this.

Cannot agree more. As an idea @ACalmCountry , if you call each other often on cell phone, get detailed statements from wireless carrier showing those 30 second calls when you confirm with your spouse whether to buy 2% milk, full fat milk, or dairy free at the supermarket.

Good question. In theory only trips since you became an LPR are relevant for N-400. I'd include them too though, because the question asks about the trips in the last 5 years and not since you became LPR. Another option is to wait to file until you have full 5 years, then you wouldn't have to list them.

I cannot give a legal advice on this, but I'd think if both names are on PO box agreement, you can use this as evidence.

I guess you cannot use PO box for address since PO Box canno be put as address on the license.

99.9% it won't do anything though. And it costs $535 if I'm not mistaken. I believe only 3 visas were issued in 2019.

Filing fees are under $500. If filed with a lawyer then yes, $5000 is average

I doubt interviewer is going to bend the rules. If police certificate is needed, it's needed.

You're right, somehow no login option is no longer available. Account is now required. That's silly...

Yes you can include paper version in the packet. When did you try changing your address online? I changed mine in late August 2023. I could do it without online account and got instant confirmation after submitting it.

Did the immigrant ever have any vaccinations in their life? If yes, it would be challenging. Waiver is possible, I don't believe you can get it before you're asked for it. Also, make sure you're aware the waiver may take some time

Sandly there are very rare instances of airlines that denied boarding for LPR with GC and extension letter. VJ has mentions of it. Read all reports here https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/632906-traveling-on-extension-letter/page/75/#comments

Interesting, could you please elaborate? Did this work for online check in? I was always worried putting expiration date as +4 years. Did your husband have to show GC and extension letter to airline staff? Were they OK with discrepancy between expiration date on GC and what was entered online for expiration date?

Yes. Read more here: TL;DR airline won't know your 10 year GC was approved. As long as you have expired GC and valid extension letter, you're fine. CBP will admit you because you're LPR.
