    That's true. On today's Jim Hacking show I also heard about some unbelievable timeline. Somebody got message "card being produced" a day after filing I-90 !

    If she has approved EAD, she's fine. She probably needs to file US taxes if she's already considered a US tax resident.

    There's no maximum wait as far as I know.

    As far as I know, N600 must be filed inside the US.
  5. OldUser
    They must ask Yes and No questions.

    Well, my understanding is renewal requires processing outside of the US VS extension is done on US soil. I think that's a very important distinction in your case. I based my answers on that assumption.

    I'm not very familiar with O-1 but I suspect what OP actually meant is extension not renewal. From my limited research, O-1 status can be extended without leaving the US. I do not see a problem here. OP can have AOS and O-1 extension going at the same time because of O-1's dual intent. ~ Not a legal advice ~

    0. Do not use word "visa" when talking to anybody about green card (GC), especially when you talk to police, officials or USCIS. You're a permanent resident and do not need a visa to enter US. 1. File a police report 2. File I-90 3. You can get an I-551 stamp in passport by arranging Infopass when you have I-90 receipt 4. No problem naturalizing even if you don't have a physical GC 5. Call all the banks and lock the cards, report them stolen. 6. Do not leave the US until you have a replacement GC or valid I-551 stamp. Or, if you naturalize, without US passport.

    Do it now. No advantage in waiting.

    My datapoint may be old (AOS in 2019-2020) but I put "To be determined" or something like this instead of concrete dates. I got AP + EAD combo. However, I heard nowadays many people never receive AP even if they filed for it. I wonder if it is to do with certain government agencies processing influx of other immigrants through southern border and don't have the capacity to do other types of cases.

    He should be able to request the certificate? Yes, it might be an issue. As part of application, you need to prove citizenship of grandparent.

    - Do you have to leave the US in order to renew it? (I suspect yes) - Do you have a Advance Parole (I-131)? (I suspect no) Verdict: you cannot leave the US without abandoning AOS. If you abandon it, you'll have to refile and pay all the fees again. I'd think you'll be allowed to do it if you're in valid O-1 status at the time. Let's see if anybody has a first hand experience, but it's a very narrow criteria and not a everyday situation, so it may be quiet for a while. Sometimes with immigration you cannot have it all and you have to prioritize, unfortunately.

    Have you filed I-765 and I-131 with I-485? If you believe your marriage is strong, you can just work off EAD based on AOS. Even if you lose status, it will be forgiven. You cannot leave the US without Advance Parole (I-131), because you'd abandon AOS. Unless you have an urgent reason to do, I'd just wait for GC.
  14. OldUser
    What's the AOS based off? Marriage to a US citizen?
  15. OldUser
    That is the super valuable comment.
  16. OldUser
    That's OK. I know some people get overwhelmed by evidence volume, but if you read I-751 instructions, they as for as much evidence as you can submit. I sent a lot, and didn't regret it. Approved without RFE or interview.
  17. OldUser
    Do you have I-751 pending by any chance?
  18. OldUser
    You may need to be first to write? Then her request would become irrelevant, since your case would have been converted to divorce waiver. The bummer is that your divorce only finalizes in May. It's a bit risky, but what can you do? Cannot keep it joint with marriage nearing its end.
  19. OldUser
    You lost / damaged original GC?
  20. OldUser
    1. Stop any direct contact with your ex spouse (you're divorced now, right?) 2. How much evidence did you submit with I-751? 3. Did you accumulate new evidence between I-751 filing and filing for divorce? 4. Can you get affidavits from people who knew you as a couple? It's hard to tell whether it's worth keeping the case. Sometimes it's easier to file a new one based on divorce waiver, with a lot of evidence, including newer than you submitted with joint petition. If the joint petition was weak, it's not worth keeping (my opinion only)
  21. OldUser
    Oh, I see. Somehow missed it
  22. OldUser
    Good point
  23. OldUser
    I suggest either research extensively and DIY or hire a lawyer. Boundless or other similar services can often give incorrect advice. First look: the proof of domicile is very weak, more evidence needs to be developed. Best to have job lined up, rental if possible, driver's license, bank statements, library card etc. US taxes filed of course. Joint sponsor lined up (it may take a while to find one), though it's to do with affidavit of support not domicile.
  24. OldUser
    How soon after? Do you have to marry somebody from overseas? Yes, you can file other I-129F petitions, taking into account Lil bear's comments. Keep in mind, every subsequent one may get more and more scrutiny, as it would look suspicious to USCIS.
  25. OldUser
    H-1B is dual intent visa and MAY be possible. Non-immigrant work visas may be impossible to get with I-130 pending.
