    That's true, though I ran some theads from VJ, and ChatGPT gave utterly wrong answers. I guess EMMA agents were even worse.

    Don't ever do it again. Only DL + SSN card

    Print official SSA instructions

    Playing with fire!

    Looks like you're approved!

    If you have an unrestricted social security card (no wording such as "Valid for work only with DHS authorization") you can show it along with valid driver license (or state ID) during I-9 verification.

    I believe the case you're referring to was different. Here we have pending I-751, the lawyer talked about the case where there was no pending I-751 (it was early to file). The answers would be different depending on situation. Where there is no pending petition, there's no need to immediately tell USCIS, that could be told when the time comes to file I-751.

    There's few potential (not guaranteed) benefits to the widrawal approach: 1. Joint I-751 is unlikely going to be mistakenly approved 2. Gives a clean slate to build the case from scratch. OP likely has more evidence of bonafide marriage by now. This also reduces complexity of the case for IO reviewing it (fewer back and forth between them and petitioner etc). 3. It appears that USCIS approves some fresh cases super fast. The fact that OP's case is 1 year old doesn't mean it's going to be reviewed soon. @Crazy Cat's wife waited 44 months. A fresh case may get go through whole cycle much faster than waiting for decision on older case.

    Ignore 2020, nobody uses that anymore. Only 2008 version is relevant.

    This has two problems: 1. Your case can be sitting for another 2 years before approval or RFE 2. Keeping married for immigration benefit is called immigration fraud. It can have severe consequences for you and your spouse. This all depends on your your trust in this relationship. If both of you still have some faith, you can try counselling / couples therapy to save the union. If you have doubts, should just divorce quickly and proceed with divorce waiver I-751.

    You would need to notify USCIS about a change of your marital status (divorced) and convert existing I-751 into divorce waiver. Or file a new I-751 once divorced, at the same time withdrawing old joint petition. It's important for USCIS to know about the divorce. If joint I-751 case is approved without interview, when you're divorced, you can have major problems during N-400.

    Found this from 2016: https://www.***removed***/forum/usa-visitors-visa/155708-entering-us-with-visa-annotation-canadian-pr Not sure how accurate the answer is and what's the basis.

    So why don't your friend let her do the legwork and deal with it as it comes? I think this thread is no longer a discussion about immigration. It turned into conversation about life situation.
  15. OldUser
    I believe the OP says the lady has a valid tourist visa. So I assume she was visiting the US.
  16. OldUser
    If he's not listed on child's birth certificate, that becomes even a bigger hurdle for the lady to claim the kid is a US citizen.

    There's no obligation for father to go through CRBA. It's a question of ethics whether he would want to do it or not. The USC friend needs to realize that by filing CRBA the mother gets avenue to come to the US once the child turns 21 and can sponsor her. Otherwise the mother can pound the sand.
  18. OldUser
    Can you elaborate on this? Usually there's two parents on birth certificate in most countries. What did she list for "father" / "parent 2" or whatever it may have been called?
  19. OldUser
    Agreed with you, this seems like an act of desperation. She likely just wants to force OP's friend to sell the house and split the proceeds, but doesn't have any legal grounds for that.
  20. OldUser
    Assuming the birth was given in Colombia, CRBA will need to be filed, correct. And US citizen needs to cooperate for this to happen. I doubt it's possible without active participation from your friend. Does the birth certificate list the friend as a father? She cannot just "take his house", since they were never married.
  21. OldUser
    Then I think "No" is the right answer for them.
  22. OldUser
    If your kids are US Citizens, you should check No box for question "Is this child applying with you?" Are you 100% sure they're US citizens? Were they born in the US?
  23. OldUser
    Does your social security card have any wording such as "Valid for work only with DHS authorization"? If no wording other that number and your SSN, then you're fine. You can show it to any employer with drivers license to prove your eligibility to work. ADIT (I-551) stamp in passport lets you travel and return to the US.

    Path of least resistance is joint sponsor. If you don't get it right your case may get denied and you'll have to start over.

    Are you sure the transaction didn't get flagged as fradulent and credit card payment got declined? This is a fairly common thing when paying USCIS fees with credit cards.
