They've deported US citizens in the past... Now is not a time to be without documentation. 😕 @seradnich, as @OldUser asked, did you have a 2-year, or 10-year green card? https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=481099

You submitted all those statements with your affidavit of support, or your spouse brought them only at the interview? If only at the interview, then I understand better the reason behind the 221g. Best of luck.

How and when did you file your affidavit of support? How did you document your assets?

You might want to reach out to them and ask for advice on how to proceed. Reach out to Citizens services, not the visa section.

Are you sure you meet all the requirements? If so, the consulate should not have issued a visa to an American citizen.

I entered the US on a CR1 and I had the exact same experience as @OldUser. They only checked my extension letter the first time I entered (after the expiration date of my card), and I guess updated it to the extension date. No question on later entries.

Could you please file your timeline? https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=473093

Some events/transactions might also be taxable in Canada. The person I consulted has retired. I've heard good things about Serbinski.

Is it about the same divorce you asked about in this thread?

Check with your airline if you’ll pass through border control, many (most?) international travelers in transit do not. I know I have picked flights because of the transit airport configuration (it is much less of a hassle to transit without border control and having to re-check the luggage). If the airline confirms that you will not pass through border control, then you do not need a Direct Airside Transit visa if you have a valid USA permanent residence card. The website listed by @appleblossom will have the answer: https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa

Which year did you immigrate? They also took your biometrics at the embassy/consulate during the interview. Maybe those were not clear enough and that is why you had to redo them after entry.

Unless you have replaced/corrected the marriage certificate and the information does not match the translation anymore, it is still an accurate translation.

When is your husband planning to become a citizen?

They take biometrics at the interview (well, they took mines), I don't think they issue visas without biometrics. Then, the point of biometrics is that they shouldn't change/change minimally so that they can be used to identify someone. For most adults, there's probably very little benefits to redoing them as often as they used to.

I'm not sure what is confusing. They have biometrics on file. They consider those to be valid. No need to do them. .... When I renewed my 10 years card, they reused the ones I had taken over 10 years prior. If it's good enough for them, I'm not going to argue or ask why 🤷‍♀️ (Bonus is that I look all young on my card)

Best of luck. Holidays always delay things a little more (!), since, like in any other workplace, people tend to add a couple of days of personal time to the official days off.

We are close to 15 business days from December 20th with the Holidays here, what about where you are?

A quote from one of my favourite articles of all times, which I could also see as a reply to some posts here on VJ. "The sergeant provides a little “advice” for those who receive a Facebook friend request from an unknown woman: 1. Go to the closest mirror. 2. Look at yourself. 3. Give yourself an honest review and realize that there is no reason in the world that an attractive lady from the Philippines wants to be your friend. 4. Return to the computer and delete the friend request. 5. Continue looking at lawnmowers, motorcycles and jacked up trucks that are for sale in your region of the country. 6. Realize that you just saved yourself from showing the world what no one really needs to see, and a whole lot of cash."

What about husband(s)?

That is the minimum. For some, it is plenty. For most, it is simply not enough to live on. It is not clear if you will continue to live without paying for rent, or if it is a temporary situation, but if rent is $2K/month in your area, then it is not a realistic income long term... Even without rent, just for food and utilities, and all expenses coming with someone arriving in the country (driving lessons, English classes, cellphone service, extra grocery, etc.) it is not a lot, and that is why it is always a good idea to increase your income, if possible. Have you already saved the amounts needed for the adjustment of status, advance parole, and work permit?

It is crazy! In a way, it is a "good" thing she realized early that it had been a real/legal marriage, otherwise she might have realized in 20 years, while married to someone else 😕

A certified copy from the court would work in lieu of the "original". Just be aware that if you submit it after the interview, it is going to add a couple of months to the process (which might, or might not, be a big deal for your family).

Yeah, I would get a certified copy. If you have to send it after the interview, Montreal is known to be incredibly slow to process any document sent later (6-8 weeks usually). See: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/MTL-Montreal.html#pre_interview_checklist "If you were previously married or your petitioner was: All original final divorce or spouse's death certificate(s)."

Is it an official copy from the court, or a photocopy you made?

Rude officers, that can happen at any airport, unfortunately. Usually, they will just be regular workers in an ok mood doing their job. I would pick the most convenient airport for you (location, cost of flight, etc.), then take a deep breath. If New York is your final destination, you will be all set. If you need to take another flight to your final destination, plan a long layover so you have time to deal with the immigration, luggage, and make it to your next flight.
