    As far I could find, there is no time limit on the time retention of immigration related documents. Forever seems like the closest answer to what is known. You can also look up stories of people getting in trouble recently for documents submitted right after the second world war, so 80ish years ago. While that's not forever, that's getting close to a lifetime. Edited to ask: are you curious, or worried, about them keeping the details you submitted in the past?

    Most probably not. Are you the petitioner, or the beneficiary? Do you have an history of arrests, court cases, or criminal convictions? "Which one should I choose because I am being asked for one or the other." - Who is asking you?

    BREAKING!: Yankees center fielder Aaron Judge will be at Times Square this New Years Eve so he can drop the ball.

    If I could not go back, had my green card in hand, and was not in a rush, I would send it back via regular mail (after making a copy of my passport bio page+travel stamps).

    There should have been no custom fees on documents, that is crazy. I have renewed mine while visiting home, I have found that to be the cheapest and most reliable way. This page will tell you which consulate/embassy is covering your state of residence; reach out to them and ask about what they recommend; or inquire about how they can help, if you need your passport sooner than the regular processing times. https://www.international.gc.ca/country-pays/us-eu/index.aspx?lang=eng

    Linked in my message, but here again: https://www.mass.gov/name-changes Here is an article referencing what some couples do: https://www.vogue.com/article/newlywed-couples-combining-last-names-wedding --- Also: https://law.justia.com/codes/massachusetts/2006/gl-pt1-toc/46-1d.html (emphasis mine)

    The process will vary depending on the state. In my state, spouses can pick a new name to share when they get married (so Ms. Smith and Mr. John can become Ms. Zorro and Mr. Zorro, or change for one of their name). Check with your state, then check with your local consulate to see how to update your other documents, if you choose to do so.

    I asked because I've seen it before, and it could explain why they're so interested in your non conviction 🤷‍♀️ Hopefully you get quick answers after replying to their request.

    This is interesting. Would you be able to post the letter with the personal information blacked out? I am sure others would be interested to see how they worded it out.

    I think that she would be able to travel on her current citizenship passport (and green card) until the ceremony. That would be the fastest way to go.

    Not sure if the problem is on my side, but I have been unable to see the Popular Topics recently. Anyone else experienced this/has solutions to offer?
  12. Lemonslice
    Some members met their future spouses while they were still minors, was that your case? Please keep us updated when you hear more about what is happening (RFE or NOID).

    She can always request to get her passport back and return it by courier later. Not a rare occurrence.
  14. Lemonslice
    Look at the machine readable portion of your passport (with the chevrons << >>) for the universal spelling of your name.
  15. Lemonslice
    Sorry you misconstrued my answer. Best of luck.

    Again, no one is getting deported. She files again with more evidence. As for the rest of your rant, that won't fix your wife's current situation, so you might want to reach out to local organizations helping immigrants (https://www.immigrationadvocates.org/legaldirectory/ ), your elected representatives, a friend, or therapist.

    If the notice has two pages, then it is two pages. "Expired Conditional Resident Card, Form I-551 accompanied by Original Form I-797, Notice of Action indicating the card validity is extended" https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2023-Nov/Carrier Information Guide ENGLISH.pdf

    K1 has nothing to do with removal of conditions. ROC has to be done by many immigrants who never had a K1. It is an administrative process, not a court case; no one is found guilty. US citizens are not judged, but immigrants have to remove conditions by providing proper evidence. You said yourself you do not have traditional evidence of your bonafide marriage, so how do you expect them to validate it, without submitting enough evidence? Clerks, officers, or judges, no matter who handles your file, they are not mind readers. Again, just submit everything she has. At worst, she files again (and will have more evidence by then). Best of luck to your wife.

    No one has to accept a copy. See page 10 of 92: "Expired Conditional Resident Card, Form I-551 accompanied by Original Form I-797, Notice of Action indicating the card validity is extended" https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2023-Nov/Carrier Information Guide ENGLISH.pdf

    Someone might be able to confirm, but because the number of diversity visas is limited, requesting a waiver might mean that there is no more visa available by the time the waiver is processed. Something to think about...

    Ignorance is bliss.
  22. Lemonslice
    Thank you. I think @JANETandLYLE is adjustment of status after a K1 (entry was done 15ish years ago), but it is my understanding that it is the same requirements. Am I correct?
  23. Lemonslice
    You really need to read the instructions for the affidavit of support: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-864instr.pdf Do you have an accountant to handle the taxes for your business? Maybe @pushbrk could help you understand better, and you could then submit your adjustment of status, it has been long overdue now.
  24. Lemonslice
    I went back to your history. Have you talked to someone about that persecution complex? Someone will find the exact statistics for you, but 90%+ of removal of conditions are approved. Just keep sending all that you have. No one is trying to get you.
  25. Lemonslice
    Yes, absolutely. You could have been traveling without access to the Internet and not even know the new card is in production. Some people have had trouble by discussing the status update with foreign check-in agents at the airport, since there is no need to confuse them (expired card+letter of extension=valid documents) "B. U.S. RESIDENTS — must provide one of the following: • Permanent Resident Card, Form I-551 • Expired Conditional Resident Card, Form I-551 accompanied by Original Form I-797, Notice of Action indicating the card validity is extended [...]" see page 10/92: https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2023-Nov/Carrier Information Guide ENGLISH.pdf
