    You might want to check in the regional forum for recent experiences https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/96-mexico-latin-south-america/

    Since you've been researching a lot, and that I'm curious, what difference would it make stating "not legally free to marry" versus what they wrote "The information obtained at the consular interview indicates that there is good and sufficient cause for the petition approval to be revoked. POLYGAMOUS MARRIAGE NOT LEGALLY RECOGNIZED UNDER INA" "? Please come back and let us know how things go.

    Second quote from Elon: "How can you establish that the was a legal marriage, the legal means you know it happened and there is evidence that it happened. I can see if there was marriage certificate or some other documents that was submitted during non immigrate visas but a sworn statement on DS 160 and in front of officer alone do not make marriage legal. Legal according to what jurisdiction? " .......... In their letter, there's nothing saying she got married in Rwanda, in which country, or by proxy. If the marriage was valid (in the eyes of USCIS) where it happened, then she's married (I understand she did not, but how will you get evidence of that?). Again, best of luck to you and your family.

    Do not call them, go in person. Your local postmaster will tell you how to address/fix the delivery problems.

    The reciprocity schedule details what is needed, depending on the country and province, if applicable. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html

    For the N-400 evidence, others members will be able to assist you better. I only studied because I think it is important to know those things about my country of residence, I have no plan of becoming a citizen.

    I studied the questions/answers over an evening and tested myself during the following week. I think how "easy" it is will depend on many factors (how many answers do you already know? how rusty are your cramming skills? etc.) I would start by reading the questions and answers, and I think you will be able to gauge how big of a project it is going to be for you. Don't get discouraged by really long answers, you usually only need to know a few of all the listed items (ex. Name two cabinet-level positions).

    After reading the thread again, I am confused by your proposed solution. She already swore twice that she was married, how will swearing once more at the different entity make the US Consulate trust that this is now the truth? Maybe there is something different with those courts, could you please explain it to me? How often has it solved the problem for similar denials in Nigeria?

    About this part: "The Rwandan government has an e-government system that tracks all civil statuses of the population, and this is known to the US Embassy in Rwanda. They can verify documents easily." Please remember that the Rwandan government is only able to track civil statuses when they are aware of it. It might be easy for events happening in Rwanda, but you also need to prove that she did not go to France, to Canada, or to Mongolia, to get married, and that she did not marry another American by proxy... Proving a negative is VERY difficult. Best of chance to you and your family.

    You could also take your wife last name, if it's important for your family to all have the same name.

    Without knowing @TravelingLilly situation it's hard to know. There is the implication that becoming a citizen is for life, or until you renounce it, and the obligation of filing every year stays, even if you are no longer a resident. Best to prepare your questions and consult with a fiscalist. Closest consulate of Italy might even have a list of known professionals in your area. For example, what happens if I get inheritance/income/assets while being a permanent resident/US citizen/Italian citizen, living in the US/in Italy/in a third country? It can get complicated, and costly, to pick the wrong path.

    What extra steps did you take to be able to provide evidence that "I'm not a risk to my beneficiary or any derivative beneficiary"? Also, I am not sure I read the timeline of your story properly, but if the victim of the offence(s? - not clear how many convictions total) was a spouse you previously sponsored, this might add a layer to their reticence. I agree with others, you need to consult with a specialized attorney and see if your plan to live together in the US is realistic.

    Much easier (and a little cheaper) to do in Canada than by mail from the US. If it were me, I would renew it now. Ideally, you drop your application at a Passport Canada center (not Service Canada).

    Please reach out to the International Patient Services at Mayo. https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/international Similar service at the hospital I go to is very knowledgeable/good reference center to prepare the medical documents to support the urgency and severity of the situation, and why care in their hospital is required. I remember your posts Daisy, I hope that your husband will be able to receive prompt care and a donor match.
