  1. Others will have better answer than I do to your questions. However, you might want to would look at the benefits of your husband applying for citizenship earlier (when eligible) rather than later.
  2. That is why I said "in general". I would not be surprised if another wave of reduction in services were to be announced soon.
  3. A few other documents would work, but in OP's situation, passport and receipt should be ok. https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification
  4. I do not want to stress @lacuuna, just make everyone aware to expect more controls than usual. I strongly recommend anyone with a Real ID DL to show that and only show extra documents if asked. More resources for the curious ones: https://miracoalition.org/news/know-your-rights/ https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/immigrants-rights
  5. The airlines are usually not going to ask . However, three times in the last month Border Patrol was checking documents at my gate before boarding. I have seen it in the past, but I don't remember it happening more than twice a year. They have, and they do, control immigration status. Same goes for some roadside check points.
  6. Cost saving measure. Used to be available in most U.S. diplomatic missions in the world. Now down to one per country, in general.
  7. I would upload what you currently have with a short explanation, and your offer to have them transcribed, if necessary. Diploma ABC (this is the US equivalent of XYZ) Last transcript from DEF (this correspond to UVW). Best of luck.
  8. And once they send money, scammers put them on a "suckers list." Source: https://www.app.com/story/money/business/consumer/press-on-your-side/2014/12/12/scamming-scammers/20302003/ You might get a new hobby out of it.
  9. All countries can deny entry to visitors. You shouldn't travel at all if that's too big of a risk for you. Why do you think being denied entry would be that bad? I can see it's no fun, but it has zero impact on the immigrant visa process (unless there was misrepresentation/illegal activities).
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. How and when did you file your affidavit of support? How did you document your assets?
  13. 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.
  14. Are you sure you meet all the requirements? If so, the consulate should not have issued a visa to an American citizen.
  15. 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.
  16. Could you please file your timeline? https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=473093
  17. Some events/transactions might also be taxable in Canada. The person I consulted has retired. I've heard good things about Serbinski.
  18. Is it about the same divorce you asked about in this thread?
  19. 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
  20. 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.
  21. Unless you have replaced/corrected the marriage certificate and the information does not match the translation anymore, it is still an accurate translation.
  22. When is your husband planning to become a citizen?
  23. 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.
  24. 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)
