Seems you’re getting the point now. Merry Christmas and I hope things go well with your case.

We never provided photos for anything we have ever submitted We brought some to an interview once. Dude was more interested in matching credit cards and house keys. Unless you have some special issue you’re wasting time on a lawyer. Yours sounds pretty typical. You did all the work anyway, you can put the package together better than they can, I’d suggest tossing the lawyer.

What papers did you submit? I-130?

Go to BOTH and congratulations.

Not unusual for a “rejected” to show up in there followed by “issued”. Don’t panic if it does. You’ll be fine. It means someone’s working on your file

I know it does. If it did not, you would be accruing another day of unlawful presence every day you are on US soil, including today. 180 days will earn you a 3-yr ban, a year will earn you a ban for a decade. You are not currently accruing any more unlawful presence. Once your travel doc /EAD are processed you may work, live, drive, and travel in and out of the US but you are adjusting STATUS from “illegally present” to LPR (you appear to have filed after I94 expired which was a critical error that unfortunately usurped all 5 decades of “following and enforcing the law”) and USCIS / DHS is NOT going to magically change you to any other status until your I485 is approved. Once this happens, that error is forgiven, erased, and will likely never come up again. Your goal of enjoying any further benefits (clearance for certain jobs, turning your home into an armed compound if you wish to be like a good Texan LOL) will unfortunately need to wait. It is not unusual for an applicant to try another DL office, we had to go to two in Texas to get my wife’s first DL and she had a valid K3, EAD, SS card, receipt for pending AOS, but her issue was “less than 6 months on the I94” when Texas required the above docs + “I94 with minimum one year validity” which is exactly what a K3 I94 has, it was just the DMV officer’s “interpretation” that was the problem. Again, I hope your case goes smoothly (however) it might be a good idea to accept things as they are and wait patiently for your application to be processed and approved. Thanks @Chancy

Don’t miss that appointment.

I agree

That re-entry permit has no value for re-entry. OP needs the record to show that he did not intend to abandon residence. I am also pretty sure he can lay out his case and get a boarding foil from any embassy. CO’s do have that authority.

It was issued but was long, long expired. OP’s application is best used as a brick in the wall of “intent” and not a re-entry mechanism.

Dude I’ve never even read about this happening

They process your visa, update your address, collect any documents the embassy gave you to bring, and that’s pretty much it. I waited about a half hour or so while wifey was in “the back room”. Im hearing fewer and fewer embassies are sending “the envelope”, as of 2018 we had to carry one through and hand it in.

Sure in your spouse’s home country. Hopefully it’s somewhere nice and sunny.

You’ll be OK I think. Safe travels.

Nah we had one expired two years before we came home, it was helpful in demonstrating that our 4-year absence was temporary.

Just the act of applying for a travel doc is presumptive that you intended to return. Hopefully you completed biometrics and kept the receipt?

You can upload a new form to NVC or you can bring a new support affidavit to the interview. Either way, you need to update the I864. Household size is material to the outcome of your benefit and cannot be omitted. Congratulations on the new addition to your family.

K3 never did. Years ago immigrant visas took much longer to process than K1 visas, congress created K3 so a spouse could join his/her family on a non-immigrant basis and adjust status in the US. You had to file two petitions: I130 immigrant and I129F non-immigrant, the same petition you file for a fiance. Sometime around 2007-2008 USCIS started linking the two, processing them together, discarding the I139F (K3), and moving the immigrant petition forward through the National Visa Center and out to the embassy for the visa to be processed. It effectively killed K3. Law’s on the books, you can still file both, it’s free to file the second one (I129F), but it will not save time nor can your spouse wait for her visa in the US while it’s processed. Even when it saved time, the spouse still had to wait for petition approval and go through the visa application process in their home country.

Dying since 2007. We were some of the last in late 2007 130/129F approved on the same day and we got a K3 anyway. After that they started discarding the 129F in favor of the CR/IR visas. Bleh

They won’t give an MMR to you even if there is a chance you may be expecting. Dont worry about it.

Oh we’ve had it matched up more than once CC

Same reason we paid for car insurance for (4) years (while I was working in the mideast) for cars we weren’t driving and kept cell phones accounts in the US to show unbroken ties to the US Same reason I enrolled my wife in health insurance in summer of 2007 when the “married” window opened, even though she didnt arrive until the following year. It’s up to you. I sent the list over, do what you wish with it.

Then the answer is no

Dude asked. We been in a lot of interviews. It’s one opinion. Otherwise my point was very clear.

The difference in the way the terms are used is explained above. You can be authorized to work but you will not be eligible for all jobs. Some require security clearance etc or are limited to USC’s
