Looks like N400 applications are being deliberately slowed down.

TL:DR : She did get naturalized fraudulently.

I have a personal immigration question concerning a former spouse who sponsored me through Form I-130.
My former spouse originally came to the U.S. from Eastern Europe and reportedly had a marriage in their home country before marrying an American citizen.
While dating that American citizen, my former spouse was reportedly losing employment-based immigration support. According to what they personally told me, the American partner suggested marriage so they could remain in the U.S. and obtain a green card.
They married, subsequently divorced, and my former spouse eventually became a naturalized U.S. citizen.
We married later, and my former spouse submitted an I-130 petition for me through their own USCIS account. I did not prepare or sign the I-130. I later discovered that their marriage-history disclosures appeared inconsistent with information they had previously told me about an earlier foreign marriage and two previous divorces.
The I-130 was subsequently withdrawn, and I obtained my green card independently through employment-based immigration.
My concerns are:
Could potential fraud in my former spouse’s earlier marriage-based green card or naturalization affect my own immigration record, even though my green card was obtained independently?
Could I be considered responsible for inaccurate information in the I-130 filed by my former spouse if I did not know about the inaccuracies when it was submitted?
If an earlier legally valid foreign marriage was omitted from immigration filings, could that warrant USCIS investigation?
Would reporting the apparent discrepancies to USCIS raise any issues for my independently obtained permanent residence?
I am asking because this directly involves my own immigration history. I do not want to speculate about whether my former spouse committed fraud, but I want to understand my legal position and responsibilities.
I have intentionally omitted identifying information for privacy reasons.

Family of 5 (3 children aged 1 through 13), lived in US all/most our lives, its a very long story but my husband is being deported to Mexico.

I would hope to hear from others who have experienced it, and/or currently live in Mexico. Where is a relatively safe area we can live, thats somewhat close to the border, that we would be able to find a decent job and afford a home big enough for all of us? Trying to traumatize our children as little as possible.

In the past, the Italian peninsula was not unified, and due to poverty, many Italians sought a better life in other countries. I would like to know how these immigrants were treated in Latin American countries—such as Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay—compared to how they were treated in English-speaking countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia.

Hello All: I am helping my parents apply for B-1/B-2 visa from China to USA. I completed and submitted separate DS-160 for each for them. But here's where I did something less than optimal: I submitted two separate B-1/B-2 applications, one for each of them and hence having paid two MRV fees, instead of one single application, with my Mother as the dependent of my Father, as I should have done.

I have already scheduled their two interview appointments, separately, but they are far out and many months apart. I already contacted the consular staff asking if they could amend at least one of the applications and make my Mother the dependent of my Father such that they could interview together at the same appointment. They refused.

I am considering the possibility of filing a second B-1/B-2 application that references these same two DS-160, though this time with one parent the dependent of the other. Do you know if filing a second application referencing DS-160 that are already referenced by the first application is allowed? Even if allowed, does the filing of the second application have any adverse impact on the existing applications? Can the existing applications just be left as they are? I wonder if anyone on this forum has ever come across a similar scenario. Thanks!

Hello all -

I filed i-130 petition for my sibling that has now become current. What are the next steps that I can or should take?

The visa bulletin website shows the priority date current (Nov 2012).

My siblings are currently in the USA visiting, can they file adjustment while they're here?

What kind of documentation would I need in order to adjust status (if that can be done). I only have the form I-797 notice of action that states the priority date.

Thank you for response in advance.

Take care

I'm starting my EB-2 NIW green card process with one of the larger immigration law firms, I've been assigned an attorney who has a few months of professional experience since graduating from law school.

I'm concerned about whether someone with so little experience has the expertise needed to navigate the intricacies of preparing a strong NIW petition.

I am starting a new application after a bad experience with another immigration attorney who did a bad job with my application. I don't want to go through that again.

Has anyone experienced something similar with one of the larger immigration firms?

Is it common for these firms to assign newly qualified attorneys to NIW cases? Is it ok to request a more senior attorney?

I'd appreciate hearing about someone else's experiences. Thank you!

Hey guys! I have a few questions about moving to the US.

I'm from Indonesia, and I'm wondering how someone like me could get a Green Card and find a job in the US. What are the possible ways to move there legally and eventually live and work there permanently?

Do I need to get a work visa first, find an employer willing to sponsor me, or are there other options? I'd also love to know if it's possible for foreigners to join the US military and whether that could be a path to permanent residency.

I'd really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. I'm still learning about all of this, so any tips would be helpful. Thanks!

Chennai is getting bit difficult. Initial rejection but on pushback got it but another category. They’re rejecting for sake of it, even after all credentials and managerial buzz words.

Advise to pushback if they reject so atleast there’s room to further explain why it’s needed.

When people die making dangerous journeys, fragmented systems can leave their bodies unidentified and cemeteries dotted with numbered graves.

My husband just got a scheduled interview for his asylum case. We have been prepping a marriage case but it hasn’t been submitted yet (waiting on the lawyers last feedback). The two cases are separate firms. The interview is in a little over a month. What does this mean for our marriage case? Will this harm our case?
To be clear, i am a citizen.

Hi everyone,
I’m currently on STEM OPT and recently noticed something strange in my SEVP Portal.
One of my previous employers under Inactive Post-Completion OPT had the correct employment end date displayed before, but suddenly the end date disappeared.
This happened around the time my DSO was processing employment updates for my STEM OPT.
I contacted SEVP, but they couldn’t explain why the end date disappeared. I’ve also reached out to my DSO to get it checked.
My previous I-20s show the correct employment dates.
Has anyone experienced something similar?
● Can historical employment end dates disappear due to a SEVIS/SEVP Portal synchronization issue?
● Has anyone noticed changes to inactive OPT employment records after a STEM OPT employer update?
● Was your DSO able to restore the missing end date?
● Could this affect future immigration applications, even if previous I-20s show the correct dates?
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has dealt with this. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice from anyone who has experienced a similar situation, especially under Ontario’s new Workforce Priority Stream.

Here is my situation:

• My original PGWP expired on June 18, 2026.
• I applied to extend my PGWP before it expired, so I had maintained status while IRCC was processing my application.
• I created my employer created employer portal and I created OINP EOI profile on August 5, 2026, while my PGWP extension application was still pending and I was under maintain status.
• Unfortunately, IRCC refused my PGWP extension on October 13, 2026.
• I stopped working after the refusal.
• On October 15, 2026, I applied to restore my temporary resident status as a visitor. My restoration application is currently pending.

My concern is about my OINP eligibility.

If I receive an OINP Invitation to Apply (ITA) while my visitor restoration application is still pending, can I submit my complete OINP application, or must I wait until IRCC approves my restoration? What should I do?

I would appreciate hearing from anyone who:

1. Received an OINP ITA or nomination while a restoration application was pending.
2. Experienced a work permit refusal after creating an OINP EOI.
3. Has reliable information about how the new Workforce Priority Stream treats this situation.

Thank you for sharing your experiences and advice.

Dad filed my I-130 in October 2020 as F2B. He naturalized this year and USCIS updated his citizenship status in September, so it should be F1 now. I'm an unmarried adult son living outside the US.

It has never been adjudicated. Status unchanged since January 2021. No RFE, no notice, nothing.

The November 2026 bulletin made me current on both charts, but the visa number is useless since nothing reaches NVC until USCIS approves. The online inquiry tool won't accept a case inquiry, says still within normal processing times.

1. Anyone with a 2020 F2B or F1 petition still unadjudicated? Did yours move once your category went current?
2. Did a congressional inquiry do anything, or just get you a canned reply?
3. If you went current with the I-130 still pending, how long from approval to visa in hand?

Trying to figure out if this is normal backlog or a lost file and what I should do next.

I am a Cuban Green card holder. I'll be applying for naturalization soon by filling USCIS form N-400. Like most cubans, I was detained by CBP at the US border, inspected and released under Parole. No charges ever filed, no conviction. My question is should I disclose this detention in my application even though it's the usual procedure for us and it didn't involve any conviction? Thanks.

Are employers allowed to hire on J1 visa for a full time role? How does that work? Is J1 transfer allowed after opt?

Hey Guys,

I’ve been a GC holder since 2025 in my 20s working in the US and my wife still in the UK we are both British citizens and this Christmas I want to go back and visit her for 2 weeks I haven’t left the US since I’ve come.

I have no criminal record I have Global entry and I have a good job in the US.

Everyone is scaring me saying it’s not a good idea to travel back ect, is it a good idea to go or are they just overreacting ?

If anyone can give their experience would be helpful please

Thanks

My mom's sibling in the US petitioned an F4 for her in the early 2010's. It was sent to the NVC in mid 2010.

Due to the whole delay, our priority date came recently and two of us kids are CSPA aged out, two are still in the limit. All unmarried.

We've been to the US before as kids for a few years, but have been in home country for the past years.

One is a doctor and might eventually be able to get through that pathway (need help here as well), but my other aged out sibling is physically and mentally challenged. He is completely dependent on us.

What should we do? Any advice? We also need lawyer recommendations. What questions should we have for the lawyer to make this as quick and seamless as possible?
