You'd better check with Fedex first. They may have a policy, restricting from sending passports overseas. Since you've already applied for it, you can't re-apply from outside the U.S. at the consulate.

try a common sense check. If any applicant was given an option to pick the DO they can apply in... What would have happen to the USCIS processing? You send your application to one of the hubs (AZ or TX) and they forward it to the DO assigned to your address.

If you need a legal advice on the straightforward order... well ... then it's not that straightforward...

No chance for immigration. The Federal law does not recognize it. Visiting is the simplest option, but it has nothing to do with the partnership.

Judge approves your name change during the oath ceremony in court. If the ceremony is held once a month, and have 100 seats available, while there are 500 people in the line... You got the idea. On a bright side, you don't have to pay $x00 for the name change, unlike regular citizens.

That would be fair, but ... justice has nothing to do with fairness...

They will pull out her old case when receive the new I-485 application. Nobody can say for sure, because it depends on the interviewing officer AND it's a rare situation.

Guess what will happen if they kick back the new I-485 for any reason (check bounced by a mistake, missing signature, lack of documentary support, etc). Not to mention, when sent via USPS (which they always do), it may come up with a whole bunch additional risks. Again, this is unlikely, but...

I personally wouldn't play such a game with USCIS. It may (highly unlikely though, but still) turn out really bad if she gets caught working illegally while the new I-485 is pending. if she manages to accrue IP, she'd better stay in U.S. untill finally approved, even with an approved AP.

Well, it may be a bit more complicated, if your wife is working. From the moment when her EB3 I-485 gets rejected (along with EAD), she's not eligible to work until she gets another EAD based on her new IR I-485, which can take a month or two. Also she may accrue some illegal presence in the...

same-sex partnership?

I am sure you had told them more than what you shared here. That's why the answers differ. However, if you didn't break your intent to work for the sponsor after you had been granted PR status, you generally should be ok. Again, if you share more details, my answer may change as well. You...

if you were laid off, generally there shouldn't be any issues with USCIS. However, I would strongly recommend to follow your lawyer advice...

of course. It's a government issued photo ID. That's correct. ICE raids in those areas are quite targeted and racial profiled. Yes, you can potentially be approached by ICE agent and asked to confirm your citizenship. The worst case scenario, they will hold you a couple of hours in order to...

Passport card is really helpful for regular commuters to Canada/Mexico. Other than that, it's pretty much useless, unless you have a habit of carrying a second ID just in case. --------- (Passport card) Valid when entering the United States from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda at...

Until you go to the court, 17- yes, 18-no. If you found guilty in the court, then 18 - yes. If innocent or deferred judgement or any other delay - no. The issue is that IO may want to see this violation fully addressed (and paid if applicable) by the court before you get approval.

A visit to the office which actually handles your case might be more helpful, in my view.

It's a safe procedure. Speaking of 5 years. USCIS may rescind the permanent resident status within 5 years, if they find out they made a mistake in adjudicating the file. However, if you wilfully misrepresented the facts on your application in order to gain immigration benefits, this 5 year...

There may be various reasons for the delay, besides their slowness. The most obvious one is your FBI name check is not cleared yet. If you are concerned, try and send them a request online or schedule an infopass. They will tell you what's going on.
