Yes, this should not be a problem. I strongly recommend that you try to renew your passport while you are in Canada though. Imminent need to travel would justify the expedited service while you are there.

Hi all, I’m still waiting on my i751 to be approved but have my 48 month extension letter. I was wondering if I travel outside of the country back to my home country aka Canada with my passport that has less than 6 months validity am I still allowed to enter back using the extension letter, expired green card, and the passport that has 3 months left on it?

Hello everyone! As promised, here's an update on our case. As mentioned by @pushbrk and @Theersink, local income doesn't matter and it's the income that the sponsor is/will make in the US. So we had to get a joint sponsor in the form of a family member and fill in a new i-864 form with all their details along with copies of tax returns following which we got a DQ message! Although it's been over a month since that message, we're now waiting to hear about our interview date. Thank you so much for all your help!

The government can receive gifts from the public. The Department of Commerce is being listed as the beneficiary. Honestly from a clean-hands perspective it’s less sketchy than EB-5, which is essentially just the government subsidizing commercial real estate developers and directing money to well-connected middle man. It’s wildly unpopular with members of Congress of both parties.

The other option is to see if you can get a representative or senator to work with USCIS to get the EAD expedited. This is an area where a strong constituent services team actually could help get you something. Slightly out of the norm, but a reasonable and sympathetic case. If you have a Republican in Congress, I’d have them make the request over a Democrat based on what I’ve heard. Democrat also works if it’s all you have.

VJ timelines tend to be slower than what is being reported through the API data by 2-3 months. My theory is we get the “trouble cases” so it skews slower. They’re currently processing December 4, 2024, so 13 months exact for around 50% of cases. Whatever is on the USCIS website is the 80th percentile. We were trending towards 11 months before the government shutdown, but October/November really slowed down. Speed looks to be picking back up again since we’re at 13 months exact, which is down two weeks from September.” If the current conditions continue I think people applying today will be in the 11-12 month timeframe we had in 2023 before Biden-era USCIS decided to focus on I-485 from overstays.

Pulling for you. An overlooked bit of satisfaction is finally getting to fill in that last box in one's VJ timeline.

Yup, received my receipt notice already, sure it'll all be fine.

Neither, it's SCOPS. See the 'alert' at the top of the processing times page.

Natural born US Citizens never have an A number, so it is for the Beneficiary.

Thanks.

Thread is moved from the K-1 Process forum to the "AOS from K Visas" Process forum. Congratulations on the visa! No one is going to repeat information that's clearly available. Read the Guides. Honestly, everyone should do this while waiting on the visa. Become an "A" student of the entire process, from beginning through naturalization. Your success throughout this legal-immigration process depends on reading carefully, interpreting questions & requirements literally, and responding completely & accurately.

Getting ready to file N-400 this month (with a pending 751). Asking mostly for curiosity since in our case the difference this makes is ~2 weeks. Our family recently moved between states. PR anniversary is April 20, so technically eligible to file on Jan 20, however because of the move I won't meet the local residency requirement until Feb 3rd (assuming it applies). Except it looks like (per https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-6#:~:text=D. 90-Day Early Filing Provision (INA 334), for people precisely in my position (i.e. Early Filers filing under INA 334), the 3-month residency requirement need only be met by the date of N-400 interview. Has something like this been discussed here? If so, what's the consensus opinion? I guess it doesn't make much of a difference for me personally but I can see this may be relevant for those who move relatively close to their 90-day early filing date and then having to wait a while (vs those who are already past their 5/3-year mark being able to file and then moving).

But why are we getting rfe for it then? Is it because my husband petitioner didn't file tax? I know I have a lawyer but I felt like a lot do stuff I have to catch on the mistake he made. so I am worried about the rfe.

Usually it takes 30 to 90 days. Like Rhema1 said it might has to do with your country of origin since it is one of the ban countries. How was your interview? How would you rate officer's behavior towards you? Did he say anything at the end of your interview?

Mid Jan why?

We just got our k1 visa, now What paperwork does my foreign fiancee need upfront on arrival in order for us to get married here in the USA? And what paperwork do we need to apply for her green card 🤔 Thank you in advance.

Yeah 👍 It's wise to wait for the Canadian passport. Immigrations cases of people's originating from all ban countries are paused indefinitely.

i am aware. i said "we" because it is our case. i received a number starting with A, following 9 letters in the RFA, this is the only time i have ever seen a number starting with A written down anywhere during this process. are you saying i should write down the petitioner's name and N/A on the A-number section or would this be the beneficiary's name and number. the comments on here are confusing me now 😕

thanks for that case on the receipt notice i see below service center. so which option i need to choose form the Field Office or Service Center to check the processing time?

What is the validity of police Clarence in your country. In some county it's 3 months up to 6 months. But can still still order it if needed.
