Hello,

I am submitting an i-130 for my parents. I forgot to mention in the application that my mom has used different names in her official documents. I am going to upload an affidavit like a One and same person affidavit but confused on whether it needs to be an affidavit by my mom, by me or should it be a letter from the civil authority from my home country?

I applied for Naturalization 6/5/2025, biometrics reused. Didn't find out about Json until a month after . When I checked json updatedAt showed 7/7 but event code still FTAO which apparently was added 6/21. Milestone_days_remaining was in the 50s. There was another updatedAt on 8/8 but no new event code, a few days later progress tab changed from 9 to 10 months and Milestone_days_remaining went from 40s to 70s and time u til next Milestone went from 2 months to 3 months . Still no interview notice.. I am trying to figure out if the updates especially on 8/8 with the progress change meant anything.

I entered the U.S. on an F-1 visa for grad school and later applied for EB-5. I have a pending I-485 and received my EB-5 EAD combo card two months ago. I applied for an SSN using the EAD and was told it would take 4 weeks because of the SAVE response. The same day, the SAVE system website showed my case as returned to agency. so apparently is not pending.

It s now been 8 weeks with no updates. SSA told me to wait another 4 weeks for DHS/USCIS, but they have never requested more info or documents. Researching on forums I noticed that my I-94 lists only my first name and last name, but my passport and EAD are assocaited with my first name plus two middle names could this mismatch be the cause?

I ve never used my EAD for work or travel, so my I-94 still shows F-1 status. I urgently need my SSN to renew my driver s license (expiring soon), and my I-20 will expire in about 2 months.

Questions:

1. Which agency should I contact to move this forward?

2. Could the name mismatch be blocking my SSN?

3. Would a lawyer needed to help resolve this faster?

Hello! I m an American citizen, and my boyfriend, who is Canadian, are planning to get married in March 2026. We re feeling a bit overwhelmed about the steps we need to take following our marriage, particularly concerning his immigration status. We want to understand the necessary processes for him to obtain a green card, eventually apply for citizenship, and explore the option for dual citizenship in the future. I ve been researching this on my own, but I m finding it quite confusing. Since we re not going through the K-1 visa process and will be marrying in the U.S., I would greatly appreciate any guidance on what steps we need to follow after the wedding. Thank you!
