US Immigration from Brazil

Hello, I am the US citizen petitioner marrying a Brazilian. I wanted to ask about the income requirements I might need to meet during the time frame after our marriage is completed. When we file for Adjustment of Status & EAD, will I still be required to have income earnings? I ask because I'm an Engineering student, working at a restaurant right now and only taking 2 classes per semester so I can meet the requirements for the i134. This is delaying my graduation date significantly. It would be a big advantage to us if I could resign my job as soon as we are married so I can take full time classes and accelerate my Bachelor's Degree, this way I can get a good job and we will be on our way to own a house. I could easily take a student loan & burn through my savings account during that timeframe so we will remain stable, housed, and well fed.

Can anyone comment on whether or not I need to make a certain amount of money per year during the AOS & EAD processes?

I want to file the n400 online but as soon I as click the form there is a requirements list before you begin that only mention stuff about the 5-year rule. No mention of 3 years rule (which is the one I'm going to file under). Is it still ok for me to file online still?
Also is this list of documents ok?

LPR Card (Green Card): A copy of your Permanent Resident Card (also known as a Green Card) (both sides)
Continuous Residence and physical presence documentation for the last 3 years:
1. Rent or mortgage statements,
2. Bank, credit card, or loan statements showing regular transactions; (Do I have to upload all of the statements for 3 years?)
3. Proof of car registration and insurance.
4. Your passport showing entry and exit stamps; (Do I have to upload all pages even the blank ones?)
A copy of your marriage certificate.
Evidence of U.S. citizenship for spouse for the last 3 years, generally a copy of your spouse s:
1. U.S. birth certificate.
Evidence of Commingling of Finances
1. Statement of Joint Bank Account
2. IRS tax transcripts
3. Copy of Joint utility bills - electricity
4. Copy of joint health insurance
5. Copy of joint auto insurance
6. Copy of life insurance beneficiary
Photographs (Is it necessary for n400? I didn't read anything about it on the official list of documents)

Am I missing anything? And about a letter requesting the combo interview with my pending I-751. Do I send it with the documents for the n400 or do I file it first and send it later?

Hi everybody!

My NOA1 is from May 25. When we sent our packet, we included the certified court records. On January 3rd, my fianc received the biometrics appointment notice, and about one week after he completed biometrics, we received an RFE. In the RFE, USCIS acknowledged that we submitted the court records for his charge. However, they stated that we did not submit the police records, nor a statement detailing the events that led to the arrest.

The RFE specifically states:

Please submit certified copies of all police arrest records, showing the charges and dispositions for every offense. The documents must provide information explaining the circumstances, places, dates, and outcomes for each incident of arrest, citation, charge, indictment, conviction, fine, or imprisonment. This is required even if your records were sealed, expunged, or otherwise cleared and regardless of whether anyone, including a judge, law enforcement officer, or attorney, told you that you no longer have a criminal record.

In addition to evidence establishing the court documents are not available, submit a notarized statement detailing the events that led to the arrest, the arresting agency, what charges were filed by the arresting agency, the final disposition (guilty, not guilty, etc.) of all of the charges with a list of the charges, the location of the court and any punishments.

We are having difficulty obtaining the arrest record. My fianc went to the Sheriff s Office and the Police Department, and they informed him that they do not provide this document. One employee was not even familiar with what this document was. Would submitting only a notarized statement along with the FBI Identity History Summary (rap sheet) be sufficient? If anyone has gone through a similar situation, we would truly appreciate any information or guidance you can share.

Part 10. Request for a Fee Reduction
My household income is less than or equal to 400% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (see Instructions for required documentation).
Yes (complete Item Numbers 2. -5.b.)
No (skip to Part 11.)

Our income is less than 400% but I just want to pay full price to avoid headaches. If I say no though, I'd be lying and that's a huge no-no. What do I do? Is it ok if I skip this question completely?

Brazil is one of the new additions to the PAUSE list of countries. I understand that, at the moment, this only applies to consular and embassy visa processing, but we all know it s likely just a matter of time before USCIS starts doing the same.

I was planning to file my N-400 after filing my 2025 taxes, probably around March. Now, though, I m hesitant to file it because I ve read that USCIS issues a new extension letter for the N-400, and that it s shorter than the current 48-month extension from the I-751.

I have a gut feeling that I should just wait and hope the I-751 process is completed first, but I m still unsure if that s the right course of action. I'd like to hear your opinions. Thank you.
