US Immigration from Philippines

My husband worked on a 3 yr OPT and he paid FICA taxes. Do these years of paid taxes count towards the 10 year requirement (i-864) or does the clock reset after he gets his new work permit and/or GC?

I have seen the fee increase for the i-131, i-485, and i-765 forms. My question relates to the AOS process. Does anyone know if after the 2023 USCIS fee changes take effect, will they still allow "free" filing of the i-131 and i-765 forms if filed with the i-485? My wife's children are coming on a K2 visa this Summer and I wanted to prepare financially for the cost of their AOS and it would be nice to know if there will be additional costs of the i-131 and i-765 forms. I reviewed the proposed fee rule document and I didn't see that information in the document.

Hi everyone,

I have a question and I appreciate anyone who could give me enlightenment and resolution to my problem.

I have just applied for my N400. Without further consideration, I answered NO under question 23.

Back story: I was cited for a civil traffic due to speeding. The officer suggested that I go to a traffic school to remove the ticket in my records. So I did. I submitted the ticket and payment to the traffic school and so I have not one single proof with me.

I am very concerned because I just had my biometrics last week. I am very anxious that it will be the reason for my application to get denied. Please enlighten me.

I thought this article was very interesting. It breaks down how long it takes to adjudicate a specific form or filing.

I am trying to figure out if I should go to the route of N600 for my minor kids (derivative) which is kinda expensive or just go get em US passport which is much cheaper.

Thoughts or input anyone?
