US Immigration from Spain

So, I know this topic has been talked ad nauseam, but I came across the USCIS website that specifically states that I can send a photocopy:

You do not need to obtain a Certified True Copy if the U.S. government asks for a copy of your certificate for official U.S. government business. For example, if the U.S. Department of State requests your Certificate of Naturalization when you apply for a U.S. passport, you may use a normal photocopy that has not been authenticated. You may use a normal photocopy of your certificate for legitimate U.S. government business.

So, is this new? Can I send the application with just the two photocopies? I'd hate to send the original and then it gets lost or something.

Thank you.

Hi everyone, we just got an email today that my husband s interview was scheduled and a letter has been sent out with the date and time. I am wondering about how far out are the interview dates from when you get the notice that it was scheduled? Would it be within the next week or two, or further out? Thanks!

If I m filing form I-131 (travel document) together with Form I-485, Application to Adjust Status, do i need to pay I-131 fees or not? As long as i include I-485 fees receipt?

Hello everyone!
We have almost everything ready to send the K1 visa papers, but there is one question I am not sure about. On the I-129F form, part 1, in the question of other names used.
My fianc has a Korean name which is his birth name and it is the one that appears on all legal documents: birth certificate, passport, credit cards, etc. However, when he moved to the US he started using Justin as it was easier to pronounce.
This name does not appear on any legal document, but everyone knows him by that name. It appears in his emails, social networks and on his business cards. I just call him Justin, never by his original name.
Should we put Justin in the section of other names used, even though it does not appear in any legal document?

Thank you very much!

I have a valid Advance Parole EAD card and I am expecting to be abroad between the i-485 approval and receiving the actual green card. Sadly I have various information that contradicts or in practice makes it impossible.

• There's the risk that the card wouldn't be received in the US in time to ship it to me while abroad.
• Various agents from USCIS have told me that the AP would remain valid until the expiration date.
• CBP has said the approved green card invalidates the AP (therefore contradicting USCIS and showing who has the real authority here).
• USCIS is saying my field office's info pass appointments wouldn't be made in time of my travel, nor are they accepting walk-in due to COVID.
• A lawyer has pointed out it is the green card holder's right to have proof of their status (despite not being able to schedule or walk-in to request a stamp in my passport to prove the 485's approval).

What have you seen, heard or experienced in regards to re-entering the US with an AP card and a recently approved green card, but without the card in-person?
