US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hi,

I have not listed my ZA nationality since I gained my UK as I found out dual was not allowed (without requesting retention) so during K1 and AOS I did not list it but is my birth country. I was asked at embassy about it, said I lost it when I gained UK.
Since then the law that lead to this was ruled unconstitutional and you now retain or can regain citizenship. While looking into this I discovered I'm 99% sure I never officially lost my ZA citizenship. Of course, if I had tried to obtain a ZA passport, etc., at the time they likely would have revoked it when they found out I had dual. Essentially, I was likely in a grey area at the time but now I almost certainly have ZA citizenship. However, I'm concerned if I add ZA to my ROC it will raise questions about not having it at K1 (and not providing a pcc). I know it's not a large chance but don't want to risk anything either.

Essentially, I am unsure what to put as I am unsure of my nationality status. My ID number for ZA still lists me as a citizen but that's all I have to go on.

I got married in California in June 2024 to my husband who is a US Citizen. On the day of the wedding, I didn't change my last name to my husband's last name as I was about to apply for my marriage green card and I didn't know if having a different last name would complicate the forms when applying. Therefore the section labelled new name on the certificate is blank. I applied for my GC and got it in Nov 2024. It is set to expire in Nov 2026, when I believe I will renew it to the 10-year GC.

I want to change my last name to my husband's last name but worrying about the order to do things as I don't want to impact my GC renewal. I called SSA and they said I can change my name even though I didn't opt to on the day of the wedding. So I have an appointment scheduled with them in early June. Any advice on this process?

Hello,

I sent off two I-130 applications for my mother and father. Has anyone been approved recently? If so, from your experience, how long was your processing time? Just trying to figure out what month they are currently working on.

Thanks!

Can both the petitioner and beneficiary create a log on to the USCIS to track the application?

I want my fiance to see the steps too, but the MFA makes it a little inconvenient especially with working times and time difference of 6 hours. Thanks
