You should be fine. There was a story of a member that submitted an online petition minutes or so after their 90 day window opened per the time zone they were in. Apparently the online system has some glitches relative to time zones and dating that caused issues and the member did not hear about it until the interview. The recommendation is to wait 2-3 days after the window opens to submit just to be safe as even though this member eventually got it straightened out, it was a big headache. You should be fine with a 3-4 day buffer.

You insinuate that you already filed the N400, so it seems you may run afoul of this requirement. Is the new home in the same USCIS district as the home you are selling? In addition, applicants are required to show they have resided for at least three months immediately preceding the filing of Form N-400 in the USCIS district or state where the applicant claims to have residency https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/continuous-residence-and-physical-presence-requirements-for-naturalization

Need Help! Green card for parents
Dashinka replied to shuja97's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
I agree, new I130’s, one for each parent and fees for both. There is no need to do anything with the previous petition. Good Luck! -
That is interesting, I hadn’t seen that new difference and obviously USCIS is trying to drive folks to file online.

My cousins recently completed naturalization through Detroit, filed in late November 2023, oath ceremony with a name change Feb 22, 2024, and Detroit’s posted processing time for the N400 is showing 8 months. There are a lot of stories of N400’s being processed quite quickly as it seems (I have no direct knowledge) that USCIS is prioritizing these petitions.
-
N400 processing is governed by your local office. As to filing online vs paper, I have not seen any definitive data showing one is demonstrably faster than the other. That being said, online filing is more convenient for most folks and also most likely for USCIS, but make sure you do not submit an online petition around the time your filing window opens if filing during a 90 day period. Good Luck!

Apparently the jury did not buy her defense. Jimmy Carter was right, mail-in voting is the worst kind of voting, and it is no wonder that the Democrats fight so hard for it. Easy to cheat especially if the Democrats can get rid of all those pesky ID requirements, hard to get caught, gives a reason for over-extending the count so those doing the counting can decide who should win, just what the elite Democrat needs to stay in power. I know Democrats are lazy, so they cannot be bothered to actually vote in person on a specific day like just about every other country on the planet does.

Here are the requirements. Also, this part was news to me. In 2023, the Refugee Council USA reported that Michigan was ranked 4th with refugees, behind California, Texas, and New York. Eligibility and Immigration Status A beneficiary must have an eligible immigration status as defined by the Office of Refugee Resettlement which includes: Refugees Asylees Special Immigration Visa (SIV) Victims of Human Trafficking Cuban and Haitian entrants Afghan Nationals, and Ukrainian Humanitarian Parolees. Other immigration statuses include individuals who arrived under the Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan and Venezuelan (CHNV) program; individuals who arrived under the Family Reunification Parole Process for El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Colombia, individuals with a pending asylum application, and other immigrant individuals on a case-by-case scenario. https://www.michigan.gov/ogm/services/newcomer-rental-subsidy

Stacked? It is only stacked in the eyes of the leftist MSM activists. Roberts is fairly MoR as is Gorsuch and Coney-Barrett and in some cases Kavanaugh. Sotomayor, KBJ, and Kagan are idealogues and firm leftist votes, and Thomas and Alito tend to be staunch originalists. Seems pretty balanced to me.
-
Seems like a very petulant leftist almost pleading for Sotomayor to take one for the team. It is interesting they are worried about her, and yet are fine with a declining 80 year old in the WH. For the sake of all of us, Sonia Sotomayor needs to retire from the US supreme court https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/apr/01/for-the-sake-of-all-of-us-sonia-sotomayor-needs-to-retire-from-the-us-supreme-court

Interesting case, probably should be pinned just due to the rarity . It would have been interesting to know what caused their I130 delay, but did not impact the K3.

Not relevant since your parent is not currently in the US. Your only option is to file the I130 for regular consular processing that takes around 12-24 months. Your parents previous GC should show up in the history for USCIS, so that should not be an issue and I assume they filed an I407 when they decided to give up the GC. Your parent can use their valid visitor visa to visit (short visits are recommended) during the process at the discretion of CBP (i.e. they should not show up with all their worldly possession and important documents giving CBP reason to believe they plan on staying). You need to get familiar with the terminology. "Sponsor" is the primary sponsor (fills out an I864), "Co-sponsor" is the secondary sponsor when the Sponsor does not meet the financial requirements (they also fill out an I864 separate from the Sponsor's), and "Household Member" which is an adult person living at the same residence as the Sponsor that is willing to add their income to the Sponsor (they fill out an I864A). In your case since you are married, you can use the I864 that you will fill out and your spouse can fill out the I864A to show they are including their income to show sponsorship of an intending alien. Now the I864(s) are not needed until the NVC stage which will be in a year or so. Yes. Good Luck! -

The I130 can be filed anytime for the parent of a USC. If the parent is currently in the U.S. then you can also file the I485 to adjust status. That being said, it is unclear where your parent is now as if not in the U.S. currently, then the I485 is not an option. The primary sponsor would fill out the I864, and if a co-sponsor is needed, then the co-sponsor would fill out a separate I864 except in your case, your spouse (household member) would fill out the I864A. These guides may be helpful. -

Yes if the parent is already in the U.S. No if the parent is not in the U.S. as it is fraud to enter the U.S. on a visitor visa with the preconceived intent to stay and adjust status. Shouldn’t be an issue. USCIS should be able to see the past record(s). Good Luck! -
With an expedited appointment at a passport agency you can get a passport same day or a few days later. When my wife naturalized we also had a trip planned less than two weeks later, we went to the passport agency in Detroit (more convenient for us than your situation), paid for premium processing, and her passport was delivered to our home 3 days later via FedEx.

CR-1 or IR-1/Travel during spouse visa
Dashinka replied to matea's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
There is no 90 day rule.
