What would be the benefit? F2a category was current for adjustment in Jan 2023 when you filed, was it not?

I would bring to the interview.

I made an edit to my comment. I think you are about half way to a decision.

Use the date on the certificate.

Official USCIS instructions say to enter "N/A". Do not give USCIS the impression that you accidentally forgot to answer a question. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-485instr.pdf Answer all questions fully and accurately. If a question does not apply to you (for example, if you have never been married and the question asks, “Provide the name of your current spouse”), type or print “N/A,” unless otherwise directed. If your answer to a question which requires a numeric response is zero or none (for example, “How many children do you have” or “How many times have you departed the United States”), type or print “None,” unless otherwise directed.

The cost for an I-129F when filed after an I-130 is $0.00. You can file one, but there is no guarantee it will speed up the I-130. The I-130s I have seen lately are processed in about 16-17 months. I'd say you are about half way there.

You would need a new I-864 to reflect an increased household size.

Are you a US citizen?

***Moved to Bringing Family Members of Perm Residents to America*** What is the priority date of each I-130? Their priority dates must be current in order for NVC to schedule an interview.

We did. The officer wanted to see evidence of marital union from date we submitted our I-751 to date of interview......44 months later...LOL

Yes. You need evidence that you are actually living together as a couple. Time to put on your thinking cap. Ask yourself "How can I prove we are living as a couple"? Letter from landlord Personal affidavits from family or friends (normally weak evidence...but you have no choice) ANYTHING showing you both living at the same address Beneficiary documents (insurance, etc) Healthcare proxy statements Wills, trusts, etc. I strongly suggest you start thinking about the evidence you will need for your I-751 in 2 years after you get through this Adjustment of Status interview.

This is not the time to be conservative with evidence. I would send evidence spanning the entire marriage. This what we submitted: Apartment lease with both our names & signatures Joint bank checking acct statements since wife's arrival in June 2017. Deed for new home with both our names Mortgage Lender Letter with both our names. Credit Cards showing both on joint account with same card number. Amazon delivery label showing both names and our current address. Wife's Military Dependent ID card showing me as the sponsor. Tricare Eligibility Letter showing both of us together. Military pay statement showing wife as my benefic. Texas Health Care Directives appointing each other as sole health care proxy(Advanced Directives) Our Texas driver's licenses with same address for both of us 2018 Joint Tax ReturnTax Returns Pictures of us on special occasions here in the US. Car Insurance Cards showing both of us as insured drivers for our car Boarding Passes for Las Vegas Valentine Day Trip 2019 Utility application showing both our names for our current address

The most important evidence is that of time actually spent together. Think quality evidence. Good luck on your journey.

Congratulations!!! It's a shame that some people have to wait more than 3 years for approval. Good luck on your N-400. The journey is almost finished....

Unless you have violated the law, or you are not in a bona fide marriage, your fears are unfounded. First of all, you will receive a 48 month extension letter when you submit an I-751. That will extend the expiration date of your card for 4 years. Secondly, a Green Card expiration date would affect only evidence of your legal status. It does not expire your status, itself, as a legal resident. The media is stirring up a lot of baseless fear mongering right now. I would just ignore it.

Sometimes, that is the case....but not always. However, I always recommend submitting the N-400 as soon as possible. After waiting 40 months for our I-751 to be approved, wife submitted her N-400. Four months later, both the I-751 and N-400 were approved after a combo intervoew.

Getting entry is not the same as proving citizenship. In many cases, the only proof of citizenship are either a US Passport or a Naturalization Certificate.

1. Married couples living in different parts of the world are not expected to have a lot of combined finances. The best evidence is that of time actually spent together. 2. If you are paying Paypal fees, you are doing it wrong. There is a friends and family method which results in no fees....other than maybe foreign exchange fees.

Your extension letter is valid for 48 months total. My wife and I waited 44 months for our I-751 approval

What new rules? There are none. How many Green Card holders have been refused entry? I know of none.

Proof of citizenship and proof of identity are 2 separate things here.
