From what I have seen, the G-1145 is inconsistent.

Right now, you are inside the US. You can apply for AOS. #2 would apply only if you left the US before filing to adjust status.

ASAP (if you have a marriage certificate). There is no need to wait. There is no 90 day rule.

1. You cannot travel outside the US , by any means, after filing an I-485 until you receive an approved advance parole document (3 to 6+ months). Doing so would abandon the I-485. 2. If you leave the US before filing an I-485, you cannot enter the US via the B2 with the intent to stay and adjust status.

For example, making false statements at POE. Otherwise, you are fine with adjusting status. Here is the appropriate guide:

Unmarried Sons and Daughters of US citizens whose I-130s were filed on Oct 22, 2015 or earlier are just now receiving available visa numbers. Visa Bulletin For October 2024 (state.gov)

Where are you right now? If you are currently inside the US, you can concurrently file an I-130 and an I-485 (as long as you didn't misrepresent yourself at POE). Be aware that you cannot work in any way or leave the US for up to 6 months or more until you have proper authorization. If you are currently outside the US, your US spouse can begin the spousal visa process by filing an I-130.

OK. Thanks. That is exactly how wife's account looked before the N-400 interview letter was posted. I would guess you'll see it posted soon. I had never signed up for any alerts, so I am not sure about any lag time. Time to start preparing for that combo interview!!!! Good luck...

You don't have any metters posted under "Documents" in your USCIS account? That's where I saw my wife's N-400 interview letter first.

I could have added "He started building the Wall"

Great. Good Luck from the east DFW area.

IRS Transcripts are available online. Alternatively, you can use a copy of the 1040 tax return package along with W-2s.

You parents' cases are separate entities. There is no connection between the two. If different USCIS service centers are involved, it makes any comparison even more invalid. On average an I-130 takes about 14 months for approval according to Visa Journey statistics. It looks like you are not far from that average. I would expect approval soon if there were no other issues. Hopefully, you will receive good news soon.

Harris wants full, publicly funded medical care for every illegal who crosses our border. Who is going to pay for that? My question is: When are we going say "Enough is enough"??

"Danger" is having a government with no elected leader in view (right now) or managing the business of the office. "Danger" is having a Vice President who, along with the media, deceived the American people to our faces about the mental condition of the sitting President. "Danger" is having leader who abandons US citizens outside the US (right now). Harris is the real danger to our country.

Why not marry now?

I'm not forgetting anything. The "proof is in the pudding". During Trump, we had LOW inflation, a secure border, LOWER taxes, and no new wars. The world was a more peaceful place. During Biden/Harris, we have run-away inflation, an invasion at out border, a promise to RAISE taxes, and more world turmoil. Which of these policies offends you: Lower taxes? A secure border? Lower inflation/lower cost of living? Trump took a salary of $0 when he was President.......Does that sound like a con man? a scammer? I will cast my vote on sound domestic policy, not some made-up fake news by the media. I will vote POLICY OVER PERSONALITY.

Remind me of what wars Trump got the US involved in while he was President......Remind me of who was President when Russia invaded Ukraine.....What does "win over Europe" mean? Trump was (and will be again) a strong leader for the benefit of the US. Trump has never "sold us out"..... This is what a strong leader does: "Hunt explained how Trump wanted “a conditions-based withdrawal” of U.S. troops from Afghanistan when he and then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo were negotiating with Taliban leaders. During these negotiations, Trump told Taliban leaders that he would kill them “if you harm a hair on a single American,” prompting the translator present with them to appear stunned. “And Trump goes, ‘Tell him. Just tell him what I said!’” Hunt said on The Sage Steele Show. “Reached into his pocket, pulled out a satellite photo of the leader of the Taliban’s home, and handed it to him, got up, and walked out the room.” What Biden and Harris did in the Afghanistan withdrawal is what weak leaders do. Putin knows Harris is weak...and he will exploit it.

Our immigration officer was very interested in seeing our drivers licenses showing same address, bank statements, and a solid paper trail of where we lived from I-751 to interview date. He wanted to see signed copies of the leases at every address.

My wife and I had a combo interview. There will be 2 interviews....first the I-751 interview, then the N-400 interview. What info did you submit with the I-751? During our interview, the immigration officer wanted to see clear evidence that we were still in a bona fide marriage from the time of submitting the I-751 until day of interview. Take updated evidence showing you both live together at the same place, sharing finances, and evidence normally created in a real marriage. I would several bank statements for each year. BOTH OF YOU MUST ATTEND!!!!

My understanding is that the petitioner must enter either before or with the beneficiary for all immigrant visas. Entry on an Immigrant Visa - U.S. Embassy & Consulates in the United Kingdom (usembassy.gov) "You may not enter the United States to take up residence ahead of the U.S. Citizen petitioner."
