    In this case, it WAS objectively rude for the IO to say that couples are expected to have children after a certain amount of time. He had no idea if OP is/was capable of having children or if they even wanted to. It's a personal decision to have kids or not and a couple isn't legally less deserving of approval if they don't have kids. If they have kids, great, show their birth certs to the IO. But for an IO to show their prejudice like that is highly unprofessional.

    And where is the statistical evidence for this statement? Ontarkie said in their reply that their IO didn't care about their kid's birth certificate and specifically asked for co-mingling evidence. Not every IO is going to see children as "the evidence that trumps others". Yourself included apparently.

    And where are the statistics that prove that USCIS looks more favorably on couples with children? If that were the case, why was I never asked about children or why I don't want to have children? Why was my process super easy, all the way until naturalization under the 3-year rule? And why were my other friends who went through this exact same process as me who also don't have children were not asked about children either and why was their process so easy then? What about the couples who DO want children but cannot due to severe medical and/or psychological issues?

    As Crazy Cat said, it just sounds like your IO is a (bad word that I can't type out).
  23. mushroomspore
    Umm, not true. Baby-trapping certainly does happen.
  24. mushroomspore
    My ROC was also approved with no interview and we have no children and don't plan to. We were also never asked once throughout the whole process if we had children or were planning to. It's purely due to the individual IO and their bias. Some IO's do think that if a couple has children, it's "stronger evidence". But not every IO operates like that (and they shouldn't because the whole point is to be objective and adjudicate each couple on the basis of their unique circumstances) beause as pointed out, there are many couples who can't have children or don't want to. Not having children does not mean a couple is less in love or is less legitimate or is less bonafide than those do.

    https://www.uscis.gov/forms/uscis-early-filing-calculator Use this to find out the earliest date you can file. 90 days is NOT 3 months exactly. I also suggest filing a day or two AFTER the exact first eligible day, not right ON the first eligible day to avoid any possible glitches of day/times being misread by the system.
  26. mushroomspore
    For N400 under the 3 year rule, the earliest filing date is 90 days minus your 3-year anniversary as a permanent resident.
  27. mushroomspore
    Again, without exact dates and the numbers of days in vs days out of the US, it is hard to advise. Continuous residence and physical presence are technically 2 different things and you need to fulfill both for N400. Link right here for info: https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/continuous-residence-and-physical-presence-requirements-for-naturalization
  28. mushroomspore
    You need to provide exact dates. Vague info doesn't help as citizenship does have specific numbers in terms of days inside and outside the US. You didn't abandon residency if you were let back in by CBP but you may not fulfil thr continuous residency AND physical presence requirements for citizenship.
  29. mushroomspore
    You don't need to prove bonafide marriage under the 5 year rule and there is no effect. Why would it? It says very plainly in the N400 that for the 5 year rule, the main eligibility requirement is that you've been a PR for 5 years. No mention of marriage under that rule.
  30. mushroomspore
    The only timing detail that matters about filing I-130 is that it must be done after you guys marry.

    AOS is not available to you guys because yes, it is fraud to enter the US on a B2 with the preconceived plan of staying in the US to adjust. A B2 is strictly for tourism/visiting. AOS is only available to those who enter on K1 OR to those who enter on non-immigrant visas but their plans genuinely change after entry. Just FYI though, there is no "60 day" rule with AOS. K1 is annoying because you have to do AOS and yes the EAD takes a long time. Best option is CR1. Not sure how long it takes to get the green card but when she enters, she'll have a stamp in her passport that acts exactly the same as a green card. She can visit while the CR1 is processing but every visit is up to the discretion of CBP.
  32. mushroomspore
    Just on the fact that it's important for him to travel means you should definitely go for CR1. K1 plus adjustment is cumbersome, annoying and he will most certainly go insane not being allowed to leave the US. K1 and adjustment of status are also separate processes, meaning separate fees for both, meaning a higher grand total when you add it all up. CR1 is a much more efficient process on the basis that it automatically makes the immigrant a green card holder/permanent resident upon entry with the visa.
  33. mushroomspore
    OP's wife is Canadian. She doesn't need to apply for B1/B2 just to visit. She'd only need one if CBP eventually tells her to get one, which would probably happen due to visiting too much. Adjustment of status is not a viable option for you.
