Calculating 90 days for N400 (merged)
beloved_dingo replied to mari04's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
No, that does not change the date you can file. You can use the USCIS calculator to double-check the date: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/uscis-early-filing-calculator Make sure you do not file early.- 11 replies

A couple of weeks ago I was hanging out with family, we were just chatting on the patio and having a few beers. I wasn't thinking about sunscreen and the skin where my hair is parted got burnt. Not pleasant at all!

It depends on your circumstances and what financial institutions allow, but I had my husband added as an AU on CapitalOne and added to my bank account within a week of getting married. That way I had the documentation on hand when I sent the AOS packet. We sent our packet approximately 3 weeks after marriage. We had issues obtaining his SSN so some things I could not add him to until he got that, but I had a lot more documentation on hand by the time we had our AOS interview. In our case, the interview was 7 months after we applied.

Evidence of travel is good. You can include plane reservations, hotel/airbnb reservations, and passport stamps in both passports that match dates/locations. I think it's a good idea to reach out to prior landlords to obtain any documentation they can give you, even if it is just a letter. I would definitely ask them to put it on letterhead if they can. Get together photos as well, from different places/times and with different people. If you have any mail addressed to both of you from any of your prior addresses, that would be good too. Or mail sent individually but to the same address. In that vein, if you've received Christmas cards, wedding initiations, or anything of that ilk that includes both of your names, get those together too. Also I was able to add my husband as an authorized user on a couple of my credit cards before he had an ssn. I believe Capital One and Chase allow this. So if you add her, then you can print off proof that she is an AU on your card(s).

As a follow up to this, if your divorce is finalized before the 90 day window opens, you can immediately file with a divorce waiver + copy of the divorce decree. If the divorce is NOT final before the 90 day window, wait until you are eligible to file and include the divorce waiver, then you can provide the divorce decree later once you have it.

I-751 September 2020 Filers
beloved_dingo replied to Kedar's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
Yes, you have been approved and your card will be mailed soon. The next update should have the tracking number. There have been more instances of approvals without an interview lately for those that didn't do AOS. They are trying to work on the backlog. Congrats! -
Do you mean the receipt for paying the fee? Where are you attempting to input this information?

Do I have enough Evidence?
beloved_dingo replied to A110's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
I forgot to address this part of your post. You have a lot of good evidence as it is but if you would like other suggestions/ideas here's a few things you could add: Mail addressed to both of you (we included a few "official" letters that were in both of our names) Copies of joint memberships (gym, Costco, etc) Power of Attorney, Living will, etc. Documentation of any bills in both names (water, power, phone, etc.) Car insurance showing both names/both vehicles Documentation of any loans/debts in both names (like a car loan) -
Do I have enough Evidence?
beloved_dingo replied to A110's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
Cut down on the photos - general advice is to send a selection of photos that cover the 2 year period so around a dozen or so is more than enough. You can include the photo in the hospital if you want, but I'm not sure why it is listed as separate evidence. Affidavits are weak evidence and not worth including imo, since you have plenty of other strong evidence. I personally would also leave out the chat logs and emails, but if you opt to leave it in I'd make sure it's a small, concise collection of correspondence and not a huge 300 page info dump that won't get read. -

Yes, you can. -
RFE Need Affidavit
beloved_dingo replied to useful89's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
Personally, I would resend all evidence of a bona fide marriage that you sent with the original package + new evidence since October 2020. I agree with @Rocio0010 that they are likely looking for newer evidence to show that you are still in a bona fide marriage after all this time. I'd focus on the financial co-mingling and evidence that you have lived and traveled together since 10/2020. -
CR1 visa issue
beloved_dingo replied to jadmac's topic in Effects of Major Family Changes on Immigration Benefits
OP, I am sorry you are dealing with this. Your husband needs to realize that keeping your marriage secret is not sustainable, not fair to you, and puts unneeded pressure/strain on your relationship. Marrying you means you are also his family now. He made that choice, and should accept everything that comes with it. Perhaps his parents will react badly once they know, but the sooner they are aware the sooner you can both work through the issue together instead of forcing you to shoulder this burden. I don't think lying to them/omitting the truth is going to help matters at all. Good luck going forward, and as others have said, you don't need to worry about your immigration status. -
Scammed out of $1500 HELP!!!
beloved_dingo replied to Marshae04's topic in General Immigration-Related Discussion
To clarify, you will not get money back from Zelle but it is possible that you can get money back through your bank that the Zelle account is tied to. Reach out to your bank and see if they are willing to work with you. A friend of mine sent a Zelle payment that ended up being a scam and her bank (Truist) refunded the money about 10 days after she went to the bank to report it. I think she had to fill out a form. Her payment was only $125 so YMMV. -
Scammed out of $1500 HELP!!!
beloved_dingo replied to Marshae04's topic in General Immigration-Related Discussion
I would still suggest making a police report and giving them all the info you have on the person. Having a report made can potentially help with getting your money back from the back if they give you any problems. Some banks can be difficult about money that someone has willingly sent to someone, even if it turned out to be a scam. $1500 is not a small amount of money - enough to be charged a felony. And there's always a chance it actually helps stop this person from scamming someone else. -
Scammed out of $1500 HELP!!!
beloved_dingo replied to Marshae04's topic in General Immigration-Related Discussion
Have you contacted the police? Does this person have your husband's ACTUAL passport? If so, most countries have an option to report a lost/stolen passport. -
Many, many people here on VJ have visited loved ones while on ESTA (fiancés, spouses, relatives, etc.) There's nothing suspicious about visiting the USA and using the Visa Waiver Program as intended (visiting and returning home). Just tell the truth and don't overstay. Bad idea to lie about the relationship with your girlfriend. Keep in mind that it is always up to the CBP officer at POE whether to admit you into the U.S. or not, but for instance my husband visited several times before we were married (as my boyfriend and later as my fiancé) and he never had an issue.
