  1. Exactly what is said. The link goes to the USCIS webpage where the OP will find the answer to the question asked .. The alternate documents of the specified document is not available ., it’s up to USCIS to specify if an alternate document is acceptable.
  2. I130 for immediate relatives are not processed according to your residency. Uscis has certain centers focusing on specific application types and are actively managing the load at all centres.
  3. Spouse visa IR/Cr1 do not allow for dependents ( know in immigration terms as a ‘derivative’ ) You will need to file an I130 for him , in order to apply for an IR2 for your stepson. This will establish your relationship to him .. and this must meet certain conditions “.. And will require his birth certificate among other documents.
  4. According to OP Entered Nov 2023. Has not married @Reda 21 you are out of legal /authorized stay. You need to return to your home country
  5. It is SO good to hear from you again… to know that your strength has brought you through such a painful journey ! Go for it !! This process is the easiest for sure !! Stay in touch !
  6. As you stated, your intent was to visit, your circumstances changed. You may be asked a question or two at the AOS interview , but you simply tell the truth. Most people find they can do the AOS without a lawyer. Just read the forms and instructions very very well and take the time to make sure you have everything needed. But if you can submit the AOS before the end of your allowed stay period, that will keep you in authorized stay while your application is processing
  7. There is nothing at this stage hope can do. My husband card came in 6 weeks .. mine took 7 months. Never got anywhere with calling /emailing etc.
  8. GC can come weeks or months ( up to 1 year) after entering. No rhyme or reason. You will be told you are with in normal processing at 90 days so don’t even bother. The receipt number is the IOE number you were given when you the GC fee online . Use your stamped visa as that is your temporary I551 GC, good for everything the plastic GC is good for, and valid for 12 months from every.
  9. Read the guide on this website and also on the USCIS website It’s all there already .. And no typos or weird autocorrect
  10. yes i encounter this every time i fly to aust. Was actually simple as an lpr with GE. But I’ve finally worked a way around both ends of the entry.
  11. Just what OldUser said
  12. The other document option is limited to visa number or GC number. Both for entry into US only
  13. You cant check in on a passport which doesnt automatically give you the right to enter your destination country unless you have the required visa. And being a citizen of the destination country you cannot get a visa. Check in is about matching ID and having documentation that allows you to enter your destination. The US CBP has no formal process for exiting passengers. You will have to check in on the passport that gives you entry into the destination. My flight to Aus from Us is always on my Aust passport otherwise i wont nt able to board. . On the return trip I check in on my US passport but give both US and Aus passports at the exit Border control desk .. smartgate cant be used as the system doesn't link the 2 passports Keep you boarding passes as evidence of the outgoing flight
  14. No they are not checking or “entering” anything. Simply matching ID with name on the boarding pass
  15. She is only eligible to buy into Medicare if she has been an LPR for more than 5 years How long has she been an LPR?
  16. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html This is the very best site. It has country specific information on all areas including military record requirements. You will need to click on the country specific link and scroll down for your country, visa type and information needed. May take some time working through it but it is very useful for both informing and reassuring yourself
  17. Moved to AOS from a student visa as this reflects OP question
  18. You are only eligible for naturalization if , at the time of both your interview and oath, you 1 Remain in a bonafide cohabitating marital relationship to the spouse who petitioned for you AND 2. You have been a lpr for 3 years AND 3 You have completed ROC and are now an unconditional LPR Filed divorce papers wipes out 1. Non yet completed ROC wipes out 3. Without all 3 conditions being met, you cannot use the 3 yr rule Your only path to citizenship is that you MUST complete ROC using a divorce waiver. Then you can apply under the 5 year rule. Please fill out your timeline if you want more help.
  19. Have you already been all the way through the removal of conditions? Do you have a GC with the expiry 10 years from issue .. or are you still waiting for ROC (I751) to be approved ? We really are trying to answer a question without knowing what your timeline / status is. Fill in the timeline otherwise it’s almost impossible to give you clear correct answers. Too many variables.
  20. Yes it is very likely you will be refused. It may slip through but that will be an error and leaves you open to action in the future if the dates are re-examined You should be refused as the divorce may not yet finalised but it is no longer a bonafide marriage because the divorce is in process. Withdraw the N 400 Reapply under the 5 year rule once you are 90 days out from being an lpr for 5 years
  21. Skirting a line that I wouldn’t be getting close to… Is it worth the worry and possible rejection? I would be withdrawing the N400 and refiling under the 5 yr timeframe when that comes round. Safe and easier all round
  22. One of the challenges of the immigration process is managing life in the midst of feeling like life is on hold. It’s not easy to do but the day its all done and you are together, the length of separation will be in the past. Look for ways to deepen your relationship despite the separation.. it can be an amazing time despite the difficulties.
