    Check out notaries, they can also  marry you, and cannot charge over a certain amount, varies by state.

     

    Indeed. Notaries can only perform marriages in Florida, Maine, Nevada, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Montana. And even then, notaries cannot marry couples who are from another state and can’t leave their state to perform a wedding.

    Case Approved but no card yet...traveling abroad

    Oh good, so we have very similar dates of approval - please keep me updated when (if) you get the Card was Produced status update. I'll do the same.

     

    I got an update last night that the card had been mailed (dated Feb 1st even though it was still Jan 31st, but ... whatever). Haven't yet seen any update that it's with USPS or what the tracking number is, but it should happen soon. I expect it'll arrive early next week. EDIT: I can now see the tracking number in Informed Delivery!

    Ours didn't update to "card mailed" until after 7 days this time around, unlike AOS which was very quick (1 day).  Someone said they have fewer people working at the card production facility, now.  Which would explain it taking longer.

     

    Interesting. This go 'round for me also took longer than AOS did (8 days from "Approved" to "Mailed" vs 3 for AOS).

    My ROC changed to "Card is being produced" on Jan 22nd (last Monday) and "Approved" on Jan 23rd. My status hasn't yet updated with the mailing details, but among those who were approved at the same time, neither has anyone else's (yes, I've been checking). They're probably doing them in batches and I expect to hear something by the end of the week, if AOS was any indication.

     

    As others have said, with your expired GC and the extension letter, you're fine. I know you're excited to get the new card - I am too! - but just chill, it'll happen soon.

    I had to learn how to write cheques moving to the US, in Europe they went pretty much extinct 40 years ago and I never learned how to fill one out... :)

     

    They've been mostly dead (yes, that was a Princess Bride reference) in Canada for roughly 20 years now. Hardly anyone accepts them, and the government sure doesn't take them for passport payments or other official services.

     

    I'm still gobsmacked that I was able to buy my current vehicle here in 'Murica with a personal check!

    This is not to scare you into getting EAD and AP, and honestly there are cases that the GC is approved before you get them, making them a moot point (and more reason continue to be free but I digress).

     

    My EAD/AP took over 9 months to be processed, and finally showed up a week before my green card did. 🙄

     

    Such a waste of effort ... thank goodness I didn't pay extra. If they expect people to fork out $$$ for EAD/AP now, they darn well better guarantee that they'll be processed within a matter of weeks.

    Ontario Marriage Certificate Expediting

    in Canada

    In Colorado an officiant is optional. I believe my daughter (a dual citizen) went that route. Gonna be fun if she ever tries to import hubby to Canada. Luddites (Parliament, not my daughter and son in law).

     

    It's called a self-solemnization. While you don't need an officiant or witnesses, it is still signed by the county clerk and is 100% a legitimate marriage.

     

    Source, please, where this is problematic according to Canadian policy?

    Do you need to propose to your girlfriend before you can file for a K1 Visa?

    We had zero wedding plans in our application and no engagement ring either. No RFEs during any of the processes, no questions asked at K1 the interview, no questions asked at the AOS interview. 

     

    Same. Our "proposal" was "So, you think we should do this? Yeah? OK, let's file the paperwork then."

     

    There was no ring, as I had zero desire for one. Whatever minimal plans we had vanished due to COVID, so our "wedding" was a a Colorado self-solemnization in a darkened DMV office in late March 2020 -- no officiant, no vows, no extraneous silliness, just the county clerk, two signatures, and 3 certified copies of the marriage certificate. Nobody changed their name.

     

    You know how many issues we're had since then? ZERO. Remember, it's not about traditional stuff, it's following the rules and having documented proof and factual evidence.  That's all that matters!

    I 751 interview

    The funny thing about 751 is too many people are going too in depth with the "in love" stuff on their application packets.

     

    The love part is over. You got a conditional green card because they believe you love each other, the 751 is for showing you have a continued life together, if you want to avoid interviews focus on this type of evidence. Leases, Insurance, Utility Bills etc... pictures and affidavits hold very little weight as evidence and would be best left to a minimum unless you really don't have much other evidence to show, which is not good. In fact I know a lot of officers browse straight past these types of evidence given how easily forged they are.

     

    Again, focus on sending the correct evidence guys. You will avoid RFE's and interviews if you do. And we all just want our cases approved as fast as possible :)

     

    Well said. The I-751 interview is the time for facts, not feelings.

    I just got my naturalization interview scheduled in Denver, still no word on the LIN ROC (Pending since July 2021). Did anybody successfully request a combo interview before their N-400 interview date and if so, how did you do it? Not sure it's possible at all, but happy to hear what others have tried.

     

    Edit to add that ROC is stuck on "Case Is Ready To Be Scheduled For An Interview" since February.

    Hello fellow Denverite, looks like Nebraska also updated a whole slew of November 2022 ROCs to "Fingerprints were taken" status as well this evening. Looks like they do these things in batches, apparently ...
