sorry the location of this post in a K-1 forum confused me. This has nothing to do with your spouse’s immigration status.  
 

Your tickets need to be in the name of the passport.  The owner of the credit card might need to be present at check in and if they owner is you expect difficulties. 
 

I can anticipate a secondary inspection and an admonishment from CBP to correct your passport. 

Yes, thanks for moving it. 

I am going to book the tickets with the name on the passport. I checked the CBP website and they said I shouldn't have a problem when I am re-entering if I provide proof of name change. https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-1209?language=en_US

When we got married, I (male/ US citizen) also made a slight change to my last name since it gave me an option. My American passport has older last name. If I come back to the US, will it be a problem just enter? 

Just now, Mike E said:

In what name are the plane tickets?

I have not booked it yet. 

Hi guys, not sure if this is the right part of the forum to post it to. I am a US citizen that applied for my fiance (now wife) to come to the US. When we got married, I made a slight change to my last name but forgot to renew my passport. We are planning a trip overseas now that my wife got her green card, but was wondering if it's ok to travel with my old name on the passport if I provided proof of name change via marriage certificate? 

Thanks

what documents did they ask for that you did not have on you?

They needed some more proof that we lived together (contract with the person we are renting from) and we also sent them some tax returns.

Congrats.  Did your congressional representative do anything for you?

Yes, she reached out to us and said that they were going to decide on our case shortly. 

I felt like they were the reason that USCIS was pushed to act on it really because the case was approved a few days after. 

My status finally changed to New Card is Being Processed. How long typically till we get the card? 

Just now, Mike E said:

Have you done this yet?

 

You are past 120 days.  Do that next.  

Done that. They still give out the standard answer that we are still within the 28 months that it typically takes. Nothing more. I have also reached out to our representatives office so they can look into it.

Is your case approved?

Not quiet. We had our interview on April 20th. We were sent an RFE which we replied on June 4th. There has been no word since then. The officer said on the interview that our green card should take about 90 days.  

My wife still has not received the green card. Is it normal? Is there something we can do to speed it up? 

Will the status on the USCIS page change from Interview Was Scheduled? It still says that when I enter my number. 

Hi guys,

We had our green card interview on April 20 of this year. The officer needed some extra documents which we submitted them June 8th. We are still waiting for the green card. How long does it typically take? The officer mentioned something about 90 days but not sure if it was when we would get the green card or not.

Hey, I am in the same boat. I spoke to someone today and they advised me that if your local USCIS office has been reopened for the last 90 days you can raise a service request  as you supposed to receive biometrics appointment letter within 90 days. To raise service request clink on this https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDNForm.do?sroPageType=ndn&entryPoint=init and in notice type select "Appointment". Good luck

Thank you! I just submitted that request. Let's wait and see.

Hello,

The last time we heard from USCIS regarding my wifes AOS was on August 22nd. On August 22, 2020, we accepted the fingerprint fee for your Form I-485, etc etc

We also applied for I-765 and nothing till August 10. 

Is this normal? 

Many thanks!

Does what Trump said change anything about those coming with a K1 visa?

I think the Guides have not been updated to reflect the new public charge form I-944 - you should double check everything against instructions on USCIS site.

Thanks. Who has to apply for that? Me or my fiance?

Great, thanks very much! 

Btw, do you know if I send my documents online?

It's OK now.  Makes sense to do it ASAP.

Follow the checklist carefully and accurately.

See the Guides for AOS (link atop any VJ page).

Thanks! Is it under Guides? 

Hello guys,

Hope everyone is safe and sound!

My fiance arrived in the US on October 26th, and we were married on December 8th (within the 90 days). We still haven't applied for the AOS. From what I've been reading, it's still okay to apply now? Do I need to add any additional documents? 

Also, has anyone recently applied and could send over the checklist of what is needed? It would be much appreciated!

Received the email stating that my case is on it's way to the embassy. Does the DHL hack still work? Should I put in EXP 23 JUL 2019A? 

Hi all! After waiting 90 days, NVC got our case from USCIS on July 2nd. I was wondering how long does it typically take for them to forward the case to the embassy? Thanks! 

It took us 90 days for the NVC to get the case. I would recommend asking them when they physically sent the package to NVC after the 6 week mark has passed.

Thanks @Greenbaum. Appreciate the links. And yes have reviewed the PDF as well.

 

Word in the regional forum seems to be that you can schedule without receiving the letter, but we may wait a bit. Just need to complete DS-160 and pay the fee. Because of the mail in Mexico, sometimes the letters never arrive. And you can get a letter at the consulate as you mention, which is necessary to bring to all of the appointments.

 

If it helps anyone, I did receive a letter via email from the NVC when they sent out the packet yesterday which had the DOS case number. And our status has already changed to "ready" in CEAC, even though the physical shipment hasn't even left Boston much less arrived at CDJ.

I seem to be in the same boat as you. NVC received my case from USCIS last Monday, but I still haven't received an email from NVC with the DOS number. Do I need that in order to apply for the DS-160? 

Hi,

If self-employed, should I bring bank statements instead of pay stubs? 

Thanks.

Hello!

Should I include the last 3 federal tax returns or just the last one? The USCIS website states that the last one is enough but I have been reading on this forum that it's good to have the last 3 years worth of tax returns.
