  1. My wife did earlier this year, with her 2 year GC. No issues whatsoever, approved in a couple of days. The hardest thing was getting an interview appointment slot, but once scheduled, it consisted of taking a photo and fingerprinting. No questions.
  2. Thanks for everyone's response. Just wanted to circle back and update the thread that she, in fact, did not have any issues entering the US after her Russia visit. CBP officer was super curious, however, why in the world would someone go there right now.
  3. My point is that this rule seems to indicate there is no intention of improving timelines, quite the contrary, to deliberately extend them. There was at least a decent chance at getting approved within 24 months before with the hope of improvement.
  4. This messes with folks who don’t plan on naturalizing (no dual citizenship rule for example) and who now have to travel with the extension letter for 4 years, which is known to cause stress at check in. Plus the inability to check in online or at a machine, methods which are becoming ubiquitous.
  5. My LPR wife (Lithuanian citizen) needs to go to Russia due a death in the family. She is in the process of obtaining a Russian tourist visa for this purpose. 1. Should she anticipate any issues at CBP on return, due to current strained relations with Russia? 2. she is a conditional GC holder. Will her trip to Russia negatively affect her ROC? Thank you in advance.
  6. Have you thought about staying overnight in your port-of-entry city, giving yourself and the pet a bit of a break (and no stress) , then moving on fresh the next day? Could be done as a completely separate ticket. Could be a road trip if your spouse comes to get you.. Just an idea.
  7. I didn't expect this answer. Wouldn't that create two I-485 applications and therefore two cases for the same thing? Is this ok and allowed?
  8. (Asking for a friend) I am dealing with a situation where my employer is sponsoring AOS from H1B, but the contracted law firm seems really slow and inept. In short, bunch of docs collected by law firm but application hasn't been submitted as of yet. I am losing patience and trust in them. It's been about 2 years since they "started" to work on my case. In the meantime, I got married to a US citizen a few months ago. I've been in the US for 7 years and am a Canadian citizen. Given that I have a choice (if I even do), would you recommend that I continue grinding out the H1B AOS or ditch them and do my own marriage based AOS? Once applications are received, all things being equal, is one type more advantageous than the other in terms of wait times, 2 yr vs 10 yr GC, etc? Thank you in advance.
