  1. How long does it take to get the receipt notice? If I submit the documents now, and we plan to fly at the end of December, I'm worried if I don't get my receipt notice in time, we won't be able to fly. If we don't have a receipt notice, will they let her back into the country if her green card hasn't expired yet but will expire soon? We'll fly back around Jan 14th, and the green card expires on Jan 24th.
  2. Thank you everyone for the replies. Just to clarify, because we live in the US and don't have any children petitioning with us, we DO NOT need to submit two passport-style photographs and the form FD-258 fingerprint cards, is that correct? Also, I see that the USCIS suggests affidavits from people who knows us as a form of evidence. I already have joint apartment lease documents, joint bank account statements, insurance information where my spouse is listed as my primary beneficiary, around 30 photos of us together and with family over the past 2 years, even a name change document where she took my last name (and my first name into her middle name, which is part of our culture). Do you guys think the affidavits are truly necessary?
  3. So, do you think it's okay to submit my I-865 now and then file the I-751 with the updated addresses as well?
  4. Thank you. Do I need to submit a separate document to get the 46 month extension letter, similar to the advanced parole application I submitted when I originally submitted her adjustment of status documents?
  5. I did not file the AR11 and I-865. I thought we didn't have to, as I was told it's best to use the original address since I still have access to it (my parents' home). It's been five months since we've moved. I just submitted the request to have the address changed on my online USCIS portfolio. Now, I have to submit I-865. Is this going to be a big problem? Can I still submit I-751 while the above two are submitted and pending?
  6. Additionally, I want to keep the address that USCIS will have on file the very original address she moved to, which is my parents' address. But as proof that the marriage is bona fide, I provided our joint lease document for the apartment we currently live in. All the other documents I'm submitting show that we live at the original address. Will this be an issue with USCIS?
  7. My wife and I plan to visit her home country outside the US around Christmas on 12/25/23 and return by 1/15/24. Her green card expires on 1/24/24. The earliest I can submit the I-751 documents is 10/26/23. The questions I have are as follows: 1) Will her new permanent resident card (without conditions) likely arrive by mail before Christmas so we can travel? 2) If not, can she travel on her current green card (with conditions) as long as we return before it expires on 1/24/24? Perhaps we can bring documents that we've submitted all of our documents for removal of conditions? Will she have issues returning to the US with her green card right around expiration? Thanks, Hassan
  8. To differentiate between F2a and F2b is the age of 21. Do they look at the immigrant's age at the time of application or when they go for the interview? For example, if her sister is 20 when applying for the F2a, will she no longer qualify for the F2a if she turns 21 while processing the paperwork?
  9. Thank you. Unfortunately, it seems the quickest way to get her siblings here would be through the F2a (better than preference 4 visa). But that will require that her parents come first, leaving her siblings alone in her home country.
  10. Her sister is going to turn 16 in November 2023. My wife got her green card in Jan 2022 so she can apply for US citizenship in Jan 2025. The process I'm assuming will take 6 months or so so once she's a citizen she can call her parents over around July 2025. Her sister will turn 18 in November 2025. But if her parents can sponsor the siblings after coming to the US, and the age doesn't matter (or has to be less than 21) as long as they're not married, then I think the timing will work. What is adjusted age? Under 21 is an earlier preference relative and over 21 is a later preference relative? No immediate relatives for LPRs, correct?
  11. My wife is now a green card holder and will become a citizen in approximately January 2025 (3 years after obtaining her conditional green card). She also wants to bring her parents and (currently) under-18 siblings to the US on an immigrant visa. I just learned that her siblings can't come to the US with her parents as an immediate relative. If her parents immigrate first and then sponsor their children (my wife's siblings on a preference relative 2), can this be done if the child is over 18, or does it have to be under 18? And do they look at the child's age at the time of application or when they arrive for the interview? We're worried the sister may be turning 18 right around that time. Thanks!
