do you have any response from ur university? i was wondering if they can write affidavit letter stated that your degree is equivalent to master degree or doctor in Vet. i have similar case but totally different issue with LSAC ( LSAT operator) here in the US. LSAC refused and just ignored me unless i provide what they think its the only correct one.

can always file AOS to USCIS while in removal proceeding, but USCIS cant adjudicate i-485 until removal proceeding terminated.
once removal proceeding terminated, go back to USCIS to reopen i-485. 
 
seems for some reason USCIS didnt catch it while OP AOS'ing but catched it on n-400

DR allows the petitioner to be at the interview.
 
When answering a question or correcting another poster try to be mindful of the specifics.
Dont answer GENERALLY when a poster has given their interview location. 
 
So, @Chelle1994 you can fly to DR if you want to go to the interview. I know I appreciated my husband being at my side when I had to interview for my IR1 visa. 
 

i would wait. im the unlucky one, even waited 10 days, DHS aka USCIS didnt update my GC status. 
after i went to SSA office, took me 2,5 months to get the unrestricted SSN. 
when employer asked me to update my I-9 i just gave them my DL and unrestricted SSN. the end. super easy
i refused to show my GC for job related (that's my choice)
 
 
you dont need to wait to find a job if u already have SSN that's restricted. 
 
 

you dont need to come to the interview. it's not mandatory for consular processing

i agree. i dont even think they  think about it. to live in the US especially not in sanctuary cities is tough without last name. in LA, NYC is common to see : FNU, LNU, No name GIven. but then in another states, with that FNU as surname its not easy to open bank account, get a job etc because its weird. 

ouch indeed ! maybe they are getting better with it, but TBH i literally just heard a friend of a friend of a friend told me he applied for asylum. this person has no last name ( typical indonesian), and just added a new "last" name, and guess what? EAD came with a brand new spanking name. i was wondering how this adjudicator actually did "background" check. 
 
so the discrepancy between last name and combination of different A# is the problem thats why i think USCIS didnt catch it when someone is in removal proceeding. As far as i know, n-400 background check is something else. i just found out a month ago when a friend of mine got n-400 interview. IO asked 4 times if she has a different name, and she said NO. until he said a different last name and then it hit her. ex husband use his last name as her last name ( not legal name) ONCE  20 years ago for health insurance and USCIS actually catch it. cant blame her she dont remember because ex husband has no legal documentation to add the name on the insurance and it only used once. lucky she still got approved and get same day oath ceremony

i wont say i am lucky if im in your shoes since at the moment u hit a road block. get a good deportation lawyer, not just a "lawyer". go to the court and ask around. usually there are plenty of deportation lawyer who always in the court doing cases for their client. u want that lawyer and not just immigration lawyer.
 
there are couple of story when some people have different A# ( i understand alien # is assigned for life, but in practice, many people got a new one because they dont disclosed the old one) that's why their USCIS case and court case arent connected

No ! U might get hearing date a year from now. Get a lawyer to file motion to reopen and motion to terminate ! Better do it now before we got new president ! 
 
how did you get ur GC ? Normally GC won’t be approved if ur case is admin closed in court

@OswRae you’re worry about Step 7 (3 years down the road) when you should be thinking about Steps 1 and 2.
The affidavit of support is only needed at NVC stage after you meet, get married and file the petition. 
And affidavit of support means nothing if the consulate doesn’t believe the relationship is real.
So, first steps: meet this person 1-3 times. If you live close to them you should be meeting them as often as you can before marriage and after marriage. 
Canada and US are right next to each other and it’s very easy for Canadians and US citizens to travel to the other country.
If you don’t establish a good base of in person meetings I worry about the visa being approved.
While you are building your relationship, look for online work. Look for part time work. i864 suggests assets can be used but it’s not a guarantee, so, if you can’t line up a joint sponsor you need to earn more money. 
You have 2-3 years to either find a joint sponsor or make more money. 
Don’t get married on the first or second visit. Don’t get married via Utah. Being in a U.S./Canadian relationship has real privileges to it..:
If your partner is Canadian have them see if they qualify for a TN Visa. They can move to the US and maybe you can build your relationship like that… or maybe because where they live is so expensive have them move to a border city so it’s easier for the two of you to meet.
Even though Canada is not a high fraud country marrying on the first/ second visit without a lot of IN PERSON time is a red flag.
If you know this person is your forever person make sure you build a strong case FOR THE CONSULATE and so he is able to move to the US sooner rather than never. 
 
Good luck!

The day u are officially and legally married, u can file I-130 (of course wait for marriage cert first before filing)

u already applied 1 K1 visa and u didnt follow through with the marriage. i totally get it. 
but if u want a better chance, either u apply CR1 or if you still not sure about marriage, then spend more time together, visit each other and collect more evidence. do you really want to apply K1 visa and along the way they might deny the case? u will waste time, and also higher and big risk for second K1 visa with the same person
