easy fix....FOIA request ! i just received mine. only 780 pages hah ! what else do you need? A file covered everything. it even go back to my DS-160 from 2005. unfortunately all my records from 1992-2004 arent digitize so FOIA request didnt do anything on that particular years.

thats why u used the laser printer LOL.....

One is the past 5 years ( inside and outside US doesn’t matter as long as it’s within the past 5 years ) the other one is the last job she had outside US.

got it ! thank you !

thanks @Chancy so just to be clear, even if the child entered US before 2 years mark, that child still get 10 years GC?

Biological mom went for AOS to USC and got the Conditional GC in February 2023. 2 years marriage anniversary will be in February 2024. the child is doing consular processing and will have the interview in about 2 months. if the child entered US after February 2024, will the child receive 2 years GC ( follow the mom) or 10 years GC ?

the trauma will leave scars forever ha ha ! i just realized one thing, i have every single piece of the documentation/artifacts in pdf and store in more than 1 e-places. i just assumed everyone are like me. that's why i think i wont need to hardcopy

you may once you are done with ur journey shredded it all

Yes keep working. Extension letter will come

If she has other legal document eg greencard etc, she doesn’t need to renew her passport right now

for name, leave it empty if she never have other name if you have no providence, leave it blank u can use N/A if you want as long not on name

dont let me start with : once u apply for n-400 u cant never ever leave the US until you get ur citizenship. mind you not everyone from SE asia can / speak / read english quite well and they listened more from their friends and it began like this " so and so said <insert the context>" i know its only an opinion, but myths are hard to die unfortunately

lol...i always used my "me no speak english" or " english is not my first language" BS when it happened. i always get away with it ha ha ha. but yeah, i guess it really depend on the officer. one time i even gave my passport together with the GC, and the officer immediately return my passport and said " i dont need that, just this" while waving on my GC. im on the waiting list for nexus approval. once it got approved, i can use global service kiosk too. less human interaction the better

i came from south asean country and i completely understand OP's concern. many many people in SE asia adamant that "sponsorship" is the key for approval of B1/B2 visa and not strong ties to home country. it also doesnt help because of the currency exchange, the income in SE asia tend to be lower than US standard. no matter how many times i told them, they still think "sponsorship" is they key factor for approval. OP like other said : showing strong ties to the home country is the key for successful visa approval. there's no sponsorship visa for B1/B2 visa like some other foreign country requirement

glad that 24 season finale has final ending LOL

current income is very important does the current income is above requirement

not country specific, it applies to all. many many GC holder in the same situation like yours and they are from all around the world ( passport = maiden, GC - married) always book ur flight ticket with the name listed on the passport. all airline adopt the same rule. US- Brazil check in : show Brazil passport from Brazil - US check in : show passport and GC. if airline staff ask about name discrepancy : show marriage certificate. landing : show GC, if CBP ask for passport ( they rarely ask), show ur brazil passport

3 letter of

If doe is her real last name then put doe as surname. B1/B2 doesn’t recognize first name only. Many people I know who has 1 name end up getting FNU ( first name unknown ) as their given name and their real given name as last name. my suggestion is : put doe as her Last name on the form to avoid that FNU apart on the EAD or GC. She need a last name by American standard

Did u pay file tax for the past 3 years ? 2020-2021 ? I know you mentioned about 2022.

highly unlikely n-400 interview will be conducted after filing date, usually they are quite fast even in big cities. she doesnt have to wait in the US while her n-400 still pending, she can stay outside the US as long as its not over 180 days still. and obviously fly back to the US when she got interview date.

luckily the answer will be either one, they make it super easy

+1 wait till u outside the US. there's no rush

u can go anywhere u want, no restriction on K1 about visiting another country ( beside expire date)

she cant change her name on birth certificate because its already in the past. she need court order for that or marriage certificate if that foreign country accept that as a name change document. when she wants to change her name to married name for any foreign documentation, she can bring her marriage certificate / court order along with her original birth certificate so it shows her name change from A to B. no need to change her name on passport and driver's license in her country if she doesnt want to or some country make it super difficult for that. as long as whatever paperwork she has in the US = married name. many people do that without an issue. when u filed for AOS, put ur last name as her last name on all the forms. she will get the EAD and SS with a new name
