update GC = pay i-90 fee $540 + wait months / years passport = u can use ur maiden name it doesnt matter, bring marriage certificate to show why ur name is not match. everything else : Social security + GC + DL = make it match any reason why u have discrepancy on social security / DL and GC?

yes we did this in capecod, ask a friend to be the officiant

go to other states. some states allow their non resident to get marry there. check on the state's website. back in 2020 we went to MA because NY only did online married and all the slots are fully book

I will add a week after ur window is open. And no need to wait for 2023 tax transcript if you don’t want too. The cut of date is April 15 anyway

I’m quite specific that I want / need lawyer from Boston. Dunno if she is ? If OP need great Boston’s lawyer please HMU also I’m not a fan of immigration court just because of the hearings date keep push around and not specifically because of a judge. Though I have the toughest hardest judge while my case still in NYC. Most of the time the judge themself is quite lenient vs to USCIS (asylum). I have couple of friends got their GC granted by the judge, some has more compassion then USCIS. and I rather handle USCIS (piece of cake ) vs court. but when USCIS denied ur filing couple of times I think it’s time to cook another game plan

Oh I believed you. I’m from Indonesia and when I arrived 7 years ago (until now) I was flabbergasted with the US banking system that seems like coming from Jurassic park year

what did i want to use? credit cards. why? easy no brainer, super easy, miles + points etc etc what did i use in the end? personal checks, why? because it's USCIS that we are talking about here. so many horror story about card being declined etc, why rock the both since i have all kind of payment method that i can use. i know my card wont be declined, i used it for big ticket items up to $10,000 in single swipe and i have no issue, but my suggestion to my friends always personal checks too because we never know other people's spending habit. many people didnt think about it, turned out their card limit in single swipe or day is $500 or $1000. some send 4 i-130 for families and credit card got bounce too because the bank think that it's fraud attempts most people have checking account i assume, otherwise how do they survive to live in the US without one? they dont have personal check? call and ask the bank to send it to them. moral story : follow what the most easiest way to pay that wont cancel ur payment.

Most POE will require moving from different terminals by shuttles or train anyway especially if it’s international + domestic. I’m very conservative when I fly nowdays, like i said earlier, add more times probably 4 hours. It’s fine to have longer layover but safer. She can just chill out if she has more times.

Same terminal or ? Boston is not really huge but still need to take shuttle depend on the terminal. So that’s the only concern especially if she bring lotsa bags. I will probably just book longer layover or if it’s late enough of the flight, book her airport hotel. Flying since 2022 always stressing me out due to delay cancelation etc

file i-130 with USCIS. wait roughly a year to get approved. once it approved it will be send to NVC for next processing once done filing with NVC ( DS260 and i-864), it will be sent to embassy / consulate for interview. roughly 18-24 months total u can file it today if u want

where is ur wife right now ? inside or outside US? inside US = adjustment of status outside US = consular processing 2 different thing you can file for the kid right now if you already file for ur wife. i-130 only

U need to find someone with real job / active income as joint sponsor. The government wants to make sure that the sponsor + joint sponsor to be responsible. U only have 1 shot and social security benefits for your daughter won’t cut it. Dont rock the boat

Who do you sponsor ? Is it marriage base or family base or something else ? Which category? I saw you are in NVC, has the petition has been approve by USCIS yet ? Need more info before we can give you correct advise

i will try again 1 more time with walk in ( if it's not far from where u live). hopefully got a different person or try chat/call emma and say "info pass" ask tier 1 to ask tier 2 to call you there's also message option on my uscis account, u can send a message to them ( but it's not heavily monitored) try to reach out to your local congressperson, maybe they are willing to help there's no time frame for appointment, they do whatever they want unfortunately try to get outside ur area, type USCIS field office and look around if they accept walk in or you have to go to a specific ASC ( most big cities assign biometric in ASC and not in local field office)

been a couple months already know ( refering to mike E) and why? guess you have to ask him yourself my take for n-600 : in the new future who knows if the kids who only have US passport/card might petition their future spouse ( u never know right). who knows USCIS ( if they didnt change the name again - it was INS 2 decades ago) might said US passport is not enough, u have to submit birth certificate or n-400 or n-600. also US passport = Department of State and USCIS = DHS. 2 different agencies. as you know they dont communicate to each other well enough. so this is just an expensive investment, IMO

when you enter US, u can let them know so they can update ur address

1. sometimes they "lost" it. i will wait till RFE before i get another medical. 2. yes....sometimes many months

if I were you, I will get my US passport first. once u have the US passport, u can live wherever you want without the restriction like LPR status ( need to reside in the US at least 6 months / year)

they wont take photo album just use powerpoint, attach the pictures + add discriptions ( max 3 pics in 1 slide), print it out in letter size, it's okay to print it out black and white.....then mail it

second this ! they want to see transactions, eg : pay cable, pay rent, buy groceries etc. normal marital life sharing financial together. my suggestion is always minimum 3 months full statements. they dont care about a piece of letter stating that person A added person B vice versa without real transaction statement. now obviously u have deadline for RFE so send whatever you have and not waiting for 3 months statement. all my statement from the bank are paperless and i can access it by login on the app / website and just download it

on the RFE it said share marital life together. technically yes its from the day you married to present. but that's the standard generic letter for RFE anyway but i dont see the harm to add on the evidence since when u were dating ( for example : boarding pass to show whoever visit the other). this past 2 years i helped filing many AOS, even with wedding pictures and from the day they dated, photos that we submitted never exceed 15 pics. focus on evidence of cohabitation / finance more. that's they want to see that you guys share live together

if u fill up G-1145 u (sometimes) / will get text messages from USCIS with receipt number. but sometimes even when u did, u still didnt get any text message. what you can do is check is the check already cash out by uscis ? if it's cash out, the snail mail letters will come 10-20 days. obviously this is just rough estimation.

he can apply from japan

gotcha...i will give another 1 week, and in the mean time prepare a new package ready to send. if u decide to send a new package, cancel the original check first obviously. i help a lot of people filing and this past few weeks it's been weird. i noticed some of them didnt get the text message from USCIS, or tracking system its not updated, but turned out they reused the old biometric etc etc. and on top of that it was holiday season when they received it. but i agree with u.... 12/19 u should get something or anything by now whatever it is
