that's very busy office.

depend on local FO availability.

update timeline 5 years rule - GC from consular processing ( parent of USC) filing date (online) : 12/22/23 biometric schedule : 12/27/23 ( just got the letter last week, its for 1/19/24 appointment) field office : Los Angeles

i helped a friend filing early by 60 days ( and not 90 days )before her GC anniversary just to avoid the issue ( can't take oath )

sorry it happened to you. if you wanna try 1 more time and dont want to wait for ur actual GC to arrive, go to different DMV

Yes. She can change both first name and last name on N-400 application

friend got hers (ADIT stamp) few months ago, 2 months before her actual trip.

She always can apply for b1/b2 visa. But depend on the consulate. If not so busy, she most likely will get her GC asap

send everything in 1 package (paper-filing) to avoid problems. sometimes USCIS thinks that its consular processing (i-130 online). before u send, scan everything to you have exact copy

whatever you need to change, you can do it during the interview. dont do it now

give 2-3 weeks for SSN to arrive. can go to SSA office to apply if u didnt get it after 3 weeks. a kid enter 11/19/23 ( no pack whatsoever) and 2 weeks later the SSN card arrived. no GC yet. and ELIS fee was paid before kid entered US.

there's a path for both ur kids and ur husband. you cant "give" citizenship to your husband. all you can do is file petition to him, if it's approved with additional process, he can get his greencard....along the way, years later, he can file his citizenship by himself to USCIS. to get a GC through consular processing roughly between 1,5-2 years. ( not citizenship)

i just did UK visa last july 2023. $136 at that time filed the first day im eligible to apply ( 3 months before the trip)and already completed the trip in October. if u wanna save money for shipping, u can send with whatever mail service TO NYC. it doesnt have to be UPS. i bought UPS 2 DAY AIR ( u cant do 3 days ground ), either 1 day or 2 day air, via shipstation and just put the label inside the envelope. only cost me $10 ( new england). VFS such a racket but unfortunately many countries use their service. their customer service is super horrible. its like they dont understand english. i asked A, they answered Z. usps "lost" my package for 2 weeks before they found it. by then i already did new passport ( need to go to NYC !) so i just role the dice, and they actually approved my application and put the vignette / visa sticker on my old passport that's void. what i did when i enter UK, i brought both old passport + visa and also my new passport. no problem

not for commonwealth contries, schengen countries. all strong countries required in person biometric. i will say for UK slightly different. i applied few months ago and i can do biometric in local USCIS field office and have to send my passport to NYC to VFS. there's no other way. USPS magically " lost" my passport, i have to get a new one ( travel to NYC in Person to do biometric), and of course the day i went to NYC to get a new passport, USPS "found" my package.

If bank statement is optional, do it now then. Now I’m interested which bank run that promotion. Sounds like a good deal

they never reveal how did they transfer the information from USCIS to NVC. not that i know of. my assumption is electronically. but that's only guessing. i wouldnt worry about it too much. save your energy for other matter that's important all you can do is wait and make sure you check the junk / spam folder on ur email.

can you wait a little bit longer to switch bank until she's done with the interview? shouldnt be an issue, u are allow to change bank but since it's not gonna be long (i assume) for her to get interview, why rock a boat?

some schengen countries are more easier to apply than the others. the netherlands is the one that is "easier" in my opinion. i applied once through the netherlands. i heard germany is "harder" so i dont really want to try. also the scandinavian countries famously "harder". i think you should look on travel forum as well, many of them knows in ins and out. and most embassy/consulat didnt even process directly for visa application. i know for example the netherlands its through VFS. one thing for sure, no matter what she need to get her biometric taken in person visa application is usually time consuming and very expensive even when you have a GC. unless u wanna go to canada/mexico. you dont need to apply visa for that countries because you have GC.

did u file tax for 2020 and 2021 ? what's ur adjustment gross income on 2022 tax transcript? can you explain more about "redact"? in my understanding, ur AGI for 3 years need to be over 125% of poverty guideline ur current income its not the issue here, might need joint sponsor do you have the copy of ur i-864? only you can check and see whats the problem. cant say much without looking at it IMO their RFE is always generic like that and not specific. dont make a cover letter unless you are 100% sure that u qualify WITHOUT joint sponsor. u only get 1 shot, better make sure you know whats the real issue.

Location : I will put wherever field office / embassy that’s local to where they live result : pending case

yes, i / we also submitted : 1. the kids BC and copy of GC ( its mandatory LOL) 2. marriage certificate of the applicant and husband, married last year in home country) 3. divorce certificate for both applicant and husband with former spouse 4. tax transcript ( 2021-2022). applicant didnt file tax for 2019-2020 because made zero income and not working the applicant/parent( my friend) is the parent of USC.

its normal. refused is not equal to denied

helped filing for a friend under 5 years rule. 2.5 months early filing parents of USC and came to the US as GC holder ( consular processing) filing date (online) : 12/22/24 most likely will get biometric appointment since she never done it in the US at all evidence to submit : tax transcripts field office : Los Angeles

someone (USC) who didnt file tax for the past 2 years (2021-2022) got RFE for i-864 when he filed for his mother 2 months ago. situation : 1. he didnt make enough for the past 2 years 2. he need joint sponsor ( that he never submit in the initial submission) 3. this person said " i had a business and i lost / didnt make money. therefore i didnt file tax" i told him to go to CPA to file that tax 2021-2022. and suddenly voila, he can produce tax return report that he got from CPA. he cant produce tax transcript, something about website is closed for the moment to file tax ? ( not clear), but AFAIK, even when u lost for ur business, u still need to file tax no matter what, even when he finally got joint sponsor who made more than enough.

In my understanding : city / town = local FO where your mother reside
