@Sm1smom I think you mean USCIS sends the Online Access Code which is different from the Online Account Number. The Online Access Code is sent along with the NOA1 after the I-485 is received so the applicant can track the status. I did see the Online Account Number somewhere at one point, but can not find it now, or forget where it was used? @OldUser I appreciate your response, but apparently, the Online Account Number does not show up in our my.USCIS.gov. So the question now is the Online Account Number ever used or what is its purpose? Why would the forms I-129F, I-485, and I-751 ask for it if it is optional?

Don't have N-400 yet. But the I-485 Case Status, etc. only has the Receipt Number IOE******.

No. I do not see the USCIS Online Account Number in the link you provided. I just see the different Case Status and Case Number like IOE******. I guess leaving the USCIS Online Account Number blank is the best option.

After login to my.uscis.gov, I can't seem to find the USCIS Online Account Number. In the I-129F, I-485 or I-751, does anyone know how to find the USCIS Online Account Number (if any)? Thanks.

Invoice ID is from NVC. The consulate might have it as well?

Have you completed your I-864 financial support responsibilities for your 2 ex's? If not, USCIS may red flag that as reason to deny.

We are currently house-sitting for family members and will include an explanation of our living situation in Part 11 of the I-751. Our bills show joint accounts for the utilities. Since there are some redundant overlap in the evidence time period between the I-751 and the N-400, we are including bimonthly bill statements like the odd months with the I-751 and the even months with the N-400 plus the extra year for the 3-year rule requirement. Thanks for the reminder to include the driver's licenses.

I have not seen 2 RFEs just for the medical, but I have seen others posting their RFE with 2 missing requirements in which they needed the I-693 medical. If you do get 2 medical RFEs, most likely you need to include the I-693 with the I-485. Check out https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alerts/uscis-now-requires-report-of-immigration-medical-examination-and-vaccination-record-to-be-submitted and https://www.uscis.gov/i-693 If you do get I-485 denied, depending on the incompletion or non- compliance, you need to complete or to comply then resubmit a new I-485 with the fee again. If your incompletion or non-compliance is complicated, then you may need to pay an immigration lawyer to help you.

Best to ask the civil surgeon doctor. Including the I-693 with the I-485 is the most compliant answer to USCIS. Check out https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alerts/uscis-now-requires-report-of-immigration-medical-examination-and-vaccination-record-to-be-submitted and https://www.uscis.gov/i-693

If you want to include additional information about your pregnancy, you can do so in Part 11 of the I-751. List: Page Number 3, Part Number 5, Item Number 1-6, and explain when you are expecting. Document the pregnancy for USCIS so they know what to expect if you show up with a newborn to the interview. Pregnancy and newborns can be good evidence for a bona fide relationship. But as others have said, list only the children you have on the date of the form submission.

Hello to all who got a biometrics appointment. Can you get your biometrics done before the scheduled appointment date like for the AOS? Or do you have to wait till the biometrics appointment?

@apnzz @Edward and Jaycel https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/827808-in-case-i-file-for-a-k1-visa-again-this-year/#findComment-11033444 Until the previous I-864 Affidavit of Support is fulfilled, USCIS may not approve another K1 or Spousal visa for @Franklin22

1. Read the I-864 "Responsibilities as Sponsor": https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/affidavit-of-support When you sign the affidavit of support, you accept legal responsibility for financially supporting the sponsored immigrant(s), generally until they become U.S. citizens or are credited with 40 quarters of work. Your obligation as a sponsor also ends if you or the individual sponsored dies or if the individual sponsored ceases to be a lawful permanent resident and departs the United States. Note: Divorce does NOT end the sponsorship obligation. If an immigrant you sponsored receives any means-tested public benefits, you are responsible for repaying the cost of those benefits to the agency that provided them. If you do not repay the debt, the agency or the immigrant can sue you in court to get the money owed. Any joint sponsors and household members who allowed the sponsor to combine their income with the sponsor’s income to meet the minimum income requirements are also legally responsible for financially supporting the sponsored immigrant. In fact, any joint sponsor and household member is jointly or severally liable with the petitioning sponsor, meaning that the joint sponsor and household member are independently liable for the full extent of the reimbursement obligation and can be sued in court or be asked to pay the money owed, even if the petitioning sponsor is not sued or asked for money. You could theoretically convince your ex to get US naturalized or voluntarily leave the US. But that does not eliminate any accrued means-tested public benefits which you are obligated to repay. 2. Until #1 is met, moving and marrying broad does not end your I-864 legally binding contract with the US government. USCIS may not accept another Affidavit of Support from you for another immigrant, and may even request you pay back any means-tested public benefits. Even if you move abroad and renounce your US citizenship, the accrued debt can still linger.

@Franklin22 Has your ex naturalized, or met the conditions to cease your I-864 financial obligations to her?

@Jsut78 I'm following the I-751 guidelines from USCIS "Checklist of Required Initial Evidence (for informational purposes only)" https://www.uscis.gov/i-751 and VJ guidelines for I-751 https://www.visajourney.com/guides/removing-conditions-permanent-residency/ and follow USCIS Form Filing Tips https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/tips-for-filing-forms-by-mail

Yes. You order from PSA the official ROM. It is printed on some yellowish-greenish official paper. The lower part "OFFICIAL USE ONLY. DO NOT WRITE ANYTHING BELOW THIS BOX" is officially filled in and stamped. For the self-addressed stamped envelope included for the consulate, all the original documents were returned after about 6 months: ROM signed, Marriage Certificate, Birth Certificate, Passport copies, and cashier's check receipt. Yes, you use the official ROM from PSA for the Philippines Passport renewal, name change update, etc.

Maybe the mail is the paper notification for the missing 1 medical document? Please do let us know after you receive it.

That "Smith" name on the K1 application may be a red flag to the USCIS case officer. Be prepared to have an explanation and evidence for a K1 RFE or at the K1 interview. I don't advocate lying.

That "Davis" name on the K1 application may be a red flag to the USCIS case officer. Be prepared to have an explanation and evidence for a K1 RFE or at the K1 interview. I don't advocate lying.

The international plane ticket is booked with the passport name, which seems to be your Philippines name (or US maiden name). Your SSN name can be updated with the marriage certificate name. I don't know if others have tried to book international flight tickets in the USCIS/green card/AP marriage name but with the foreign passport maiden name? In either case, yes, the Philippines spouse needs to travel with a marriage certificate to link the maiden to the marriage name. So if I understand your situation correctly, you are still married to your ex-husband in the Philippines, your Philippines passport name will not be updated to your US marriage name unless you divorce or null your Philippines marriage and submit a new ROM with your new US marriage. Because you may have a perpetual name difference between your Philippines passport and your USCIS name, you may have to wait till US naturalization to get the US passport in your marriage name.

@maryaaaaaaaaaaa Check out our Timeline or Profile->Immigration Info->Our Story for our sequence of processing https://www.visajourney.com/profile/386517-eatbulaga/ I recommend getting the SSN as soon as possible after US entry with your I-94 and before the marriage. Your SSN name will match your passport and I-94. After marriage, I recommend going back to the SS Office to update your name change with your marriage certificate before sending in your AOS. If you use the I-485 option to update your marriage name, it may take a while, and put you in limbo with a lot of important name updates to show co-mingling like joint bank accounts, joint tax filing, utility account names, etc. After the SSN marriage name update, file your AOS with your marriage name. Best to update to your marriage name as soon as possible.

@maryaaaaaaaaaaa So were you married previously in the US to a US citizen and divorced in the US? If you were married in the US, did you not have an SSN in the previous marriage? If you had a previous SSN, you just need to update your name after your marriage to your new marriage name with your new marriage certificate?

@jg121783 Yes, you are correct about your wife's path to dual citizenship. She will need to repatriate with the Philippines Embassy. Assuming the Chicago consulate is her jurisdiction, you can check when the Chicago Outreach is scheduled near you to save a trip to Chicago. https://www.chicagopcg.com/outreach.html Does your 17-year old already have the US passport? If yes, then you can check with the consulate if that and his original Philippines passport are enough to repatriate. As for the 11-month and 7-year old Report of Birth, your wife can tell them she didn't know about the requirement. She as the Philippines citizen applies for Report of Birth, not the US citizen. Your wife may need to answer why she wants Philippines citizenship for your 11-month and 7-year old since the filing is delayed. The consulate will want proof and the calculation that your 11-month and 7-year old were born when your wife was still a Philippines citizen. Some of the benefits of dual citizenship are land ownership in the Philippines, no visa travel to the Philippines with the Philippines passport, etc. Without dual citizenships, your children can not claim Philippines citizenship for their children (or your grandchildren). Also, foreigners can inherit land from Philippines citizens in the Philippines or foreigers can bequeath/will land to Philippines citizens, but foreigners can NOT inherit or bequeath/will properties to foreigners. So you and your children as non-Philippines citizens, can inherit property from your Philippines wife, but without Philippines citizenship, you or your children can not bequeath/will the Philippines land to non-Philippines citizen.

Received the USCIS account notification: Reminder to File Form I-751.
