  1. Old cases got migrated to electronic system with change to case numbers. You now need a new case number to check status. The petitioner should have received mail telling about this change. Was address updated with USCIS every time petitioner moved?
  2. Be ready for combo. Take US citizen spouse with you.
  3. Thanks, as long as you're granted citizenship correctly, no issue applying for passport with current martial status. It would be wrong to say to DOS you're married when you're divorced. Good luck!
  4. You cannot lie to DOS. So what happened in the interview? Was IO aware you're in divorce proceedings?
  5. The standard deduction for MFS is $14,600. The standard deduction for MFJ is $29,200. So he'd not be paying taxes on about $15K if filing jointly.
  6. Technically, yes, CBP can search LPR and US citizen's phones and take them into interrogation room too. Should not be worried, unless had overstay in the past, criminal history or association with questionable organizations. LPRs who spend too much time outside the US may be pressured into surrendering their GC (I-407)
  7. Do you want to be picked up by ICE and detained, then forcefully removed from the US? It's a possibility for anybody hanging out in the US without status. As everybody said, leave the States ASAP and divorce in the UK. It won't be any more complicated. Assuming you're a UK citizen, you'll be going through divorce on your soil with all rights and protections and friends / family support.
  8. For 3 year rule though, don't forget about 3 years of marital union required.
  9. You're in different situation though, not a regular 5 year rule filer
  10. December 2024 filer. Got notification around 10:30 am. I wouldn't worry about the time. Emails sometimes are held by servers etc. So it may arrive at any random time of the day.
  11. Why not Writ Of Mandamus after 120 days? It's more effective. There are lawyers specializing in it.
  12. Nobody has a crystal ball and nobody can tell how it will go exactly... The biggest red flag is boyfriend in the US. The second flag is her being young female of marrying age. Good luck!
  13. GMC is technically a 5 year look back. Unless you were accused of something big. Did you go to interview with a lawyer?
  14. You can through representative, but more often than not they would tell you everything you already know. 6-12 months for N-400 is not unusual.
  15. My understanding is, it's best to demonstrate to court that you have a path to LPR status based on your approved VAWA and ask to terminate removal proceedings so that USCIS could adjudicate I-485. You may need a lawyer to pull this off. This is not a legal advice and I'm not a lawyer. Good luck!
  16. While in removal proceedings, I-485 is in court's jurisdiction
  17. I applied for N-400 under 5 year rule, there was no special section for uploading taxes, other than Additional Evidence. No, absence of 2024 taxes is OK if filing before April 15
  18. Your husband doesn't want to get a bigger tax break, and potentially bigger return? Typically MFJ results in more money saved VS MFS. I always filed MFJ using Turbotax, even when I was going through AOS. What issue is he facing? Only one person would be filing taxes when filing as MFJ anyways. He'd just include your name and SSN plus any applicable income.
  19. Looks like you're creating duplicate posts?
