  1. The receipt / extension letter will list actual service center at the end of it.
  2. I'm 90% sure they say whatever to get you off the chat ASAP. Then report to their managers they "helped" 50 people an hour etc.
  3. I'd request copy from that medical facility. And if they don't cooperate, there must be a way of flagging them to USCIS / DOS. They should be following all instructions to continue working with US government.
  4. Thanks for the report. Though, G-1145 works half of the time anyway... I suspect phone carriers and email providers often block USCIS correspondence as spam.
  5. That's true, technically valid, but not sure if you want to get it rejected again. DOS / USCIS are known to make mistakes. If adjudicator sees "2 years" in instructions, they may be reluctant to look into terms and conditions extending validity of certificate. Plus you have to somehow prove she haven't traveled to China in the last two years to make it obvious. Sometimes taking a path of least resistance is the way forward.
  6. Police certificates expire. When did she get it? I'd recommend getting a fresh one and getting it translated independently. This is the path to success in my opinion
  7. You don't need translator just to certify translation done by somebody else. Get them translate it and certify their own translation to avoid issues.
  8. US government needs to ensure immigrant won't become a public charge. Hence income requirement. US immigrant visas are given to reunite US citizens with their immidiate relative. If you're already united outside the US, there's no reason for DOS to give US visa. US citizen should also demonstrate domicile in the US, e.g. prove they live there. This is typically a bad idea. Most of the times, consulate won't let anybody else in to the building other than foreigner seeking visa. And when they do let US citizen spouse in, there's a risk of Stokes interview. E.g. separating you and your spouse, asking same questions and comparing the answers. If the answers don't match, you're marriage legitimacy is questioned. Questions may include but not limited to color of carpet in the bedroom, spouse's third cousin full name, how spouse gets to work and many other questions that could throw off even couple living together for years.
  9. Same here, read visa bulletin again and it is F1. Thank you @appleblossom
  10. Getting I-864 right is crucial. Looping @pushbrk as an expert in this area.
  11. A 27 year old daughter, unmarried?
  12. We see average of 15 months for US Citizens' I-130. Could be longer, could be shorter.
  13. Do you have a different joint sponsor who is not self employed? The problem with self employed sponsors is that many minimize their taxes which hurts their ability to sponsor.
  14. If you filed in July 2024, then expect about 15 months until I-130 is approved. So it lands you in October or November of 2025. It could take more or less. After approval, add another 2-3 months to get actual visa in passport. So we're talking about January-February 2026 potentially. As @Edward and Jaycel said, MyProgress is extremely inaccurate. It's just random numbers showing there all the time. Can your husband visit you? Or can you meet in a third country? A summer getaway together, if you can afford it, is a cool thing to do.
  15. ROC can take 3-4 years (if not applying for naturalization). 48 month extension letters are given for a reason.
  16. I-130s take about 15 months for US citizens. Add another 2-3 months to convert your case from LPR to US citizen. We're talking about 18 months, so August -September 2025. I assume you notified USCIS about becoming a citizen for the pending I-130?
  17. I would be more concerned if RFE is the first time you heard about these serious charges. Do you know the person well enough to plan spending your entire life with?
  18. Very good catch! I didn't realize it, though she was a minor.
  19. Part 5. Info about children. It asks for A-number for each child. Social Security number is not something asked on I-751 and isn't related / required for I-751. As to account, daughter's case is related to mother's case. Progress can be tracked in mother's USCIS account. When conditions are removed for mother, at same time conditions will be removed for child. Child's conditions depend on mother's petition.
  20. In 2024 some waited up to 10 weeks to get receipt in mail.
  21. As far as I know, you only file one I-751 petition and pay $750. 1a is the answer for basis of petition. List child in the Part 5 and check box Yes for question 11 - Is this child applying with you? Make sure your wife takes part in filling I-751. It's her and her daughter's petition. She needs to know all the answers as she ultimately responsible for all of them. You as a US citizen only sign petition in Part 8. All other info on the from is from your wife's point of view and knowledge.
