    On the other hand, N-400 can take 6-12 months only to find yourself in a hot spot and potential denial. But since you kept lease and filed taxes, I think you should be OK convincing officer that you didn't abandon residence. Again, it may not be the simplest case if officer is very particular about travel, but it is approvable in my opinion.

    You can give it a shot if you don't mind potentially losing N-400 fees. But there's high chance they can convince officer they didn't abandon their residency.

    Technically you're right but you're so close to breaking residence that you have to be very careful and precise to prove you didn't break residence. It's very likely you'll be asked to prove ties at that time. Did you keep US lease? US job? Bank accounts in the US? You can avoid potential issue altogether by waiting to file N-400 until your 5 year anniverary of coming back to the US after that long trip during COVID time. Would it be fair to say you can just file later this year?

    There's nothing wrong with using attorney if can afford. All of my cases, including I-751 were handled by attorneys.

    K3 is obsolete visa that is almost never issued (3-4 visas per year!). There are people who believe filing it helps speeding up I-130. There's no clear correlation and no proof of it working. Also there's no logical explanation why it would work. PD is Priority Date

    Just to make sure... You cannot use PO as physical address, only as mailing address.

    Need to do everything you did before to get that visa. Depending on how old he is now, it may take much much longer to get back to the US.

    The safest thing to do, of course, is to apply 5 years from May-June 2024 so that long isn't in the travel history. Do they actually own a house or have a lease? This may be required to prove their ties. Bank accounts are good but it may not be enough on its own.

    You can even ask Chat GPT to draft one. You need to make sure there's date, your name and signature and case number somewhere in the body of the letter

    Congratulations to you and your spouse, but for immigration it doesn't matter you got married. Marriage alone doesn't grant any status. Right now, if you're not in J-1 program, you're out of status.
  11. OldUser
    Yes, copy of DS-3025 if correct box is checked. This is only for K-1. Others adjusting status are required to submit I-693.
  12. OldUser
    You cannot file I-693 without new exam practically. And there is no need to file I-693 if DS-3025 has box "K Visa applicant voluntarily completed vaccination requirements" checked.
  13. OldUser
    Out of status, if you're no longer in J-1 program. Sometimes visa can be expired but you're in status. When was your last entry? Are you still in J-1 program? More importantly, were you subject to 212(e) aka 2 year rule?

    Congratulations! I guess WoM was worth it. Do you mind sharing any details about the process and events that followed after filing WoM?
  15. OldUser
    Does your DS-3025 have checkmark checked for "K Visa applicant voluntarily completed vaccination requirements"?
  16. OldUser
    The vaccinations on DS-3025 should be completed

    What do you mean by this? Kid has to have a GC, US citizen can present their certicate of naturalization or US passport.
  18. OldUser
    ^^ @May531 this is the reason N-600 is highly recommended. Imagine your kid has to go through this as an adult many years later when renewing US passport or getting some other benefit. You may not longer be around, but the adult child of yours will have to go through archives to prove they're really US citizen. If they have cerficate of citizenship, on the other hand, that's just one paper immediately proving they're a citizen without having to go through hassle.

    Assuming it's a real lawyer an not a notario posing as a lawyer...

    Once she's LPR she will be taxed in the US

    NOA1 is the extension letter. Mail can take 4-8 weeks behind online updates
  22. OldUser
    Of course. Only LPR can become a citizen in this scenario.
  23. OldUser
    Yes, you need transit visa. I'd pick a different connection

    Depends on country. Check Visa Reciprocity Table for your country. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html/ This describes what USCIS and DOS will accept
  25. OldUser
    I think USCIS pays attention to postmark date. https://www.dhs.gov/news/2023/09/20/treat-date-you-print-your-shipping-label-your-postmark-date
