  1. The fact she has GC makes her pass green card test, meaning she's the resident for tax purposes.
  2. December 2024 filers stats as of 02/26/2025 @ 4:15 PM ET: No new approvals, but few people got ceremony scheduled. Slowdown for Dec 2024 filers is obvious @Edward and Jaycel
  3. N-400 cannot be approved without I-751 being approved first. I won't be surprised if I-751 is stuck now. You have somebody else (K-2) who you do not have a contact with... This is not a typical situation with K-2. Your I-751 case might have been approved if you modified it uncheking the box saying daughter is applying for ROC with you. But I guess it's a difficult personal decision to make.

  5. Always better late than never
  6. Everybody who participated in J-1 program should have had DS-2019. Reach out to program organizers, they may have records. Does she have old passport with J-1 visa in it? One reason USCIS needs DS-2019 is to determine whether she was a subject to rule 212 (e)
  7. I think this is very personal and depends on many factors, including countries of citizenships. But it is indeed very fast in your case!
  8. This makes a lot of sense, thank you. Over the years I looked at N-400 paper form and remembered there was a question like this. When it came time to file my N-400, I filed electronically and this was never asked. The edition changed without me noticing. Great, mystery solved 😃
  9. You're right, everything you outlined is correct
  10. This is nothing to do with US immigration
  11. Agreed, it's a yes, until LPR earns 40 quarters of social security or becomes a US citizen
  12. Yes, it's possible. There's whole thread where people discuss assets rejections. Also, each joint sponsor should make enough / have enough assets. Unless mother and sister combine finances?
  13. The two common things causing confusion when using online form are: - Married filers who file under general provision freak out why final form doesn't mention spouse info. This is normal, as not required under 5 year rule - Married people living with kids scratch head when asked about child support and seeing warning. It's not applicable in this situation. It's only for parent's supporting kids after divorce or who they don't live with etc
  14. Curious to learn what the opinions are. I'm not 100% sure what I'd put in this answer. Saying "yes" and describing that you didn't file for adjustment on time is unlikely going to hurt, because any overstay is forgiven. At the same time, technically, K-1 is for marrying and you did that.
  15. Are you sure you're not an immigration lawyer? 😃 You made a good point.
  16. Nice. These stats get updated all the time. For example, not so long ago I-751 used to show breakdown by service centers but not anymore...
  17. You're right. I checked N-400 and couldn't find what OP asks for. I think it might have been a question on other forms, but not N-400.
  18. One caveat, I-131 form includes all sort of cases and doesn't differentiate timeline for various documents: - Advance parole - Re-entry permit - Refugee travel document - TPS travel document So the timeline is aggregated for all sort of cases. If you want to have insurance policy, apply for I-131. You may never get it or need it, but if your close ones get sick back home, you won't be able to leave without advance parole, without abandoning your AOS and getting a entry ban. In my case (pre-Covid), AP took 5.5 months, I-485 took 8.5 months, but I never used AP. In fact, it was a combo EAD / AP card and I used EAD only.
  19. Surely one can get married in chuch if both parties are free to marry. However, if OP had a civil ceremony and was married already, they could not legally marry in church, and instead could just have a celebratory event for family. E.g. it would look like a wedding and could be treated like a wedding to family. But in the eyes of law, no real paperwork is produced. In the eyes of law the civil ceremony is real marriage, and event in church isn't counted towards number of times married. If OP lied to church and claimed unmarried when was married, got marriage license etc, then second marriage is not valid either and civil marriage is still the real marriage.
