  1. Whoever is the immigrant should keep their immigration documents including USCIS letters. I-129F NOAs are some of them. The only disadvantage of keeping records is space. But I'd gladly toss some other stuff like excess clothes or other clutter to make space for docs that literally proof right to remain in the US.
  2. Yes, as long as you already have the date for appointment, you have two options: 1) Try to walk in early (with letter) OR 2) Reschedule appointment for earlier date (kudos to @Edward and Jaycel:
  3. Yes, make a digital copy of NOA2 and keep it. I'd say keep all original I-797 letters for all cases including future cases (I-129F, I-485, I-751, N-400). Make digital copies of them too and store in the cloud. In the end, your fiance will have about 20-40 pages of important papers from USCIS documenting their immigration journey. Government may always ask to re-prove / re-verify how they became a citizen, even many years later. Either for them or descendants. Along with house deed and their birth certificate, these are super valuable docs.
  4. Yes, AOS requires submitting proof of entry with inspection. That would be I-94 issued at last entry.
  5. I'd send a letter to same address you sent the case to. Put REF: and case number, then explanation of what page and what question # you need to correct. Send a copy of passport / ID showing correcr DOB. Do the same electronically if you can add unsolicited evidence. Point this out during biometrics appointnent.
  6. You mean now you're able to see it? I'd try correcting it... May need to speak to Emma... Is DOB also wrong on I-751 form or just in account?
  7. Can you not enter wrong DOB again to access it?
  8. Don't forget I-130A. Yes, both I-765 and I-131 now require fees even if filed together with I-485. Both are optional, but you know better whether there are old parents etc back in immigrant's country of origin. In those cases, I-131 isn't a bad idea.
  9. If your lawyer is a real lawyer (as found on https://www.ailalawyer.com/), and you're paying them money to manage your case - you should follow their advice. Did you have lawyer when you filed forms? RFE when filing with a lawyer may indicate their level or competence...
  10. Employment / unemployment is not an issue for naturalizing. K-3 is dead.
  11. It doesn't seem like it was enough evidence and USCIS issued RFE because of this. Bonafide marriage evidence Did you send any evidence of living together? Joint lease and copies of utility bills in both names? Did you send evidence of comingling finances? Any joint banking account statements? Tax return transcripts showing you filed taxes jointly? Any insurance policies (health, life, car) showing both names? Any proof of travelling together or any big purchases as a married couple? Any affidavits from friends, family, colleagues, building managers saying they knew you as a married couple? Abuse evidence Any police reports that were filed documenting abuse? Any medical documented proof of physical abuse? Any phychological evaluation showing damage abuser caused you? Any records of you staying at shelter to be away from abuser? Any affidavits from friends, family or witnesses of abuse?
  12. I don't think it adds any value. I'd just address the exact problem and leave it at that.
  13. I wouldn't worry about those 3 weeks too much. In some very rare cases officer can try making that point, but it's very very improbable. More importantly: - You will likely get denied if on 03 NOV 2024 you weren't married for 3 or more years - Some users were denied by applying on the very first day of their 90 day early window. This may or may not be a problem. If we could go back in time, I would have advised you to apply on Monday, November 4th or later instead. Overall, I give about 95% you'll be fine.
  14. As far as I know interviews are conducted individually? Also, I was under impression your mother can still attend the interview as scheduled and send medical exams in later as required. That way nothing needs rescheduling. But then, once both parents get their visas they can enter the US together. Some things are just out of your control. For example, even if you reschedule interviews, one parent may take longer to get approved than the other. I see no benefit of rescheduling interview to be on same day, just like I mentioned earlier I think they'd be interviewed separately anyways. Others can correct me.
  15. This means everything is doubted and your case is pretty weak at the moment. That's a serious RFE. What all did you submit in terms of evidence?
  16. Husband will always be the main sponsor and has to file I-864, regardless of current or past income. Immigrant's US based income can be used if it will continue after becoming permanent resident by filing I-864A. I'd still recommend finding a qualified joint sponsor.
  17. I wouldn't expect approvals in less than 2 months. Yes, looks like packages are being opened and obvious problematic cases are being rejected
  18. Just like estimates, this status is highly unreliable. I'd be prepared for everything. Unless GC is being produced nobody can guarantee interview was waived.
  19. You can apply now. You have to provide scans of front and back of GC. You can wait for new GC in the mail or scan current GC. It would be less confusing if you waited for new GC, but overall should be OK to scan expired conditional GC.
  20. Then it can take up to 60 days. Typically 2-6 weeks.
  21. Oh man those are expensive! I hope they get it fixed and you get good service.
  22. Oh no, sorry to hear. What brand?
  23. See the list above in my updated comment. You can also include photos of you together with friends and family over the time. You can include birth certificates of children if you have them. Important stuff: all documents should be in full, ideally not redacted or altered. Not just 1 doc, as many over the time as you can produce. At least this is what I-751 instructions ask for. Good luck!
  24. Of course, you need to provide as much evidence of bonafide marriage as you can. This includes but not limited to: - Full monthly or quarterly statements from joint bank accounts - Full copy of lease agreement(s) over the years showing both of your names - Full copies of tax return transcripts from IRS website showing you file taxes together (Married Filing Jointly) - Copies of DLs / state IDs showing matching address - Full insurance policies showing both names - Flight and hotel reservations showing both names
