Thank you for sharing, I already posted this in normal AOS forum: It doesn't apply to K-1 who had DS-3025 completed with all vaccinations. If they have incomplete vaccinations, yes, they'd have to submit I-693 with AOS.

I posted the link to forum, I hope it helps.

You need more than just I-130 my friend. You also need to file I-130A, I-485, I-864, I-693 and optional forms I-131 and I-765. Moderator, please move to https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/130-adjustment-of-status-from-work-student-amp-tourist-visas/

This tax situation seems a bit messy. Do you have somebody other than mom who can joint sponsor whoever you're sponsoring?

There's nothing prohibiting your or somebody you know to translate, as long as they know both English and your native language. Saying that, online translation services are pretty affordable nowadays. I'd pay somebody $20-50 who translates documents professionally. They have all necessary templates for digital documents, they know how to properly translate all the terms, stamps in documents etc etc.

Yes you can travel. You're LPR with valid GC. You may be asked about whereabouts of your spouse upon entry into the US and why she is not travelling with you. This is all because of category on your GC (marriage based). You may have no questions at all if you're lucky.

Which meal though? Europe used to have Big N' Tasty. This was the best McD Burger ever in my opinion. My update: Beef kebab rice plate with some veggies and hummus.

Why wait a couple of years? You'd lose a couple of years. Just file now. When in 20+ years he'll hopefully be filing for visa (if category still exists), he'll include the child if the child is a dependant at that time

That will probably take a few years I guess?

How did you find the link? If followed: https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/find-study-materials-and-resources/study-for-the-test Found https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/questions-and-answers/OoC_100_Questions_2008_Civics_Test_V1.pdf This is for sure the up to date list of questions and answers.

#2 is the way to go.

Verbal approvals mean little. It is normal, of course bad in a sense it's a delay. Impossible to tell Not at this point. You can wait and support your fiance morally.

I just filed N-400. Because I had a spreadsheet of travel since becoming LPR that I kept up to date, answering questions related to travel was easy.

Case got filed by lawyer. General provision (5 year rule), within 90 day early filing window. Got a one time key to link representative (lawyer) to my account. Once linked, was able to see N-400 case in the list of cases. Got electronic copy of receipt notice immediately, as well as biometrics reuse. All copies of submitted forms (G-28, N-400) are also available online for download. Overall - lawyer's questionnaire contained extra questions that weren't relevant to N-400 such as parents names and their DOB, spouse's employment etc. Looks like they use the same questionnaire for AOS and other types of forms. N-400 itself was easier to complete (I tried myself with test account) then answer their questionnaire 😃 Not complaining, lawyer did a great job communicating back and forth with me correcting forms after reviewing, even though it was during holiday period. I had to ask to include tax return transcripts for the past 5 years. Those got added in additional evidence section. I must admit, N-400 online form is much better than I thought few years ago. Now waiting, not paying attention to estimates etc since they're all wrong. Good luck to all December 2024 filers!

I could bet it won't be 2 weeks!

Sad and true! I hear of people naturalizing with estimate showing "7 months to decision" on the day of their oath.

You get interviewed for visa. Once birth is given, your kid may be a US citizen and you'd need to go through CRBA route to get them US passport.

The thing is, each case is unique and there are many variables... For example, my AOS was relatively fast, around 8.5 months. I was lucky, somebody who filed few weeks after me, probably was affected due to COVID. I got appoved few days before the lockdown started. With I-751, the processing time was 7 months when I filed, but I ended up waiting 20.5 months. All cases in my batch were delayed by 4-5 months. Somebody I know filed case 2 weeks after me and got approved 5 months before me.

Estimates are largely inaccurate. You can safely ignore it.

USCIS used to be more forgiving in general. For example, you could send the forms with 0 evidence and get RFE later in the process. Right now if you do it, you'll likely get denial or NOID. Personally, I always sent the strongest packet I could from the get go including everything, but not everybody does it. The changes make sense.

1 check with total is fine. At least that's how lawyer paid for my AOS and I-751.

If you can avoid paying with credit card, I'd rather pay with personal check or money order. Too many stories of cards flagging charges as fradulent and packet is rejected... If I understand correctly, you only need one G-1450 if filing everything together.

Yes, I corrected my answer as soon as I posted it. Thank you though.

Also, to OP, you may want to also file I-131 with I-485 on paper and definitely I-693, unless you have completed DS-3026 with all vaccinations! Without medical, your I-485 will be rejected.

Yes of course. Just file both on paper and send within one packet.
