  1. Unlikely. You're most likely citizen of both countries. You can hire a reputable lawyer in Pakistan who would know for sure whether you're a dual national or not. To give up / lose citizenship you typically need to work with government of citizenship, pay fees etc. If you never submitted any paperwork to Pakistani authorities to renounce your citizenship, you likely still have it.
  2. Around 14 months to get I-130 approved. Then additional time for actual interview to be scheduled and visa issued.
  3. Great, is there a question?
  4. Just accept the fact you have 5 offences to disclose. Not disclosing them can have negative consequences for your immigration. Sometimes it's the misrepresentation, not the actual offences that get people in trouble.
  5. You can. Or you can use old checks. Or get new checks first. I don't think this matters much.
  6. The best thing you can do is divorce ASAP if this is what you want. Then you can provide evidence the marriage was bonafide and entered in good faith, just didn't work out. You don't need to stay married for immigration, it's a bad idea.
  7. Why does it matter? If he's not coming and you notified embassy there's nothing to do.
  8. https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/tips-for-filing-forms-by-mail
  9. This is a common thing with online form. If you're married, living together and child lives with you - the answer should be "No" as far as I know. When it says "support" it means "child support"
  10. I highly doubt it USCIS would question this.
  11. Switching payment method to joint account shouldn't be a major challenge. I wouldn't think it's critical, but why not?
  12. I agree with @Sukie it won't make sense to refinance etc to add spouse's name. However, adding name on utility bills doesn't cost anything. It's easy to do and will provide benefits such as proving address for Real ID, or proving residence for N-400 if questions arise. DL on it own may not carry the day. I don't see any downsides adding name tomorrow on utility bills. If you're sick in hospital, or pass away, surviving spouse will have easier time managing all bills. So many reasons to do it if you share life together.
  13. Well, K-1 can only be filed by US citizen and it will require proving US citizenship. This petition was approved, hence citizenship was established for I-129F but somehow was required again for I-864 when filing I-485. What I'm saying it doesn't hurt proving petitioner's citizenship with I-864. If anything, it's benefiting. As other thread showed, RFE specifically asked for main petitioner's proof of citizenship. I-864 instructions also call for evidence to be provided: "For U.S. citizens or U.S. nationals, a copy of your birth certificate, passport, or Certificate of Naturalization or Citizenship. " Source: https://www.uscis.gov/i-864 It's strange to hear advice not to include something that has to be provided as per instructions?
  14. Here's somebody got denied for not proving main sponsor's citizenship in I-864 as one of the reasons. I assume they had to prove citizenship to get I-129F approved? Is this different?
  15. Yes it is different view. Just for fun, you can create a dummy account with random email, fill the form (but not submit) yourself online and you'll see some answers will be blank as not required. What you're seeing is normal. I'm in process of filing N-400 with lawyer too.
  16. I see the A number isn't listed for your spouse. I think you should list it. It's found of certificate of naturalization.
  17. The question is definitely asked on online form when filing under 3 year rule If the lawyer said Yes (same address), then it would show blank. This goes to any questions where answers are not applicable.
  18. No way of knowing for sure... Maybe it gets updated when case status changes... Maybe when somebody looking. Maybe when internal system scans attachments for viruses and give green light. It's a black box. Did you have a status change?
  19. Where do you see a question about spouse's employment? You mean spouse of US citizen serving US military? It's not applicable to you. Also, just to make sure you're understanding is right... N-400 is filed only by lawful permanent resident, it's their form. US citizen spouse isn't filling this form. All the questions are for green card holder.
  20. So if you answer question 4a as Yes, why would you need to provide spouse's address? Is it same ss yours?
  21. This is good evidence. You should really add spouse on utility bills if you can for reasons even outside immigration. As to no spouse's name on statements, are you sure it's not burried elsewhere in the statement? Sometimes address doesn't show both name, but inside of statement joint owner's name may appear. Can you get any letter from bank saying your spouse was added as joint account holder as of some date?
  22. No, SSN is not enough. Students on F-1 visas, professionals on work visas and LPRs are only some people who also have SSNs besides US citizens. Many more non US citizens have SSN. To prove US citizenship, you can submit copy of US birth certificate, or naturalization certificate or US passport. The petitioner should always submit I-864 with all evidence of financials and proof of US citizenship. Same goes for joint sponsor.
