Yes, a lot of filers get their biometrics reused. However, don't forget there's new administration coming tomorrow. This may change internal USCIS policies increasing number of people having to do biometrics.

How can USCIS assume you own real estate unless it's mentioned somewhere? USCIS needs everything to be described to them like they're a 6 year old. I'd put this in cover letter. And attach some proof of ownership by trust.

Yes pretty much. This is why overcoming I-751 denial is so important.

Yes, but don't file on the very first day. Wait a few days to ensure there is no denial

1. N-400 petition belongs to LPR, not US citizen spouse. To avoid issues, immigrant should have their own account. 2. You can file by paper if you wish. You don't have to file online. If you file online, you don't need to submit anything by paper. 3. Depends on you. If you're a quick learner you can wait. But it's never a bad idea to prepare early. Official learning material is here: https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/find-study-materials-and-resources/study-for-the-test 4. The best way is when I-751 is decided before N-400 interview. If not, combo interview is the next best. N-400 cannot be decided before I-751. 5. It's fairly simple. Find all of your travel dates before filling application. Same goes with marital evidence and addresses for the past 3 years.

I don't agree with this statement. US does no bar anybody to have multiple citizenships. When you naturalize and become a US citizen, US doesn't require you to give up any other citizenships. It only asks to renounce alligiance to any other country, which is not the same. Frankly speaking, most other countries also require you to renounce aligiance when getting their citizenship, so this is pretty normal. No matter how many other citizenships you may have, US will always perceive you as a US citizen. Even people born in the US and citizens from birth, don't lose US citizenship if they naturalize in other countries later in their life. One can renounce US citizenship after becoming a citizen of other countries, but it requires effort from the citizen. At that point, US citizen will likely have to pay "exit tax" and several fees. The common descriptions of renounciation process include people saying US officials asking multiple times whether citizen really wants to give up US citizenship, and giving several warnings that citizen will lose certain privileges once US citizenship is renounced.

I-751 instructions ask for as much as possible evidence as well as evidence from start date of marriage to current date. OP isn't doing anything wrong. Monthly or quarterly statements - either is perfectly fine to submit

No estimates are accurate. Neither VJ nor USCIS.

You should get IR-1 in passport. If not, you should still get 10 year GC upon entry to the US. If not, can always file I-90 pointing out error by USCIS.

No notarization is needed. Just certified translation. Only for documents issued in foreign language. I also recommend translating documents issued in multiple languages, even if English is one of them.

I wouldn't travel to the US for another 6-9 months to be on a safe side.

Because you're married to US citizen? Even with current ESTA you can be denied entry to the US on next visit. Especially if you travel too frequently for too long.

The best approach is to file I-130 ASAP. The process takes close to 2 years and you don't want to miss any time. You can try applying for ESTA. If denied, your spouse can visit you.

Couldn't agree more with these two statements.

No, it doesn't get cancelled

Yes you can No

Keep us updated please. There's no doubt somebody else will face same issue in the future. Your experience would be super valuable to them.

It seems like you already changed your legal name. You don't have to do it multiple times if you did it in your home country. Just use married name on N-400 form.

This case doesn't look good at all for I-751. USCIS is most likely presuming immigration fraud... What all evidence do you have for marriage between 2016 and 2020?

The big plus of marrying overseas is that the significant other's family can be present at the wedding. Not everybody can get visas and travel go the US for the wedding.

I'd think OP would be a co-sponsor, not joint sponsor, if he and his wife file taxes together.

Typically, 4-6 weeks from mailing date. If it arrived today, you'll hopefully get a mail in 2-3 weeks. May take longer than that too.

Because USCIS IT systems are pretty bad? Did you check online status yourself for your case? Is it up to date? G-1145 is known to be working half of the time.

All sorts of assets can be placed in trusts. It wasn't super clear whether your primary residence was owned by trust.
