  1. They didn't look because you brought it The ones who come unprepared are typically asked for evidence.
  2. You cannot file I-485 online. Only by mail. So since you'll be filing I-485 by mail, file I-130 and all other forms such as I-693 by mail. Send it all together. You must include I-693 with I-485. Your application will be rejected without it. And a little bit of legal detail... The only forms filed by US citizen are I-130 and I-864. All other forms including I-693, I-485 are filed by immigrant beneficiary.
  3. This would be super valuable. By the way, to save you from doing it all over, you can create a dummy account with different email address to test. No need to sacrifice your work!

    B2

    She's not permitted to enter B2 to help with childcare. It violates the terms of visa. Don't ruin your sister's US immigration history. Whether she will be approved or not depends whether she can convince US consulate she won't overstay in the US.
  5. By the way, why are you and not the spouse is completing the form? N-400 is her petition. She is expected to know in and outs of her case and all answers on the form. She's expected to know English and understand everything since she's seeking to become a US citizen.
  6. You can submit. For marriage based case you're recommended to come to USCIS office for the interview. Most likely, you won't be needed, but occasionally officer needs to talk to US citizen spouse too. For general provision, US citizen isn't required to attend at all. Your spouse may need to answer deeper questions about marriage and you if filing under marriage rule. Overall timeline for case may be longer based on 3 year rule, as it requires officers who know how to conduct it, more evidence needs to be reviewed and more checks into bonafide marriage may be needed.
  7. Extensively and work
  8. It depends whether your citizenship allows you to visit the US without visa on ESTA or you have to apply for B1 / B2 visitor's visa. Don't be suprized if ESTA or visa is denied though. You need to disclose US based relatives on application as well as whether anybody sponsored you. Once DOS learns you have US citizen spouse, your chances of approval will reduce.
  9. Nice, good luck and thank you for sharing the timeline!
  10. You attended an in person interview at some physical USCIS local field office? This is what I meant by office, like city where it's located
  11. Yes, I-485 is only for people filing inside the US already. Yes, consular processing is slow, especially in certain countries.
  12. Why concurrent filing is not an option? Is petitioner an LPR? Or beneficiary in removal proceedings?
  13. January 9th of which year? September 30th of which year?
  14. You can get urgent passport, in person visit is required. Do not apply during ceremony as it will be regular processing time. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/get-fast.html
  15. He applied before you on August 2023 and not yet approved.
  16. Estimates shown in MyUSCIS are known to be inaccurate. Here's recent example: What VJ community is observing is around 15 months for I-130. This means you should get decision within few months. By the way, there's a few August 2023 filers still waiting:
  17. Did officer say it's not a real job? Or did you not disclose it? Any job is a real job.
  18. Agreed, it won't hurt doing that. But I'd also send physical letter as requested in RFE.
  19. That's really bad. I'd: 1) Ask for all original notices and papers this lawyer has for your case. 2) File G-28 removing this lawyer to ensure all future documents and notices go to your address 3) Try get money back for his services, at least 50% 4) If not, file a BAR complaint as he misguided you Yes I mean send response with certified mail or UPS / FedEx with proof of delivery. But you can also, in addition, upload digital copies of everything you're sending by mail, in Unsolicited Evidence section for your I-751 case online.
  20. You don't necessarily need a lawyer based in Canada. Just search AILA https://www.ailalawyer.com/ Those lawyers are reputable.
  21. Wow this is super fast! Which office?
  22. That's great, looks like she already got approved... I-751 status sometimes doesn't get updated by officer.
