Updated marital evidence (joint account bank statements, bills listing both names, lease in both names, insurance policies in both names etc). All IDs and cards issued by USCIS and all passports, whether valid or expired. Also, would help to have spouse coming with you as you're filing based in marriage. Good luck!

This is a very difficult question. Immigration wise, if he's no longer employed with E-2 sponsor employer, he has no legal status to be present in the US. I also not sure if he can get SSI as a non-resident alien. Most likely, not.

Things are changing, and even 3-6 months was more of an exception than rule

He may be, but the question is whether she is prepared to support... Otherwise OP may ask in few months whether adjusting under VAWA is a viable option. OP: expect a difficult interview under new administration. Your case has some red flags in it. The proper way is to leave the US on time, develop relationship, visit each other few more times, and eventually marry and have US citizen sponsor you for GC via CR-1 visa.

You definitely need to attach medical exam results in sealed envelope with I-485 filing. There's new rule saying packet will be rejected if you don't submit I-693. Medicals are good for 2 years but I'm sure you sent sealed medical with previous I-485? So you can ask civil surgeon whether he can produce another one of those envelopes, but I'm pretty sure they'd want to charge you for full medical again.

^ this Officer has discretion whether to accept proof of incomr for 1 year or if doubt, request all 3 years. Qualifying Joint Sponsor seems the way to go to ensure I-485 is approved.

As @Boiler said - for 3 years? Also did you include all pages of all documents you submitted?

Was the proof of soonsor's US citizenship also submitted? How well above 125% minimum the income is?

You filed AR-11 online

Where online?

I don't see a problem getting a PR in Canada. I haven't heard anybody penalized for doing this.

Why do you need a Canadian PR if you're pursuing US LPR?

As they're minors (under 18), they should have became US citizens over a year now if few conditions were met: 1) Kids had Green Cards 2) Kids lived with you and your spouse in the US when spouse became US citizen If those are true, you can apply for their US passports. Also, highly recommended to file N-600 for each kid to have certificate of citizenship for life.

You always need to update address when moving, within 10 days of moving, while you are a permanent resident. Doesn't matter whether it's conditional (2 year) or permanent (10 year) card. Only after you naturalize you don't have to update USCIS about your address changes, unless you sponsor somebody. For that you'll file I-865

Yes it's her form. The account should be hers. No Another option is not to put any account info at all and USCIS can create one as far as I know.

Cannot do I-485 now as the baby is outside of the US. Entering on B2 to adjust is fraud as other respected members of VJ mentioned.

Yes, you can. I believe the fee is $630 (see https://www.uscis.gov/g-1055?form=i-131). Hopefully if you file now it'll get processed by August. No guarantees though. Some receive it in few months, for others it takes longer.

Either way: if didn't get all vaccinations or DS-3025 has typos, the best and probably the only course of action is to get a I-693 done. Whether you'll need X-Ray or not is for civil surgeon to decide. If you don't satisfy USCIS with response to RFE, you'll going to get denial and lose filing fees for I-485.

Divorce attorney would know about divorce timeline. I think that's one of the things to ask him about. And not generic from few weeks to few years, but specific to your case and situation. That's where the value is. Generic stuff we can google ourselves. Obviously, he wouldn't know much about immigration. Are you sure it's real attorney? Is he searchable on https://www.ailalawyer.com/? First time I'm hearing attorney recommending misrepresentation by omission and being chill about it. The worst case the client can get deported...

If joint petition approved while you're separated or divorced - you're in trouble... USCIS may accuse you of misrepresentation next time you need an immigration benefit such as citizenship, renewal or petitioning somebody else. And that can lead to losing GC altogether. How long would a divorce take in your state? Did you speak to a divorce attorney about this?

Sorry to hear what you're going through. It wasn't worth filing jointly. You can either convert existing petition to divorce waiver or file a new I-751 with divorce waiver and withdraw old joint petition. It's important to remember these things: 1) Keep yourself safe 2) Make copies of all docs and keep originals and copies safe 3) Make sure abuser doesn't know your passwords for digital accounts and banking 4) Every time you move you're required to file AR-11 within 10 days of moving 5) Divorce ASAP Divorce waiver petition is typically an easier route. Battery / abuse requires solid evidence and more proof. You can still describe bad treatment from ex in cover letter for I-751 with divorce waiver.

1) Write a cover letter saying you have pending I-751, case # and asking both N-400 and I-751 to be combined. Attach it in additional evidence section. 2) Attach copy of I-751 receipt notice in additional evidence section. There's nothing automatic. You may or may not have combo. Even when asked, it's not guaranteed.

I don't have any I-130 pending. Have N-400, no updates since filing about 3 weeks ago, which is expected.

Thank you for sharing useful insight and instructions! Do you mean biometrics was rescheduled to December 26th? Also, no DL is needed. A valid foreign passport is OK for ID.

OP was last seen on VJ on August 8, 2023
