    You'll need a joint sponsor then.

    It is indeed cruel, but even if you were allowed to contact them more frequently, they'd say stuff like "your case is still being processed". USCIS doens't have enough resources to get calls more frequently. Also, most of the times there's not much agents on the phone can do. It's almost like it's a phycological helpline you can call to get somebody to listen to your frustration. Guess what, we have VJ for this 😅

    No, if you only stayed at his address few days a week but your main address was your parent's address, you don't need to list it.

    When applying for citizenship, USCIS will look at the trips in the last 5 years. This is why the recommendation is to wait 5 years from last long trip, so it won't be covered in statutory period when N-400 is reviewed. Since OP was allowed into the US as LPR by CBP and not given NTA, it was determined that LPR status wasn't abandoned.

    Congrats! Glad CC didn't get declined.

    This is normal. Give it 4-8 weeks

    Congratulations! Which office had same day ceremony?

    Did you note officer's name? You could, in theory, write a letter outlying facts to see if it helps them to make a decision.

    Right, what's wrong with cutting all ties to home country right before or right after coming to the US. Especially if there may have been no real ties afterall. I'm not being sarcastic, you may get an interview and get asked these questions by officer. Your case looks suspicious. It may invite more scrutiny. It may sail through. We're just pointing out potential issues based on fact pattern you shared.

    Whichever route you pick, you'll have to prove relationship and marriage. Combining finances is beneficial for many other reasons outside immigration. Not comingling finances definitely makes USCIS job harder as it's one of the fraud indicators they have to check.

    The SS card can be updated to remove wording even as a conditional LPR. In this case it will be identical to SS card any US citizen has. But there will be update to database when becoming US citizen if checkbox on N-400 was checked or you go to SSA to update information.

    One is an official watermarked document, and the other one is a copy for your convenience. As far as I know USCIS prefers working with original documents, not copies. I know for sure copies work half of the time or less when used to get any government benefit. Maybe most USCIS office security would give it a slack and accept as document to enter government building, but some stricter folks would want to see original watermarked doc and not something anybody can print at home. Just like most USCIS officers would insist to see original passport and not copies. Just like a police officer would want to see your real Driver License not a copy. Even though information is identical on copies and originals.

    Welcome to the club! 90 someting percent of USCIS operation is funded by fees, not funds sent by government. They are not going to be affected much.

    You know your office based on where you live. NBC is not going to send case to local field office until they have capacity to process it. E.g. NBC is waiting for office to say "send me the next batch of cases, I can work on them now". That's my understanding. This is why processing times are measured by office https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

    Sure, otherwise if it was rejected, you wouldn't be charged

    Awesome! Receipts can take few weeks to arrive. I'd expect either between Xmas and NYE. If not, then first or second week of January.
  18. OldUser
    I see. Good luck and keep us updated! Maybe somebody else who went this route will comment.

    Many folks file N-400 and this eventually unblocks I-751. WoM is not very common for I-751, as far as I know. 3 years is long, but definitely not a record. @Crazy Cat's wife I-751 case took 4 years I believe? Did you file WoM yourself or with a lawyer?

    Are August folk's cases in the same office? This is office specific.

    This is a good question. If they were a biological child though, in many cases they'd be US citizen by operation of law (either born in the US or got citizenship through CRBA)

    Never heard of CAS.... ASC stands for Application Support Center https://egov.uscis.gov/office-locator/

    Check this out, based on what I see, child can apply under 3 year rule. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/fact-sheets/DO_FactSheet_NatzForVAWALawfulPermResidents_V3_508.pdf

    Is the child a minor or adult?

    Many people's cases get approved blazing fast without K-3. Some I-485, I-751 and N-400 get approved within 2-3 months, whereas majority of cases take much much longer. There's no K-3 involved there and in most cases no congressman inquiries take place either. It's a lottery, with small percentage of people getting approved faster due to luck. Whether to believe K-3 helping or not is a personal choice. Logically, it doesn't make sense at all. Why would USCIS prioritize people who filed a free form? Where does it say in instructions / manuals for USCIS K-3 filers should get approved faster?
