  1. I've heard from some callers on Jim Hacking show USCIS sent them RFE despite providing everything they had. Then the callers didn't know what else to send. There's a school of thought saying you can file the strongest case and then not submit anything else. If USCIS RFE, then you can confidently reply with 1 year or more of new evidence. If you already sent new evidence, they can approve it without asking for anything else, or they can be sneaky and still issue RFE to which you'd have to reply. If I was you, I'd keep some evidence up my sleeve.
  2. Everything is possible. Don't forget, there's an election coming and many holidays which can slow things down.
  3. Agreed, I'd disclose those. From what I know, most lawyers also recommend listing them.
  4. You cannot file I-765 or I-131 before I-485. You can file those forms either together with I-485 or later (but attach copy of I-485)
  5. Work with family lawyer and divorce ASAP. All the immigration stuff is secondary. She'll have to meet the high bar set by Removal of Conditions process. Her leaving you shortly after arrival will be a major red flag to USCIS.
  6. The only evidence that has any value is this in my opinion:
  7. Did you ever discuss why? People say bad things just to hurt other people...
  8. This has low value as evidence in my opinion. Did you ever ask why she was unenthusiastic? How long was the flight? Was she flying super economy? Did she have annoying passengers the entire flight? Did she have to travel far to the airport? Was the immigration line long? Was she sad leaving her home? Was she sick, tired or on her period? Did you have an argument before she flew? There's many reasons why she could have been unexcited.
  9. I'm sorry you had to go through this. Few comments about evidence: Moving to the US is expensive. Not that everybody maxes out their cards, but maybe she was paying for things she brought to the US and medical / dental / cosmetic treatments / clothing? I don't see this as evidence of fraud. Maybe evidence of bad financial literacy?
  10. Looks like IT issue at USCIS. Errors 500/503 are server side errors.
  11. Just check case status here without logging in: https://egov.uscis.gov/ MyUSCIS has glitches occasionally.
  12. That's unfortunate. Nothing is really certain until you have approval letter in the mail and physical GC in hand. Looks like either somebody accidentally clicked approval button or the approval needed review from adjudicator's manager who held off confirming the approval. We can only speculate here. Please keep us posted!
  13. Did you move since filing I-751?
  14. You understand this correctly. Passport size photos are not required when you file I-751 while living in the US. I never sent these and got approved.
  15. I-864. Each the primary and joint sponsors will have to complete this form.
  16. It's also possible USCIS would never give you a decision so you give up. Unlikely, but this happens in some rare cases.
  17. Please re-read my message. It explains how many assets the petitioner should have. Assuming the petitioner's income is $20000 and he/she lives in one of the contiguous states with no dependants. The 125% poverty guideline is $25,550. Then for K-1 assets should be: (25550 - 20000) * 5 = 27750 This is the least amount. The more is always the better, but joint sponsor is a solid solution.
  18. Of course. The net value of a petitioner’s assets typically must total at least five times the difference between the petitioner’s household income and the federal poverty level for the petitioner’s household size, or three times the difference, for a U.S. citizen who is petitioning for a spouse or child. However, USCIS is known to disregard assets, so finding a good joint sponsor is always superior option. Here's one experience using assets:
  19. Finding a joint sponsor may be the way to go for the path of least resistance.
  20. Is I-751 based on divorce waiver? Good luck and keep us posted!
  21. This is a good question. I'm not 100% sure, but. I would imagine the results won't be final until then plus isn't there a transition period while the old representative is replaced by newly elected ?
  22. It can. Mine took around close to 21 months end to end. My case wasn't an exception. Some waited even longer. There is a reason why USCIS is issuing 48 month extension letters.
  23. Yes, you can enter with expired GC and valid, original extension letter.
  24. Adjudicator opened your file. Adjudicator looked at it. Adjudicator closed it. You got alert. That's the most likely scenario.
  25. 500/1000 GBP ain't going to cause the headache. You only need to report 10000 USD or more going through your foreign accounts to IRS. If it's below, not much to file.
