    Did you check spam folder? Can you update email address after creating account to a different one (not sure if possible)?
  2. OldUser
    Yes, most people's answer is yes. The question is funky in the way it's worded.

    Expunged records are still records for USCIS.

    No and no. Whatever vaccines you are missing are going to prevent you from adjusting status. You simply won't get green card unless you bring paperwork from civil surgeon saying you met all criteria.

    It's ok to be worried, but as long as the father is a eligible joint sponsor, it should be OK. Sponsor should be a US citizen or US LPR, so your parents cannot help much

    Focus more on covering the ongoing events. There's not much value providing 10 pictures from the same day. Give 10 pictures from different days or occasions.

    Whenever you spent 183 days in the US... https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/substantial-presence-test

    In the grand scheme of things it's a smaller factor VS general trend in my opinion.

    Visa is always best. Technically, as a US Green Card allows entry to Mexico, but with mixed success. Make sure to bring marriage certificate to explain name difference on passport and GC.

    Yes, it's almost guaranteed that some people who filed after you will get approved before you. Also a paper applicant filing after you with I-912 may get approved before you. This is not a strict line where everybody gets adjudicated in order of filing. There's many factors and each case is unique.

    NOAs take up to 10 weeks nowadays. It's perfectly normal.
  12. OldUser
    It's normal wait nowadays. Probably nothing to do with waiver itself.

    No, I understand the motive for filing K-3 in hopes to get I-130 approved sooner. But it almost never works. There's nothing in my comment suggesting one is filing K-3 to get it approved. If I understand correctly, you're hoping to start inquiring about K-3 in hopes to unblock I-130. What you're missing is those deadlines for inquiries are often pushed further by USCIS all the time without notice. Even if you start inquring into your case, USCIS is not obliged to act upon your case faster. They are responsible for replying, sure, they reply with generically worded sentences...
  15. OldUser
    K3 rarely works. It's like winning a lottery.

    Did you do all of that before entering US as LPR? If so, did you file US taxes differently for that year? If you did that after moving to the US, did you have to pay taxes to both Netherlands and the US?

    OP is likely experiencing a slow down in issuing receipts for paper filed applications we're observing from reports on VJ. Also, with election season culminating soon, one can anticipate N-400 would no longer be the main focus of USCIS, who will likely start paying more attention to other cases. For those reasons, OP's N-400 adjudication may slow down in comparison to current processing times. It would be unrealistic to expect fast turnaround in that case.

    Here's thread where people discuss travelling with such extension letter - Generally, it's best to show up at airport early as she would have to show this letter to airline staff who will have to verify everything is correct. In my experience, one time a manager had to be called, because employee didn't know how to add 48 months to expiration date on my GC. Also, some people had issues with airlines refusing boarding. It's a small chance but it exists. For that, your wife may need to print copy of Carrier Guide showing what documents are accepted for travel to the US.

    After filing I-751, while in the US, she'll receive I-797 letter (receipt, Notice of Action, extension letter - people call it many ways). It takes anywhere between 4 to 10 weeks to receive the letter in the mail. You also get digital copy in account, but original watermarked letter is needed for travel. Then her GC expiry will be extended by 48 months (4 years). She can then travel internationally with valid passport, expired green card and valid original extension letter.

    You don't typically stop asylum. You get GC based off marriage to US citizen and only then withdraw asylum application. One note: whatever you said in asylum may affect your marriage case. Your entire immigration history is evaluated during adjustment of status. If it's found your asylum was bogus, frivolous or contains misrepresentation, you may need to get waiver to adjust. Waivers are not guaranteed. Good luck!

    If your husband on OPT, doesn't he have EAD based on that? There's many forms to file: - I-130 - I-130A - I-485 - I-864 - I-693 - I-765 (for work authorization, optional but highly recommended) - I-131 (for international travel, optional but highly recommended) Check out the guide for full details. If you file everything today, it will be 3-9 months until he's able to work due to receiving EAD / GC. Sometimes it takes more than a year.

    More precisely, your wife should file sometime between July 2025 and October 2025, depending on when she became a resident (Resident Since date on GC). 1) Go to this website - https://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadd.html?d1=15&m1=10&y1=2025& 2) Enter anniversary date (Resident Since + 2 years) 3) Subtract 90 days using this calculator. You will get the earliest date she can file. Do not file before or the first date of eligibility. To be safe, send everything off few days / weeks after she's eligible to file. Send it before the 2 year anniversary of Resident Since date on GC.
  23. OldUser
    Your wife is not filing for renewal (I-90) which allows filing within 6 months of expiration. Your file will file I-751, Removal of Conditions, within 90 day before expiration of GC.
  24. OldUser
    I assume you filed on paper. Paper applications can take 8-10 weeks to get receipted nowadays.

    If you consult a tax expert, make sure they take a full picture into account. They have to understand taxation in Netherlands AND USA. This is a very specialized and complex area of knowledge, so make sure you get an opinion from a reputable tax specialist.
