USCIS may want to see passport for other reasons other than departure and arrival from the US. You list countries visited and USCIS may want to cross-check information reflected by stamps in your passport. What if you visited North Korea, Cuba, other countries and locations US considers elevated risk? Many countries allow keeping old passport as long as you request it when renewing...

USCIS often doesn't want to accept alternatives such as beneficiary income or assets. Instead of wasting time responding to RFEs and trying to prove you can use these, it's simpler to go with a flow and get a joint sponsor, who is typically accepted with no issues.

Better find a joint sponsor then.

If you're taking about I-751, yes, it can get approved without interview while N-400 is pending. But N-400 requires interview.

I hope you're aware this estimation is worthless? It's totally made up and inaccurate.

Yes he is your family now and has to be listed.

I think this may be down to state / city laws and regulations. I know for sure you can fire guns in Vegas as a tourist at ranges legally.

Did you file I-765? As soon as your spouse gets EAD, he can apply for SSN in SSA in person. Biometrics is usually just the beginning of process. It can take a year after biometrics for I-485 to be approved.

As my profile says, I always advocate for taking the safest approach. Personally, I would only reachedule USCIS interview in one of the following cases: - Wife giving birth - Attending funeral of a close relative - Serious illness - $100000 cash is given on a spot if I attend some event and skip USCIS interview I ask myself, what's the probability of USCIS denying petition due to no show if I attend on time with letter? It's probably under 1%, but even that happens in rare cases. What's the probability of USCIS messing up reschedule request? Definitely lower than 10%, but I'd say could be few percent. Would I want to deal with USCIS error? No. So I'd shift any meeting / trip / event to show up to the interview. But that's me.

Very nice, congratulations! USCIS is improving processes, seems like you benefited from those improvements. Any plans for naturalization? That one for sure requires an interview.

You can try, but you'd have to list any relatives in the US, and it may be hard to overcome immigrant intent being married to a US citizen living in the US.

You don't have to file I-130 again for the same beneficiary if you remain married. Your relationship was established. Denial meaning visa was denied. If you file again with valid proof of domicile, it should get approved. This is my understanding. Others can correct me.

Not reject, but deny. Yes. I-130 will remain approved though.

The total is fine. If you can avoid paying with credit card and pay with the personal check instead - that's much better to ensure credit card transaction won't get denied.

No, approval notice may not be enough. Just wait for GC, it only takes few weeks.

You can get interviewed or it can get waived. GC will probably take about a year from I-485 filing date. Did you file I-131 and I-765 with your AOS?

What do you mean by masked versions? Not showing full name? That's OK, this is official transcript from US government agency. USCIS officers see them all the time.

AFAIK you cannot enter the US on non-immigrant visa when you have immigrant visa in passport. Even if you manage to do it, expect complications in the future.

Did you come to the US on immigrant visa and receive physical GC?

Call > No paper trail No paper trail > No proof Does the tracking number show proof of delivery? Print it / screenshot it. Online status doesn't always reflect the actual status of application.

Don't do it. I'd sign and send on 8/20/2024 earliest. Maybe even 08/21/2024 to be absolutely sure you won't get denied. There's nothing worse than arguing with USCIS over who's right. You're creating a law exam question by doing it. Keep it simple. Good luck!

110 days is blazing fast processing time at USCIS. Just under 4 months...

That's the point. When you provide them in submission, it typically doesn't get asked. But it does get asked (not always) at the interview if you never submitted returns in application.

NYC is super busy. Not surprising. Hang in there!
