    They can try. They must be honest if asked any questions by CBP. CBP always has the final say whether they can enter the US or not.

    It's normal. Some cases never see this status at all. It's a filler status posted by USCIS when nothing visible happens. Add 13-17 months to December 17, 2024. If it's a typical case, it will hopefully be approved between late January 2026 and late May 2026. Can be sooner, can be later. It's not exact science.

    Anything that proves relationship. Wills, insurance (car, house, renter's, medical) showing both names, house title or mortgage statements showing both names, birth certificates of children born in this marriage, flight and hotel reservations showing both names etc etc Do you have everything listed by @Crazy Cat?

    You can ignore AI advice, especially when consulting about serious matters such as immigration. You can ask GROK what hallucinations are when it comes to AI. It will explain it TL;DR AI can "hallucinate" and make things up

    Yes, it is a known issue unfortunately. It's recommended getting SSN before getting married while I-94 is valid. The next chance - when you get EAD. Or when you get GC.

    Sorry to hear about parent, that's tough. If you're not moving to the US yet, you don't need visa or GC. You may need to reapply when your plans change and you're ready to move.

    Yep, endorsement is when it's stamped by CBP. If it's not endorsed, it doesn't serve as temporary I-551. Consulate did the job and issued visa. It's not their job beyond this point, they're not responsible on how you enter the US or what you do with it. After you enter on immigrant visa, it's then USCIS's responsibility to issue GC as long as you entered properly and paid fees.

    It is indeed a very short notice. Usually more notice is given, your office may be super busy and they found a slot after somebody rescheduled their oath. Good luck!

    Immigrant should open their own USCIS account. Online change of address (AR-11) is for immigrant. She'd need her own account also to renew green card (I-90) or file for naturalization (N-400) As a sponsor, you're also required to update USCIS with your address changes by filing I-865 within 30 days of moving. It's paper only as of today.

    No tracker is accurate, sadly.

    I-130 takes 13-17 months plus some time to get case from USCIS to NVC to embassy and go through interview. On a good side, the moment she enters the US on immigrant visa, she's LPR who has freedom of working and travelling internationally. If you were to take fiance route, she can enter the US a bit quicker, but will be stuck potentially for over a year without ability to work or travel internationally.

    What is date on notice? Is it just USPS taking long time to deliver letter?
  14. OldUser
    If this is the only thing holding you back - you should really apply for citizenship as soon as you're eligible. Many naturalized without ever seeing their 10 year GC. N-400s go relatively fast now, it may change in the future.

    You need to attach copy of I-130 receipt. I think it asks for copy of I-94 too. Here's full list: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/checklist-of-required-initial-evidence-for-form-i-765-for-informational-purposes-only

    The best you can do it let your partner learn it. You're not even his parent to be checking his work. He can also join VJ and spend his own time understanding how immigration works. Beyond forms I-129F and I-864, every other from filed techically belongs to immigrant, not US citizen spouse. Good luck!

    Either hire lawyer and follow their advice or listen to VJ users and follow their advice. In my opinion, no downside to listing this. At least you're transparent and upfront. If it's not an issue, officer will appreciate your openness. You can ignore parking tickets, but moving violation is typically recommended to be reported.

    I believe it's Nebraska, since it really matters who received your case, not who sent you online access code. I-130 for spouses take 13-17 months. You may see some movement in the next few months.
  20. OldUser
    It's a classic one. Whenever you bring tons of documents, you don't get asked for it. But if you come emptyhanded - that's when officer is eager to see more evidence. The moral of the story, in my opinion, is to bring evidence to make officer unmotivated to ask for evidence

    Congratulations and thank you for detailed report!

    Most N-400s take under a year nowadays. I got naturalized in 3.5 months. Good luck!

    How long ago was I-90 filed? It takes 4-8 weeks from filing to getting receipt in the mail. If you don't receive some letters after 8 weeks that's worrisome. What happens if GC gets lost too?
  24. OldUser
    Both can be true. Depending on state and county, you get asked for SSN to get license. If you have it, you provide it. If you don't have it, you say "I don't have it". It's best to get SSN before marrying though. Because SSA staff become reluctant to issue SSN once married until you have EAD. The reason is, I-94 becomes invalid the moment K-1 fiance marries. Their K-1 status is based on them being unmarried from what I understand.

    Sadly, it does take a long while for some I-90. Any plans to naturalize? Most likely, you would have been a citizen by now if you filed N-400 at the time you filed I-90. And with N-400 you would have gotten 24 months extension for your GC for free.
