    Tier 1 know nothing. It may be easy to go outside of the US (Mexico, Canada) and reenter either by air or land. As long as visa is still valid!

    Here's similar report in the past: Even citizens occasionally receive it:

    Yes, this happens from time to time. If you know you don't need to file I-751, you can ignore the reminder. Also, green card is NOT a visa.

    Was I-865 also filed by sponsor in the mail? Sponsors are required to update address with USCIS within 30 days of moving, until LPR becomes a citizen or earns 40 quarters of SSA.

    Please do not rely on generative AI for important matters such as immigration. It is often wrong.

    Verbal approvals and promises mean nothing, sadly. And you cannot pressure USCIS into deciding faster because of your vacation plans. They'll take however long they need to decide the case. Usually people are advised not to plan any international travel until GC is in hand.

    Wow, so three different dates? Typically approval letter is dated same day as Resident Since on GC.

    Just to add to that point @MacPara According to https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/, El Paso processing time is currently within 8 months for 80% of cases.

    Every case is unique. I believe anything under 12 months is normal. Expecting interview within 3 months of filing is elevated expectation in my opinion.

    This is definitely not the usual course of things... I wonder what date GC will have. You'll have to be careful when applying for naturalization. Out of caution, I'd treat later date as the starting point of LPR status for determening when to apply for N-400

    I'm not sure about changing signature, others can comment. But if you can now remove "Wife of" from your new passport, that's good.
  14. OldUser
    1. That's OK, it takes time to establish life. 2. I wouldn't bother with it. The only question is, when was husband added to lease (if you have or had one)?

    1. GE doesn't have direct connection to I-130. UK citizens can apply for GE. 2. No

    Is this a separate entry on bio page? Something like First Name: Jill Last Name: Brown Sex: F Wife of: Stanley ?
  17. OldUser
    You can renew passport, sure thing. Many people do it. You'd use new passport info in DS-160. What's up with "wife of"? What is it all about? Sorry this is not common in all countries.

    I was also on J-1 and other non-immigrant visa. The immigration lawyer who worked with me stressed the importance of maintaining my non-immigrant status. As far as I could tell, filing for adjustment in itself wasn't considered a violation, strictly speaking. Otherwise the answer to question about violating status would have been "yes" by merely filing I-485. This was answered as "no" on forms. I successfully adjusted, successfully removed conditions and successfully became a citizen. It was never questioned. Because I was on work visa with original employer, I never used EAD for employment. After I got GC, I updated I-9 with that document.

    I'd file AR-11. An LPR is required to file AR-11 whenever address changes. I'm not aware of any alternative ways of fulfilling this requirement, such as talking to CBP at POE. It does't hurt doing it online. It only takes a minute. You can save confirmation that's shown after submitting the request.

    Passports, any IDs issued by USCIS, children's birth certificates, house deed(s), lease agreement(s), certified copy of marriage certificate etc. If you had issues with laws, any paperwork related to that.
  21. OldUser
    That's exactly what I did too.
  22. OldUser
    Yep, infamous tier 1 officers. They know as much as we do, sometimes even less.

    For I-129F: - 1 x I-134 to be completed by you, main sponsor - 1 x I-134 to be completed by joint sponsor Once fiance enters the US, you marry and petition for adjustment of status: - 1 x I-864 to be completed by you, main sponsor - 1 x I-864 to be completed by joint sponsor Also, why fiance route and not spousal visa route? Spousal visa may be cheaper. Immigrant is green card holder as soon as enters the US on spousal visa.

    Mine came folded in the mail. Folding is generally not an issue, unless one folds it 10+ times to the point it becomes fragile and unreadable after unfolding.

    I travelled multiple times, I think 4-5 while I-751 was pending. For the most part, it was smooth. You can get a plastic folder from Amazon / stationaries store and keep extension letter in it, saving it from bending and folding too much. Here's thread where people post their experience travelling with extension letters: In general, I'd keep USCIS notices like this in a safe place even after you naturalize, just in case they ever have any queries.
