    Can you get original copy again easily in Japan if you need to? If the answer is yes, then get in translated again and send it along with translation. This will ensure there's no more confusion.

    Unfortunately the work permits they have won't be valid if I-485 applications are denied. It is only valid with pending applications. Yes. And you'd pay all the fees again for I-485, work permit etc.

    Nothing else. Keep updating addresses, paying taxes, and apply under 5 year rule. You may get some scrutiny especially if marriage fell apart shortly after coming to the US. If you have evidence of joint life, please keep it in your pocket for naturalization if this is ever asked for.

    What do company lawyers say? Are they aware of your F2 petition?

    More like 4-8 weeks nowadays unfortunately

    Yes, this means 10 year GC is being produced. You should get it in few weeks. Congrats!

    People get anxious when they don't have an idea of how long the process is going to take. This is somewhat similar to earlier versions of Windows. Think of those installation, update estimates or downloading files over phone modem... The estimated time to completion jumped there from few minutes to several hours and back too. It kind of gives a false sense of progress. I'd ditch this feature altogether at USCIS, because the process is so unpredictable.

    I'd keep mailing address consistent if you have access to it and not sure how long you're going go stay in Virginia. There's always a possibility of USCIS sending mail to one of the old physical addresses too. So it helps if you can reduce number of moves too somehow. Good luck!

    Estimations on website are just estimations. They're largely inaccurate. You can roll a dice and get a better prediction.

    It's free to try

    No need to mention it on the address history then. It's not much different from you going to places and staying at hotels on a weekend

    The physical letters are important. Many USCIS letters are printed on protected watermarked paper. And many places don't accept self printed letters from USCIS account.

    It could be that anytime somebody at USCIS opens a case this message is generated. It's possible they opened the file, checked it and closed without approving or doing anything else.

    Where do you physically spend most of your time?

    This is very important question which determines whether OP should be filing I-90 at all or needs to focus on I-751.

    Where does this expectation come from? Half of the times no notification sent even with correctly filed G-1145 form. In a sister thead people waiting for updates for over a month. USCIS is backlogged and slow unfortunately. Hopefully you'll get the mail from USCIS sometime by end of July / mid August. That's how bad it got unfortunately.

    These ghost updates happen to people from time to time. There's nothing to worry about. It appears like it's a USCIS IT system glitch. Just search VJ and you'll find similar reports.

    Pretty much all cases filed after some point in 2023 start with IOE. This means they're in electronic system. This is why you'd see documents in your USCIS account. Previous filers didn't have this luxury and had to always wait for letters to understand what's going on with their case. It doesn't necessarily mean your case will get processed faster. Good luck!

    4-8 weeks after your packet was delivered to USCIS. Extension letter, NOA1, notice of action, receipt is all the same names for the same document.
  20. OldUser
    If you have everything you have nothing to worry about.

    There's definitely bias towards men and especially men from certain countries. They generally require more proof, so WAVA case needs to be super strong.
  22. OldUser
    Looks like a sneaky ping from USCIS. Definitely reply, as these guys can deny you for not replying to empty RFE...

    Ideally, the name change should have taken place at N-400 stage to simplify immigration process. The biggest issue you will have is with airlines and authorities overseas.
  24. OldUser
    Many airlines would not board with the copy either, so she has to have original from the moment she boards the plane to entering the US and interacting with CBP.
  25. OldUser
    You can and should use Global Entry to enter the US. It will be faster this way. As to no problems, nobody can guarantee this. But you probably will have minimal issues if any.
