  1. No, you can resend everything they sent to you. Just make sure to correct all the issues they outlined.
  2. Verbal approvals are not legally binding. You may need to wait a little more for actual decision. Good luck!
  3. This is normal. I-751 take 2-3 years in a lot of cases nowadays. Most likely you'll get interviewed for both.
  4. You need to be married for 3 years and resident for 3 years to apply, which it seems you are. Did you file I-751? Is it already approved or still pending?
  5. Portland, OR? Processing times currently are 6.5 months, so you're getting close I'd think.
  6. Yes you can get RFE about passport bio page missing.
  7. This is very reasonable wait. Your local field office currently shows 7 months. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ You should get interview December 2024 / January 2025 based on this.
  8. Why is military physician involved here? I've never heard of using them in place of civil surgeon. Are you sure you don't want to file case on your own? I get it you, paid RapidVisa, but you may as well cut your losses here instead of dealing with their mistakes later which can cost you $$$$
  9. Don't ever file for neutralization. Naturalization is what you need. 5 years from 2021 is 2026. Are you applying based on marriage to US citizen? How are you eligible to apply now? Yes, you have to be living in your new state for 3 months before you can apply (if you meet other requirements). Make sure to get local DL etc meanwhile.
  10. Estimated time is hugely inaccurate anyway. Biometrics reuse happening later is totally OK. When I had I-751 pending, my biometrics were reused after about 5 months after filing. However, I've seen many cases stuck in initial received state. Those cases got biometrics reused after 11-12 months and decided before my case and other similar cases with biometrics reused earlier. You cannot read too much into this.
  11. I believe it still can be amended. The extra refund could potentially cover the N-400 fees or more. I guess it depends on how much effort you want to put in. If you don't want to do it - it's your right. It's unlikely going to be an issue. You may be asked about it too (small chance) so be ready to explain. Good luck!
  12. After few incidents of airlines losing my bags, I mostly travel with cabin bags even internationally, as I can live off that bag for 2 weeks. I rarely travel for 2+ weeks at a time, and when I do I just go to restroom / get coffee / check emails in baggage area. So GE makes sense... Plus TSA Pre benefits it comes with are useful.
  13. The burden of proof is always on you, not on USCIS. For them to grant any immigration benefit, you need to serve all the evidence on a silver plate. You need to make it all super clear and obvious, as you may have figured already.
  14. Have you consulted a lawyer on this matter?

  16. As you can see, stocks etc don't make the difference. Just find a qualifying joint sponsor.
  17. Do you want to risk it? Why not just cash it and get a fresh one or better use personal check?
  18. Yes, unless you want to get RFE. Treat your rejected packet as if USCIS never seen your case. If you miss some forms or evidence in second submission, your packet will get rejected or RFEd again.
  19. Yep, no need to ever burn bridges.
  20. He is meant to put physical addresses of where he stayed for long periods of time. If he officially studied and lived there, he should have put in on DS-260. There's no penalty for stating the truth, there's no need to match the answers to address on DL he should have updated... What is he going to say if during interview officer would ask: "Your school was 2.5 hrs away, did you commute every day while studying"? Just answer questions directly and literally. Not to fit some "official" versions of truth.
  21. Here's example of a person who got 2 SSN due to checking box on DS-260 and applying in person: What @M plus D described is possible. I could find some links, I'm sure I've seen reports of this before. You can't deny people get robbed in the streets even if you or your close ones never personally were. Same here. It happens to small percentage of people. Only you can choose your risk tolerance level. You asked about the preferences, and @M plus D gave you their preference. Your preference may be to apply on I-485 form and it's OK too.
  22. @M plus D gave you some good reasons to prefer getting SSN yourself at SSA. There's always margin for error and delays due to multiple agencies working on request (USCIS and SSA). The ultimate choice is yours. If you applies for EAD you might as well apply for SSN through forms. There's pros and cons to each approach. There is no right or wrong.
  23. This is a possibility. I'd either request on forms and wait it out or This is pretty optimistic. Letters can take 4-6 weeks to be received including GC.
