    Congrats! Did you file with divorce waiver from the start or converted petition later in the process?

    This question emerges from time to time. It's likely you're going to receive GC in mail in 2-6 weeks from now, probably before the trip. No need for stamp. Expired GC and extension letter are probably still OK to reenter the US.

    1) Proof of validity of relationship. E.g. the fiancé is not being sponsored for fraudulent reasons. This is probably majority of pages in OP's evidence. 2) Proof of identities of petitioner and beneficiary 3) Supporting documentation for any convictions in the past 4) Proof both parties are free to marry 5) Proof of the plans to marry 6) Proof of meeting face to face in the last 2 years

    This is not surprising at all. When I had I-751 pending, my case and roughly 100 cases around mine were processed 4-5 months slower than filers who filed before and after us. No rational explanation other than some funky business to help processing times on paper.

    It is somewhat subjective. The burden of proof is always on the petitioner. If it's all relevant proof and not local train schedule, it's all a fair game.

    It does make sense if you think about how immigration process is designed. It's designed to reverify previous decisions at each stage to ensure immigration benefit wasn't given in error. N-400 is the last chance of USCIS to review entire immigration history and make sure they grant citizenship correctly. If they make a mistake - it will be a slow and painful procedure to denaturalize somebody. Previous approvals (visas, GCs) do not mean a new petition, especially N-400 is going to be approved without everything checked once again.

    If you can get the vaccine - get it. Waiver will slow you down and there's no guarantee it will be granted. Immigration costs money.

    100 pages is nothing. My AOS, I-751 packets were over 300 pages each. More good evidence = stronger the case. Stronger the case = less chance for RFE. No RFE = no delay associated with RFE.

    Yes, I'd be searching for a sponsor. Not sure how anyone can survive on this income in 2024, let alone sponsor an immigrant. To estimate this year's income you can multiply monthly income by 12.

    Should have done as part of N-400 filing. You can try, it won't hurt.

    Hi, see this for official tips: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/tips-for-filing-forms-by-mail TL;DR: - Don't staple things - Photos to be printed on regular paper with captions (when, where, who's on photo). Three photos per page is typically good. Who's ownes or pays the lease for apartment? Scans of DLs / state IDs showing matching address would help.

    Tax return transcripts is the bare minimum for 3 year rule N-400. Do include birth certificate for the baby. Any medical bills showing both names? Insurance? What about lease?

    I've been on this forum daily for the past 2 years. I've watched 600+ hours of immigration related videos. I don't see this situation often discussed. Maybe others have solutions, my only advice is to seek legal help.

    I'd suggest lawyering up. This is not a regular everyday case.
  15. OldUser
    This is not odd, it happens all the time. Moving while you wait for anything from USCIS or your case is pending is always a risk. Keep that in mind when filing N-400 or other petitions.
  16. OldUser
    Yes, thousands of people filed in the last week or March, locking in the lower filing fees. USCIS is overwhelmed. Your packet is likely just waiting to be opened. I'd start worrying if nothing happens by end of May
  17. OldUser
    It shouldn't

    K-1 and CR-1 take about the same time to get visa. K-1 will require additional year or so to receive GC. With CR-1 the immigrant becomes LPR faster.

    Doesn't seem like a valid reason for expedite request. Estimates are just estimates, nobody can presict for sure how long it would take.
  20. OldUser
    It will be hard, long and expensive. Why not spousal visa?
  21. OldUser
    Everything is possible. But I'd expect few weeks notice before ceremony. USCIS should send you a letter.
  22. OldUser
    Fewer people => less frequent ceremonies. So yes, they typically take a little longer to get invitation to.
  23. OldUser
    It will be performed in court as far as I know. It should be very similar.
  24. OldUser
    Convincing HR is the hardest part though 😅
  25. OldUser
    So easy to file, so easy to make a mistake. I'll likely go paper for my filing, even though I like technology in general and work in tech 😃
