    You were given wrong information. If you read VJ, you'll see people complaining occasionally that they only see some not all evidence in their account for IOE cases. This proves evidence is scanned. Official guidelines discourage use of highlighters: "Do not use highlighters or correction fluid or tape. The scanners we use will not properly read information that is greyed out, highlighted or corrected using correction fluid or tape."

    My personal opinion only: it's best to stick one name. Either both GC and passport should have married name or both should have maiden name. Mixing names is not practical in everyday's life. You should apply for GE using name on your GC.

    Why not update passport first with married name and then apply for GE?

    When OP applied in 2021 the extension letters were either 18 or 24 months. So once it expires, you need to get a stamp.

    Bring everything. You don't want to be lacking evidence if officer decides to ask you for some.

    Same packet as I-485?
  7. OldUser
    When did you file I-765?
  8. OldUser
    Not a problem. Can always give up to date list at N-400 interview

    Congratulations! For privacy reasons you were better off blurring the last 5 digits of case. The first few digits can be guessed based on when you filed (December 2021)

    You can also look into internship programmes (there's very few), which often mean coming on temporary J-1. If you do well, employer can sponsor you for H-1B. Another option is to get bachelors degree at a US university, work on OPT and see if an employer is willing to sponsor you then.

    There's no downside to listing that shorter version of name on the forms. No need to indicate whether account is active or inactive. He was asked for details, and he provided them.

    You mean I-129F? My understanding is your packet will get rejected and you'll receive it back within 4-6 weeks.

    Consider finding a joint sponsor. Assets are harder to get accepted, especially beneficiary's assets.

    When married, the only valid options are: - Married Filing Jointly - Married Filiing Separately Filing Single is not an option when you're married.

    If you have valid green cards, you should be able to reenter. Especially with one way tickets, employment in the US and the US citizen kid. Usually a US citizen child doesn't grant any benefits for parents on tourist visas etc, but you're LPRs. Bring all the paperwork, stay cool, friendly and firm so CBP sees you're coming for good.

    I think your evidence looks good. Co-mingled finances and joint leases is exactly what USCIS looks for. I-751 instructions ask for evidence since date of marriage but many sent only evidence since becoming LPR and got approved.

    4-6 weeks after approval

    Each case is individual. Your mileage can vary but you can see https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ for more details.

    I think there should never be expired Green Cards in the first place. Extension letters, stamps etc confuse other countries and airlines. USCIS should be printing limited term green cards whenever somebody is waiting for N-400, renewing GC or waiting for I-751.

    I'm sorry you're going through this. USCIS can only assure you can leave and reenter the US on I-551 stamp. They cannot assure you can transit via other countries with the stamp / green card / anything else. Those are details the traveller must check independently before planning the trip.

    Did you see the screenshot I posted? It's from UK government website. They set the rules who and how can transit through their country. They do not accept wet I-551 stamp.
  23. OldUser
    US cannot set the rules for other countries. UK doesn't seem to allow transit with the stamp. Travel through different country that accepts I-551 stamp for transit.
  24. OldUser
    I think airline staff is right this time. Citizens of Kenya cannot transit via UK without visa or valid GC or GC + extension letter. Stamp is not valid.

    This explains why I never seen this issue personally. I never checked status of application by logging in. Always using public status page not requiring to sign in.
