    Sadly, with AOS it's possible to wait over a year with no income from immigrant. This is the largest drawback of adjusting most people ignore... I hope you get good news soon!

    @mw & rg k1 I-131 is only useful if you're planning staying outside of the US for extended periods of time, typically over a year. There is no value in getting it otherwise. CBP can make entry somewhat difficult to any LPR, even with reentry permit. But they cannot deny entry to LPR. Good luck!

    Long or short originally included?

    And get RFE? Full docs to be provided. Anything partial has potential for RFE and delays.

    I also find strange the page saying they'd return it. I think they meant to say they won't return it.

    It's worth trying. It's free. Seems like you have a medical reason.

    It's possible to ask for expedite, but expedites are not guaranteed.

    USCIS specifically asks NOT to use binders: Please do not submit evidence using digital media, photo albums, scrapbooks, or binders. We cannot process them and will return them to you. Source: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/tips-for-filing-forms-by-mail Submitting cases in binders slows down everybody as USCIS has limited resources. Somebody will have to be taking these pages out of binder. Doesn't seem like a lot of work, maybe 1-2 minutes extra to do it per case. But if thousands of people send evidence in undesired format, this translates to hours and days of extra work for USCIS collectively. These hours would be better used for other tasks then opening improperly assembled packets.

    K-3 is an urban myth. I haven't seen any compelling and consistent evidence it speeds up I-130 approvals. There's no logical explanation why free form would expedite processing and put somebody's case before others.

    They can try. They must be honest if asked any questions by CBP. CBP always has the final say whether they can enter the US or not.

    It's normal. Some cases never see this status at all. It's a filler status posted by USCIS when nothing visible happens. Add 13-17 months to December 17, 2024. If it's a typical case, it will hopefully be approved between late January 2026 and late May 2026. Can be sooner, can be later. It's not exact science.

    Anything that proves relationship. Wills, insurance (car, house, renter's, medical) showing both names, house title or mortgage statements showing both names, birth certificates of children born in this marriage, flight and hotel reservations showing both names etc etc Do you have everything listed by @Crazy Cat?

    You can ignore AI advice, especially when consulting about serious matters such as immigration. You can ask GROK what hallucinations are when it comes to AI. It will explain it TL;DR AI can "hallucinate" and make things up

    Yes, it is a known issue unfortunately. It's recommended getting SSN before getting married while I-94 is valid. The next chance - when you get EAD. Or when you get GC.

    Sorry to hear about parent, that's tough. If you're not moving to the US yet, you don't need visa or GC. You may need to reapply when your plans change and you're ready to move.

    Yep, endorsement is when it's stamped by CBP. If it's not endorsed, it doesn't serve as temporary I-551. Consulate did the job and issued visa. It's not their job beyond this point, they're not responsible on how you enter the US or what you do with it. After you enter on immigrant visa, it's then USCIS's responsibility to issue GC as long as you entered properly and paid fees.

    It is indeed a very short notice. Usually more notice is given, your office may be super busy and they found a slot after somebody rescheduled their oath. Good luck!

    Immigrant should open their own USCIS account. Online change of address (AR-11) is for immigrant. She'd need her own account also to renew green card (I-90) or file for naturalization (N-400) As a sponsor, you're also required to update USCIS with your address changes by filing I-865 within 30 days of moving. It's paper only as of today.

    No tracker is accurate, sadly.

    I-130 takes 13-17 months plus some time to get case from USCIS to NVC to embassy and go through interview. On a good side, the moment she enters the US on immigrant visa, she's LPR who has freedom of working and travelling internationally. If you were to take fiance route, she can enter the US a bit quicker, but will be stuck potentially for over a year without ability to work or travel internationally.

    What is date on notice? Is it just USPS taking long time to deliver letter?
  25. OldUser
    If this is the only thing holding you back - you should really apply for citizenship as soon as you're eligible. Many naturalized without ever seeing their 10 year GC. N-400s go relatively fast now, it may change in the future.
