  1. Receipt on website is not exactly the same as paper one. Although it's nice to have both, the paper one is the one accepted by DMV / airlines etc.
  2. 03/25 was not that long ago. Give it 4-6 weeks to get paper receipt. That's probably when you should expect online status to work.
  3. Looks like you asked this question in 2022 and got same answers: There will be no action for almost two decades.
  4. No surprise, you have a slightly complicated case - I-751 with abuse waiver. Those cases have a higher bar compared to folks who have joint I-751. Good luck with the interview!
  5. It's miraculous USA has a category for siblings. Most countries don't.
  6. You can sue USCIS for decision (Writ of Mandamus)
  7. I checked again, it is actually 120 days https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-b-chapter-4 Sorry for mistake
  8. It's not like @leignot is going to get an award for picking a harder 3 year rule route? With the same outcome (citizenship) what's the rationale for going 3 year rule route? It's not faster either.
  9. If eligible for 5 year rule, it's not a brainer. 5 year rule wins: simpler, doesn't involve reproving marriage, less evidence required.
  10. Can you upload it again? People always say online filing is so easy and convenient. I guess I'm right fearing it. I thought about scenarios like yours many times.
  11. Many countries allow to get second passport in situations like yours. Have you explored the idea?
  12. They're not processing I-130 simply because they know no visa is available for him for another 5 years or so. Instead they're focusing on immediate relatives (minor kids, parents and spouses of US citizens) plus people who filed several years before 2013.
  13. Generally not an issue. How far did you go with those applications? Did you have an interview? Did you provide any information that is inconsistent with I-130 details?
  14. Some US citizens never been to the US. @Redro is right, the kids may get denied visas because citizens do not need visas to come to the US. If they're citizens, they'll need to get US passports.
  15. Change of status while in the US is a risky enterprise. It can take a while, way past 6 months of authorized stay on B1 to get a decision. If denied, the friend may accrue enough days to get a 1 or 3 year ban. It's much better to fulfill the promise of B1. Return home, apply for F1 and return on it.
  16. You apply for I-130 in any case. Then you'll either be IR1 or CR1 when visa is issued.
  17. Absolutely not. That N-400 is dead on arrival (if under 3 year rule). The spouses have to live in marital union all the way until oath. Divorce in progress contradicts it.
  18. N-400 under 3 year rule is not an option with divorce in progress or finalized. You'd have to notify USCIS about divorce and convert I-751 petition from filed jointly to divorce waiver. If you get I-751 approved without telling USCIS about the divorce, it can become a big problem when trying to naturalize.
  19. Did the RFE mention replying by uploading or did it give instructions for mailing response?
  20. Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your experience. I guess you didn't get extension approved, but the I-751 (Removal of conditions) approved? Extension (I-797) comes automatically after filing I-751.
