    Tier 1 reps tell all sort of nonsence all the time, unfortunately. And the worst thing is: you cannot hold them accountable. There's so many people who followed bad advice from those folks only to find VJ was more factually accurate source of information. Travelling with original extension letter is challenging from time to time, let alone a copy.

    Unless it's a dream job or position in very niche industry, I wouldn't bother continuing employment with the firm based in NZ. Here are the reasons: 1) You cannot legally work until you get SSN + EAD (after marriage and filing AOS packet) 2) When you have SSN + EAD, is the pay competitive with what US employers offer? Coming from Europe I found salaries are higher in the US for skilled workers on average. 3) Are you ready to deal with tax implications related to working for remote employer in another country? 4) Don't you want to build US work experience to strengthen your employability in the future? 5) What timezone are you going to be working in? Is it worth it? 6) US employers provide medical insurance (very expensive). Are you going to pay it yourself? Seems like you did a good job and your boss doesn't want to lose you, but sometimes it's just time to move on When I was leaving to the US on work visa, my boss back in Europe was jokingly asking whether I can take him to the US 😂

    Many people report seeing "Action was taken" with no visible changes. That's either a glitch on USCIS end or something internal. Maybe it gets send whenever your file is open (not necessarily when action was taken)

    That's different PayPal product to what OP is attempting to use.

    You seem to expect: 1) USCIS work fast and provide consistent experience 2) People on USCIS help line to tell you truth Neither is true... 4-6 weeks for checks to get cleared and receive notice in the mail is the norm. I wouldn't worry about checks clearing or receiving notice in the mail until May 5th or so.

    You can learn more on thread attached. Essentially, you cannot do much without joint sponsor.

    These numbers are random, it's safe to ignore them.

    You can change answers / make corrections at the interview. Just bring the errata sheet and evidence. I'm not 100% sure they count as citations, but disclosing won't hurt 99.9%

    Yes he's allowed to travel more. He will be asked about international travel at N-400 interview and before the oath so he'll have opportunity to give updates. There's two things to remember: - Trips over 180 days (in a single trip) break continuous residency for naturalization purposes - Combined he should spend more than half of the time in the US in the last 3 or 5 years (depending on which rule he naturalizes). The more time in the US the better.

    I wonder if a "pre-game" is an option before N-400 interview? 😅 Of course not being serious here. Did you try chatting non stop lon the way to the interview? I find this type of "warmup" useful before presentations etc.

    File I-131 form (fees apply)

    Essentially you can be thrown out of that apartment any moment without warning. I wouldn't want to live like that. Get on a lease, @Redro is right.

    Only original. Copy is a gamble. Airline staff may deny boarding with a copy.

    Are you sure proof is required? AFAIK only listing is required but not proof typically? You have to be honest though and not list some random addresses.

    As a F-1 student it's a big no. Only US citizens can register to vote.

    You must give them evidence of bonafide marriage otherwise USCIS is going to deny your case. What evidence did you submit so far and what are you planning to submit in response to RFE?

    You don't need boarding foil if you have extension letter and expired GC.
  18. OldUser
    You can only wait for extension letter or apply for boarding foil (expensive)

    I think I provided as much help as I could. Good luck!

    I-90 and divorce are not connected directly.
  21. OldUser
    Probably not, but there's always a chance. Are we going in circles?

    Uknown if you don't know. Sorry about the whole situation!

    Which part is not true? https://edition.cnn.com/2019/07/25/us/us-citizen-detained-texas/index.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2022/05/13/border-detentions-mistaken-identity-ice-cbp/ There was a whole thread somewhere on VJ where one of the former VJ members @Mike E gave a lot more examples of CBP detaining US citizens while figuring out whether they're US citizens and can be admitted. CBP even published report on how many citizens were held in CBP custody over 24 hours. CBP_-_U.S._Citizens_Held_in_CBP_Custody_0.pdf

    What size? I switched from Queen to King and it seemed to help a bit? '😅

    Everything is possible. Especially if your spouse / ex spouse writes a letter to USCIS to say you married for GC. The most investigation you will get at N-400 stage. USCIS can ask you for proof of being married over 2 years when you entered to issue 10 year GC. If you are involved in something that violates the laws, you should stop now, abandon the case and leave US.
