    Amazing! Congratulations!

    You're always responsible for what goes in the form and you should be checking forms before submitting to USCIS. You can blame lawyer, but USCIS won't buy it. You cannot go back in time and fix it. There's no other forms you need to file, other forms are filed by your immigrant spouse. If you never sponsor anybody again, it shouldn't be a problem. What other errors were made?

    The government view is, immigrant visas are for reuniting US petitioner and foreign beneficiary. It doesn't make sense to issue visa to beneficiary if US citizen isn't going to be living in the states So the best course of action is to reestablish domicile - get job lined up (offer), get lease or house, register to vote etc to demonstrate you're intending to live in the US. You need to have this after I-130 is approved and before visa interview.

    It is painful, but tax returns can be amended in the future to get money back.

    This is state specific. Some states require local licenses after x days in the state. Hopefully they gave an answer after research, not just blanket statement.

    Yes, you're reading status right. It shows interview wasn't required. But I wouldn't trust this 100%

    Status doesn't mean anything. My I-751 was estimated 7 months, took 20.5. N-400 was estimated 7 months again, took 3.5 months. On day of my oath, status showed 3 weeks until decision. What decision, I'm still unsure 😃

    Don't forget to update status with SSA. The checkbox on N-400 doesn't do anything. Here's my experience:

    Mine showed 3 weeks on day of oath. Not sure why people believe it so religiously.

    I would have applied for EAD. It is proof of status, which is what DMV and SSA want to see to issue driver's license and SSN.
  11. OldUser
    Have you filed for EAD (form I-765) for daughter? You need EAD or GC typically, unless person is in other valid status (F-1 or work visa)

    Time to hire an attorney?

    That's sad. The test is very easy for most people, and there are age related exceptions, though she hasn't been LPR long enough I guess... You are exempt from the English language requirement, but are still required to take the civics test if you are: Age 50 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resident (Green Card holder) in the United States for 20 years (commonly referred to as the “50/20” exception). OR Age 55 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resident in the United States for 15 years (commonly referred to as the “55/15” exception).

    Tricky question ideed! Why doesn't she want to become a citizen?

    Your evidence looks good, as long as it covers fhe periods of time. For example, one electrical bill dated September 2024 is OK, but much better if you include all months of this bill you have.

    MM/YYYY: August 2025 Location: California, US Business / organization: Medical building Check type: Identity verification Reason: Doctor visit Result: Success Details: Had to get second opinion from different doctor. The receptionist was super excited about PPC and never seen it before. Was accepted easily as proof of identity.

    3 months is like 3 days in USCIS world. Literally, if you think it like that. It takes on average a month go get receipt notice when filing by mail. In normal world, it would be one day. 12 months for AOS is not out of ordinary. That's why I always suggest going CR-1 route, but many think their AOS will take 3 months max. I hope you get the updates soon! When can you submit inquiry?

    Takes time and more effort? As I explained, entering username and password, entering verification code. Versus just pasting case number and nothing else.
  20. OldUser
    Sure. Logging into your account requires entering username and password (unless you save password in browser). From what I remember, often it requires code from text message too. The website I shared does not need signing in. It's good for quick status check. Once you know something changed, you can log in to myUSCIS and check documents tab etc.
  21. OldUser
    I guess, not just filled, but also filed. Filling is just about writing answers on form, filing is act of submitting this form. Don't travel until you get GC. AP is meant to be used for emergency travel. What if your I-485 gets denied while you're out of country? Technically, AP and EAD would get invalid too if this happens.
  22. OldUser
    Yes, you should get email about update to your case. But what if email goes to Junk or not delivered? You can also download a tracker app, there's many available. You just put your case number (don't login) and it will alert when there is update. If you check your case by logging in to myUSCIS - it's counterproductive. Here is website that works without login https://egov.uscis.gov/ All you need is case number (which you can store on your phone in notes). This website is often up when myUSCIS is down or undergoing maintenance

    Can even leave blank and have IO make a determination during interview. E.g disclose facts and let them pick yes or no. Either way it's forgiven.
  24. OldUser
    That's right, overstay is forgiven for immediate relative

    I am not aware of such requirement. I-130 doesn't ask to list petitioner's citizenships. Beneficiary, yes, had to list all citizenships on various forms.
