  1. Too sad when the pride gets in the way of helping regular folks under rubbles. I know some may hate this comment, but I can't help not to express my view (which is worth $0.02). Same goes to Russia - Ukraine, Israel - Gaza etc etc. To sad seeing people suffering because of ambitions and disputes.
  2. Yes, she should absolutely have up to date address on state ID. I don't know whether it makes any sense filing for the first move now. I'd only file for the most recent move.
  3. Congratulations ! You could have taken spouse with you. Usually it helps with N-400 under 3 year rule. The spouse may not be allowed in the same room, but they can be waiting in waiting area.
  4. Have you started looking for a joint sponsor? The due date for 2023 is April 15. With extension it is further, but it doesn't help your case.
  5. Typically the process begins with filing I-130 and I-130A forms.
  6. Normal. It can take months before you hear anything.
  7. The estimates is a random number. You can get approval on Monday or you can keep waiting.
  8. Normal. It can take months before you get EAD / AP (if you filed). Or silence for another 6-9 months, then either decision on the case, RFE or interview notice.
  9. For immigration you have to disclose it even if your record is sealed, expunged etc etc. You'll always have to tell about it.
  10. This is normal. You should receive GC soon. Typically, you first receive approval letter which tells you not to travel without new GC and 2-3 weeks later you should get GC itself.
  11. Are you applying under 5 year rule? If yes, and you don't have a pending I-751, then you don't need to upload bank statements at all. Only tax return transcripts for the last 5 years, front and back of GC etc etc. On the other hand, if you're applying under 3 year rule, then submit as much evidence or bonafide marriage including bank statements, utility bills etc. In this case building a strong case throwing every relevant evidence in application is a good thing.
  12. Not ideal, but hopefully they'll look through the packet and find the information they need.
  13. How reliable is this? Do they get confirmation in form of letter etc?
  14. No need to apologize, we're all learning from this discussion which may help somebody reading VJ in the future. As long as she never had marriages in the US, she's fine. Otherwise all her US marriages are void.
  15. Congratulations! Time to celebrate 😊😊😊
  16. That's amazing, congratulations! I hope this becomes a norm. I hope it's not a sneaky move to cut processing times statistics by working on new cases and abandoning old. Oh wait, I must have seen this movie before 😃
  17. She can file AR-11 any time online in 5 minutes and get instant confirmation. Technically she can do it before or after N-400, it doesn't matter. But I'd do before. Also, if she already lives in the state for over 3 months, she doesn't need to wait for 3 months after filing AR-11. Residency is not proved by filing AR-11. It's proved by having utility bills, driver's license with correct address, taxes filed in the state. Does she have all that?
  18. It's just an online status. I bet if you file FOIA, you'll find I-751 was approved.
  19. Administrative Processing doesn't have exact timeline. It can be days, it can be weeks or months. Nobody can predict.
  20. I-797 is the receipt and extension. It's the same document .
  21. Not for this section, but in general he should attach all the bonafide marriage evidence for his N-400 based on marriage: joint taxes, joint account bank statements etc etc
  22. Does she have anything proving the abuse? Did she report to police, have witness, speak to a therapist or at least go to shelter? So far she gave USCIS all the reasons to believe the marriage was for immigration benefit: little joint evidence and they crumbled when a little pressure was put on them. In my opinion she must go to the second interview with or without spouse. And she can ask for WAVA, but she must have solid proof otherwise she may get accused of fraud.
