  1. I missed the word "just". Thank you for catching this.
  2. Cannot agree more. As an idea @ACalmCountry , if you call each other often on cell phone, get detailed statements from wireless carrier showing those 30 second calls when you confirm with your spouse whether to buy 2% milk, full fat milk, or dairy free at the supermarket.
  3. Good question. In theory only trips since you became an LPR are relevant for N-400. I'd include them too though, because the question asks about the trips in the last 5 years and not since you became LPR. Another option is to wait to file until you have full 5 years, then you wouldn't have to list them.
  4. I cannot give a legal advice on this, but I'd think if both names are on PO box agreement, you can use this as evidence.
  5. I guess you cannot use PO box for address since PO Box canno be put as address on the license.
  6. 99.9% it won't do anything though. And it costs $535 if I'm not mistaken. I believe only 3 visas were issued in 2019.
  7. Filing fees are under $500. If filed with a lawyer then yes, $5000 is average
  8. I doubt interviewer is going to bend the rules. If police certificate is needed, it's needed.
  9. You're right, somehow no login option is no longer available. Account is now required. That's silly...
  10. Yes you can include paper version in the packet. When did you try changing your address online? I changed mine in late August 2023. I could do it without online account and got instant confirmation after submitting it.
  11. Did the immigrant ever have any vaccinations in their life? If yes, it would be challenging. Waiver is possible, I don't believe you can get it before you're asked for it. Also, make sure you're aware the waiver may take some time
  12. Sandly there are very rare instances of airlines that denied boarding for LPR with GC and extension letter. VJ has mentions of it. Read all reports here https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/632906-traveling-on-extension-letter/page/75/#comments
  13. Interesting, could you please elaborate? Did this work for online check in? I was always worried putting expiration date as +4 years. Did your husband have to show GC and extension letter to airline staff? Were they OK with discrepancy between expiration date on GC and what was entered online for expiration date?
  14. Yes. Read more here: TL;DR airline won't know your 10 year GC was approved. As long as you have expired GC and valid extension letter, you're fine. CBP will admit you because you're LPR.
  15. Just start the process online and get an appointment. Or show up without the appointment. Here's the accepted documentation https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/driver-licenses-identification-cards/real-id/real-id-checklist/ You have it: "Valid Permanent Resident Card with Notice of Action (I-797 C) or Approval Notice (I-797)" Make sure to bring two papers proving your address, such as bank statements or utility bills showing the name and address.
  16. You mean K-1? Those are special types of visas to come to the US and get married. They have some drawbacks too: inabiltity to travel outside of the US and inability to work for a long period of time. CR-1 visa is superior in this sense: once an immigrant enters, they can instantly work and don't have issues travelling internationally. If I could I'd install a monument with this sentence written in gold.
  17. If you're outside of the US, there's no other way, other than consular processing. If you have exceptional circumstances, you could explore Direct Consular Filing (DCF), though Canadians can clarify if it's a viable option. Coming to the US on a non-immigrant visa with intent to adjust status is immigration fraud, which can make the immigrant inadmissible. Also, AOS tends to be slow and painful for the immigrant, as they cannot leave the US or work for extended periods of time. Again, this is not an option if you're outside of the US now.
  18. Either there's something in your background that needs to be checker further or there's somebody with the same name who got you flagged. There's no set timeline, could be few weeks or months. What visa are you seeking?
  19. No. If you can apply for SSN independently of GC, this may be faster than waiting for one via GC.
  20. What is the resident since date on your Green Card? Are you going to file based on marriage to US citizen or under 5 year rule?
  21. He should be OK leaving, as long as he uses Korean passport on the way home to Korea.
  22. Don't volunteer information during the interview. If interviewer asks whether you filed all taxes, say yes. They may / may not want to see the docs. If they ask, I'm pretty sure you'd have a copy of what you filed for 2018 + other years' tax return transcripts? The worst case, you'd get an RFE and have to get it within 90 days.
