  1. By law, you have to carry both. In practice, not many do. The risk of losing original documents is not worth it. I'd at least have digital copies of both GC and extension letter plus physical printouts, especially if you live close to border. For international travel - you must have both to board a plane.
  2. Do you have a proof of delivery of your RFE response? You know the Tier 1 agents make things up...
  3. Even if you can, don't do it. This may confuse USCIS. File everything together, so they know I-765 and I-131 don't need additional fees.
  4. Side note: please use personal check if you can. If credit card payment declines, then case will be rejected, with everything coming back to you. It's not uncommon for credit card to decline USCIS charge as fradulent. You can search forum and find reports of that.
  5. Until April 1st 2024
  6. Good point. I went back and rechecked. It doesn't seem to be one of eligibility questions on ESTA application. I think I mixed it up with DS-160 for non-immigrant visas
  7. Sometimes you never get a SSN card and have to apply at SSA in person, as far as I know.
  8. No P.S. I hope she answered truthfully question about whether anybody ever filed an immigrant petition for her in ESTA application.
  9. It's processed based on where you live. Search field office by putting your ZIP code - https://egov.uscis.gov/office-locator/
  10. Absolutely. Any time you entered any country by going through border and immigration, whether land, sea or air. Do not list transit countries if you never went through immigration at the airport.
  11. His category changed now, and wait increased even more. You can reply to USCIS by uploading a letter to case. You're talking maybe 20 years for him to come now?
  12. I thought it was required for I-485 or when consular processing for I-130. It's a very vital document. Is there no way you can request it from country of your birth?
  13. Why is this a problem? Didn't you have to submit copies of your Birth Certificate for your immigration paperwork?
  14. Awesome, thanks for the update. I hesitated updating green card end date based off extension letter. Looks like it's safe to do. Also, from what I learned recently, you can scan passport at GE kiosk if asked for document. I thought I was only allowed to scan GC, but since it was a conditional expired GC it never worked.
  15. Actively reviewed means nothing is happening in most cases, unfortunately.
  16. If it was a bonafide marriage you could have adjusted status as a widower on I-360. What was the basis of denial? You can try applying for a ESTA / visa, but something tells me you may have a chance to be denied. Especially since you came before on visa and tried adjusting. Do you have established life and ties to your country?
  17. That's probably true for people not born in Canada, but originally coming from Middle East, Eastern European, African countries.
  18. Too bad that he never obtained a certificate of naturalization. This comes up a lot. It's not late to apply for the future. For now, bring all the supporting documentation, including US passport and copy of mother's naturalization certificate. Do not volunteer it at the interview. If you can proof his citizenship by using passport, he should use it. If asked about naturalization certificate, present all evidence you have, explain the situation and perhaps show a copy of filed application for certificate. This is not a legal advice.
  19. K-1 is not faster than CR-1 nowadays. Plus extra time and money to adjust.
  20. There is no official tracker app. There's website https://egov.uscis.gov/ Many case tracker apps query this official website to get statuses of cases, because no login is required to see any case status.
  21. Should be OK. However, why not marry and do CR-1 visa? It's cheaper and overall better than K-1
  22. That's of no help. Talk to us here or a lawyer. We know more than those agents. Your spouse may need to leave the US if you are a resident and not becoming a citizen any time soon. If spouse overstays, they may get picked by ICE and removed from the US with possible ban for 3 or 10 years.
