  1. I included those letters / statements in the ROC packet. No USCIS address was included.
  2. If you're travelling overseas on US passport to a country not requiring visa, I don't see how it would be a problem?
  3. When you get your Green Card, go to SSA and remove the wording "Valid for work only with DHS authorization" by asking for the a new SS card. SSN won't change (it never changes), but you won't have these restrictions. Until then, EAD and current SS card is good proof of your ability to work legally.

    EB2 NIW

    You need to letters of recommendation to make the case stronger. I'd evaluate with an attorney first whether you have a case for NIW or you won't be eligible and it's a waste of time. AFAIK, when you file for GC under NIW, you demostrate immigrant intent. Don't expect to be easily approved / renewed any non-immigrant visa after that.
  5. If they live in the USA most of their time, and trip is shorter than 6 months, no problems.
  6. Yes, online systems have glitches. I wouldn't worry too much, it may be "normal". But yeah, that's one of the reasons to file on paper.
  7. Looks like you're right: https://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/123363/is-it-mandatory-for-a-dual-citizen-to-have-a-nicop-to-enter-exit-pakistan I don't see the reason to renew Pakistani's passport in this case unless you have other reasons doing it.
  8. Citizenship does not stop with expired passport. Many Americans (and I'm sure many Pakistanis) do not have passports of their countries, though they're citizens. Some countries require their citizens to enter and leave the country on their passport. E.g. USA requires US citizens to enter and leave USA on US passport even if they have other citizenships. I'm not sure if Pakistan requires their citizens to enter Pakistan on Pakistan's passport. You may need to research it.
  9. OP was last active May 20, 2019. Don't expect their answer any time soon.
  10. No, it's not awkward. Yes, you can still file.
  11. @Nelly_M IMHO it's easier to file and move forward. If you ever want to naturalize, there's a question on N-400: " Have you EVER not filed a Federal, state, or local tax return since you became a lawful permanent resident?" If you don't file it, you'd have to say "Yes" and explain why you didn't file. My personal choice would be to pick the path of least resistance and file. That way you can say "No".
  12. I personally don't have experience with this, maybe it's OK? Based on what I see, USCIS generally has higher standards for a lot of things that a regular US person has to deal with: tax filings, criminal records etc. How can you prove to USCIS that you and your US spouse aren't evading taxes? Transcript from USCIS with 0 income is the best proof IMHO. Also, AFAIK, GC holder is should have reported world wide taxes in 2021, even if they came to the US on December 31st, 2021 on CR-1 visa. Are you sure you didn't have to report your income from elsewhere? I'm not a tax specialist or immigration lawyer, just throwing some ideas.
  13. For 2021 you could always file taxes still with 0 income. Tax return transcript is all you need.
  14. I think it was a mistake filing under 3 year rule given shaky marriage with cheating, abusing and addicted person. There's a chance you're going to be grilled about your relationship even at N-400 based on 5 year rule. But should you continue with application filed under 3 year rule? I don't think so. Sorry you're going through this. I think it's time to get the life sorted. Immigration can be put on back burner.
  15. Stay calm, positive. Go through important questions with your spouse. Reherse civics questions. Bring the spouse and updated evidence.
  16. The answers should be accurate and up to date at the time of interview, not just at the time of filing. If anything on the form changes between filing and interview (like training, arrests etc) - you need to tell the officer.
  17. Does I-751 allow uploading stuff nowadays? I thought only N-400 did?
  18. Turbotax transcripts? Yes you can. IRS transcripts are better, but my I-751 got approved with printouts of Turbotax PDFs. Just make sure to submitt all pages for all years.
  19. Yes, I read it. The truth is this number rarely helps, and this is the conclusion many on VJ came to after going through this personally or reading many similar threads.
  20. It's up to you which advice you take. You may try, or you may simply give up and let the case slide into denial. It's your case on the line, you may as well pick your priorities.
  21. Wrong forum I guess? As far as I know there's no direct flights. You can have a stop ovet in Dubai, Doha, China.
  22. I double checked. I think you're right, the premium processing fee can be paid by employee. Thank you for correcting
  23. Looks like being a Pakistani citizen is a requirement to have NICOP - https://www.nadra.gov.pk/identity/identity-nicop/ If you renounce Pakistan's citizenship I'm not 100% sure you'll be eligible for NICOP.
  24. 1. Neutralization? That's a scary term 😮 2. You don't need to replace naturalization certificate if you don't want. Paper trail (marriage certificates, divorce certificates, court order for name change) will allow you to prove who you are if ever need to get a US passport again and naturalization certificate is needed for some reason.
