  1. $680 is the total payment if you don't have dependants removing conditions with you.
  2. The US citizen spouse / LPR is the one signing jointly filed petition. Part 4 of petition is for their details. Part 8 asks for their signature. You're referred to as conditional resident throughout the form and in instructions. There's two people involved in the form: conditional resident and US citizen / LPR spouse. Conditional resident pays the biometric fee, and spouse doesn't.
  3. Why do you skip the line above the one you mentioned in instructions? "Each conditional resident and conditional resident dependent included in the principal petitioner’s Form I-751 is required to submit a biometric services fee with this petition, in addition to the required filing fee. (See the What Is the Filing Fee section of these Instructions.)" You always need to pay biometrics fee as a conditional resident. The other fee is for spouse of conditional resident, who may be a US citizen or LPR! They're usually not required to submit biometrics. But if USCIS asks them, they'll have to pay biometrics fee later in the process.
  4. He's the one filing, can be done online today. Another thing to consider, if he doesn't have any EU citizenship or permanent residence, the max he can stay in EU is 90 days. Living is not an option.
  5. No, you don't have to wait until AOS is denied. You can file new I-130 now and once have a receipt, withdraw old petitions including I-485. The reason to file new I-130 is because the form asks whether beneficiary will adjust in the US or go through consular processing overseas. The one filed probably says you will be adjusting in the US. You can try having USCIS to change it to consular processing, but it will probably will take longer than starting from scratch.
  6. I only included IRS tax return transcripts. Approved.
  7. No. Select any flight that works for you. CBP will be there round the clock for your convenience.
  8. Not very high, but you can always try.
  9. I'm afraid it's different case to case and nobody knows for sure.
  10. From purely bureaucratic point of view, the best time to change name is after marriage, when applying for GC through AOS or when applying for naturalization. It's a bit less desirable in my opinion during I-751 stage. However, since you're already in it and have mix up of last names in various documents, I'd use new last name on the forms. I'd also include copy of marriage certificate just in case as well as short cover letter explaining you've changed the name. If everything goes smooth, you'll receive GC with the new name.
  11. Others can confirm, but this sounds about right to me.
  12. Yes, every person requires their own AOS packet and filing fees.
  13. According to lawyers, USCIS doesn't take lawsuits personally.
  14. Hmmm very good point. This seems new. I filed 2 years ago. I'd follow instructions then.
  15. Yes, one check is fine, that's what I did. Double check the amounts though.
  16. Great thank you for clarifying @alegra. Here's my understanding (I'm not a lawyer). I would not submit anything from pre-marriage era. The instructions ask for evidence from start of marriage until date of filing. If you interpret it literally, you'd be resubmitting things like old leases, insurance etc along with current ones. That's what I did and got approved without RFE / interview. Others only submitted stuff for the timeframe from AOS approval until recent and got approved. Was there some repetition? Sure, in my case about 20% of evidence was repeated, but 80% was new evidence since AOS.
  17. I-751 requires proof of bonafide marriage from the wedding date to time of filing. In your case, since you're divorced, from the wedding date to the day you got divorced. This evidence, in fact, will prove that you didn't marry for immigration benefit.
  18. Does it include: - bus timetable - weather forecast - research paper on cosmic rays ? I think all the evidence listed is relevant for I-751. Can you give an example of unnecessary evidence?
  19. I'd worry more abour your ties. Your renewal may get denied anyways, even if you never had this conversation.
  20. I think I guessed most of it. Somehow missed the expiration date encoded 😊
  21. There's a reason - you want your case approved and without delays for RFEs, NOIDs, stokes interviews etc. Theoretically you only need evidence for I-485, I-131, I-765 and not for I-129F. But I'd reprove everything, wouldn't mind spending time and money to print that all again. You'd probably make all the money back in few hours of work.
  22. Why not just file, even if it's a $0 tax return?
  23. Hey guys, starting a new thread for discussing Hacking Immigration Show episodes / cases. Today (episode 461) Jim said one of his clients sent a sex tape on USB in attempt to prove bonafide marriage, responding to NOID 🤦‍♂️ How crazy is that?
  24. So what happens if you lose citizenship of your home country? Can't you visit on US passport? Worst case you'd apply for visa if US passport doesn't grant visa free access to your home country. Is losing some tax benefit / social benefit back at home country the reason why you postponed naturalizing in the US? It's really not a good reason, as US isn't responsible for your financial wellbeing overseas. I doubt this would be taken into consideration when N-336 is reviewed.
