    Some people reported success travelling on a copy, but I highly recommend travelling on original letter. An airline may not allow you to board the plane to the US on a copy (and rightfully so). It can take 4-6 weeks to receive original watermarked letter in the mail. Looks you filed very recently. If you don't receive it in the mail by mid November, I'd file a request https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDDForm.do?sroPageType=ndd&entryPoint=init

    Good luck and sorry you're going through this.

    You won't be "fine". You may get a GC with wrong name on it. Put some pressure on him, you're the client and he's working for you. Get a copy of everything submitted for your records. If he doesn't help, consider firing this incompetent person. What is he going to do if you get RFE or incorrect document? Brush it off? Are you sure he's a lawyer?

    Sorry to hear about the typos. Let it be a lesson for everybody reading... Don't blindly trust the lawyers. Always check everything and correct mistakes before it gets sent to USCIS. I cannot say for certain you'll be fine travelling, but it seems like there's some chance you're going to be OK. The biggest hurdle is the airline. Also demand your lawyer to send a letter to USCIS asking for corrections. Request a copy and proof of such letter. Your lawyer should be doing everything to make up for their mistake.

    No US citizenship is needed for opening a bank account. People on J1 visas open bank accounts all the time.

    Yes. Sometimes no notification is sent even with G-1145 on file. NOA takes 4-6 weeks easily to receive.

    How long have you been an LPR? What's the resident since date on GC? That's more important than how long your marriage is. E.g. I'm operating with limited facts. You may have been married for 10 years, but been an LPR only for 3 years. Or you may have been an LPR for 8 years. Based on that you can pick eligibility criteria for N-400. If you've been LPR for 5 years or more with no breaks in residecy, you may be eligible to apply under 5 year rule. For that, it doesn't matter if you're married or not and you do not have to prove your marriage.

    My lawyer told me to have them signed by those people and attach copies of their state ID / DL. To say it was ackward to ask is to say nothing. But friends were very keen on providing it, and my I-751 got approved. Notarizing it may be easier / safer than asking for their IDs.

    Best to pay with check. If you search VJ, you'll see sometimes bank flags this transaction as fradulent.

    Sending all at the same time is OK. AR-11 can be filed online today, it takes 5 minutes.
  13. OldUser
    You must,file AR-11

    Can take up to 6 weeks to receive notices.

    Are you eligible to file under 5 year rule? If so, you generally don't need to prove marriage to USCIS.

    Yes, worldwide income should be reported to IRS by greencard holders.

    I'd say yes, the safest bet is to file at 5 year anniversary minus 90 days of 05/20/2019

    This is good evidence. Make sure to include copies of them in your packet.

    @Nelly_M do you and your spouse have IDs / DLs with matching address?
  20. OldUser
    Kind of logical, this is thread for June 2020 filers
  21. OldUser
    Yes, no problem with travelling elsewhere before entering the US. This question gets asked quite often, not sure why people think it's not permitted?
  22. OldUser
    What a nightmare question it is nowadays! I hope IO realizes it and doesn't ask it.
  23. OldUser
    Correction: it's a 48 month extension letter! E.g. 4 years.
  24. OldUser
    As far as I know they can file 4 years and 1 day since the return back to USA for good. If they prefer more straightorward case, they can file 5 years minus 90 days since they returned back to the US for good. If they want bulletproof case, they can file 5 years and a week since they returned back to the US for good.

    Yes
