    Yes, but you have to update officer with all new trips at the interview. Also make sure you don't break continuous residence or physical presence.

    To marry, you have to be free to marry. So you'd divorce and remarry. I wouldn't do it. USCIS and DOS recognized your marriage as real. Push back with facts. Escalate to their manager. I'd try after receing GC in hand, I suspect they're blocked because of this. Which country did you marry in? Does certificate match descrpition from this website? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html/ If yes, print this and show at DMV when presenting your marriage certificate.

    Marriage wise, fast divorce after receiving GC might be compensated by 5 years of overall marriage length. I hope you'd be able to provide any supporting docs showing marriage #1 was bonafide? Otherwise I don't seen anything super major here. I assume you disclosed this 2015 incident in your I-485 during your adjustment?

    Why not apply in 2 weeks after you both live at same address? Also, since I-485 can only be filed on paper, why not apply for everything including I-130, I-485, I-765, I-131, I-693, I-130A in one packet on paper?

    1) How soon after receiving GC did you divorce wife #1? 2) Was there a significant age gap between you and wife #1? 3) Was wife #1 of your ethnicity, same religion or country of origin or not? 4) Is wife #2 of your ethnicity, same religion or country of origin? 5) Did you know wife #2 before you met wife #1?

    If the child is removing conditions with mother, there should be only one I-751 form for both. And the total fee is $750 for both.

    Yelling at users won't help much. Why does it matter if it's approved or not approved, if visa isn't available for many years? Yes, USCIS occasionally approves cases by mistake instead of shelving them for many more years. In the grand scheme of things it won't make much difference whether I-130 is approved 3 years ago or in in 2030. Good luck!

    I don't know how it could be possible. There should not be visas issued for any F4 filers who filed after 2007.
  10. OldUser
    Currently, cases filed in 2007 are processed. So you got at least 6 more years ahead. It's good idea to check visa bulletin https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2025/visa-bulletin-for-april-2025.html

    Given the large timeframe, I'm pretty sure big number of cases are abandoned by petitioners and or beneficiaries. I mostly see people asking about filing on VJ, and alsmost never hear about approvals.
  12. OldUser
    You won't hear much because approvals for this category take 15-20 years!

    Agree with this comment! @Gapsie MyProgress showed 3 weeks until decision for my naturalization on day of my oath. @Edward and Jaycel also had estimate of 7 months until their EAD on day they received it. 17 months is a good estimate for I-130 as of today. So I guess you should hear in May-June this year.

    No easy answer here, but you're generally a tax resident if: - You spent 183 or more days in the US OR - Got green card Also, worth noting not all countries have treaties with the US, it's possible to be double taxed based on your other country rules.

    Congratulations!

    Good luck!

    Good for him! I wouldn't dare printing this volume for personal needs 😅 I'm lucky in that regard, no bank or utility company is charging me for paper statements. They're large national banks though. Some banks actually offered incentives (points, statement credits) for switching to paperless. So once I was done with immigration, I switched to paperless and got those too Good luck and keep us posted!

    Maybe OP means ceremonial one? It looked very official to me until I learned it's not an original 😅
  19. OldUser
    Certified copy is all you need. County clerk typically has the original.
  20. OldUser
    Same estimate said 3 weeks until decision for me on day of my oath. Same estimate said 7 months until decision on day @Edward and Jaycel had EAD in hand. Back in the days my EAD took 5.5 months and it was the norm
  21. OldUser
    One month approvals? These must be rare cases. EADs take 6-9 months easily

    Again, opinions may vary on this. People around me consider me successful. I naturalized recently. For both AOS and N-400 I used lawyer. Because I can afford it. I could complete all the forms myself and represent myself at interviews. But I don't think lawyer is a bad idea, if one has means to pay for a quality service. Joint Sponsor is a definitely easy way out. Why fight the current if you can win on first try?
  23. OldUser
    @Larry and Marides instead of going back and forth in this thread, can you please try helping the person in this thread who struggled using assets and now got I-485 denial? Peace
  24. OldUser
    The reason asset related threads exist is because consular officers routinely reject assets. If you had a positive experience - great, but I wouldn't interpolate it on everybody. Joint sponsor is the most reliable and efficient way of getting I-864 resolved whether you like it or not. Majority of lawyers also recommend going this path.
  25. OldUser
    I would disagree with this statement.
