  1. Agreed, it's a yes, until LPR earns 40 quarters of social security or becomes a US citizen
  2. Yes, it's possible. There's whole thread where people discuss assets rejections. Also, each joint sponsor should make enough / have enough assets. Unless mother and sister combine finances?
  3. The two common things causing confusion when using online form are: - Married filers who file under general provision freak out why final form doesn't mention spouse info. This is normal, as not required under 5 year rule - Married people living with kids scratch head when asked about child support and seeing warning. It's not applicable in this situation. It's only for parent's supporting kids after divorce or who they don't live with etc
  4. Curious to learn what the opinions are. I'm not 100% sure what I'd put in this answer. Saying "yes" and describing that you didn't file for adjustment on time is unlikely going to hurt, because any overstay is forgiven. At the same time, technically, K-1 is for marrying and you did that.
  5. Are you sure you're not an immigration lawyer? 😃 You made a good point.
  6. Nice. These stats get updated all the time. For example, not so long ago I-751 used to show breakdown by service centers but not anymore...
  7. You're right. I checked N-400 and couldn't find what OP asks for. I think it might have been a question on other forms, but not N-400.
  8. One caveat, I-131 form includes all sort of cases and doesn't differentiate timeline for various documents: - Advance parole - Re-entry permit - Refugee travel document - TPS travel document So the timeline is aggregated for all sort of cases. If you want to have insurance policy, apply for I-131. You may never get it or need it, but if your close ones get sick back home, you won't be able to leave without advance parole, without abandoning your AOS and getting a entry ban. In my case (pre-Covid), AP took 5.5 months, I-485 took 8.5 months, but I never used AP. In fact, it was a combo EAD / AP card and I used EAD only.
  9. Surely one can get married in chuch if both parties are free to marry. However, if OP had a civil ceremony and was married already, they could not legally marry in church, and instead could just have a celebratory event for family. E.g. it would look like a wedding and could be treated like a wedding to family. But in the eyes of law, no real paperwork is produced. In the eyes of law the civil ceremony is real marriage, and event in church isn't counted towards number of times married. If OP lied to church and claimed unmarried when was married, got marriage license etc, then second marriage is not valid either and civil marriage is still the real marriage.
  10. Typically one has to order certified copies online or in person and pay the fees. At least this is how it works in county where I got married. Have you done that? I mean not marriage license application and fees to get married. But fees to get certified copy of marriage certificate. In many counties you can get it same day when requested in person or in few days if purchased online.
  11. Today's news: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-gold-card-immigration-buy-citizenship-green-b2704646.html
  12. This is amazing news! Thank you for sharing. I have a N-400 interview soon. It would be amazing to not have to go to enrollment center. I'll be waiting for update from you on this!
  13. December 2024 filers stats as of 02/25/2025 @ 4:15 PM ET: Approved: 637 Denied: 4 Fingerprints Scheduled: 550 Interview Cancelled: 91 Interview Scheduled: 8011 Pending: 4 Processing: 18508 Received: 29 ResponseToRFE: 6 RFE: 54 Terminated: 2 Withdrawal: 11 OathCeremonyNotice: 336 OathCeremonyScheduled: 290 OathCeremonyReady: 1
  14. But they most likely will, regardless of answer to question about denials. DOS is pretty aware of people with multiple citizenships. They'd not allow such loophole. If you were placed under admin processing, there's a reason why you're being checked more thoroughly. It's not like you're a different person if you use different passport. You're still you.
  15. It's awesome that interview was quick and you weren't needed for N-400 under 3 year rule. Congrats on oath ceremony!!!
  16. This is not how it works. Anybody who is a resident for 5 or more years can apply based on 5 year rule, regardless how they got GC. I applied on 5 year rule, even though I got GC based on marriage to US citizen and still married.
  17. Previous marriages info. If you filed online, it only asked you relevant questions which is why you may not have seen it. Download N-400 paper form and you'll see it. People who were married before need to put this info
  18. Other civil surgeon might have asked for a new medical again with full fee. Sorry you're so unfortunate with civil surgeons!
  19. Congrats! 3 or 5 year rule? Did she go alone or with you?
  20. Here are some timelines, though not very fresh and not many: https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/citlist.php?op6=All&op7=Cleveland+OH&op1=8&op2=&op4=1&op5=5%2C10%2C11&cfl= Looks like a months or so between interview and oath is normal for your FO
  21. This is normal. Any verbal promises are not legally binding. IO may have been unaware of wait times for oath. They can only process so many people at single ceremony...
  22. There's about 8600 other people who filed in August 2024 waiting for the interview. It's not unusual at all.
