    Yes. I-485 receipt proves she can remain in the US. Advance parole allows leaving the US while AOS is pending. The general recommendation is only leave in case of emergency like death or illness of family member or close relative.

    Only if whoever needs to see it will complain about condition of the NC. And that may be: - USCIS when petitioning somebody - DOS when renewing passport - SSA when claiming retirement - Employer (some employers need proof other than US passport for security clearance)

    Agreed. Majority of immigrants experience financial issues and other difficulties adjusting their lives after coming to the US. But usually this only lasts a few years, after which life gets much better.

    Things are different to 2023 now in that regard, unfortunately.

    Depends on the officer. Some may be worked up because spouse is absent. Especially with 3 year rule case, and especially if I-751 is pending.

    This is super fast!

    I monitored my thread for December filing. I don't know if this trend applies to everybody. About 50% are going faster than expected, but another 50% go slower than the first bunch. All I know is estimate is misleading. It could take longer or faster for N-400.

    I'm really really sorry about your situation. I think this decision is very important and has long term consequences. Your family are the only ones who can decide what's right or wrong for your happiness. From immigration standpoint, if your husband and son leave now, they'll abandon their adjustment of status (is that what they have pending?) However, if they arrived on tourist visas on April 26, 2025 this year and immediately applied for adjustment - that's really bad. You can't come on tourist visa with intention of adjusting. Can you tell us more about what petitions are pending?

    That's exactly what I found myself when going through naturalization. Wasn't sure if it affects AOS or not. It seems like SSA visit is unavoidable.
  10. OldUser
    I don't know how things stand with AOS nowadays, but for naturalization, I never received SS card in mail despite asking to update my status on N-400 form. I had to do a trip to SSA. Here's details:

    Yes, it's notoriously inaccurate. Does it have blue check mark? If it's not filled like previous steps, it actually means it's the next step and it hasn't been completed yet.

    I-751 extension letter extends physical GC. It's expected.
  13. OldUser
    Yes, only physical GC is extended, not ADIT stamps or other extension letters. That's true for extension letters for I-751, N-400 and I-90.
  14. OldUser
    It's because USCIS doesn't differenciate between N-400 filers who have pending I-751 and those who don't (from extension letter perspective). Extension letter is useful for somebody with 10 year GC expiring in 6 months.

    Generally, US citizens don't do biometrics for I-751. It's the immigrants who do it.

    1. Have you tried contacting AVITS? 2. Can you not create a new account using different email address?
  17. OldUser
    Which is probably not going to happen. My initial estimate was 7 months, case took 3.5 months. Estimate on day of my oath was 3 weeks until decision. In short, this estimate cannot be trusted.
  18. OldUser
    Mine showed 3 weeks until decision on the day of my oath 😃 Initial estimated time was 7 months, but I was done in 3.5.

    This is the last thing to worry about. The bigger issue USCIS mistakenly approving I-751 without knowing your living situation. Or if they accuse you of misrepresentation. What will happen if USCIS officers knock on the door at the other address tomorrow morning? Would you be at that address? What the spouse would say to them? If you're not there, you may be accused of immigration fraud / misrep. It will be a much bigger headache than few months of possible delay. Yout case will be slower anyway with converting it to divorce waiver etc.

    I misunderstood the earlier message. Thought you lived in NYC now. If you only receive mail there (as you said, he receives mail), but physically you sleep elsewhere every night, you don't live at that address. Good luck!
  21. OldUser
    Yes, you're required by law to notify USCIS about address change within 10 days of moving. Failing to update addresss is technically, a deportable offense. Updating address late is historically fine. Not updating can be a problem.
  22. OldUser
    I think the likelihood of bad outcome for I-751 is higher when keeping things in status quo - married, but not living together. Or living in broken marriage. It's best to divorce and remove conditions on your own.
  23. OldUser
    I don't see how your life and divorce in the US is related to the political climate in Venezuela. Can you explain please?
  24. OldUser
    Why not go back to translator and make them fix it?
  25. OldUser
    Yes, 1a is correct. Most of I-751 petitioners are expected to file jointly with US citizen spouse.
