https://www.loc.gov/everyday-mysteries/motor-vehicles-aeronautics-astronautics/item/who-invented-the-automobile/ "There are many different types of automobiles – steam, electric, and gasoline – as well as countless styles. Exactly who invented the automobile is a matter of opinion. Earlier accounts often gave credit to Karl Benz, from Germany, for creating the first true automobile in 1885/1886. However, our knowledge of the invention of the true automobile continues to evolve. The story of the invention of the automobile has become enriched with various other figures who played a part in its history." So in the eyes of the US, first automobile was created in the US. And there's countless examples of different interpretations by different countries. For example, one of the aviation pioneers Sikorsky is claimed to be American by US (lived and worked in the US), Ukrainian by Ukraine (born in Kiev, capital of modern Ukraine) and Russian by Russia (born in Russian Empire technically)

They lived at place B as far as I know. Just because on paper they never left place A, doesn't make it OK to hide the fact they lived at place B

This is typically a red flag. I wouldn't highlight it.

Congratulations! 1) Not very up to date, but core things remain the same 3) Online filing is more convenient 4) P-1 should not affect immigrant petition 5) Not required. You need proof of ongoing relationship. Property in both names is a good evidence of bonafide marriage.

Congrats

@Pink salt is your wife much older than you?

Thanks for sharing, this may not be obvious to some in similar situation.

Agreed, this is hard to see as valid marriage for immigration purposes. Even if OP starts meeting more frequently, it would look weird having 10 year gap of not seeing each other, with visits ramping up before filing new immigration paperwork. I'm skeptical any immigration benefit can be obtained through this relationship. Explanations like "busy life, COVID" don't look compelling at all. COVID was 5, nearly 6 years ago now. I'd argue POTUS is way busier than any of us are, and still manages to spend time with his wife. Is it that impossible to see each other once a year, even once in two years? It doesn't look like marriage was a priority for the past 10 years.

ACH. Complete and sign form G-1650 for that

That's right, 90 day early window only applies to anniversary of Resident Since date, but not to marital union or spouse being US citizen requirements.

Didn't do it, just brought evidence to interview, but was never asked for extra. You can upload to I-751, N-400 or both. It doesn't hurt. Most likely, I-751 needs extra marital evidence more than N-400. N-400 may need other evidence - confirmation of paying taxes, outcomes of any speeding tickets etc

Congratultions and thank you for sharing your experience. Don't forget to update status with SSA.

Go with most conservative approach and you won't be wrong.

You're overthinking. You're employed, but not performing any work. That's not different from somebody coming to the US for vacation. Also, even if you did work, that would be forgiven as you will be married to US citizen.

Congratulations! We're basing our responses on limited information. We also try not to be overly optimistic. Is there any more detail about interview you can share with us?

I disagree with this statement, @FeelingYoung66: "The validity of your marriage (as might be supported by the photos you submitted) is no longer in question as that was decided for a final time at your I-751 interview." N-400 based on marriage to US citizen can prompt questions about marriage and its validity, even after I-751 approval

Yes

It says failure, it doesn't say late report. So it's better to do it now than never Yes you are right, sorry for wrong form name

There's no limit to number of AR-11 she can file and there is no minimum time between each filing. It takes less than 5 minutes to do online. Late filings typically do not have any negative effect. With such low burden to do it, I'm not sure why this is even a question. It takes more time to get replies on this forum than file AR-11. It's not an optional form. Good luck!

For USCIS purposes, the official address is where you actually sleep at night, not where you pretend to live. If you never update address with USCIS, and you live at address B or C, they can come knocking on door of address A and conclude you're playing games with them. Always update your address as a sponsor within 30 days of moving (I-765). LPR spouse is also required by law to update address within 10 days of moving. Better late than never. She may be asked about addresses at I-751 during interview. She will be asked about addresses in N-400, so no need to hide stuff. Just be honest and upfront about it through the process. Any gains you make by misrepresenting your actual living arrangement for tax or other purposes will diminish if USCIS start suspecting issues with case / marriage.

That's ok to have personal accounts in addition to joint. I have this setup. Major joint expenses like utility bills, mortgage, car loans, property taxes, big purchases are paid from joint account. However, personal account is still used for credit card expenses on things each of us buys. My I-751 was approved.

No point in deleting this post. If everybody deleted posts on VisaJourney, the website would be empty. Make sure to make photos on your phone or copies of your NOA and any docs for USCIS. Losing them can be painful, especially if you don't have copies

You can do the minimum, you can do the maximum. Most likely, you won't be asked for it. But if you are and you don't have evidence with you - how would you feel? I brought hundreds of pages of various evidence with me. I didn't have to show any. Many times, when officer sees you brought a lot of evidence, they don't ask for it. But if you come emptyhanded - they do ask a lot of times

I wouldn't bring the phone. Reason: if you bring it, you may be asked to show its contents. Rarely, but happens.
