    Exactly. When it's not there it means there is an outage of MyProgress. It being there or not isn't related to case progress at all.

    What's wrong with that?

    About addresses: you don't have to live at address for 5 years to list it. If you lived at address A for 1 year, address B for 2 years and address C for 2 years, you list them all because it was in the last 5 years. Same about current address. List your current address, it doesn't matter you didn't live there long. Part 4. Correct, unless anybody applied for you to come on immigrant visa, the answer is No. K-1 is non-immigrant.

    Form I-551 is your expired GC. No all you need for travel is what you mentioned. Make sure they're all original documents including extension letter.

    I bet some DMVs and employers would not take self printed copies. It's just they're not as detail oriented as airlines or CBP and you can get lucky.
  6. OldUser
    You can at your own risk. Considering extension letter is printed on protected watermarked paper, it might be obvious when you show a self-printed copy. Airlines accept originals. I'm not aware of them being required to accept copies. I remember somebody reported success on VJ. But considering some people with expired GC and original extension letter having problem occasionally, I can see how an airline can deny boarding

    Ouch! It depends on airline and their personnel. I'd try getting a replacement. Here's how to request notice if you never received it: https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDNForm.do?sroPageType=ndn&entryPoint=init Not sure if you can use it to replace notice that was damaged.

    Means you didn't keep it alive. That's sad. Good luck!

    If finances is indeed not an issue, meet in a third country. Good luck and stay safe!

    Both just in case. There are no rules forbidding that. Petition from mother Petition from father Petition from you, sibling Realistically, it'a probably going to be your petition and it will take few decades.

    She cannot leave the US without advance parole. If she leaves without it, she abandons her I-485 and will have to start from scratch (file for visa, wait etc). Advance parole takes months to get. Ideally, she should only leave on advance parole in case of emergency for few weeks. Another option is to pause her studies, wait until GC comes, file for reentry permit (allows to be out of the US for up to 2 years). Then finish studies overseas and come back to the US. The problem in this case will be removal of conditions and naturalization under 3 year rule. It's hard to work with evidence from overseas and proving you lived in bonafide marriage.

    That's right Not needed

    This is normal. For cases filed by mail it takes 4-8 weeks to receive receipt by mail.
  14. OldUser
    This is a bit concerning. You should have receipt by now.
  15. OldUser
    That's great news for new filers, but not necessarily for OP. USCIS is know to start processing new cases faster and leaving older cases for later. It would be nice to understand where this invisible like is drawn. Typically, you can find out by looking at reports on VJ or checking external status website (cannot post link) that shows blocks of cases being processed.

    She cannot stay in the US while I-129F form is pending. It can take a 12-16 months for that form to be approved. All this time fiance should be back in her country. If I-129F got approved and she already entered on K-1 visa, she must remain in the US until she adjusts her status and gets GC. She cannot leave the US without advance parole.
  17. OldUser
    Where do you see this? EADs take months. It's unusually fast for it to be processed in under 3 months. Check the processing times - https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ I-765 takes on average from 5 to 8 months depending on service center.

    Fiancé visa is not designed to be "try before you buy" with 90 day return of fiancé back to their country if something doesn't work out. Expectation is you are sure you want to get married, before you file for K-1. There is a reason you write and sign letter of intent to marry. Treating people like objects or goods is inhumane. Many of K-1 leave everything behind in their home country: relatives, friends, job, environment they know, language, place they live etc etc.

    Worst? Not sure. With new administration, new USCIS director, I'd imagine many cases would take 1 year.
  20. OldUser
    Nobody has to change names. And definitely not for immigration reasons. Keeping names "as is" is totally fine. He can even change name to complely different name if he wants when he naturalizes and there's no problem with it
  21. OldUser
    If the check box is not checked all it means it's the next thing to happen. When will it happen, nobody knows. It can take months. Good luck and keep us updated!

    Congrats ! When you say "Interview scheduled", are you talking about interview actually being scheduled or you talk about MyProgress (whatever step it says)? Many people read MyProgress incorrectly. Screenshot would be appreciated. Estimated time can be ignored as inaccurate.

    He can apply on February 24, 2025 or later. I recommend filing on March 1, 2025. He can do it if: - He didn't have any trip longer than 6 months since becoming resident - He lived with US citizen spouse for all 3 years since becoming LPR - He spent over 18 months in the US in the last 3 years.
  24. OldUser
    Yes, you have to file it either way.

    You will always be the primary sponsor and file I-864. Your uncle file another I-864 as joint sponsor.
