  1. Not automatically. Typically employer has to sponsor for green card
  2. Are you sure she's a lawyer? A real lawyer, not a notario? Why this ridiculous pricing? You can do it yourself, of course, but you need to know what you're doing. It is indeed somewhat complex, but not impossible.
  3. It's unfortunate you didn't start using joint accounts to the max since that AOS interview. You knew it was an issue. 6 months is good, but you may be called for interview again and asked why not for the past 2 years? Do you guys file joint taxes? I'd include tax return transcripts. I don't know what value personal accounts would provide other than proving you live at the same address. How about utilities? Do you have monthly statements in both names?
  4. You don't get any confirmation or proof of uploading evidence. RFE letter is asking for mailing, right? If yes, theoretically USCIS would do a favor by looking at uploaded documents. But they don't have to. I'd upload and mail with proof of delivery, so they can never say you didn't respond.
  5. For me estimate showed 3 weeks until decision on day of my oath! I think these are just some random numbers.
  6. That's essentially what happens, as prerequisites for citizenship in most countries are living there for 3/5/10 years, knowing language and history and having no issues with law. Paperwork is what proves legality. Even naturally born citizens have to go through admin stuff (or their parents do it) to get birth certificate, passport etc. Admin stuff is essential to secure a country. Imagine somebody who has malicious intent just lives in a country for X number of years and automatically becomes a citizen. Admin stuff allows authorities to check the person before giving generous privileges to them.
  7. Also, looks like you filed I-751 with divorce waiver? It can slow things down. Be ready to talk about marriage to USC and divorce upon reentry too.
  8. Have expired GC, valid original extension letter, valid passport. Do not travel if you had prior crimes or participated in protests or were associated with questionable groups. Also don't travel if previously you took very long trips outside the US (over 1 year). Be ready your belongings, phones, laptops may be searched upon reentry to the US.
  9. Glad you found it! Just because case is allowed to be created doesn't mean it prevents all possible mistakes by filer or by USCIS
  10. Love the beat
  11. You're overthinking. Stamps can be on any random page in passport.
  12. N-400 says you don't need to list it. However, if asked about trips in interview, you need to remember dates whether it was over or under 24 hrs trip.
  13. 1 - You can bring tax return transcripts to the interview. 2 - Important Here is my experience applying under 5 year rule while married to USC: The difference is, I always filed taxes MFJ, and uploaded them as I filed N-400. Good luck!
  14. Whatever you prefer. Did you ask immigration service this question?
  15. Approach #1 - Print and refill I-485 - Attach other forms as is - Write a cover letter explaining prior filing was rejected and you redid the I-485 due to new edition Approach #2 - Forget you ever filed anything, and assemble a fresh packet with everything newly filled There's no right or wrong in my opinion
  16. Do the returned forms have any stamps, notes on them etc?
  17. Seems like drop in the ocean, but at least something is happening. And there will be time when this thread will have a lot of posts with people sharing their approval news
  18. You have to redo the form is there is new form available. Personal check is the best, but of course you need to make sure you have money in account.
  19. If you have a completed and signed I-693 in your hand, bring it to the interview. If it is not complete or not signed, then yes get new one from civil surgeon.
  20. Agreed on this one. The only time I didn't file taxes myself it was through HR block. And I ended up owing taxes few months later as they were filed incorrectly. The guy just clicked few buttons and we were done in 10 minutes. Filing myself it takes 2-3 hrs, by taxes are done correctly with max deductions. HR block for taxes are like notarios for immigration cases.
