    Yes. Create an online account with the IRS online and download the transcripts.

    Ok, but it can't be exactly like that, as that one is pictured with an admission stamp - not an I-551 stamp. When you receive one of those stamps in your passport upon entry into the US as a permanent resident, it is accompanied by LPR or ARC, but neither of those annotations confer proof of current status for future boardings to the US, which is what the I-551 stamp is for. 
     
    Please post a pic of the front & back (with your info edited out, obviously) so we can see exactly what they have sent you. 
    Sending one of these out by mail IS new, and something that collectively I am fairly sure no-one has heard of or experienced before on here.  
    The I-94 as proof of PR status is by itself also fairly rare, and not even pictured in the carrier information guide! I've never seen one, I just know the guidance for an appointment to obtain one specifically says you have to bring photos (indeed, as referenced HERE  in the I-9 guidance for example, with "USCIS uses either an I-551 stamp or a temporary I-551 printed notation on a machine-readable immigrant visa (MRIV) to indicate temporary evidence of lawful permanent residence. Sometimes, if no foreign passport is available, USCIS will place the I-551 stamp on a Form I-94 and affix a photograph of the bearer to the form. This document is considered a receipt.." )
     
    I'm also curious as to what the letter states!
    We are all sick of the annual appointment merry go round for these stupid stamps so any improvement on that, however minor, is welcomed.

    Yes, assuming his last regular pay check's gross pay multiplied by the number of pay periods per year exceeds the poverty threshold.
     
    I think you need a new joint sponsor.

    Otherwise yes, submit everything, don't skip the months. From the beginning of the marriage to the end.
     
    Photos, if you have many, select one or two from each month throughout marriage. In a Word document, place 2-3 photos per page with annotations (date, people in the photo).
     
    Maybe would be helpful to write a cover letter too briefly explaining the situation.
     
    Did you have any joint savings account? I know you mentioned no joint checking. Maybe throw in club memberships if any, family Amazon / Netflix accounts. Maybe take photos of your place from multiple angles showing your living arrangement together (don't include it, but have just in case for the future). Include USPS Informed Delivery emails showing letters to both of you if you have it.
     
    Good luck!

    Indeed. But her filings don’t generate RFEs.  She is having a lot of trouble getting online N-400 to work though. I don’t think she will make a profit on our filing.

    If your intention is to get US citizenship then you might as well. I would suggest anyone who has a WAC case to wait but for anyone else it makes sense to file N-400.

    The service center is assigned by USCIS.  You don't get to pick it.  
     
    It seems that most people in California and surrounding states end up getting assigned WAC (California Service center).  So chances are you will get that as well.  You will find out once you get your case number.

    OldUser reacted to HarryWL in ADIT Stamp Mailed?   
    Package arrived today, shipped by UPS. 
     
    The stamp arrived on an CBP I-94 card, like below. Valid till 10/26/2023. Came with an accompanying letter from the USCIS Fort Myers field office. Honestly I don't know if it's because of the hurricane, or maybe the office is just overwhelmed with appointments? But I also live in Orlando, so it's weird I received the letter from Fort Myers too.

    OldUser reacted to Crazy Cat in K1 or spousal visa for Croatian citizen   
    Every couple has their own priorities, and each couple must decide which visa is better for their situation.
    K-1        
        More expensive than CR-1    
        Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork)    
        Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 6-8 months)    
        Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 6-8 months)    
        Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period    
        Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed.
        A K-1 might be a better choice when 18-21 year old children are immigrating also
        In some situations, marriage can affect certain Home country benefits, making a K-1 a better choice   
        A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire
        
    CR-1
        Less expensive than K-1    
        No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765) required.    
        Spouse can immediately travel outside the US    
        Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival.    
        Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US    
        Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport.
        Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US.

    Spousal visa definitely. We got married in Bosnia and my husband had to have couple documents translated before we could sign up for marriage ceremony (30 day waiting period) but after that it was same day marriage certificate and back then we applied for spousal visa two weeks later (DCF was the way to go). Had to go to Zagreb for medical and immigrant visa interview but we made it a trip out of each necessary visit.

    Immigrant intent.  She could fraudulently use a tourist B2 visa to enter the US, then decide to stay and adjust status through you.  Many have done this so it makes it very difficult to get approved even if she has no intent to misuse a tourist visa.  All she can do is apply and see what happens.  It will take a year and a half plus $160 to find out.

    The problem isn’t that she doesn’t work.  The problem is that she is married to a U.S. citizen.  Thus her chances are low. I put them at under 10 percent.

    Also, are you considering finding a co-sponsor meanwhile?
