Appreciate it, I found they have a tool tonow check citizenship status (where was that in 2022 🥲) and definitely still have so will list. Just worry telling consulate I lost it when I got dual when apparently I didnt will cause issues if I get a fussy officer. Obv I would have had it revoked if I asked for passport etc from ZA and they realised I had british but obv never did

Until age 10 which I shared at embassy when they debated if pcc was needed. If I had said I was still a citizen, one would have been.

Hi, I have not listed my ZA nationality since I gained my UK as I found out dual was not allowed (without requesting retention) so during K1 and AOS I did not list it but is my birth country. I was asked at embassy about it, said I lost it when I gained UK. Since then the law that lead to this was ruled unconstitutional and you now retain or can regain citizenship. While looking into this I discovered I'm 99% sure I never officially lost my ZA citizenship. Of course, if I had tried to obtain a ZA passport, etc., at the time they likely would have revoked it when they found out I had dual. Essentially, I was likely in a grey area at the time but now I almost certainly have ZA citizenship. However, I'm concerned if I add ZA to my ROC it will raise questions about not having it at K1 (and not providing a pcc). I know it's not a large chance but don't want to risk anything either. Essentially, I am unsure what to put as I am unsure of my nationality status. My ID number for ZA still lists me as a citizen but that's all I have to go on.

A risk for sure, esp if from LPR or non-citizen but just to say, my husband made 1k over threshold and under threshold yr prior and we weren't RFE'd

The sponsor has to be a USC I believe

ah I understand, agree mine was 10months IT was 3months for 4 months then when it went to FO it jumped between 8-10 for 2months Then approved

no it's free if you filed before April 1st

I was curious if I-485 got approved and they gave wrong denial notice. I got a denial for i-131 after i-485 approved but I imagine you would have known by now. Definitely think it's worth applying again with proof for reason you say. Especially as it's free. Make sure you include I-485 NOA1 when you file

what was error on their side?

Got Action taken email yesterday GC approved today!

https://my.uscis.gov/account/case-service/api/cases/IOE0924922XXX Should have your receipt number as end of address. You have to have logged into myUSCIS recently for it to populate else you'll get an error. You can only look up your case numbers. Only useful bit is 'last updated'. Rest won't tell you anything that myUSCIS doesn't

best you can do is wait a day or two or ask Emma. I have an update today too but no change on myUSCIS yet

It's very Field Office specific (as well as usual fluctuations). I personally don't know any 2024 filer that has been waiting longer than 7 months for AOS. I think he was the longest we've had waiting (Applied Dec 2023 technically). The 2023 and 2022 filers seem to have been a bit 'left' behind. I don't have the largest sample size of K1 to AOS though as not everyone in k1 group stays active during AOS but yeah, from personal experience everyone I know has gotten in 7months or less recently. The 7 months also had RFEs, an interview scheduled then canceled so it was an odd one anyway. I do always say it can be anywhere from 2 weeks to a yr on ave though. I did see someone get it in 2 weeks which is rough when still waiting 😭 I wasn't originally bothered but it turn out a lot of local jobs in my field require gc, USC or travel so now I'm anxious for it. Have you been checking API to see when your case was last accessed or checked if it's at local field office yet? Mine was sent to KC early June

for k1 you need 100% of poverty line and assets need to be 5x the income req, think just over 100k now? spousal is 125% and assets need to be 3x Your parents will be cosponsors, so you'll both fill out an i-134 (or I-864 if you go spousal) I am not up to date on spousal or if you can do consular processing but I think spousal takes about 12-18months on ave in London Fiance is taking 6-8months Spousal is the better financially and giving your partner right to work/drive etc but if time is main priority, which it may be here with parents being ill, K1 may be better. As I say, not up to date on spousal route so I could be wrong but 'what is fastest' is not usually what people consider when advising here, for me that was a big factor which is why I did k1.

you'll need a joint sponsor EDIT: if your partner is Polish, make sure they have a Polish police certificate by interview or NVC stage for spousal (I think?). There's sometimes confusion for people who left their birth country young, no idea if that's your situation
