  1. No, I'm not. He's my petitioner for my GC via Consulate right now so him being able to apply for naturalization and being able to convert from F2A would be super duper helpful. That's what I thought too re the automatic registration but he checked, not found in the selected service system and he had his SSN way before his Green Card. Thanks for all this info -- it's helpful.
  2. Yep, partner as in spouse / husband. He got his GC from Employment based (I-485) back in 2019.
  3. That was not willingly and knowingly failed to register. I was reading online and while this is not a unique situation, it seems like you either wait until your 31 or write a sworn affidavit that you did not willingly and knowingly failed to register, etc. with a potential lawyers help. Yes, the law is the law but just seeing if anyone has completed their naturalization process successfully similar to this or waited until their 31.
  4. My partner got his GC through employment years ago and was not aware of selective service. He's 29 and was not knowingly or willfully failed to register. When he found out, he checked his files and also the online verification site. We know he can wait until 31 but wanted to see whether anyone passed their N400 without selective service and was under 31? We're thinking of providing a written sworn statement from him, etc. as evidence.
  5. I haven't found a singular thread that allows for people to post about their I-824 journey. I-130 was already a mentally exhausting processing and only go through with the support in different communities and adding on I-824, feels like this will be testing a lot of people's patience, including myself. I'm hoping this can be a continuous thread to update each other on the filing, processing time, service center, etc or for people to answer each others questions.
  6. For your I-824 package - did you have to include a cover letter of any sort?
  7. Sorry! I honestly didn't know whether it would be sent to our lawyers or not becuase previously, my partner / petitioner would recieve all the equivalent forms. We had a change of lawyers as well so knowing USCIS, we were hoping it would have just been sent directly to us.
  8. No no. I got my I-130 approved 10 days ago and I just get really worried with snail mail. My partner / the petitioner received the courtsey approval mail and it said explicity this is not the official copy so we were worried it was sent to our previous lawyer who withdrew their G-28 a few months ago or it went to our current lawyers. It seems like it takes 7 or so odd days to receive the official approval notice. Our current lawyer received it this past weekend.
  9. Thank you!! Just to update -- I received the courtsey copy 5 business days after the approval, and it seems like the official approval also arrvied at my lawyers office approximately 5-7 days as well.
  10. @ASH23 how long did it take until you received your official approval notice in the mail?
  11. Gotcha - so I have to file a I-824 to send my approved I-130 case to NVC unfortunately. Does this change whether I need the official I-130 approval notice to attach to my I-824 application or the courtsey one is sufficient? I overworry
  12. My I-130 was approved 9/14 and my partner (petitioner) received the courstey I-797C approval notice online but it says an official one will be sent. We received the I-797C courtsey approval one in the mail after 7 business days, when can we typically expect the formal watermarked I-797 approval notice? Thanks! This is just an anxious experience and we just want to make sure we're doing things correctly. We assumed the I-797 official mail is needed to file the I-824.
  13. Is the I-797C courtesy approval mail sufficient to attach to the I-824? I'm just curious. My spouse / the petitioner received the I-130 I-797C courtesy physical mail 7 business days after our approval. I don't know how long it takes for the I-797 official approval to arrive.
