Mine arrived 09/07/23. Married 09/10/23 filed AOS October 2023 (and created VJ group). We were lucky that GC came early in Dec 2023.

 

STRONGLY recommend starting on your I-751 proof of relationship document (https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/810436-october-2023-aos-filers/page/32/#comments) or happy to talk 1 on 1 with you.  Ours is already up to 50 pages.  Getting started, the first 10 were really hard even after just a few months to (even find the photos we already had to) organize it.

After holding the GC for 2 years (actually 21 months), we get the pleasure of filing forms again with USCIS, this time to remove conditions of residence (form i-751).  Along with that is yet another "proof" document that the relationship is real and ongoing.

And after I-751, there's one more time to prove bonafide marriage if filing N-400 based on marriage to US citizen.

 

Essentially, when naturalizing based on marriage to US citizen USCIS checks relationship several times:

 

1) During K-1 visa processing

2) During AOS

3) During Removal of Conditions

4) When naturalizing

 

 

This is designed to catch immigration fraud. Somebody has to be checked 4 times by potentially 4 different people throughout several years.
