Just a couple of really simple questions for the team here. I'm only asking because I haven't yet initiated the filing process online, and we have not utilized it before as it was not an option before.

1. When submitting proof the I-751 along with proof of bona fide relationship, will we be asked to upload a SINGLE pdf document? Or is there capability to upload multiple PDF documents?

2. When using the online process, will I have opportunities to fix mistakes before I submit, or is it one long process? (I.E., is there the ability to save progress, log out, and come back in to finish before submitting?)

Thanks for the insight!

My Thai stepdaughter was notified that she has her interview scheduled for 21 April in Bangkok at the US Embassy. What are the chances that her visa would be issued relatively soon after the interview?

Too much uncertainty with the ban in effect.

My NOA1 document arrived on July 10th. The initial application stated that my fianc had a past court record, but that he marked "no" on Form 129. We then submitted all court and police records, sworn statements, and the corrected Form 129 before our case was opened.

The July 10th files were opened on February 5th, and the corrections arrived on February 11th.

However, I still haven't heard anything about my case. We realized our mistake and submitted it before the RFE arrived.

The July files were opened, but there's no positive or negative response. USCIS will begin opening the August files. What should we do in this situation?

I m a US citizen who submitted an I-130 in October of 2023 online to request my Canadian husband s green card. It was received and still says case is still being processed by USCIS . It appears no progress has been made in almost 2.5 years. Every similar timeline was processed long ago. It s as if our paperwork has been completely forgotten and will never be done. Our lawyer has submitted 2 delay requests and called multiple time with no results. They just say there are delays (even though everyone else gets theirs back in a year. Has anyone else had this and what should we do?

Hello VisaJourney Community,

I need advice regarding filling out the N400 form. I am applying based on the 3-year rule, and I will be eligible to apply in a week.

1) Before getting a green card, I had to voluntarily withdraw my application for admission at some point. I was issued an I275 and later received my immigrant visa and had no problem entering the country. In the 400N form, do I need to respond yes to the question asking if I have ever been removed or deported from the U.S.? And if I have ever been arrested, cited,detained or confined by immigration official for any reason, and if I have ever been placed in removal, rescission or deportation proceedings? I still have the I275 form, and I am planning on attaching it in the addition evidence section, but I wanted to know if any of these questions apply to my situation.

2) The N400 asks about the travel history for the last 3 years. Since I am applying 3 months earlier, the 3 month period covers the time when I was not in the U.S., because I was not a resident at that time. Do I need to mention that?

3) I know that NVC has been very particular about the way that the documents have to be scanned and attached. Is there a rule that USCIS follows? What document orientation is required?

4) I know that good moral character used to mean not having any criminal record. I believe that has changed now. Do I need to attach letters of volunteering, a recommendation letter from work and things like that?

Thanks a lot!
