I would have your son ask the questions on this site. He will be the one responsible for all immigration decisions made.

Money Orders are also another payment method. I've used them in the past with good results.

There is a link below the 31 months that states "When can I ask about my case?" When you enter your receipt date and click the Get Inquiry Date button, it will tell you when you are allowed to inquire about your case. Until that date is past, you are still within processing times. Sorry, the waiting really sucks. My wife is about to submit her i751 too. She's not looking forward to the wait.

There is a question (Part 1, Question 11) on the i-485 asking if you have an online account number with USCIS. Did you fill that in with your account number? If not, that could be why you are being asked to create a new account. If yes, I think any pertinent documents would be uploaded to that pre-established account.

Congrats!!

We ran into similar road blocks in Indiana. Since the lack of current name on the SS card didn't cause us any hardships, we simply waited until she received her green card (never received an EAD card or AP document). We too, got her a SS card right after her arrival but before our marriage. I am a federal employee. We were able to 1. Enroll her in our FEHB health coverage without an SSN 2. Open a joint bank account at 5th 3rd without an SSN 3. Add her as my beneficiary for life insurance / TSP without an SSN 4. Obtain her a new PHP passport with her married name We were NOT able to 1. Get a state id / license without a green card or EAD because of the mismatched name on the SS card 2. Get her name changed at the SSA without a green card or EAD Once she received her green card 1. We were able to get her name changed on her SS card. 2. We were able to get her driver's permit, then license after in her married name I hope this helps.

My wife's 2 children (k2, follow to join, with 1 rfe each) received their green cards on June 10, 2024. Almost exactly one year from application date.

I agree with Crazy Cat. You are worrying about this too much. I remember looking over my original K1 petition and seeing a couple of errors related to birth places that I made in the petition. They were overlooked and never even mentioned to me as the petitioner or my fiance (now wife) during the interview.

There is a guide here to help you

Hello everyone, My wife's 2 children who came on a K2 visa were approved on May 24, 2024. We are waiting for the green cards now. Our receipt date was June 6, 2023. We had one RFE for immunization updates and an i864 problem.

If you do take it seriously, then please stop minimizing your actions by saying that the crimes were not a big deal and were not serious. I think you have received excellent advice today and also a year ago. Apply and if it gets approved, seek an immigration attorney who specializes in arrests.

You don't seem to take this very seriously. Your arrests are a very serious matter to immigration officers and they will take them into consideration regardless of how much you try to minimize your actions.

Hi I'm sorry about your situation. Here is what I would do. Talk calmly to your family and see why they are against the relationship. Consider their thoughts and feelings. If they are being unrealistic and controlling, then I would make plans to move out. You could would work multiple jobs. This would allow you to be away from home more often and away from their controlling tendencies. Save, Save, Save money until you can afford to find a place (room or apt) to live on your own. Maybe you have to move away from your family to avoid the higher cost of living. Once you have living arrangement, you will be totally free from your family's controlling ways. Keep working hard until you have your basic necessities met. Then, you can save for some form of transportation (car/motorcycle/bike). I agree with @Daphne .comments. I would think of this as adventure with a great reward at the end. You get to be with your fiance/wife and you'll be so busy working, you won't notice the long wait. A lot of information is left out in your post. How old are you? What country you're from? Do you have public transportation? Feel free to share if you feel comfortable.

Hello, My wife(fiance) emailed me her photo. After that, I called her in Hong Kong over Zoom . Then, I shared my screen with her and we filled out the form together online. She clicked Submit when I gave her control of the mouse. I hope that helps.

There is also a handy guide here on this site for the k1 procedure. You may get better, more specific advice if you have specific questions.
