  1. That's fair, in the light of the current administration.
  2. I'd say it's even better to file (electronically) by yourself. I've come across cases where the lawyer didn't file electronically, prolonged the whole process, and even failed to properly communicate with a client. If it's a simple case, as yours seems to be, electronic filing is the fastest, safest, and cheapest option.
  3. I don't think the "certified copy" is even the official instruction. From what I remember, that's something printed on that flyer(https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/guides/G-1151.pdf), but is in fact not an actual requirement. Many people, including myself, were worried about the "certified" part, but I've never heard anyone getting an RFE because of it. The cynic in me suspects that this "instruction" is a tactic for discouraging immigrants from naturalizing.
  4. You'll need a lawyer for that. What was the basis for the inadmissibility?
  5. Where NOT explicitly stated, write the "given name" first, as in "Jane Doe." In many forms the last name comes first, but that would be specifically instructed. Given name = First name. Surname = Last name.
  6. It could've got finalized (decision made) but because it's not current yet the approval is still pending, so they closed it. Just guessing.
  7. Probably, yes. The I-140 step may take a lot longer than it seems, depending on the country where you were born (citizenship doesn't matter).
  8. Are you also born in Canada? Once the approved I-140 is sent to the NVC it's hard to tell how long it will take to get the visa number and for the consulate to schedule the interview, especially in the current climate.
  9. Elon Musk may turn USCIS into whatever Twitter has become.
  10. Are you talking about the receipt # or the I-94 number? Unless the form has changed, the I-94 # is a series of numbers. It's different on every new I-797. How do you know the correct number? Sorry if I'm not understanding something basic here. I'm not sure if the current I-797A will be needed, but it's likely. If you know the printing error, simply mention that to the new employer and they can make a note of it and include it in the application package. The error should be then corrected by USCIS together with the approval of the new application.
  11. The new employer can file a new H1B case, yes. You'll get a new I797 form if approved. How do you know that there's a printing mistake?
  12. Was your Form I-360 approved or not? What is the attorney saying?
  13. Unless you are not IN FACT only visiting the US while actually residing abroad, as seems to be the case here.
  14. For start, you shouldn't refer to a foreign country as "home." Your home is in the US, or you are seriously violating the LPR status.
  15. If you formally state that you weren't living in the US permanently during that year, the actual dates notwithstanding, you violated the continuous residence requirement. That would be technically true even if you were physically present in the US the whole time. As an LPR you are required to permanently reside in the US, but you are stating here that this wasn't the case.
