  1. The petitioner was scheduled for biometrics? If so, it is not the norm for a petitioner to be scheduled for a biometrics appointment for an I-130, but it happens occasionally. There could be questions regarding you identity or background.
  2. ***Moved to Adjustment of Status from Worst, Student, and Tourist Visas***
  3. You need to become an "A Student" of the process and the forms associated with adjusting status as shown in the guide below if you are adjusting from a tourist visa or student visa as spouse of a US citizen. In addition, the US citizen spouse needs to join us here. Be aware that you will not be able to work inside the US or leave the US for up to 9 months after filing the I-485, I-131, and I-765.
  4. and, of course, Governor Hochul is outraged at the latest NY ICE operation. "Hochul said such operations “will not make New York safer” and will “shatter hard-working families who are simply trying to build a life here.”"
  5. I think maybe the OP has been in the US about 32 weeks......filed I-485 about 20 weeks ago.
  6. Nor have I.....for the reasons you stated. I think that we are rapidly approaching the place where kids will be totally dependent on AI. There will be a lack of critical thinking and problem solving skills. In addition, AI is the perfect, biased tool for social engineering....dictating and reforming morality and culture. I don't like where we are going......but I see no stopping it.
  7. Of course, it is. I was just quoting statistics. I didn't realize that many US citizens have passports. I thought it would be much fewer. However, I think the number of naturalized citizens (like the OP) is much higher than 50%, but I haven't found any stats on that.
  8. Unfortunately, there is more waiting than any of us want in every phase of the journey. Now, that every AOS receives an interview, I would expect the average processing time to increase. There isn't much we can do except to continue learning about the next phase.
  9. and the average I-485 processing time as reported by other VJ members (all field offices) is about 223 days.
  10. The path of least resistance is often the best course of action. When I was in the military (about 50 years ago), we had a saying..."Cooperate and Graduate".
  11. It seems that a very low percentage of I-751s are actually denied....including appeals.....That tells me that the process prior to submitting I-751s is sufficiently eliminating fraudulent marriages. I have, for years, advocated eliminating the I-751 and conditional Green cards. To my knowledge, my wife and I have one of the longest I-751 processing times with no RFEs....44 months.
  12. 45% to 50% of all US citizens, I have read. I thought the number would be much smaller. There are more than 169,000,000 active US passports in circulation.
  13. *Hijack comment and reply split to new topic***
  14. So, your father is wanting a Green card? If so, how did he enter the US?
  15. Not an issue. However, most people opt for a US passport because it allows travel outside the country, and because it is another proof of US citizenship. In addition, a passport is easier than a Naturalization Certificate, imo, to replace if needed.
  16. In France? I might be confused, but I'm not understanding this part (unless you mean after the US marriage and AP) because K-1 marriages must take place inside the US. Once you marry anywhere (prior to K-1 marriage inside the US), the K-1 is void, and you have to start from scratch with a spousal visa. We might have covered this earlier, but one option is to have a simple marriage now, and start the spousal visa process. You are then free to have celebration ceremonies any time and any place.
  17. **Please keep this topic discussion here in this thread***
  18. ***One off topic comment removed. Please stay on topic***
  19. I don't think there is a fee for choosing item "3.b. My previous card was issued but never received."
  20. ***Offensive language removed from one comment****
  21. Include a copy of the I-130 receipt with the I-485 package.
  22. I would email the consulate and request an extension of the approved I-129F. Consulates normally automatically extend them in 4 month increments for a year......but it doesn't hurt to ask them.
