  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. and the average I-485 processing time as reported by other VJ members (all field offices) is about 223 days.
  5. 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".
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. *Hijack comment and reply split to new topic***
  9. So, your father is wanting a Green card? If so, how did he enter the US?
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. **Please keep this topic discussion here in this thread***
  13. ***One off topic comment removed. Please stay on topic***
  14. I don't think there is a fee for choosing item "3.b. My previous card was issued but never received."
  15. ***Offensive language removed from one comment****
  16. Include a copy of the I-130 receipt with the I-485 package.
  17. 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.
  18. For citizenship, two things matter: time married to a US citizen and time as a Green Card holder.
  19. One person reported their EAD taking 9.5 months a few days ago. This is one of the major disadvantages of a K-1.
  20. ***One comment edited to remove personal case information***
  21. I don't see how race would be a factor.
  22. When the divorce is finalized, it will immediately void the approved I-130. An approved I-130 gives you no rights regarding living in the US. A divorce will you give you no rights regarding living in the US. Right now, you are out of status and subject to detention/deportation. Based on what you have posted, I don't see any current basis for Adjustment of Status or remaining in the US... Right now, you have a 3 year ban when you exit the country. If you are deported, you might have a tough time getting back any time in the foreseeable future, imo.
