  1. Yep. I hear it's expensive...so I'll just keep buying from non-politically involved companies when I can.
  2. Great. Remember, N-400 can be filed when spouse becomes eligible......even if the I-751 has not been processed.
  3. The only issue I see will be if you fail to remove conditions as required.
  4. The incorrect date reflects ONLY the date the card expires. It does not reflect expiration of legal status.
  5. I am sure it doesn't cause any issues. Legal Status doesn't expire when the card does. That date is the expiration date of the card. There are no issues for N-400 filing. Yes. The card is evidence of legal resident status.
  6. I don't see an issue. Your spouse is a legal resident with either card.
  7. That is what I am doing. I have switched to the Champagne of Beers. I hear there is an alternative called Ultra Right which is gaining popularity.
  8. Your ties to China are irrelevant. His application will be considered based on his I-160.
  9. Tax transcripts or returns for the past 5 years.
  10. There are NO benefits in waiting to file the I-485...none. When you delay filing, you endanger yourself, delay working, delay being able to leave the US, delay applying for citizenship. Just as others have said, ANY non-immigrant is out of status and subject to removal after the expiration of their I-94. I would do whatever it takes to get a PROPER I-485 filed prior to I-94 expiration. A truly successful immigration process requires a lot of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and money.
  11. That is irrelevant. You need to talk to a COMPETENT tax preparer. Your spouse needs either a SSN or an ITIN to file a joint return. It matters not whether she is in the US or not.
  12. Nothing wrong with that. Not long ago, DOS was encouraging applicants to check other consulates for shorter waiting times. I saw that you asked about 2 different consulates.
  13. Consulate shopping, are we?
  14. I don't see an issue. In fact, showing that you are at the last phase of the legal immigration process would be beneficial. There is no travel prohibition during the process. Good luck.
  15. I would NOT pre-pay anything. He should be prepared to show strong ties to China, although the CO won't be obligated to look at his other documentation. I'm sure you know that all potential visitors are already assumed to have immigrant intent. Having a US GF does not help. . Good luck.
  16. Wife's N-400 was in that status for 3 months before interview was scheduled.
  17. I couldn't agree more. I am sure my wife and I would still be waiting for the I-751 approval had she not applied for citizenship.
  18. No harm, no delay.
  19. Consulates are not authorized to accept a case if an I-130 has already been filed with USCIS. The only thing you can do is request an expedite with USCIS....per regulation. Chapter 3 - Filing | USCIS "In addition, USCIS does not authorize DOS to accept a local filing abroad if the petitioner has already filed a Form I-130 domestically for the same beneficiary. If exigent circumstances exist, the petitioner should request expedited processing for an electronic or domestically-filed petition. Local consular or USCIS staff should inform the petitioner of the process to request expedited adjudication.[7]"
  20. That is exactly what our officer wanted to see....... Let us know where she will take the oath ceremony!!
  21. You are free to apply again. If your situation has significantly changed, you might be successful. No one here actually knows if the CO will approve a B2. However, a booked flight will have no impact. The maximum is 6 months, but the CBP officer will determine the length of authorized stay when you enter the US. Good luck.
  22. You cannot paste a scanned signature on a document. You should sign the document, then scan the entire signed document.
  23. No one here can answer that. I have seen it go both ways.
