  1. Maybe they help with the stuff needed for the interview? E.g ds160, the financial affidavit and accompany documents, etc ?
  2. Daang, I should start filling out forms for people for $$$$. Did not know it was this expensive. If you and fiancé have like 0 issues like former drug abuse, run-ins with the law etc it shouldn't be complicated. Do they provide anything else beside filling out forms for you? I don't think you can take a lawyer for an embassy interview.... If you can read and follow directions and have a bit of attention to detail it is not that hard. Sure it needs some research but this forum basically has it all and you can ask questions. Most of us here did it on our own and we were fine. "I was told that filling DS160 to schedule interview is really sensitive and needs to be done with precautions." What does this even mean? What I would do is spend like 3 hours on this forum and in the Guides section some of it might be outdated but in general it gives u an idea of the steps you need to do, then see how you feel about the process, also u can google ds160 form examples (it is an online form so probably harder to practice than just on a simple pdf) then decide if you feel up to it or $1500 worth that you don't have to learn/do it yourself.
  3. That section is more like for if you go by X but your real name is Y. E.g you go by Bill or Will but your id has William on it. Or Ralph but you go by Ralphie Or you picked up an american name because your real name is hard to pronounce etc
  4. we picked every 3 months (quarter) and sent in total of 8 for the 2 years. we sent in the full bank statement. we also highlighted our income going into the shared account on the statements, paying utility bills, car payments for the car we both owned, etc I think it is more important that you show continuity of shared expenses/income and mingling finances. If you have shared account but nobody is using it that is more of an issue.
  5. Depending where the festival is you might need to cross United States Border Patrol interior checkpoint. Usually they are close to land borders up to a 100 miles inland from the edges of the country. Mostly in texas, new mexico, arizona and california (south border).
  6. I didn't know USCIS waived the initial AOS interview. I heard of ROC being waived (mine was too)
  7. Until DOGE gets to it. Anyway as others said don't redact it. You can send in your IRS transcripts which you can download from https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript
  8. It is a gray area because the ESTA/tourist visa is not for living in the US. The 90 days to 6 months for tourist visas is quite normal around the world and some people use that 90 day to the limit. My guess is back when these time frames were adopted nobody really thought that people would try to stay up to the last day and that creates these situations that are not really thought out. Plus globalization and tech advancements that you can work from anywhere in some cases. I think your MIL is going to be fine, there is no expectation of putting your life on hold (e.g not paying bills) while in the US. It would be completely different if she would be managing a property in the US while on ESTA. I would be more worried about the frequency (and length) of the visits.
  9. Don't sell yourself for a "free" phone. Even if the budget is tight you can get a decent (Moto g g5 2024) model for like $150 on amazon that is the US version. Also as a new immigrant it will be interesting to get a whole new post paid plan right out of the gate
  10. If you get roaming on it, it means it can connect to the US towers. It might happen that you won't get the full feature set and at some areas (rural mainly) in the US you won't get cell service or data connection but in general it should work. As others suggested try it with your partners sim card and see if data/calls are working. You might need APN settings for that carrier.
  11. Could be skilled trades too. They do have to get a license right?
  12. What about child support? did you pay that over the years?
  13. Haven't used the website in a while. It used to be next to Case status , Case history, Documents when you look at the petition on my.uscis.gov
  14. Look under the documents and you will find the letter if you don't want to wait until the snail mail comes. Once you know what they want you can prepare it and once the real letter comes send it back as the instructions says.
