    We didn't add all of the same evidence from the I-751 with new evidence for the N-400, but I did make sure there was overlap between the two.

    Do you want to risk this considering the current climate regarding illegal immigration (because that's exactly what you are proposing)? Would you feel the same way if your girlfriend is denied entry and put on a plane home (if she's lucky) or be detained indefinitely (reports of this scenario have become more common)? Also, CBP can look at your phone/texts/emails/check any electronics when entering the U.S. If you are being this cavalier about it, I certainly wouldn't trust you to not have something incriminating on your phone about your "plan".

    I'm assuming adding her to your insurance wasn't (and isn't) an option?

  14. beloved_dingo
    From the I-130 instructions: Copies. You should submit legible photocopies of requested documents unless the Instructions specifically instruct you to submit an original document. USCIS may request an original document at any time during our process. If we request an original document from you, we will return it to you after USCIS determines it no longer needs the original. NOTE: If you submit original documents when they are not required or requested, USCIS may destroy them after we receive them. TL;DR: They typically will only return original documents that were specifically requested.

    I guess my first question is - were these documents actually missing from your I-485 filing? Meaning, did you not submit the tax return(s) referenced above, or the I-864 Affidavit of Support for either the joint sponsor or petitioner, etc.? Did the petitioner qualify with only their income or was a joint sponsor needed?

    Your options are a) get a W-2 job with sufficient income or b) get a joint sponsor with sufficient income.

  24. beloved_dingo
    I was able to add my husband (then fiancé) to my bank account before he has an SSN, but he was already physically in the U.S. At this point, you already know you absolutely have to find a solution to the income problem ASAP. I don't think the foreign fiancé's assets are a solution, even if you were able to add them to your account. The petitioner doesn't necessarily need a "full time job" but they do need income that satisfies the requirements or a qualified joint sponsor. Does the petitioner have no family members who would be willing to sponsor? There is no point in conjecture over the RFE until you actually receive it.

    While it is odd they asked for the 2024 tax return, it is normal for them to request more recent tax returns when too much time has elapsed, so in this case it makes perfect sense for them to ask for the most recent tax return (2023).

    The OP was already planning to do this: I think their concern was travelling that far and spending the night only to find out the ceremony wasn't even happening.

    Is the $49,075 just her income, or the total income for both of you for 2024?

    The US citizen has the job offer.

    We didn't provide any photos with the online N-400 application for my husband. We did have a few printed out that he took with him to the interview, just in case, but it was maybe 5-6 total. (They didn't ask to see them)
  33. beloved_dingo
    I know it seems unfair but you have to look at it from an outside perspective. He has a relative in the U.S., which is a strong incentive for him to stay in the U.S. rather than go home. He is a young student without much income, which is not a strong tie to his home country. Additionally, your willingness to pay for/financially support him for this trip doesn't really help his case, because you could also financially support him if he overstayed. Further, tourist visa applications are reviewed under the lens of presuming the person has immigrant intent - if he doesn't have strong ties to his home country, he cannot overcome this presumption. Lastly, as others have noted, his home country is considered a high-fraud country, due to previous individuals overstaying and misusing their visas. If/when he has a career, owns property, and/or has a family in his home country (spouse, kids), his odds will be better but still no guarantee.

    I would hang tight for now. First, it's possible it was already delivered but tracking wasn't updated (this happened to me recently with passport renewal - I received my new passport BACK and the tracking still didn't show that my application was even delivered). If that's the case, you'll likely get a receipt notice soon and you'll know everything is fine. It's also possible that has gotten tied up with USPS but will show as delivered any day now. I would give it at least a few more business days before worrying.
  35. beloved_dingo
    The answer is this varies by office/location. I was not allowed to enter the building for my husband's N-400 interview in 2023. Security told me they would let me know if I was needed (I wasn't). I (and everyone else there with a spouse/loved one) watched the citizenship ceremony through the windows.
