  1. Just go there and hope for the best. Bring the letter. Hope u change ur address with USCIS btw
  2. it's fine as long you dont block/overlapped the detail.
  3. i will provide personal affidavites/letter to explain the wrong english translation.
  4. just do it after you move. at least you have a number already, 3 weeks wont make a different
  5. go to SSA office again then, or if there's option, go to different SSA office and file again u need to have "under review" ( at least in my case) if there's miss match and it has to be from SSA office and not DOL
  6. when u check here : https://save.uscis.gov/save/app/client/ui/case-check what did it say ? does it say "under review" or not? for "under review" itself, was 50 days total for me including public holiday and weekend. there's nothing u can do that i havent try yet during that period. i tried ombudsman, USCIS, multiple times calls to SSA office, congressperson and all dead end. total time for me almost 2 months until the card in hand
  7. i dont know where did you get the understanding. back 5-20 years ago K1 is faster that's correct. nowdays, CR1 is way "faster", when i say "faster" because it still roughly 2 years from filing the application until visa in hand
  8. no... just the 1st step...approval from USCIS u still need to deal with NVC and interview at the consulate/embassy best bet if u want to be quick, get marry, file i-130, withdraw K1, wait to be approved by USCIS, then NVC + consulate and get the visa. arrive in US as LPR instead of need to do AOS and wait wait again
  9. that USCIS time is more missed than hit. what im saying is, if you really need to sell house, nothing u can do. and for IR/CR1 since it's consular processing you dont have to worry much. u can update ur address when you move and when you file for DS-260 u can put the new address
  10. u can call USCIS but they wont give u any update that u dont know about. k-1 approval is long. i will just wait for it and focus on something else. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ average time 16.5 months now for california
  11. this is the first time i know someone got 10 questions even though already have 6 right answers
  12. just recent year https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-134instr.pdf read page 6 top part
  13. there's no "applying" for dual citizenship. if your home country allow dual citizenship, then you dont need to do anything since USA doesnt care about dual citizenship. if ur country doesnt allow you to have dual citizenship, then ur only option is to choose which citizenship you want
  14. try to push / expedite request so you can get your EAD.
  15. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/80-k-1-fiancee-visa-process-amp-procedures/
  16. he notoriously not that great when predicted interview dates. he predicted mine for at least 8-9 months for adjudication and i got it in 3 weeks
  17. no HIV testing regulation for medical but agree with others, dont think its good idea to hide those things to ur partner
  18. the new GC configuration is slightly different. the section for surname, given name etc arent align from top to bottom. look it up on google for new 2023 design. i had that one. so surname is slightly to the left, therefore ( i assume) u can fit more letters on surname name than the given name because the given name is slightly to the right ( hence shorter space for given name)
  19. No issue. I don’t want to change my last name even though my last name is super foreign for American. Husband also don’t want me to take his name because he said it’s old tradition. And god forbid if you divorced, have to change name again
  20. Get married, file AOS, do biometric and then file for expedite request. When I did expedite request for AP, USCIS never asked me for any evidence. There’s no hard rule about evidence. So gather whatever u have to back up the request
  21. if i were you, i wouldnt change my name. i didnt. too much headache to change all SSN, credit card, checking account, since i already have it before AOS. the only time i advise people to add married name when they only have literally 1 full name without surname which is common in my country. i have few acquaintance with only 1 name example : GAGA written in their passport. it's so hard in the US even to buy flight ticket because it's very uncommon in US, in their visa it become Gaga FNU ( first name unknown), or in the state ID become Gaga No name GIven. such a headache. i helped them filing AOS and i just added their husband name in all forms. voila they are become GAGA IHAVELASTNAMENOW. so in my practical mind, that's when adding spouse last name make sense.
