https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-the-meaning-and-value-of-american-citizenship/ With all the speculations about the revoking of birthright citizenship order of the 14th Amendment, the above link has the actual verbiage. Does anyone have any ideas about the interpretation or how this will affect the current USCIS policies?

The archived 2020 civics test can not be found here. https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/2020test Anyone know where to find the 2020 civics test?

I-751 January 2025 Filers
EatBulaga replied to Qui's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
Thanks. But we don't have the online account number in NOA1 or NOA2. The online access number was sent in an email separately to us, but it was a 1-time use code. -
I-751 January 2025 Filers
EatBulaga replied to Qui's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
Thanks. I did not realize G-1145 is not submitted with the I-751. Where did you find your USCIS online account number? I could not find our USCIS online account number in the https://my.uscis.gov/ login? https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/827933-how-to-find-the-uscis-online-account-number-in-myuscisgov/ -
I-751 January 2025 Filers
EatBulaga replied to Qui's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
Greetings all, I'm anxiously awaiting to join the January 2025 filers club. My cover letter and evidence list look like https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/827917-what-do-you-think-about-this-cover-letter-i-751/ Any feedback is welcome. I will probably send the I-751 package out sometime next week. I'm just trying to make sure all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed 😂 -
@Sm1smom I think you mean USCIS sends the Online Access Code which is different from the Online Account Number. The Online Access Code is sent along with the NOA1 after the I-485 is received so the applicant can track the status. I did see the Online Account Number somewhere at one point, but can not find it now, or forget where it was used? @OldUser I appreciate your response, but apparently, the Online Account Number does not show up in our my.USCIS.gov. So the question now is the Online Account Number ever used or what is its purpose? Why would the forms I-129F, I-485, and I-751 ask for it if it is optional?

Invoice ID is from NVC. The consulate might have it as well? -
Need advice Petitioning for 3rd person
EatBulaga replied to miamusa's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Have you completed your I-864 financial support responsibilities for your 2 ex's? If not, USCIS may red flag that as reason to deny. -
We are currently house-sitting for family members and will include an explanation of our living situation in Part 11 of the I-751. Our bills show joint accounts for the utilities. Since there are some redundant overlap in the evidence time period between the I-751 and the N-400, we are including bimonthly bill statements like the odd months with the I-751 and the even months with the N-400 plus the extra year for the 3-year rule requirement. Thanks for the reminder to include the driver's licenses.

2nd RFE for Vacs sheet
EatBulaga replied to cosyvibes's topic in Adjustment of Status Case Filing and Progress Reports
I have not seen 2 RFEs just for the medical, but I have seen others posting their RFE with 2 missing requirements in which they needed the I-693 medical. If you do get 2 medical RFEs, most likely you need to include the I-693 with the I-485. Check out https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alerts/uscis-now-requires-report-of-immigration-medical-examination-and-vaccination-record-to-be-submitted and https://www.uscis.gov/i-693 If you do get I-485 denied, depending on the incompletion or non- compliance, you need to complete or to comply then resubmit a new I-485 with the fee again. If your incompletion or non-compliance is complicated, then you may need to pay an immigration lawyer to help you. -

Pregnancy during petition
EatBulaga replied to ND17's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
If you want to include additional information about your pregnancy, you can do so in Part 11 of the I-751. List: Page Number 3, Part Number 5, Item Number 1-6, and explain when you are expecting. Document the pregnancy for USCIS so they know what to expect if you show up with a newborn to the interview. Pregnancy and newborns can be good evidence for a bona fide relationship. But as others have said, list only the children you have on the date of the form submission. -
I-751 December 2024 Filers
EatBulaga replied to Arsalan111's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
Hello to all who got a biometrics appointment. Can you get your biometrics done before the scheduled appointment date like for the AOS? Or do you have to wait till the biometrics appointment? -
1. Read the I-864 "Responsibilities as Sponsor": https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/affidavit-of-support When you sign the affidavit of support, you accept legal responsibility for financially supporting the sponsored immigrant(s), generally until they become U.S. citizens or are credited with 40 quarters of work. Your obligation as a sponsor also ends if you or the individual sponsored dies or if the individual sponsored ceases to be a lawful permanent resident and departs the United States. Note: Divorce does NOT end the sponsorship obligation. If an immigrant you sponsored receives any means-tested public benefits, you are responsible for repaying the cost of those benefits to the agency that provided them. If you do not repay the debt, the agency or the immigrant can sue you in court to get the money owed. Any joint sponsors and household members who allowed the sponsor to combine their income with the sponsor’s income to meet the minimum income requirements are also legally responsible for financially supporting the sponsored immigrant. In fact, any joint sponsor and household member is jointly or severally liable with the petitioning sponsor, meaning that the joint sponsor and household member are independently liable for the full extent of the reimbursement obligation and can be sued in court or be asked to pay the money owed, even if the petitioning sponsor is not sued or asked for money. You could theoretically convince your ex to get US naturalized or voluntarily leave the US. But that does not eliminate any accrued means-tested public benefits which you are obligated to repay. 2. Until #1 is met, moving and marrying broad does not end your I-864 legally binding contract with the US government. USCIS may not accept another Affidavit of Support from you for another immigrant, and may even request you pay back any means-tested public benefits. Even if you move abroad and renounce your US citizenship, the accrued debt can still linger.

@Jsut78 I'm following the I-751 guidelines from USCIS "Checklist of Required Initial Evidence (for informational purposes only)" https://www.uscis.gov/i-751 and VJ guidelines for I-751 https://www.visajourney.com/guides/removing-conditions-permanent-residency/ and follow USCIS Form Filing Tips https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/tips-for-filing-forms-by-mail

Yes. You order from PSA the official ROM. It is printed on some yellowish-greenish official paper. The lower part "OFFICIAL USE ONLY. DO NOT WRITE ANYTHING BELOW THIS BOX" is officially filled in and stamped. For the self-addressed stamped envelope included for the consulate, all the original documents were returned after about 6 months: ROM signed, Marriage Certificate, Birth Certificate, Passport copies, and cashier's check receipt. Yes, you use the official ROM from PSA for the Philippines Passport renewal, name change update, etc.
