  1. If someone filed by paper at the Elgin Lockbox, how do we fill out our timeline? There's no option for Elgin. Only Online, Phoenix, Dallas/Lewisville, and Nebraska.
  2. A co-worker of mine just did it. Her package was delivered on Dec. 28th and she got her SMS with case number on Jan. 15th and her money order was cashed on Jan. 16th. She filled the reduced fee section out but also wrote in her cover letter that she was applying for the reduced fee. She also put all the evidence she could to prove she qualified (her last 3 years tax transcripts, last month's pay stubs, and her last W-2). Might have been overkill but she figured it overlapped with other sections (e.g. tax transcripts). I don't know if it was the right move but she got her case number and they cashed her payment so we shall see.
  3. My spouse is waiting for citizenship to change her name. It's free at that time and the form has a space for name change.
  4. Sure, I would agree as long as the attorney, and more importantly their paralegals and associates, are savvy and conscientious. The last thing you want is to have to pay someone thousands of dollars then have them put more work onto yourself. I hired a lawyer for our I-130 and that happened to us. Repeated typos and misspellings and errors. And so I figured if I'm supplying everything and double checking everything anyway, why do I need them?
  5. Why did you use an attorney? It's so simple.
  6. You need to press your attorney for a refund for their mistakes and leave public reviews so others are aware. This is unacceptable.
  7. Why not just get married and consular process for a CR-1? Then you'd have the Green Card rather than having to adjust status after getting a K-1. But, yes, you can file the K-1 while here.
  8. Hello, asking for a coworker. She filed by paper because she qualified for the fee reduction. She mailed her paper N-400 filing on Dec. 23rd. It was delivered to the P.O. Box in Carol Stream, IL on Dec. 29th. But, her money order has still not been cashed and her G-1145 SMS has not arrived. Is this normal? Why is it taking so long?
  9. I believe it but OP said the goal was to bring fiancé here as fast as possible
  10. Is that still the case? Looking at the timelines, the K-1 seems to have picked up pace even when filtering for the Philippines. We withdrew our K-1 and filed CR-1 because K-1s were no better at the time. But, maybe things have changed post-pandemic?
  11. You could include photos of the ultrasound or medical records. And/or, ask the doc to write an affidavit. We included records of our fertility treatment.
  12. Got the biometrics appt. So far: 12/9/24 - Shipped; 12/11/24 - I-751 NOA1; 12/16/24 - Appeared on myUSCIS; 1/22/25 - Biometrics; National Benefits Center
  13. I'm guessing they're consular processing so they'd have to go to a panel physician. If their panel docs are anything like India, they won't do anything without an interview letter. maybe contact the consulate or NVC and try to add the newborn on?
  14. I think it'll be fine if you follow the attorney's advice or you don't but it's your call. You can order your attorney to do it how you want it.
  15. If you have a joint sponsor, why does it matter if year 2 and 3 are below the poverty line? So, I'd follow your attorney's instructions.
