    Just checking in here. We got approved freakishly fast and now we are filing N-400. Anyone else get approved? Have y'all filed N-400 yet?

    By pure chance, we were unable to file as my wife had to rush abroad (ill mother). Looks like we lucked out as there's a new policy requiring biometrics for all N-400 if I am reading that right. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/policy-manual-updates/20251212-PhotographReuse.pdf

    My wife traveled tons. But after DQ and before Interview she actually accumulated 6 months in Dubai. But, I had her preemptively get a PCC from Dubai and bring it to interview. They made her leave the consulate, upload the PCC, update the DS-260, then come back (and only gave her limited time to do all of that). So just watch your time in a given country to see if you need a PCC.

    I told you

    Take ALL processing times, here or USCIS website or any other website, with a big grain of salt.

    Click on timelines of this very website. That's why it's important for everyone to update their timelines. When we were going through the process, there were India specific groups for tracking DQ to Interview trends on Facebook and Telegram. I even made a spreadsheet and graph but you probably won't have to go through that. Things were crazy during Covid. You can also check here but I don't know how accurate it is: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html

    In many cultures, you marry for love, in other cultures, marriage is arranged. Whether love or not, you marry to make a life together as spouses. The immigration benefit is a side consequence of the marriage not the purpose. If it were the purpose, that would be fraud. So the answer is no, assuming the marriage is legit.

    Thanks but filling the timeline helps everyone, at all stages of the immigration process. And, it's easier to sort data in the timelines. Like I routinely check the N-400 timelines for my local USCIS field office to see if there's any new data points. If someone at the same field office posted in a Jan. 2026 filer thread, I'd probably not catch it. But, I would if they filled their timeline.

    When did you file? You should fill out your timeline.
  10. JD2
    Did you ever apply for your N-400?
  11. JD2
    I've seen some people complain that they can't fill certain fields, not realizing that they would be auto-filled if they had used Adobe.
  12. JD2
    You still have to fill in the name and A-Number of the petitioner (if any)

    Standard I-864 Correct. Lots of people do this. I intend to do this with my mother-in-law after spouse becomes USC. File the I-130 then leave it at NVC until she's ready to immigrate.

    My in-law is about to do it without an attorney. Her doctor filled out the form and we shall see if it works.

    Well scan it then print a single sided copy

    This has been asked several times. You can search for past threads.

    Unless, when the Democrats retake control, they ditch the filibuster. Then we could enter a period of back and forth 180 degree changes every 4-8 years.
  18. JD2
    I just read it more closely. They could do a lot of it but not all
  19. JD2
    Doesn't the State Department already have the power to do this without an Act of Congress?
  20. JD2
    The I-130 will still be good whenever you find a sponsor and are ready to proceed at NVC.
  21. JD2
    The only company worth it is Argo Visa IMHO. They are actually former consular officers.
  22. JD2
    With all due respect, I would file the I-130 right away. You have tons of time to figure out sponsor while the I-130 is processing.
  23. JD2
    Financially you can do whatever you want. It's your money. You don't even have to volunteer this to USCIS or NVC or Consulate. Just don't lie to the IRS or USCIS, NVC or Consulate if they ever ask and most likely you will be fine.

    not at all. my brother's wife (from UK) did it several times. my wife visited from India on B2. Once my bro's wife was asked about the length of her visit and how she can take that much time off but she gave her honest answer and that was that.

    Which country are they from?
