  1. Many folks are getting interviews deschedules. Could be proximity to holidays, could be internal changes at USCIS field office or new policy. Give them few months. If no new interview is scheduled in few months, you can sue USCIS for decision on I-751. Are you from one of the 19 countries?
  2. Petition can be indefinitely stuck in processing, not necessarily denied. Legally, OP can choose this route, but it can raise some eyebrows at USCIS / DOS. IMHO, it is a lot clearer just to get married at court house etc like 99% of couples would do.
  3. Fantastic, congrats and happy birthday!
  4. Ok, good luck! Is May 2026 the earliest you can come to the US on permanent basis? Just come as soon as you can and have your evidence ready.
  5. Nobody here can predict for sure. If you have a 10 year GC, you should be able to reenter. What ties to the US do you maintain? Do you file taxes? Do you have bqnk accounts? Anything else?
  6. You can always try, but it is unlikely it's going to be granted. As @frange24 said, it's typically hardship to US citizen that may qualify for expedition. Even then, majority of expedite requests are ignored / denied.
  7. Yes, this is normal. Nobody expects tons of joint financials etc when you just marry each other. In few years, when removing conditions or becoming a citizen it's going to be expected, but not this early into relationship. You'd be mostly focusing on proving you spent time together, visiting each other, photos together, maybe chats etc
  8. This is a scary statement. Immigration can be long, difficult, expensive with various challenges including separation, no matter which route you take (K-1 or CR-1). What if you come to the US in K-1 and found inadmissable for whatever reason, then needing to get waiver. Or you're put in removal for whatever reason. Are you absolutely sure you want to get married?
  9. I would not assume that. I-129F and getting visa in passport can take almost much as CR-1. Maybe 2-3 months shorter in some cases. I-129F can expire, unlike I-130. If there is a travel ban or some new restriction, usually spouses of US citizens are exempted, but not fiances. Just few points to think about.
  10. Marrying online when you are together at same physical location can look odd for USCIS. Why not put some effort and get married normally, like most couples would? If process is too difficult, why can't you go to your home country or other country nearby with easier rules? Nothing stops you from marrying online, it just seems unusual when you are in same location. The less unusual things, the better for immigration.
  11. Nice Christmas present!
  12. 2. Yes, because if you get denied or rejected while outside the US and your GC expired - you'll find it challenging to enter the US.
  13. Nice! Well prepared folks with stacks of evidence get rarely asked for anything. It's when you come emptyhanded, you get more scrutiny
  14. I doubt he can get GE so quickly? But worth trying
  15. Historically, he should be OK
  16. Here it is: https://www.uscis.gov/i-140g Note the hefty $15K filing fee
  17. What's their citizenship?
  18. Thank you for reporting this and congratulations!
  19. Congrats! Once you become a citizen, don't forget to update your status at SSA and get yourself a large passport book (free upgrade)
  20. Included it as an option, I personally never used it. Just like "United State" (note the missing "s")
  21. Option 1 - file N-400 if you are eligible and wish to naturalize. This sometimes moves I-751. Option 2 - Hire a lawyer to file Writ of Mandamus (sue USCIS for decision) Option 3 - Submit inquiries (low success rate) or contact congressman Option 4 - Just wait
  22. Have you moved addresses since you filed I-751 or N-400? If you have around $5k lying around, you can hire a lawyer to sue USCIS for decision on I-751.
  23. Don't do it. You have perfectly valid extension letter extending your GC until 2028. If you get ADIT, your GC may be taken away. ADIT is only valid for 1 year max, so you'd be constantly renewing it
