    Consular processing takes about 2-3 years. Immigrant would have more flexibility waiting in their country. US citizen doesn't have to spend as much feeding two people and paying higher fees for adjustment compared to overseas case.

    Change of status is also routinely denied after waiting a long time. Good that she doesn't want to do it. File for adjustment of status to get GC after marriage. Forms: I-130, I-130A, I-485, I-864, I-693, I-131 (optional, but recommended), I-765 (optional, but very recommended), G-1145 (optional). Lawyer is optional, many do it DIY. But good representation never hurts. Many months of wait, foreign spouse won't be able to work or leave the US for a while.

    1,2 - nice to have. Not a requirement. If you want to help adjudicator - why not

    I-129F is not your petition, it's US citizen's petition. Not sure how you could combine I-129F and I-751 under same account for example.

    Hopefully OP isn't trolling. I'm confused for sure, need further clarification of OP's immigration path before I can reply with suggestions.

    I checked the box. Now I kinda regret it though. I have SS card without any restrictions. Looks like I may get a replacement card, which is going to be identical. I only needed to update citizenship status in SSA database. There's a limit on how many times one can replace SS card...

    Then you don't have a problem filing when you become eligible. Don't file on first day of early filing window. Wait a few days. However, you had other questions related to filing which may affect time you can file. Please give full picture. The way you frame questions right now provides limited scope. Responders won't know the full context unless they research other threads you opened. Good luck!

    You meet physical presence for N-400, I'm asking about continuous residence.
  9. OldUser
    Did you have any single trip in 2024 longer than 6 months? Are you filing taxes as resident for all years you were a LPR including upcoming taxes for 2024?

    You cannot unring the bell. It will always remain in history with USCIS. I'd say it's probably the least of your concerns right now with everything going on in your life. Stay safe and seek divorce ASAP.

    It won't disqualify, but the more you sponsor, the more difficult it gets.

    You can safely ignore consular official advice. They haven't analyzed the case. This is a complicated matter. Please rely on lawyer's analysis.
  13. OldUser
    This is normal. All you have to wait. After 120 days since N-400 interview you can sue USCIS for decision.

    Please contact SSA. Probably SAVE verification fails.

    Do as much as you can. Add the spouse to utility bills, lease, banks. Send as much evidence as you can. Pictures are great but they don't carry as much weight as other evidence.

    File I-90 You want a replacement GC. You don't have to pay the fees if this was USCIS mistake. Don't send GC with I-90, only a copy.

    I believe I-864A will be required as joint sponsor files taxes jointly. So the following should be filed: - I-864 by nephew as main sponsor - I-864 by joint sponsor - I-864A by joint sponsor's spouse

    It probably means nothing. Biometrics appointment is not an interview. This MyProgress thing is wrong all the time.

    I wish these words could be pinned somewhere / wrote in bold font in Removal of Conditions forum.

    I think the lawyer wants to make some $$$$ filing N-400. There's no point to file N-400 right now, it's a waste of money. USCIS doesn't believe you had abusive marriage. They also didn't receive much evidence of bonafide marriage. You're on trajectory of losing LPR status and being put in removal proceedings. N-400 is the last thing you should be thinking. It may take many more years to become a US citizen. I recommend focusing on I-751 and ensuring you have the strongest case that will save your green card and allow you to remain in the US.
  21. OldUser
    Yes, you should file it when physically in the US. Filing it outside the US is an easy denial.
  22. OldUser
    I would forget about N-400 for now. You have an issue getting your I-751 approved. Without I-751 approved, N-400 is worthless and won't be approved. Battery / extreme cruelty waiver sounds like a good idea until it's not. Many think it's an easier route to paint the other party as a bad guy. What you describe is unfortunate and sign of toxic, disfunctional relationship. I'm sorry you had to go through all of this. At the same time, it does not seem to be a strong enough case for USCIS. Did you seek shelter at any point? Did you have any witnesses of you being abused? Did you now get mental evaluation? Good luck

    The only time I filed taxes incorrectly which caused me owing money was when I used a tax professional. After that, DIY approach never let me down. But I did research quite a bit to file everything correctly.
  24. OldUser
    He files taxes incorrectly. Generally, this can cause IRS audit at some point. Ans this disqualifies him from being a joint sponsor. There's no reason to use this joint sponsor, you'll get a RFE asking for a qualifying sponsor.

    AFAIK, only California Service Center (WAC)
