    Yep

    I mean, it's not like anybody can prevent people from doing it. And OldUser isn't going to be there stopping somebody in real world 😅. I just dislike the idea personally. My experience doing expedited passport application was very pleasant. Got passport rather quickly. Initially thought about buy & cancel method too, but spouse said it's not good starting life as a US citizen cheating the system 🥲 It also looks like there is specific category for Life and Death which I didn't realize: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/get-fast.html So maybe buy & cancel isn't affecting those who need to go to funeral etc. Sorry I sounded too harsh to begin with. Just my $0.02.

    Risky thing, which us morally wrong to do. Others need urgent appointments for life and death situations... It's not worth it, I got my passport in the mail few weeks after applying.

    So technically, you can apply now if you have digital copy of certificate, and order certified copied for later. You may or may not be asked for original during N-400 interview. I was never asked for original. But you never know. Also, certified copy may be useful / needed for many more things other than immigration.

    India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh - all of them neighboring countries are pretty heavily scrutinized IMHO

    You can submit the form. Why not submit it? If you have approved green card, your STEM OPT is no longer active.

    Yes, they need proof of marital status. I uploaded mine with application. If you don't upload it you may get RFE. https://www.uscis.gov/n-400 In instructions it says applicants MUST provide it.

    Yes, looks like a typo on website.

    Are you trying to get immigrant visa to come to the US? Then IR-1 is correct. You'd get CR-1 if this is based on marriage to US citizen if marriage is less than 2 years at time of visa issuance.

    Only time will tell which one it is!

    Who interviewed you yesterday? Employer or USCIS? Define "accepted"?

    Keep us posted!

    These numbers never make any sense....

    No, you are still F-1 as long as you continue going to school or going through OPT and don't violate your status otherwise by dropping out of school or working outside of OPT. Maintaining status is a good idea. You need to be in valid status to adjust through employment. I assume "accepted" means your packet reached USCIS and you got receipt? Or do you mean I-485 is approved already?

    That was me. Did you have conditional GC? If yes, how soon after removing conditions did divorce occur? Was divorce pending while joint I-751 pending? These are important things

    Congrats! Unsolicited advice #1: make sure your husband updates status with SSA. Checkbox on N-400 form doesn't take care of it. Unsolicited advice #2: Let him apply for large passport book. It's same size but has more pages. It doesn't cost any extra to do it. Many countries charge extra for large passport books. It will ensure he won't run out of pages before passport expires. Even if he doesn't plan travelling too much, I can't see how having an option (which is free) is a bad thing.

    Same happened at my ceremony, though it was a different field office 😃
  19. OldUser
    Agreed, no other path available.

    Sure if would be flagged as fraud and scrutinized a lot. It's called "we believe your current marriage, but what about that first marriage you had to US citizen?" Additional point... K-1 visa holders can ONLY adjust status through marriage to person who sponsored them for K-1 visa. Not anybody else.

    If you know your case number, you can always check status here https://egov.uscis.gov/ without logging in to MyUSCIS. It is more reliable and convenient, at least for me.

    Depends whether vaccinations were completed!

    Have them with you, but don't volunteer them. Good luck!

    I brought all. Only gave new when asked for passports. One at a time as I'm a dual citizen. E.g. officer: can I see your passport? me: giving current passport from country A officer: do you have passport for country B? me: here it is (giving current passport B) At the same time few expired passports for country A and country B never left my pocket
