  1. USCIS can certainly contact employers. Also, they can ask this question at the interview while you're under oath. If they have a slightest doubt about I-864, they'll request joint sponsor.
  2. Situation is different on CBP enforcement now compared to January
  3. Age alone isn't sufficient. For example: "Age 55 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resident in the United States for 15 years (commonly referred to as the “55/15” exception)" Given they had GCs for only 6 years, they don't qualify for this.
  4. These are not hard rules. If CBP suspects she abandoned her residency in the US or never established it, I-407 can be proposed to be signed to even if she was out for less than a year. Also, for naturalization, she reset her clock pretty much and has to wait 3 or 5 years once she returns to apply for N-400
  5. Joint sponsor would only count his spouse, children or any dependants plus the immigrant he's sponsoring. Household size is to do with taxes. If all of you aren't filing taxes together, you won't be in the same household.
  6. No, you're not the only one. Here somebody asked about related thing. I don't know why would anybody worry about it or miss it. Just like MyProgress, it's half of the time unavailable and inaccurate thing on USCIS website. On the day of my oath MyProgress was estimating 3 weeks until decision. MyProgress and Case History are related equally bad services. You can check current status here without logging in: https://egov.uscis.gov/ This one is way more reliable
  7. Uploading copy of DS-3025 is recommended, but not required
  8. DS-3025 is sufficient if all vaccinations were completed and vaccination part is checked as completed.
  9. This is fraud... VJ won't support discussing such things. USCIS will look into her first marriage and won't approve second / third / fourth I-130 if they suspect fraud.
  10. This case won't get approved. If beneficiary is called into the interview they'll have to explain why their USC spouse isn't with them.
  11. Read this thread
  12. To be fair, some are naturally born US citizens raised in Spanish speaking families for example...
  13. On latest N-400 form there's a checkbox allowing USCIS to automatically notify SSA about citizenship status change. The discussion is about that service
  14. 4. AFAIK most retirement accounts are not joint. Adding spouse as beneficiary helps for sure. And not just for immigration, in general it's good. What if you pass away etc. At least spouse will have easy access to funds. 7 - It's not something I'd do for immigration, but only if need it generally.
  15. 6 - no concern. What about medical insurance? This one is important. Especally good if both spouses covered.
  16. 9 - would you conceive just for I-751? I wouldn't 5 - Absolutely not
  17. 8 - not required, but won't hurt. I submitted for my I-751 10 - No impact
  18. 3. As much evidence of financial comingling as possible. This is the most important evidence. I-751 instructions ask for evidence from start of marriage to date of filing
  19. That's OK. Most of the time it's a system glitch and doesn't mean much. Keep an eye on it, sometimes it gets followed by RFE or approval. But I-130s cases get processed within 17 months, so 6 months is too early typically...
  20. I'd say yes. Somebody organized the protest and asked people to join. Lawyer's input is highly recommended. I wouldn't do this case myself.
  21. I'd recommend involving a lawyer at this point. I also wouldn't go to interview without a lawyer, this doesn't seem like a DIY case. You're looking at potential material misrepresentation and inadmissibility based on that. That's great, but USCIS still needs to know whether she was ever arrested, detained, charged etc. Even expunged records need to be disclosed to USCIS. I think she can write an affidavit explaining everything, if she doesn't and can't produce any papers. One more thing to note. Just because everything was OK for DS-160 and K-1 doesn't mean USCIS won't make it issue later during I-485, I-751 and N-400. There are known cases when only at N-400 USCIS would find issue and claim that Green Card was given in error. Each stage of immigration is chance for USCIS to review entire immigration history. So being open and upfront with USCIS is the key to securing trouble free future. It may mean immediate problems and waivers involved at this time around though.
