    Of course I naturalized earlier this year, so trying to help others. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Congratulations! Make sure he applies for large passport book (free upgrade) and updates status with SSA after naturalizing.

    I don't think many would be eligible to file under 5 year rule if they filed I-751 in Jan 2025. There is a small percentage of those who had to refile I-751 (divorce waiver, death of spouse, failed joined petition). Maybe those would be.

    The only thing that really matters is when you're actually employed. Promises do not carry as much weight IMHO.
  5. OldUser
    Not sure about that, but when they are actually employed, they can definitely be a joint sponsor.

    There's tons of things like that in immigration, unfortunately. As an example, K-3 visas still can be filed, but in practice, do not get issued (maybe 2 a year?) Or, many people entered the US on parole, and were considered legal few years back, but now perceived illegal... Or, some people out of status getting put in removal in San Diego though they filed I-130 and I-485, are in authorized stay period and technically, overstay should be forgiven... Or MyProgress says 3 months until decision for somebody and it takes 12 months...

    You can find plenty examples on Visa Journey, Reddit and other websites where people thought they had qualifying assets, but USCIS did no accept them. Some folks on VJ say it's because they were not documented properly. You can try, I am a strong believer qualifying joint sponsor with income is a much easier path. Here are some examples of failed attempts to use assets: I can continue posting those examples I've seen over the years.

    Unfortunately, it is the only option if he cannot show his clearly qualifying income to sponsor you.

    Whoop whoop!

    Fantastic, congratulations! Getting a passport card was a smart move. Did you apply for large passport book (free upgrade)? Also remember to update status with SSA once you get passport.

    Congrats!

    Interesting. I guess this explains things a bit https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alerts/uscis-updates-policy-to-automatically-extend-green-cards-for-naturalization-applicants

    Tons of money. It also depends whether you file some forms electronically or everything on paper, some forms are optional as I stated above. Fee calculator can be found here https://www.uscis.gov/feecalculator

    She should not be signing I-751. You need to file I-751 with divorce waiver.

    Congratulations! Surprised it's only for 6 months. It used to be 12 mo as a standard

    This is normal and nothing to worry about. You normally get it cancelled by consulate when you apply for a different visa. Many people report the same nowadays happening to them when adjusting status, removing conditions or naturalizing. This is done so you don't get admitted to the US as new resident or somebody uses your visa pretending to be you.

    Duration of the programme is not a factor for 2 year rule. Only profession and country of citizenship.

    Estimates can be safely ignored! I've never seen it showing anything accurate. For my N-400, it showed 3 weeks until decision on day of my oath. Unless you want stress and confusion, I'd ignore it.

    Thank you for updates on this thread. Some officers suspect fraud when LPR travels without US citizen spouse, hense can question about marriage, put briefly in secondary etc. If your wife can reduce overseas travel, especially solo, I'd recommend that. Nothing prevents her from taking multiple trips a year, but the more she travels in one year, especially solo, the higher risk of coming across annoying CBP officer

    Not all of these forms can be filed online. For example, I-485 cannot be filed online. So many lawyers would file all forms together on paper. Regular people do a mix, but in my opinion it complicates things a bit.
  22. OldUser
    Which consulate? Have you tried checking around midnight in the timezone of consulate?
  23. OldUser
    You are married to US citizen. You did it within 90 days of entering as required. Even if you have a I-485 denial / going missing, you can file another one. Overstay is forgiven for spouse of US citizen. Even if you end up in deportation somehow, there is still path to stay in the US. All I am trying to say, what you are currently experiencing, is not outside the norm. AOS process can be long (even 12-18 months) with periods of total silence when there are no updates. This is how it works.

    This is very normal. It takes weeks before somebody actually opens your packet. Ans even then, not always you receive text or email. It is a hit or miss.
  25. OldUser
    4-6 weeks
