  1. 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.
  2. Duration of the programme is not a factor for 2 year rule. Only profession and country of citizenship.
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. Which consulate? Have you tried checking around midnight in the timezone of consulate?
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Not necessarily. Sometimes adjustment of status can take 12-18 months. If she is OK with not being able to travel outside of the US or work in this timeframe, then AOS is viable. Also, it is more expensive compare to consular processing, so make sure you are comfortable with AOS fees. And lastly, she really wants to live here, right? And she knows all tax, medical costs, travel restrictions and other implications of doing it?
  10. Agreed, looks like @Family One is looking to become a citizen in early 2026!
  11. Oh nice! I have friends who have OCI, the "card" looks pretty cool, almost like a passport itself Good luck!
  12. Fantastic, thank you for sharing your experience! Congrats on getting passport card, it's a great ID. Did you get large passpory book? Visa for India - getting 10 year paper, 5 year e-visa or something else?
  13. Sure they need their birth certificates to prove they are who they say they are.
  14. If you want for her to stay, make sure divorce goes as smooth as it can from your side. Write a notarized statement describing the marriage was real, you don't object her removing conditions, and quick timeline of your relationship. When did you jointly file I-751? These petitions can take few years to be adjudicated, so you may have time.
  15. 2x: I-130 I-130A I-485 I-864 I-693 G-1650 OPTIONAL I-765, I-131, G-1145
  16. I disagree, in my understanding GE is more about security and less about customs. GE is only available to citizens of select countries who exchange info about their citizens with US authorities. You may not be eligible for participation in the Global Entry program if you: * Provide false or incomplete information on the application; * Have been convicted of any criminal offense or have pending criminal charges or outstanding warrants (to include driving under the influence); * Have been found in violation of any customs, immigration or agriculture regulations or laws in any country; * Are the subject of an ongoing investigation by any federal, state or local law enforcement agency; Have been denied for the purchase of a firearm; * Are inadmissible to the United States under immigration regulation, including applicants with approved waivers of inadmissibility or parole documentation; or * Cannot satisfy CBP of your low-risk status. As you can see, at least 3 or 4 items in the list are about security and only 1 item is about breaking customs / agriculture regulations. The background checks is the big part of getting approval. Source: https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/global-entry/eligibility I'm a strong believer, travel to countries like Syria, Iran, North Korea, Cuba and others significantly reduce chances of getting or keeping GE membership.
  17. Solution is to ignore the reminder if you know she has 10 year GC.
  18. Good idea. If this person been to any of the suspicious countries in the last 10 years though, applying would be a waste of time I think...
  19. Strange... Typically biometrics are required for petitioners who have criminal past related to Adam Walsh Act. Other petitioners typically are not required to do biometrics
  20. That is certainly possible. My I-751 took 20.5 months and it was considered fast.
  21. Hi, sadly it is normal. Immigration process is slow, complex and confusing. E-request for typographical error is not applicable in your case based on my understanding. You submit e-request about typographical error in this case: 1) You received EAD with wrong information 2) Wrong information is caused by USCIS mistake Source: https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/employment-authorization-document In your case, you don't have EAD and mistake was on you. So I would just file a new case with new fee with correct information and withdraw wrongly filed I-765 for renewal. However, considering how long you are into adjustment process, you may never see your EAD and get GC before that. It is not USCIS responsibility to give you legal advice or tell you what and how to do. Tier 1 officers on chat or phone simply need to give you some reply to get you off line and go to next person. The more people they reply, and less time they spend, the better it looks for their performance. So they will tell you anything.
  22. Do not rely on ChatGPT for legal advice. This is a serious situation. It is hard to tell whether he is eligible to sponsor you, without court records. A lot depends on nature of crime.
