    Estimates are shown in MyProgress. Sometimes it's visible, some times it's not. What I can tell you for sure - it's never accurate. My estimate showed "3 weeks until decision" on the day I became a US citizen! Here's official processing times: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ You can search based on your field office location. Again, when I filed N-400 my office showed 7 months, but my case got approved in 3.5 months. But for some filers, it will take longer than estimate. In general, I recommend to be morally prepared for 9-12 months of processing.

    Affidavit of support is agreement between you and US government. It's not about you giving cash to ex spouse. It's about paying US government back if immigrant spouse / ex spouse uses public funds. Just pay child support and any alimony if applicable. Consult with a lawyer if you have further doubts.

    Congrats on approval! K-3 adds to USCIS workload, slowing other applications and making others wait a little longer for their petitions to be approved.

    Yep, that is it. You'll become a citizen after taking oath. You'll receive certificate of naturalization on April 18 and will surrender your GC. Congratulations!

    She cannot legally become a citizen until I-751 is approved. Most likely, I-751 will be approved together with N-400 during combo interview.
  6. OldUser
    That is true. USC must always attend, whether it's I-485, I-751 or N-400 under 3 year rule.

    With all respect, I'm not sure how somebody can have 10 emergencies while waiting for GC. Seems like ordinary travel for me.

    This question is not applicable to families with kids living together. This is mostly for people who are divorced and support kids from prior marriages. You can asnwer either "yes" or "no" or skip question altogether and click "next". You can ignore any warnings. This is a question asked a lot on VJ.

    Your husband will remain a British citizen after oath. There's nothing to be done. If he had titles, orders of nobility etc that's when he has to lose them in order to become a US citizen. After becoming a US / UK dual citizen, he'll need to leave and enter the US on US passport only. He'll be required to leave and enter the UK on UK passport only. Any third countries - he can pick whether to use UK or US passport.

    Yes in most cases spouse is required and present at the interview. But officer has authority to waive interview or switch things up a bit.

    USCIS follows a strict process with strict requirements. I cannot tell you what to do, just giving heads up about potential problem for your I-485.

    It's not possible to get GC unless you make USCIS happy and give them what they expect from you. Don't give up before you try. If you have documented efforts of trying to get docs without success - that is what USCIS may accept. By they won't just believe you because you say it's impossible. The sooner you start getting the docs, the better. It's not fun getting RFE or denial from USCIS and losing all filing fees. Birth certificate is crucial piece of evidence proving you are who you say you are. Especially when high risk country involved.

    Docs that will be accepted listed here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Syria.html

    I-751 is a blackhole... Mine took about 2 years. Can't imagine what it would feel like waiting 4 years!
  16. OldUser
    Congratulations!!!

    Most likely USCIS will ask for a joint sponsor. I'd be preparing for it.

    If I-129F is approved, relationship is verified. I-485 is for determening admissabilty, so USC is not needed for this part.

    Tax return transcripts to be exact. Good point.
  20. OldUser
    Evidence. You should add a lot more to this list. Joint bank account statements, joint lease agreement or mortgage statements, utility bills showing both names, health or car insurance showing both names. Evidence of you listing your spouse on retirement plans. Flight / hotel reservations together. Photos of both of you with friends and family. Joint memberships like Costco or gym. Affidavits of friends or people who know you. And many more things!

    Say Infopass to the robot. Multiple times
  22. OldUser
    Yes, as you can see people posted two weeks ago their case got approved.
  23. OldUser
    That's how I filed for my AOS: everything together... I-130, I-130A, I-485, I-131, I-765, I-693....

    I highly recommend paying by personal check. If you search VJ you'll see some people had issues with credit card. Bank blocks transaction as potential fraud. The form is G-1450
  25. OldUser
    There needs to be underlying case on file (I-485) for I-131 and I-765 to be filed. Unless you have I-485 receipt you don't know whether it was accepted or rejected.
