    4-6 weeks after filing you'll receive I-485 receipt. That's the proof.
  2. OldUser
    It varies from office to office. Call them up and ask to clarify.
  3. OldUser
    When in doubt, you can wait?

    Did you use your own USCIS account to add spouse's case? Or is this a new account you set up for your spouse? If the first, is this yours A number? Either way, the spouse can get it corrected during biometrics appointment.

    Waiting for RFE strategy only adds delay in overall case processing. There's no downside to attaching copy of DS-3025 in initial filing to give case reviewer instant reminder somebody completed medical already.

    I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet. It's only been two weeks. You can read this recent thread where somebody was worried their packet got lost and filed for second time: Even in the worst case scenario, if USCIS rejects your packet ans returns it, you'll still have close to 2 months to file again. Please prepare for long waits in this process. I-751 is painfully slow overall. My I-751 took close to 21 months. And there was a gap after biometrics reuse to decision of 15 months when there was no status change, no letter, nothing from USCIS! There was a 6-8 weeks gap at the beginning after sending the packet, and close to 6 months gap to get biometrics reused update.

    You proved once again estimates are worthless.

    If she got all required vaccinations and medical is still valid, she doesn't need a new one.

    I guess some will start applying for N-400. Based on my experience I-751 takes almost two years for most people.

    I think USCIS rushed the notice and then realized they're not ready to conduct the interview.

    4-6 weeks to receive I-797 in the mail. Maybe 8 with fee waiver. I'd only start worrying on May 1 or beyond.

    One payment, one form. Keep in mind, if your bank declines the transaction on credit card, then the packet will be returned to you. It's shocking, but USCIS fees flag as fradulent charges by many banks from time to time.

    1b - sure, why not. You'd be putting this in similar fashion in resume / CV

    4 - if there was overlap, put actual days you lived at each address. It's not a big deal.
  15. OldUser
    2 - where were you born? England, other part of UK or elsewhere? If born in England, select England as this is more specific.

    1c - no indication or solid evidence electronic filing is faster than paper filing or vice versa.

    5 - tax return statements are worth submitting. You can be asked for them in RFE or at the interview. They demonstrate good moral character. Don't look for the ways to minimize evidence, better build a strong case from the beginning.

    @visa38579843 did you move since filing I-751? Were AR-11 and I-865 filed in timely manner?
  19. OldUser
    Just use married name in I-751. List maiden name in Other Names Used field.
  20. OldUser
    You got wrong information from tier 1. By law, LPR must file AR-11 within 10 days of moving. By law, sponsor must file I-865 within 30 days of moving. It doesn't matter if there is an active case or there isn't. It's not funny actually, because if mail gets lost, this means ROC extension letter, RFE, GC or other important mail can get lost too when sent to this address.
  21. OldUser
    Sorry cannot help because I'm the immigrant and I had SSN for a long time, before I even adjusted status.

    6-9 months is pretty typical to get EAD. Some lucky people get it in the 2-3 months, but that's more of an exception than a rule
  23. OldUser
    Yes, you can return to the US at any point with valid GC and reentry permit. When it comes to naturalization in the US, if your husband spends 6 months or more outside of the US, then he'll have to wait full 3 or 5 years again to naturalize. I'd monitor closely the changes in German laws. If it's not urgent and you can wait for 2-3 years, maybe he should naturalize first once German laws get passed. The kid will become the citizen by operation of the law. Then you're all free to go to Germany and live there however much you want. And won't have to deal with USCIS ever again.

    Why not file online using Turbotax? You'd get tax return transcript much quicker and any refund. I filed on Feb 18, got refund on Mar 6, tax return transcript was available on IRS website for download before March 10 (don't remember exactly)
  25. OldUser
    Typically yes. But sometimes USCIS processes the cases from the other other end to improve processing times on paper.
