  1. Why not Writ Of Mandamus after 120 days? It's more effective. There are lawyers specializing in it.
  2. Nobody has a crystal ball and nobody can tell how it will go exactly... The biggest red flag is boyfriend in the US. The second flag is her being young female of marrying age. Good luck!
  3. GMC is technically a 5 year look back. Unless you were accused of something big. Did you go to interview with a lawyer?
  4. You can through representative, but more often than not they would tell you everything you already know. 6-12 months for N-400 is not unusual.
  5. My understanding is, it's best to demonstrate to court that you have a path to LPR status based on your approved VAWA and ask to terminate removal proceedings so that USCIS could adjudicate I-485. You may need a lawyer to pull this off. This is not a legal advice and I'm not a lawyer. Good luck!
  6. While in removal proceedings, I-485 is in court's jurisdiction
  7. I applied for N-400 under 5 year rule, there was no special section for uploading taxes, other than Additional Evidence. No, absence of 2024 taxes is OK if filing before April 15
  8. Your husband doesn't want to get a bigger tax break, and potentially bigger return? Typically MFJ results in more money saved VS MFS. I always filed MFJ using Turbotax, even when I was going through AOS. What issue is he facing? Only one person would be filing taxes when filing as MFJ anyways. He'd just include your name and SSN plus any applicable income.
  9. Looks like you're creating duplicate posts?
  10. This is normal. It won't ask. I would upload tax documents for sure.l in Additional Evidence section. I'm not 100% sure about VAWA docs. Seems like they're important for approval too. But before you apply, do you need citizenship urgently? You can apply under general provision when you hold GC for 5 years. In theory, that application would require less effort than 3 year VAWA. Either way, your entire immigration will be reviewed at N-400 stage and you may need to prove everything at the interview.
  11. Yes, of course. Bring original docs to the interview, including birth certificates, passports, citizenship certificates, marriage and divorce certificates, court records etc. You may be never asked to show some of those. But you need them at the interview.
  12. Have you tried playing lottery or slots in Vegas given your luck? 😃
  13. Give it few days, sometimes updates are not immediate. But not many December 2024 filers got already approved or will be approved any time soon.
  14. Normal. Sometimes these are "ghost updates" with no real changes. I received those before. My understanding, email may be sent everytime somebody opens and closes a case, even if no action was taken.
  15. Also, eTA may or may not be needed starting April 2nd
  16. This is nothing to worry about. I received several of these for various types of cases. I call them "ghost updates". I suspect every time somebody opens and closes the case for review, system generates an email saying "Action was taken on your case". Even if no changes were made.
  17. It shouldn't, but it could Bad idea. FedEx loses things all the time
  18. Is your visa category current? If it was sponsorship by sibling for example, we're talking about decadea of waiting.
  19. I would be careful believing any promises by officer.
  20. Your entire immigration history is verified again during N-400. Marriage may be required to be proved again at this stage. If you spoke to a lawyer before applying they could have suggested not to apply or how to prove your marriage on spot at the interview. I'd start consulting a lawyer already, before you're given RFE deadline or things develop further in negative direction. Sometimes counteractions take time, which you may not have in the future. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
  21. Anything more official than that? You'll probably have to do some work contacting court and getting something on paper.
  22. Sorry to hear it. Yes, your fears are not ungrounded. Are you planning to consult an immigration lawyer? You're in a tricky situation.
