    I think it's a matter of moral conviction. I wouldn't want to simulate emergency. Rather have it for somebody who geniunely needs it... The more people do it, the less effective it would become in the future. Expedites with USCIS used to be effective until every other person started abusing them. And now they won't work. The government most likely will raise the bar even higher for people seeking emergency passport and will request likes of death certicates or letters from doctors to prove emergency...

    One must have a good reason and proof why urgent passport is needed (trip in under 14 days). I personally applied at USPS with expedited fees. The passport came very quick. Could I book a refundable ticket and get passport same or next day at passport agency? Sure. But I thought I'm not going to take a spot for somebody who may have a life and death situation and needs passport very urgently.

    No, I-130 is not form for adjustment. Please review the guide. I-485 is the form for adjustment, and there's many forms to be filed together.

    That's good as you need to be married for 3+ years and be LPR for 3+ years to be naturalized.

    Congrats!

    I'm still stunned by amount of people saying they're single when they're married when filing IRS tax returns. Just don't get it. The question is very direct and straightforward... Single or married. And if married, filing separately or jointly. It blows my mind how people shoot themselves in the leg providing false information to government agency for no benefit!

    Everybody's case is different. Sorry to hear about slowness in your case. Anything under 12 months for AOS is a fair game. Anything above that - you can potentially sue USCIS.

    Have rental agreement written so you can demonstrate it. Living with parents may not be ideal for relationship itself, but if it's short term, I guess it could work. Good luck!

    @ashleberry register to vote at your US address.

    Did you apply based on marriage (3 year rule) or general provision (5 year rule)? If under 3 year rule, it's highly advisable to have your spouse with you. If under general provision, then you don't need to have your spouse with you.

    @Agiewes is I-129F approved and you're waiting for K-1 visa appointment? Or you're talking about I-129F filed in April? If so, there are people from November 2024 waiting: Consider meeting in a third country or see if US citizen can visit the beneficiary. Immigration is slow. For the next 5-7 years be ready to be waiting for things with USCIS.

    I-765 and pay the fees. I-765 can be filed together with I-485 or after I-485 is on file.

    Normal, it hasn't even been a year. Immigration is slow.

    Was the biometrics st USCIS field office? I thought you go to application support center (ASC) https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-a-uscis-office/application-support-centers At least this is how it was for my AOS. Those are operated by contractor, not USCIS directly
  18. OldUser
    Yep, in reality we probably experience it all the time without knowing

    Agreed with all points above. Boarding flight with I-551 stamp may be a problem depending on incompetence of airline staff. At that point OP should be ready to articulate and support the claims with references to airline carrier guide.

    What a cool story! The card does look official 😃
  21. OldUser
    Does it apply to US citizens too? Just curious, never thought of that. The rule makes sense, but how can US citizen be denied entry the States?
  22. OldUser
    Ok, filled and hopefully filed in June 2023. The extension letter is for 48 months nowadays. Why did you have to get ADIT stamp? What was resident since date?
  23. OldUser
    Congratulations! I'm sure it must have felt like eternity. You're pretty lucky though, it's not unusual for I-130 to take 17 months or so. 14.5 is pretty good.
  24. OldUser
    Can you afford to wait months for decision? Even with expedite it takes months. And of course, nothing can happen until there is B1/B2 petition on file.

    Sure, divorce case is different to if you were still married and travelling together. Even in good times, during ROC, CBP asked me how do I usually travel - solo or with my spouse. Mind you, my spouse entered the US a minute earlier on that trip 😃 You're still LPR and should be able to enter the US on valid stamp. Unless you have other issues in your immigration history, you should be able to travel. You may be briefly placed in secondary upon reentry. It's up to you, lawyer is being overly cautions, it's their job.
