    - Photos are not that important - Staples are discouraged, but not banned. Just adds extra work for person scanning - It hasn't been long enough to declare package lost. 4-6 weeks is totally fine for your case to get created. The packet might be sitting somewhere in their warehouse now waiting to be processed - Calling is typically useless. Especially if case hasn't been created yet. My question is... What all the evidence did you include in the packet?

    Don't bother resending / reuploading unless directed to. It's a known issue (missing pages etc).

    One can argue you're applying based on marriage to US citizen and the spouse should be allowed in because of that. In rare cases they get asked a few questions, even informally.

    I've heard reports of people saying "I have pending I-751" and that opened the doors for US citizen spouse. For I-751 your spouse may get invited in the room with you to get few questions about marriage answered. For N-400, they're either going to be with you (I heard of such instances) or would wait in the same room where you'd wait for your I-751/N-400.

    Good luck and please keep us updated!

    If you have pending I-751 - it's a must. If you have 10 year GC but applying under 3 year rule - highly recommended. If you're applying under 5 year rule and have 10 year GC - not needed.

    I think that's the question to airline more than anybody else.

    I'm not and expert, but I read the page https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/humanitarian-reinstatement It says: "You may only request humanitarian reinstatement if you are the principal beneficiary of an approved Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, and your petitioner relative has died. We cannot grant humanitarian reinstatement if the petitioner died while the petition was pending." Based on your description, your father died in 2011 and at that time the petition was pending. I don't think you're eligible for this.

    At the same time, in the future she'd have to leave them to live in the US? It's a bit weak point to make... The only somewhat strong tie I see right now is the business. But again, if this business makes her $10000 a year, one would argue, she'd be better in the US working minimum wage jobs. It's another story if she makes $50k+ USD. The numbers are arbitrary but I hope this gives an idea? She has to be honest and be ready for anything, including being denied entry as a visitor.

    @Caitlin Kennedy thank you for the kind words! You can find the office where your N-400 interview will be held using Field Office Locator - https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-a-uscis-office/field-offices Put the zip code of your home address in search at the bottom of the page and it will show the address for office. In the letter, refer to your I-751 case by it's number on official correspondence. If starts with LIN, then it's LIN...

    You also need to include the most important form I-130. No, you cannot travel while applications make their way. That would mean abandoning the adjustment of status.

    UK was included in DV-2025: https://uk.usembassy.gov/diversity-visa-lottery/

    Make sure she carries marriage certificate explaining how the name got changed if the names don't match.

    She should update her Cambodian passport to show married name. Then travel in and out of the US on US passport but show Cambodian passport to border control in Cambodia.

    I wish you came across multiple posts I left in various threads about photos. Yes, caption photos with date, occasion, place and who's on photos. Useful photos are the ones with family and friends and not just two of you. Useful photos span months and years and not just set of photos from a particular vacation etc. Photos are great, but they're not the strongest evidence. What other evidence of sharing life and comingling finances did you send?

    I'd encourage her to be more proactive about her N-400. She's about to become a citizen with all rights and responsibilities. You doing paperwork and putting yourself as preparer may come across as her not being proficient in English. She's ultimately responsible for accuracy of all information on the form. Unless she has a health reason or of a senior age, she must be able to answer everything at the interview and comment on her answers on the form. I would help filling the forms together, going through each question, and not put myself as a preparer on a form. It could hurt IMHO. The very first question she may get is why didn't she fill everything herself. That's only my opinion and not a legal advice.

    Unless it's an urgent trip that cannot be rescheduled, I wouldn't leave until I-751 is back on track. The risk of getting a denial for entire case is there.

    Amazing, congratulations on approval! Enjoy the 10 year GC and peace of mind that comes with it ☺️

    What about the child's parents? Any of them still alive?
  20. OldUser
    How about spouse? I heard you can play from spouse's country of birth. E.g. if OP is married to a person born in the UK they may qualify?

    Expunging doesn't work for immigration. You'd still have to disclose it.
  22. OldUser
    Reusing is never guaranteed. One should always assume appointment will be needed. Good luck!
  23. OldUser
    Congratulations! How do you feel now?

    That extension letter is useless if it has invalid name or doesn't match name on GC. I think you should keep getting I-551 stamps in passport while I-751 is pending. Hopefully, 10 year GC will come with the right name and country. What name did you put in your I-751? I hope married name? You're lucky you were able to board the plane to the US. Do not travel internationally without valid I-551 stamp in valid passport. You should not attempt any more I-90 as your case is messy already. Also they won't issue an expired 2 year GC as replacement. Just make sure I-751 has valid information.

    Yes this also happens, unfortunately. It's painful for some those who move while I-751 is pending, as they get denied without knowledge. USPS Informed delivery is also a must
