  1. No P.S. I hope she answered truthfully question about whether anybody ever filed an immigrant petition for her in ESTA application.
  2. It's processed based on where you live. Search field office by putting your ZIP code - https://egov.uscis.gov/office-locator/
  3. Absolutely. Any time you entered any country by going through border and immigration, whether land, sea or air. Do not list transit countries if you never went through immigration at the airport.
  4. His category changed now, and wait increased even more. You can reply to USCIS by uploading a letter to case. You're talking maybe 20 years for him to come now?
  5. I thought it was required for I-485 or when consular processing for I-130. It's a very vital document. Is there no way you can request it from country of your birth?
  6. Why is this a problem? Didn't you have to submit copies of your Birth Certificate for your immigration paperwork?
  7. Awesome, thanks for the update. I hesitated updating green card end date based off extension letter. Looks like it's safe to do. Also, from what I learned recently, you can scan passport at GE kiosk if asked for document. I thought I was only allowed to scan GC, but since it was a conditional expired GC it never worked.
  8. Actively reviewed means nothing is happening in most cases, unfortunately.
  9. If it was a bonafide marriage you could have adjusted status as a widower on I-360. What was the basis of denial? You can try applying for a ESTA / visa, but something tells me you may have a chance to be denied. Especially since you came before on visa and tried adjusting. Do you have established life and ties to your country?
  10. That's probably true for people not born in Canada, but originally coming from Middle East, Eastern European, African countries.
  11. Too bad that he never obtained a certificate of naturalization. This comes up a lot. It's not late to apply for the future. For now, bring all the supporting documentation, including US passport and copy of mother's naturalization certificate. Do not volunteer it at the interview. If you can proof his citizenship by using passport, he should use it. If asked about naturalization certificate, present all evidence you have, explain the situation and perhaps show a copy of filed application for certificate. This is not a legal advice.
  12. K-1 is not faster than CR-1 nowadays. Plus extra time and money to adjust.
  13. There is no official tracker app. There's website https://egov.uscis.gov/ Many case tracker apps query this official website to get statuses of cases, because no login is required to see any case status.
  14. Should be OK. However, why not marry and do CR-1 visa? It's cheaper and overall better than K-1
  15. That's of no help. Talk to us here or a lawyer. We know more than those agents. Your spouse may need to leave the US if you are a resident and not becoming a citizen any time soon. If spouse overstays, they may get picked by ICE and removed from the US with possible ban for 3 or 10 years.
  16. OK. Just make sure you don't lose GC for educational purposes. Sometimes withdrawing N-400 is the right thing to do. You may also want to consult with immigration attorney. If you hope USCIS approves your case, make sure it's not approved in error or by misrepresentation. Because this will put your citizenship at risk for the rest of your life.
  17. I don't think this requires disclosing it to USCIS. However, it does need to be reported to IRS. All the legal papers have to be signed according to the laws of her home country.
  18. If: - the parent is in the US - you filed I-130 and I-485 together - or you filed I-130 online and included copy of receipt when filing I-485 then it's strange. However, if you made a mistake filing them separate and not including copy I-130 receipt, USCIS may think your parent is overseas. And of course, no I-485 is not needed if you parent is indeed overseas.
  19. By the time congress / senator office responds, OP would be already travelling
  20. I wouldn't do it even if you could. Activate your visa, get married, file AOS and avoid issues in the future. Keep spreadsheet with all the trips so you can easily file N-400 when the time comes too, especially after becoming LPR.
  21. Which Graduation Ceremony? Do you mean Oath Ceremony? Yes, some people had it on the same day as their naturalization interview. Depends on whether you get approved and how busy the field office is.
  22. He must file taxes if he's a tax resident from IRS perspective (check rules, depends whether he spent 183 days in the US in the last 3 years). Failure to file taxes is punishable by law. IRS tax residence is different to legal permanent residence. He may not be a resident in legal sense. But he may be a tax resident.
