  1. Sadly, it's not. It's largely inaccurate. Yes it's perfectly normal. Good luck!
  2. Put their current official names on the forms. Also put their names from birth certificates and all spelling variations in "Other names used".
  3. How does CR-1 add 3 months? Did you factor in AOS time after entering on K-1? It's more like K-1 adds 6-12 extra months until green card in hand.
  4. I don't think we can offer any different advice other than one that was already given - just be patient. This is pretty normal. It's out of your control.
  5. I'd start from scratch if you haven't paid the fees. Did you have a long delay going from page to page? You probably logged out due to inactivity.
  6. The estimates are completely wrong. People get approved with estimated time to decision showing 6-7 months.
  7. Capital One and many more banks have maintenace fee free checking and savings. Good luck!
  8. You seem to have good evidence. Make sure to attach copy of I-751. You can write a letter stating you have pending I-751, and would like to request a combo interview. There's several factors out of your control whether you'd have combo or not. Some is discretion of officer, others outside of their control too.
  9. This is typical USCIS. I've seen this with my I-751. At least, we're not asylum seekers from 2015 who got forgotten for years, some until now while newer applications got approved. Your turn will eventually come!
  10. I'd enter it as 01/01/23-01/02/23. I don't think this is material and you can add note in Additional section saying you could not enter 01/01/23 - 01/01/23
  11. Second interview is typically when fraud is suspected. There's a great chance you will be separated and asked about each other. I'd take a lawyer with you. Do you comingle finances?
  12. Regarding taxes, what you really need is freely downloadable Tax Return Transcripts from IRS website. Otherwise your case looks good.
  13. I highly recommend paying with personal check. Here's just short list of issues related to paying USCIS fees with credit card:
  14. Have you tried checking around midnight and other ackward times? There's a time slot different for each embassy when new appointment slots are released.
  15. Could be hours, could be months. There's too many variables. Add around 12-14 months to filing date for estimate.
  16. Since you're submitting both concurrently, I'd send to whatever location you need to send it living in Florida. What's the plan as to living together? USCIS may see you living apart as a red flag and scrutinize case more.
  17. Seems like somebody has to clarify things to USCIS in writing. Your case is complicated for a number of reasons: 1) Wife were in removal proceedings 2) I-485 was filed twice (?) - with USCIS and court. I can see why this can be confusing 3) You moved in the process Worst case you can file a WoM for decision, but otherwise 1 year wait for I-485 is totally expected, especially for such complicated case.
  18. Filing online and paying $710 is a guarantee your application won't be rejected for incorrect fees. Otherwise, if you want to pay reduced fees, make sure to write a cover letter in big letters explaining why you qualify for fee reduction. Quote the exact clauses in immigration law. Stick it at the front of your packet.
  19. In your situation, I've seen all scenarios on VJ: 1) You get GC before N-400 gets approved 2) You never get GC, just naturalize 3) You get GC after naturalization. Everything is possible, but most likely it's gonna be #2
  20. People from March still waiting for interviews:
  21. 4-6 weeks to get the actual card. If you have USPS Informed Delivery, you can to watch for mail titled "USCIS- Lees Summit Production Facility"
  22. What's the existing account? The one used by US citizen to file I-130 / I-129F? If yes, USCIS is right. I-485 and I-290B belong to immigrant and cannot be added to US citizen account. Same will be the case for I-751 if you have to file in the future and N-400.
  23. Yes This is the official exact questions you're going to be asked. They're 100% accurate and come from the USCIS. I'll be using those to study for the test.
