  1. Nobody can tell for sure. CBP has discretion to let or not let visitors into the US. Chances of getting denied entry increase if they learn you're married to US citizen.
  2. Yes the fees are $715 + $300 Are you in valid immigration status right now?
  3. This is an important question @Sixt
  4. Are you in lawful status now? Check fees here: https://www.uscis.gov/g-1055 AFAIK you needed to pay $715 + $300 (self-petitioner)
  5. It's a good idea to get vaccinations and complete DS-3025 exam fully before entering the US on K-1. Getting missing vaccinations and completing I-693 exam is typically a lot more expensive in the US than finishing everything overseas.
  6. Perhaps they're looking for a joint sponsor info?
  7. True, though I do prefer using a neutral third party which doesn't have a conflict of interest and has all necessary templates to do it in the format that's known and accepted by USCIS.
  8. Glad it worked for you. There's other side of the coin. Officers are humans. Not all officers like kids. From a lawyer, I heard about combo interview becoming a stokes interview because kids were brought to the interview. One parent ordered to stay outside with kids, while the other parent interviewed. Then parents swap and answers compared.
  9. Normal. You're misreading MyProgress. It says it's a current step. But it's not checked, meaning it's not yet done, e.g. interview isn't yet scheduled. Again, refer to my prior message about MyProgress:
  10. There's never downside to providing as much relevant evidence as possible. At the same time, you cannot provide what you don't have. What you have seem sufficient for an overseas case.
  11. I-485 isn't OP's petition and cannot be withdrawn by OP. I-130 and I-864 can be withdrawn by OP. This will cause I-485, I-131, I-765 closed due to underlying case withdrawn.
  12. I've seen people on VJ reporting USCIS issuing RFE for not providing translation even if one of languages was English. I guess it depends on luck and risk tolerance. I'd translate even that. Technically, English translation on multi language certificates doesn't have certification statement, so I guess technically this can be a cause to issue RFE asking for translation
  13. Not sure about kids, unless they're removing conditions too?
  14. Online agents tell random information all the time. They need to "help" as many people per hour as they can.
  15. Do you file taxes jointly with mother? I don't see how you would. So if you want her income considered, you'd need her to be a joint sponsor. Do you have good enough income to sponsor? If yes, don't bother.
  16. How are you going to guess which 1 out of 999 is yours??? Also I think online cases are not always sequential. I searched few numbers around my case +1 and -1 and they weren't valid cases. It was different with I-751 when I could easily see neighbour cases.
  17. This is normal. According to some lawyers, male applications tend to take a little longer as require more checks. Also, even though you filed the same day, not every case is the same and they handled by different people. Try sending mail to two different receipients on the same day at same USPS office. There's a great chance letters will arrive to recepients on different days. Same princinple here.
  18. Nobody can stop you from filing. USCIS will happily take the money. However, you're not eligible right now. Your case will be denied because you have to be married to US citizen for 3 years as well as be a permanent resident for 3 years.
  19. I'm a I-751 survivor (using this term as a joke of course). Nothing changes too much when you are a conditional resident with expired GC and valid extension letter. You technically have all the rights as a person with 10 year GC. When you go through I-9 verification with employer, I always advice using US issued driver license or state ID AND unrestricted social security card. If you enter the US on CR-1 and never had SSN, this is the card you'll receive. Some HRs insist on seeing GC. They cannot do it by law. If you give in to their request, they'll be paranoid about extension letter and conditional card, so avoid showing GC at all costs. You typically won't even use GC for anything other than: - Proving your status when getting or renewing Driver's Licence / State ID - Getting mortgage or loan, some lenders insist on seeing GC. With many online banks, you can open accounts without your GC being shared - Travelling in and out of the US. When travelling internationally, your online check in may not work. And even if it works, it doesn't matter as you still have to present GC and extension letter to airline staff upon check in to the flight to the US. Some airline staff may not be familiar with extension letter, so you'd have to ask for their manager. Overall, just make sure you arrive to airport ealier. That's all I can think of.
  20. Even then, I'm not 100% sure one is required to get SS card changed to include wording... Maybe if they lose it they get replacement SS card with restrictions...
  21. Yes, I-751 is slow. Many file for naturalization while waiting for Removal of Conditions to be decided.
