    1. Lease agreement(s) or mortgage statements showing both names 2. Joint bank account statements (checking, savings) 3. Jointly filed tax return transcripts 4. Joint insurance policy / policies - car, health, life etc. 5. Flight and hotel reservations showing both names 6. Copies of state IDs or driver licenses with matching address for both spouses Make sure to provide all pages of those documents. Make sure your evidence covers period from date you married until now.

    It may take several weeks or even months to get another appointment. Sacrificing interview for vacation is not something I would have done personally. Maybe others would know, but I didn't see much promising info in this thread: Looping in @appleblossom

    Depending on officer: 1) Living in separate states intially can be a problem 2) Your trip home for 2 months alone can be a problem 3) Another trip under 6 months if without husband can be a problem. Based on this pattern I would not apply until 3 year anniversary of you coming back from longer trip that lasted under 6 months.

    What's more important evidence for 3 year rule N-400 is lease agreement or mortgage statements, joint bank account statements, jointly filed tax return transcripts, utility bills showing both spouses live at the same address, insurance showing both names, flight reservations showing both names etc etc

    Photos is the least important evidence. Yes, you can include some, maybe 20. Create a Word document. Place 3 photos per page. Capture every photo with date, location, occasion and name of people in the photo. Example: "01/01/2023. Times Square, New York. New Year Celebration. Left to right: John Smith (LPR applicant), Veronica Smith (US citizen spouse), Robert Brown (friend), Samantha Brown (friend)"

    Why in September? Did OP's husband break continuous residence? Oh I see...

    Sorry I don't care about MyProgress bar. Whether it's there or not, it doesn't provide any valuable or accurate information to me. I've seen others reporting it's missing. Just another outage...

    You must have checked the box in N-400 to update records with SSA and send replacement SS card.
  9. OldUser
    Not an issue. But also, it's the foreign spouse who files N-400. I'm a bit confused. Are you talking about yourself in 3rd person? Or is this US citizen? If so, you don't file N-400.

    Well, CA DMV following CA laws... That's how it's supposed to be. Other states following their laws. 50 states with their own jurisdictions. Some with more relaxed rules, others with stricter rules. What I'm not 100% sure is whether any state DMV or BMV can accept copy of I-797 to renew / issue DL or ID. I guess only if staff is not trained / doesn't care.
  11. OldUser
    Exactly. When it's not there it means there is an outage of MyProgress. It being there or not isn't related to case progress at all.

    What's wrong with that?

    About addresses: you don't have to live at address for 5 years to list it. If you lived at address A for 1 year, address B for 2 years and address C for 2 years, you list them all because it was in the last 5 years. Same about current address. List your current address, it doesn't matter you didn't live there long. Part 4. Correct, unless anybody applied for you to come on immigrant visa, the answer is No. K-1 is non-immigrant.

    Form I-551 is your expired GC. No all you need for travel is what you mentioned. Make sure they're all original documents including extension letter.

    I bet some DMVs and employers would not take self printed copies. It's just they're not as detail oriented as airlines or CBP and you can get lucky.
  16. OldUser
    You can at your own risk. Considering extension letter is printed on protected watermarked paper, it might be obvious when you show a self-printed copy. Airlines accept originals. I'm not aware of them being required to accept copies. I remember somebody reported success on VJ. But considering some people with expired GC and original extension letter having problem occasionally, I can see how an airline can deny boarding
  17. OldUser
    Ouch! It depends on airline and their personnel. I'd try getting a replacement. Here's how to request notice if you never received it: https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDNForm.do?sroPageType=ndn&entryPoint=init Not sure if you can use it to replace notice that was damaged.

    Means you didn't keep it alive. That's sad. Good luck!
  19. OldUser
    If finances is indeed not an issue, meet in a third country. Good luck and stay safe!
  20. OldUser
    Both just in case. There are no rules forbidding that. Petition from mother Petition from father Petition from you, sibling Realistically, it'a probably going to be your petition and it will take few decades.

    She cannot leave the US without advance parole. If she leaves without it, she abandons her I-485 and will have to start from scratch (file for visa, wait etc). Advance parole takes months to get. Ideally, she should only leave on advance parole in case of emergency for few weeks. Another option is to pause her studies, wait until GC comes, file for reentry permit (allows to be out of the US for up to 2 years). Then finish studies overseas and come back to the US. The problem in this case will be removal of conditions and naturalization under 3 year rule. It's hard to work with evidence from overseas and proving you lived in bonafide marriage.

    That's right Not needed

    This is normal. For cases filed by mail it takes 4-8 weeks to receive receipt by mail.
  24. OldUser
    This is a bit concerning. You should have receipt by now.
  25. OldUser
    That's great news for new filers, but not necessarily for OP. USCIS is know to start processing new cases faster and leaving older cases for later. It would be nice to understand where this invisible like is drawn. Typically, you can find out by looking at reports on VJ or checking external status website (cannot post link) that shows blocks of cases being processed.
