  1. It's best to bring original letter to the biometrics interview she should have received in the mail. Having said that, most likely the printout would also work. At least it's better than missing the appointment or showing up emptyhanded.
  2. Very valid point. AFAIK US government rarely goes after the sponsor to reimburse for any benefits provided to immigrant. Having said that, I would be very hesitant to sign anything like this.
  3. The agency is imcompetent. Exam is required, waiver for vaccines is required unless you're ready to get all missing vaccines.
  4. If you don't have a lease at the old place by the time you move to temporary place, you should file AR-11 and I-865 noting your temporary place address. Then another AR-11 and I-865 when you move again. The online portion only takes 2 minutes to file, so no issue there. There can be a problem if you use either current or temporary address on I-751. USCIS sometimes ignores any address changes and sends correspondence including GC to old address. Mail forwarding generally doesn't work for GC and other docs sent by USCIS. So, the best course of action is to file I-751 using new long term address if your wife is still going to be within 90 days window of filing at that point. So if you're moving in to permanent address before deadline in March, just file I-751 from that place. It's better to file from stable address VS rush and file from old or temporary one. Considering I-751 takes 2+ years on average, a month or two later or earlier won't make any significant difference to processing time, but will ensure GC is safe and will arrive at the right address. VJ has many stories of one's I-751 getting derailed because of moving in the process. People don't receive RFEs, NOIDs, interview letters because of moving.
  5. P.S I hope if you're renting, both names are on current and new lease. Or both names are in the deed if you own houses.
  6. She needs to file AR-11 online within 10 days of moving. You, as a sponsor, need to file I-865 within 30 days of moving by mail (not available online). File I-751 from Washington. There should be no issues with it. Make sure to update addresses on your bank accounts, DLs, other documents promptly after moving. You can also set up USPS forwarding. The biggest implication would be filing taxes next year, as you'll have to file two state taxes.
  7. Absolutely. Make sure to save the following months. If you get RFE you'll be able to provide more.
  8. Yes, most of the trouble when travelling with extension letter comes from the airlines, not US CBP. I was never able to check in online when on expired GC and extension letter. However, others on VJ typed in +4 years from expiration date on their GC and were able to check in online. I find online check useless on international flights. You still have to show actual documents before boarding multiple times.
  9. Coworker must be an LPR of US citizen domiciled in the US, making enough money to be an eligible joint sponsor.
  10. Everything can be revisited during N-400 and especially if you and your spouse lived separately any time prior to I-751 approval. Essentially, USCIS can determine ROC was approved in error. How long after ROC approval did you divorce?
  11. Not even sure what could convince the CBP agent if she was put in secondary. Definitely take everything you have.
  12. It's possible to have issues with daughter's entry in the US. You're a USC who can move to the US at any point. You're purchasing the house in the US. Your daughter who's in your custody is coming with you... There's I-130 for daughter. Yes, a CBP can have doubts.
  13. Did you move since then?
  14. Well, it's pretty much a pattern: - You bring extra evidence -> Nobody looks at it - You don't bring extra evidence -> You get asked for it - You bring spouse -> Nobody talks to them - You don't bring spouse -> Officer turns sour and starts grilling you over marriage OP's case already has few little flags, such as moving a lot. I wouldn't risk it. More evidence and spouse present is the day to go.
  15. I'd still include affidavits. They're listed in USCIS instructions. While not the most important evidence, every piece of evidence adds a little bit of weight and strengthens the case. Just not affidavits from people who see you not that often.
  16. This is unusual. All of my transcripts are around 11KB each, which is much much smaller. How did you get it? Did you download Tax Return Transcript from IRS website? There's typically nothing to request, you just download it from your account instantly.
  17. I'm sorry about your leg, but I don't see a correlation of you fracturing it and expedite request approval. USCIS denies expedites for people with terminal illnesses a lot of times...
