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.

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.

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...

Yes, I-751 is slow. Many file for naturalization while waiting for Removal of Conditions to be decided.

Of course mail, preferebly certified mail to have proof of sending. You should send to reply address that was mentioned in I-130 petition when you received the mail.

What exactly did you send so far? Your response to RFE needs to be substantial. I'd be sending everything I have. It may be 50+ pages of evidence since June last year. Make sure to include all pages of evidence. There's no such thing as too much evidence in your situation, as long as it's relevant and organized well.

That's a bummer! Here's apparently list of banks and whether authorized user charges are itemized: https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/credit-cards/view-authorized-user-spending-credit-cards

Thank you for sharing your experience. Looks like me replacing card earlier to remove wording didn't count towards the limit: SSN cards not counted in determining limits In determining when an individual has met the yearly or lifetime limits, do not count replacement cards issued for: •Original SSN cards; •A legal name change (i.e., first name or surname); •The addition, change, or removal of a restrictive legend (i.e., Valid for Work Only with DHS Authorization or Not Valid for Employment); https://secure.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0110205400 Not sure why would somebody add restrictive language once they have unrestricted card 😃

Do you have joint bank accounts? Why not contribute to joint account amounts to cover monthly bills and mortgage? Where do you receive tax refunds? I'd think joint account would be a great place for those. Otherwise good evidence

But didn't I initiate it by requesting it through N-400? I checked the box

Consular processing takes about 2-3 years. Immigrant would have more flexibility waiting in their country. US citizen doesn't have to spend as much feeding two people and paying higher fees for adjustment compared to overseas case.

Change of status is also routinely denied after waiting a long time. Good that she doesn't want to do it. File for adjustment of status to get GC after marriage. Forms: I-130, I-130A, I-485, I-864, I-693, I-131 (optional, but recommended), I-765 (optional, but very recommended), G-1145 (optional). Lawyer is optional, many do it DIY. But good representation never hurts. Many months of wait, foreign spouse won't be able to work or leave the US for a while.

1,2 - nice to have. Not a requirement. If you want to help adjudicator - why not

I-129F is not your petition, it's US citizen's petition. Not sure how you could combine I-129F and I-751 under same account for example.

Hopefully OP isn't trolling. I'm confused for sure, need further clarification of OP's immigration path before I can reply with suggestions.

I checked the box. Now I kinda regret it though. I have SS card without any restrictions. Looks like I may get a replacement card, which is going to be identical. I only needed to update citizenship status in SSA database. There's a limit on how many times one can replace SS card...

Then you don't have a problem filing when you become eligible. Don't file on first day of early filing window. Wait a few days. However, you had other questions related to filing which may affect time you can file. Please give full picture. The way you frame questions right now provides limited scope. Responders won't know the full context unless they research other threads you opened. Good luck!

You meet physical presence for N-400, I'm asking about continuous residence.

Did you have any single trip in 2024 longer than 6 months? Are you filing taxes as resident for all years you were a LPR including upcoming taxes for 2024?

You cannot unring the bell. It will always remain in history with USCIS. I'd say it's probably the least of your concerns right now with everything going on in your life. Stay safe and seek divorce ASAP.

It won't disqualify, but the more you sponsor, the more difficult it gets.

You can safely ignore consular official advice. They haven't analyzed the case. This is a complicated matter. Please rely on lawyer's analysis.

This is normal. All you have to wait. After 120 days since N-400 interview you can sue USCIS for decision.

Please contact SSA. Probably SAVE verification fails.

Do as much as you can. Add the spouse to utility bills, lease, banks. Send as much evidence as you can. Pictures are great but they don't carry as much weight as other evidence.
