  1. People are getting copies of digital letters in their USCIS accounts. I doubt many filers from Jan 2024 received physical extension letters yet!
  2. You're overthinking this. I-94 will match name on passport, that's correct. If AOS forms have married name, that's also OK, as you would have included marriage certificate proving how the maiden and married names are related. They can mismatch, that's OK. In ideal world, I always advice to only change the name during N-400 to avoid mismatch on different IDs and simplify immigration. But in real world people want to use their married names as soon as they get married and that's their right.
  3. There's always a risk of denial when applying for any visa, whether it's a work visa, tourist visa or immigration visa.
  4. Even if they ran the business capable of sponsoring for H-1B I'd discourage to go this route. It borderlines H-1B visa abuse due to OP's relationship with their child.
  5. I think your best bet is to go back to France, and see whether your relationship develops, leading to marriage and sponsorship for CR-1 visa or K-1 fiance visa. Your BF parents cannot sponsor you. You can only stay if your BF marries you and files AOS forms. Otherwise you need to go back and find a different avenue to come back to the US on permanent basis.
  6. Yes they can, I knew a couple of people at work who went through E2 -> GC. They're all sponsored by employer.
  7. NOA on 4-5 days? Really? The USPS part alone can take 4-5 days to deliver letter from USCIS to your address. When I submitted mine it took like 6 weeks to receive NOA by mail. Also, were you trying to send a message in January 2024 thread?
  8. Not much, you won't have a proof of status for some time until you get extension letter. It doesn't mean you aren't LPR anymore, you remain to be a permanent resident.
  9. Primary address is probably what you need to list. No need to bend the truth to match what you said in I-485. If asked on the interview, explain what you just said.
  10. Wait doesn't guarantee your I-751 will be approved without interview. Filing N-400 doesn't always mean you'll have combo interview. Sometimes I-751 gets approved before N-400 interview without interview. Whether to file N-400 or not depends on your marriage. If it is strong, file today. If you have or had issues, don't file N-400 on 3 year rule.
  11. Let the immigration officer do some work 😃 You provide the evidence, they'll figure it out. Or you can mention it in the cover letter briefly.
  12. Go through immigration. They'll stamp your passport. That's how you activate it. Don't forget to pay the ELIS fee to receive physical GC.
  13. If you still have a chance, reprint as one sided copies. Don't annoy the person scanning these docs in. They may not even do the job right with double sided copies.
  14. That's insane. At this point you may want to try to: - File N-400 - File Writ of Mandamus to sue USCIS for decision. If you need decision rather urgently, then option #2 is preferable, though more expensive if done with the lawyer ($5-10k).
  15. California is very liberal. I bet the real ID will also have full term and not 1 year to match stamp expiry. At least when I got real ID renewed with 2 year GC, I got DL expiring after GC, which is not the case in many other states.
  16. Don't plan returning a day before Advance Parole expires, this is bad. Leave at least few days earlier. What if the plane is broken or flight delayed? You may have issues coming back since you don't have GC in hand.
  17. That's pretty standard. Combo is never guaranteed. Your N-400 will be stuck until I-751 is approved. If it's been less than 60 days since the interview, I wouldn't even start to worry yet. Online status can also be pretty inaccurate.
  18. Depends on how busy the new office is. New York is a busy office. Oath need to be taken where you lived at least for the last 90 days. That's the rule.
  19. @Timetrain last visited November 3, 2021. Don't expect an answer any time soon.
