  1. Once you get 10 year GC with new name or naturalize, you can go to SSA and update the name there. Meanwhile mismatch is OK.
  2. This is pretty normal for N-400 and definitely for N-400 with pending I-751.
  3. No, you have to update it with SSA yourself. I would have recommended waiting until naturalization for the name change if you asked before I-751 was filed.
  4. Tax return transcripts? I was under impression that's exactly what USCIS / DOS prefers.
  5. @Andy davies was last seen on VJ on July 31, 2023. Don't expect answers soon.
  6. TBH, when I had pending I-751 (Dec 2021 - Aug 2023) there was a point in time when SRC was the fastest service center. Things switch around without apparent reason or warning pretty often at USCIS.
  7. No. Attach copy of 2 year GC with I-751.
  8. You need to get ADIT (I-551) stamp in your passport ASAP. Call USCIS, ask for InfoPass. Describe your urgent situation and hopefull you'll get an appointment to get stamp that's valid for a year.
  9. Scan photos. Place them in word document, 3-4 photos per page. Add captions under each photo: Date, location, occasion, names of people from left to right with relationship to each other. Print it. Done.
  10. Yes, and not only because of immigration, but for personal reason. It's best to know the person in real life before committing to marry.
  11. 10 years (40 quarters) of social security earned by immigrant OR naturalization of immigrant is when obligations of sponsor stop. So if sponsor's wife has been LPR for 10 years but she only has 30 quarters of social security earned, for example, sponsor is still liable.
  12. This estimate can be safely ignored. It provides wrong information all the time.
  13. B1 / B2 is cheaper and faster to get compared to GC. You won't believe how many people get B1 / B2 to violate immigration laws and overstay. If officer is not convinced in non-immigrant intent, then the only way is GC.
  14. If she has enough income for her household size + beneficiary
  15. Yes, even people with 0 income can file taxes. Filing taxes and paying taxes is not the same.
  16. N-400 cannot be completed without I-751. Hopefully either you get I-751 approved before N-400 interview or have a combo interview.
  17. You can safely ignore this incorrect information
  18. How much above the minimum requirement? Yes, there's a great chance USCIS will issue RFE asking for joint sponsor. If you want to minimize it, file with joint sponsor.
  19. Yes, both AR-11 and I-865 are required. AR-11 for GC holder I-865 for US citizen sponsor.
  20. Biometrics is already included in $750. There's no separate fee for biometrics for I-751
  21. No, you don't file again. Extension only extends GC, not another extension. You can request I-551 stamp / ADIT stamp. You can also file for naturalization if eligible.
  22. Actually you're right. I'm sorry for posting incorrect info. I thought it was a thread about people adjusting from K-1, but it was people waiting for their I-129F to get approved. Ignore my point about skipped batch.
  23. Most of the times this is true. However if you look at the graphs provided in the sister thread I linked, it's few weeks span of cases across service centers is stuck undecided. At least that's what it appears as.
  24. Your mileage may vary when it comes to documents showing online as well status showing real state of things. However, based on what you wrote, I'm not surprised about processing times. 1) A lot of AOS cases used to take over a year. We're heading that direction. Especially with hire freeze etc 2) There's a whole thread on forum where people who filed around same time as you experience delays: 3) You also have vaccination waiver. It definitely adds more time for processing. I anticipate majority of folks in thread above being processed before you if they don't have waiver. Good luck!
