  1. This is normal. Things with immigration take time as you might have seen already.
  2. It doesn't seem like something that would prevent you from naturalizing. You didn't sell controlled substances, or guns or robbed somebody. Disclosing is better than not disclosing. Not disclosing this minor issue can become a problem in itself. If unsure, you can consult a lawyer.
  3. As I mentioned, if submitting part of doc, you can expect an RFE. Maybe not worth including?
  4. Either include all pages or don't include any. All evidence should be complete when you submit it. Do not submit partial documents or partial forms, this has a potential to trigger RFE. Are you filing on paper? Why not file online? If you do electronically, then you can upload as many pages as you want as long as document is not too large in size.
  5. Couldn't agree more. The question whether one was ever cited should be answered "Yes". Downplaying or hiding it isn't the right solution.
  6. At one point everybody was doing biometrics. Nowadays majority get biometrics reused, but don't worry. You might have been randomly selected.
  7. Applying yes, but for approval it was always needed... I guess there were many waiting for RFE to submit medical. I submitted my I-693 when applied for I-485, and most I know personally did the same. Another thing though during those times I-131 and I-765 were free when filed together with I-485.
  8. Starting 02/12/2024 you're required to submit medical I-683) with I-485. If you don't include it, your petition will be rejected. P.S. Not everybody needs to submit I-693. If you did DS-3025 as part of K-1 process, it's still valid and all vaccinations were taken which is reflected on the form, you don't need to do I-693. Personally, for K-1 filers, I'd include copy of DS-3025 with I-485 to avoid rejection just in case.

  9. Somebody was debating on forum recently about new administration waiving COVID shot requirements etc. I am still pretty skeptical about new administration changing rules to make immigration easier if the rules are getting stricter under current administration in regards to medical requirements.
  10. "Applicants for adjustment of status generally must complete an immigration medical examination and all required vaccinations and submit a properly completed Form I-693 signed by a civil surgeon to show they are free from health conditions that would render them inadmissible under the health-related grounds. If you are required to submit Form I-693, or a partial Form I-693 (such as the Vaccination Record), you must submit it with your Form I-485. Otherwise, we may reject your Form I-485. We have revised the Form I-485 instructions to make filing the two forms together a requirement. We have made this change to reduce the number of Requests for Evidence we issue before adjudicating a Form I-485."

  11. Sounds good. You'll likely be either late December 2024 filer or early January 2025 filer. Don't file before 12/28, you'll get denied. You can start populating your form, but don't submit before 12/28. Some people saw denial when filing exactly on first day when they were eligible, so it's best to file at least 12/29.
  12. Hi, if you want to file under general provision, you're not yet eligible and will be eligible 12/28/2026 If you want to apply based on marriage to US citizen (e.g. still married and you live in marital union from start of LPR status until oath), then the earliest you can file N-400 is 12/28/2024. I'd file first week of 2025 or later to be sure. By the way, is your I-751 still pending?
  13. This is common in all sorts of cases, be in K-1, I-751, N-400 or asylum case. For example, I know somebody personally who filed I-751 2 weeks after me and got approved 4-5 months earlier than I did because my block got skipped.
  14. You should have 48 months extension based on expiry or your GC. E.g. if your GC expired in 2023, your extension letters should be extending card up to 2027. Do you now have 48 month extension letter? Or do you have it but filed I-751 few years later? I don't want to overload the message, there's several options based on your answer which I will post based on more details from you.
  15. Since you already tried using assets in initial submission and USCIS sent RFE, they're not satisfied with it. Looks like the only way to progress is joint sponsor for foreseeable future, as even with changes to income you need to wait until it continues, but you have deadline for RFE.
  16. This is OK, you shouldn't have any issues. Is your spouse listed in your will? How easy would it be for spouse to claim ownership of house if you suddenly die? That's the only concern and it's outside of immigration scope.
  17. It won't hurt attaching the certificate. It would have been easier to file everything together instead of filing I-130 and I-485 on paper at different times. Make sure to attach copy of I-130 receipt with I-485 submission so cases can be linked.
  18. It doesn't take too long to file, maybe an hour or so of typing answers on the form I-130. But the son won't be able to come on immigrant visa for 15+ years.
  19. There's several scenarios and nobody can predict how exactly it will go. 1) You can have I-751 decided before your N-400 interview and removal of conditions interview will never be conducted 2) They may do I-751 interview on same or different date to N-400 interview 3) You can have N-400 interview only and they'll tell you they can't decide on N-400 because of pending I-751, then will decide I-751 few weeks / days / months later with or without additional interview 4) They may conduct both interviews and give you decision same day with oath on same or different day 5) They would typically start N-400 interview with civics test followed by yes / no questions, or do it the other way round. Either way, because you're applying based on marriage to US citizen, I highly recommend taking the US citizen to all interviews you're scheduled for.
  20. Yes this timeline can raise questions, especially if followed by sponsoring a person for immigration benefit shortly after. I'd develop relationship and wait for some time.
  21. Does your joint sponsor have a valid US passport with latest legal name? Maybe it would be easier to use copy of that to prove US citizenship.
  22. Generally, I wouldn't be a problem iny opinion. It's the divorce not so long after getting 10 year GC that could be paid attention to. When are you eligible to apply for naturalization? In 2027? There's a backlog for spouses of LPRs...
