    Maybe it's state dependent? Which state are you in @MalloryCat? Also, it may be due to incompetence of bank staff. They're maybe used to seeing DLs and IDs but not foreign passports. If that's the case, try speaking to other assstants, other branches or even other banks. There's so many online banks now out there too - Capital One, Discover, Amex, many more allowing you to open accounts / joint accounts without seeing a person.

    Agreed with what @Edward and Jaycel said. However, for multiple reasons, including those outside immigration, I recommend planning to find a place of your own sooner rather than later.

    Oh I see what you mean. MIL can either find certificate (which is important to know where it is anyways), file for replacement (long and expensive) or file FOIA. Neither wife nor you can file FOIA for her history without release form from her, as USCIS won't disclose information to third parties.

    You never know, so you always need to be ready for anything. My personal observation about immigration system: - You come to the interview prepared with stacks of evidence and it goes smooth, without too many questions and no evidence requested - You come to the interview unprepared and / or without evidence - be ready to be asked for it and grilled

    That's pretty bad. Looks like your lawyer isn't fully competent...

    No, there's many examples on VJ when only N-400 or only I-751 was conducted on the day. While combo happens in most cases, it cannot be guaranteed.

    There's many real ID options for domestric travel such as green card, passport, EAD. I'd still recommend getting a real ID compliant driver's license or state ID. Those are easier to travel with domestically, as TSA is more used to seeing them. If lost, they're also easier, cheaper and quicker to replace than passport, EAD or GC.

    Was it more expensive to complete DS-3025 vs doing I-693? Thanks for sharing.

    Actually, it's totally her petition. Ideally she's the one who has to work on it, understand all the questions and answers aa she's the one seeking naturalization. If MIL didn't have your wife in full custody when she naturalized, then wife is LPR and has to file N-400.

    If denied first time, you'll also have denial in your immigration history which may slow down / slightly complicate processing N-400 the second time.

    But why apply for immigrant visa when you're not ready to move and leave everything behind including job? Can't both of you take some time off to enter the US and receive GC? Good luck!

    Thank you for sharing this. Wow, amazed how the other page got abandoned

    Why would you move to NY for few months? Honeymoon? Either way, we cannot advice until we know the nature of RFE.

    No way in the world this would have happened any time soon under previous administration. I am susprised about this. Good news for some people!

    Yes, there may be bias towards the child through life because of this. They may be subject to extra checks at various agencies because of birth place. If feasible, I'd deliver child in the US. You can get birth certificate easier in the US etc. Would they also be dual citizen of Pakistan and USA? I'd avoid Pakistani citizenship if the plan for kid to live in the US. Dual citizens may be restricted in career choices etc.

    And that's great. You can upload tax return transcripts for the last 5 years under Other Evidence section.

    Wow, I didn't expect new administration making it easier for immigrants. Looks like there are some improvements. Great news for some people!

    You can give it a go. We're giving you a bulletproof plan, but you can choose to take some risk. Your application can be rejected before the interview if you don't pay correct fees, submit wrong form edition or miss pages or forget to sign it. Your application cannot be denied without interview. Note that words rejected and denied have diffrent meaning and cannot be used interchangeably.

    Some 2022 filers getting approved. Some 2023 filers getting approved as they filed for N-400 January 2024 - silence

    Risk of NOID or additional delays IMHO isn't worth this battle. If I was OP, I'd give them what they want - Joint Sponsor and call it a day.

    That's true. My impresson though test may be more expensive compared to getting vaccine again, delay the process of getting exam completed and, as you said, in most cases there's no harm getting vaccine again.

    What was the reason on your K-3 when it got admin closed? Any particular message in the status of K-3 etc?
  23. OldUser
    Yes it is crime, and yes, I'd report that.
  24. OldUser
    Well, if I understand correctly, fiance may have been placed under admin processing? Many went through this

    With AOS you can guarantee living together, but not working. EAD can take a year easily, especially in the new reality.
