The biometric appointment should only take 10-15 minutes. The interaction is pretty simple. From what I recall, you fill the form on paper asking for your name, date of birth and citizenship. Then you show ID, personnel takes your fingerprints. Something like that. You can try going together, but I'm not sure you're going to be let in.

Cheers for the link mate 🙂 I found many sweets, mostly Cadbury, double cream for cooking and crackers in World Market (California). I'm excited to get some minced pies, jaffa cakes and other miscellanious stuff. May stop by a liquor store doing imports to get some Green Spot Whiskey. It's pretty smooth, love its taste and the price is moderate.

I bet it does. Online printout is not exactly the same as printed version in the mail. Still, you should attend the appointment even if you don't receive it in the mail. How long ago was the biometrics appointment scheduled? It can take 4-6 weeks to get the paper in the mail, especially during holidays.

Looks like you didn't check the right boxes on I-130 to tell whether this is an oversees case or adjustment of status in the US.

@Eberechi to simply check case status, you don't need to log in. You can do it here by entering case number and pressing button "Check Status" https://egov.uscis.gov/

You must inform USCIS about address change by filing AR-11. You can do it online after moving, it takes 5 minutes. Responding to RFE is not enough to update your address. I-865 must be filed on paper. Send two letters, one for RFE and one for I-865. It's not expensive, but you'll avoid a lot of confusion that can result from combining multiple forms in one letter.

Hi, as long as your letter reaches USCIS before the deadline, you're OK waiting for few days until you moved to a new place. Make sure to file AR-11 within 10 days after moving. Your US citizen spouse (sponsor) would have 30 days to file I-865

This is very unfortunate. I think somebody looking at your file clicked wrong buttons and generated multiple letters. I'm 90 % confident it was in the following order: - They scheduled ceremony - Then accidentally cancelled - Then fixed cancellation by scheduling again You should definitely show up at the place stated in the letter on the date and time. I can almost guarantee you'll be naturalized. People on the phone may not give you 100% right answer. I'd show up.

Cannot agree more

Is the spouse has unrestricted SS card and DL that is still valid, those can be used for I-9 verification. No need to show the GC, in fact I never recommend showing it to employer.

Seems like you did everything right on your end. USCIS is known to send letters randomly to physical address even if mailing address is provided. Moving during I-751 is always associated with some risk unfortunately.

Hi @ALMG0214 1) is the address you live at now different to the one you put on I-751? 2) did you successfully receive any other mail from USCIS at current address? 3) did you file a case for notice non-delivery? https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDNForm.do; jsessionid=08E5FD1FD9BC*****************6F3?sroPageType=ndn&entryPoint=init You have an advantage, at least you know the case number. 4) did you try to get an infopass appointment? If your spouse gets a I-551 stamp in passport, they can renew driver's license and travel internationally for 1 year of its validity 5) does your spouse have an unrestricted social security card?

Yes, that's the best bet.

Guys you can also track your "batch" of cases here: https://www.casestatusext.com/

For the same reason you can't board a plane with visa approved but not in passport or passport renewed but not in hand.

Update: I researched more and found this announcement: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/visas-news-archive/20161228_ink-signature-no-longer-required-on-affidavits-of-support.html It looks like wet ink is no longer enforced and wouldn't result in rejection. Taking my words back @BLC!

Please read instructions: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/all-forms/tips-for-filing-form-i-864-affidavit-of-support-under-section-213a-of-the-ina "6a-b.You must sign and date the form in black ink. The signature needs to be original (not a photocopy)." Essentially, you did not follow the instructions. You got lucky nobody at NVC flagged it. Technically, anybody signing with stylus / digitally is violating instructions, which can result in form being rejected. I wouldn't risk it for such a low reward (2 mins to print, sign with black ink and scan the document).

You can definitely leave. Whether you'll be admitted back without the card is not guaranteed.

Awesome, I think you're solid

USCIS can revisit immigration history for anybody at any stage of their immigration. If USCIS thinks visa was granted in mistake, they can put the immigrant in removal. At that stage it may be useful to back up any claims you have with documentation. Have you heard about denaturalization? It's rare and it also occurs. But the most common use case when you need to reprove stuff is when you ask for a new immigration benefit. Imagine your wife wants to become a US citizen. She may be asked about her entire immigration history. Imagine your wife becomes a citizen and wants to sponsor her parents? She may need to show how she became a citizen, from start to finish. Or imagine you marry to somebody else from overseas in 20 years. There will be questions about you sponsoring ex wife.

N-400 cannot be approved without interview, that's 100%.

Wow, what a story. Thank you for sharing. I think you should consider formally renouncing Russian citizenshjp to avoid any prejudice from CBP / other officials (if you feel like). What a sad world we live in.

The evidence should be covering the period of time from start of marriage until filing. Few recent statements is poor evidence.

People actually get RFEs and NOIDs for redacting supporting documents. It makes USCIS think you're hiding stuff from them and raises suspicion. I wouldn't do it.

Financial comingling is one sign of a bonafide marriage. To prove comingling you can provide joint tax return transcripts and bank statements from joint accounts. Failure to satisfy USCIS by providing evidence sometimes results in even more intrusion. You and your spouse can be called into interview and interviewed separatly. Questions asked may be about your finances and even intimate life, which is super intrusive. USCIS may visit your home and go through your rooms, ensuring you're living together. I feel like providing bank statements is the lesser evil. Anybody can open a joint bank account and never use it. Bank statements show you put your mouth where your money is. It demonstrates that you actually comingle finances.
