  1. Ok, but you gotta make sure your I-751 is not approved on the wrong premise of adjudicator thinking you're still married. This will lead to complications during naturalization. When is your divorce going to be finalized?
  2. You're free to date other people, nobody can stop you. Quick switch to a new partner can hurt your case, of course. There may be a question whether your marriage was bonafide. How long did you marriage last? How much evidence of comingling finances and living together in marital union do you have?
  3. The easiest path is to wait until he naturalizes, then he can change the name as part of it. He won't need to update Indian passport as he would be renouncing Indian citizenship by law. A lot of headache solved. If he changes his name now, he may be struggling to update his name on Indian passport. Bot sure how open minded Indian officials are. Plus he would have to explain the name mismatch every time he travels on Green Card, to Indian authorities.
  4. You may want to have a quick consultation with a lawyer to confirm this, but your parents should leave the US ASAP if they want to ever visit again.
  5. Are you a US citizen? Are you parents planning to stay in the US permanently? That's one way of addressing it.
  6. Visa validity is one thing. Once they enter, they cannot stay longer than 6 months. If they entered on May 1, and USCIS received extension paperwork after November 1st, they're out of status. If they entered on May 17th or later, they're still in status. Extensions take long time to be decided, sometimes a year or longer. If they get denied at that time, they won't be able to visit the US in the next 3 or 10 years. Even if extension is approved, sometimes it's approved retrospectively. E.g. by the time they get letter, it's already passed the date they're extended until.
  7. This is a bad idea. Are they still in valid status? When did they enter the US? Why can't they leave on time? If extension is denied, they may lose their visa and even get 3 or 10 year bar for visiting the US
  8. I'd definitely apply when eligible. Be aware of such cases though:
  9. This is a sort of thing I'm talking about: "To cut long story short. I over stayed my visa some years ago. I ended up with removal proceedings in immigration court. The case was administratively closed by a judge. Fast forward I applied for i485 with i765. My i765 got approved i have ssn. I later got this mail that said USCIS have no jurisdiction over my i485 I have to go to court to terminate my removal proceedings case with a judge and only the judge can approve my i485 at this point. My question now is my EAD still valid since there is no letter saying any benefits were stopped. " From: I will stop here since we're deviating from the original question.
  10. Agreed, plenty of red flags in this case. Do not expect an easy approval @Abdi10
  11. What you're mentioning is a regular adjudication process when USCIS has jurisdiction over the case. However, the more "advanced stuff" involves immigration courts. An immigration judge sometimes can grant LPR status, for example if OP was in removal and court had jurisdiction. However, sometimes judge only terminates proceedings and doesn't grant the status. In that case the I-485 should be transferred / refiled to USCIS. I'm not a lawyer, so please pardon my vague explanation. What I'm saying, sometimes USCIS has jurisdiction over the case, and sometimes it's the court. If somebody's case is pending at the wrong place, they usually won't touch it and person is stuck in limbo. See more here: https://www.uscis.gov/laws-and-policy/other-resources/immigration-benefits-in-eoir-removal-proceedings Maybe somebody more experienced can explain.
  12. I guess OP might be / have been in removal and now the I-485 is pending at the wrong place and cannot be approved. E.g. it should be with USCIS but it's pending at immigration court or vice versa.
  13. Send them together with other forms and I-485. They're free when you have AOS case.
  14. OP last visited July 13, 2017. @aileen86 don't expect to get an answer .
  15. That's what I also think. Things like bank statements, bills etc I can print again. What I cannot print is the original USCIS letters 😊
  16. My approach: - Keep the important documents such as original I-797 notices, naturalization certificate etc indefinitely. - Scan all the forms ever submitted (I-485, I-130, I-751, N-400) into digital documents and keep indefinitely in a cloud and computer - Scan all evidence into digital documents and keep indefinitely in a cloud and computer I wouldn't want to be stuck proving how I became a citizen 20 years later if I'm asked to for whatever reason. That may apply if I have to sponsor somebody, or if some of my descendants decide to become US citizens based on my citizenship etc.
  17. 7 years of AOS is extreme. Are you sure you can still adjust? It looks like USCIS might be just waiting for you to give up.
  18. Why don't you sue USCIS for decision? Is this a marriage case? Is case still alive?
  19. Processing starts only when the documents are received. As it says on the page: Interview Waiver processing takes approximately four to six weeks from the time the application arrives in the Consular Section.
