    If her own income is way above required minimum, say 50k+, her income alone is sufficient.

    Do you still have I-751 extension? Is it valid for 48 months? Is it expiring soon? Yes, you can get I-551 stamp in passport if this extension runs out before you naturalize.

    Household size for brother (joint sponsor) is currently 3 due to him listing parents as dependants on his taxes. For each I-864 his household size will be 3+1, where 3 is current size + 1 immigrant. This is my understanding, others can correct me.

    But if you count time to GC K-1 may be still behind CR-1

    15 months was the average in 2024. So you should be getting news hopefully within the next month or so. Of course, the new administration is coming, so things may slow down.

    Verbal approval is not an official approval. Have to wait.

    You really are in normal processing time. Especially for 3 year rule case. Especially if you have pending I-751. 12-15 months is a normal timeline for N-400. Yes, some people got lucky and got naturalized faster in 2024 due to elections. This is all behind, so I wouldn't worry until you hit at least 12 months mark on N-400 case

    Agree on this one. I'd let dust settle. I disagree with this. Staying in broken relationship for immigration benefit is pretty much fraud. If marriage is ending, divorce is a better and cleaner option.

    The I-751 is designed to be filed in the US. Issue #1 is GC holders are expected to live in the US. Issue #2 even if temporarily living outside the US, LPRs are expected to maintain ties to the US including residence, ideally (rented or owned) Issue #3 for mailing address, US address preferred. I don't believe USCIS is going to send mail internationally. From what I saw, many filers in your position use a good stable US address for Mailing Address (not for physical), such as their parents' or relative's house etc.

    In case itself it shows account # for me

    Passport is what allowing somebody to fly. One cannot fly internationally on GC. Who looks at GC? US CBP Preclearance? Sure you'd show Canadian passport upon check in to airline and GC to US authorities.l futher in process. One should book tickets in passport name IMHO.

    This question deserves an analysis by lawyer. I would say the rules under which you got J-1 still apply to you. But I'm not a lawyer though.

    You need to use her current legal name.
  14. OldUser
    Agreed, even simple things like broken arm / leg can cost several thousands just for X-Rays.

    I don't see a problem putting petitioner's name and last name, then using space for both questions about petitioner and beneficiary as you list part number and question for each answer. If petitioner or beneficiary need to use entire page, you can make few copies.
  16. OldUser
    Do you need extra space? This section can be used for information about petitioner or beneficiary if there wasn't enough space on prior pages. For example, if petioner or beneficiary moved too many times, they may not have enough space to list all addresses on prior pages. You'd use this part 8 to add additional info. You can leave this section blank unless you need more space for questions on other pages.

    It all depends on your risk tolerance. Besides potential misrepresentation for AOS, you can also always be denied entry to the US by CBP on any trip while on visa. US CBP has full authority to check your phones / laptops etc. I'd imagine you'd have some photos from wedding or chats discussing it? I wouldn't risk it. Nobody can guarantee safe reentry and no problems down the line.

    I'm sorry about your loss. Passport is what allows you to board the plane. GC is what you need on US soil to enter the country. This is the right approach: After you land in the US, use your GC to go through border control.

    Estimates are useless. Here's example why: I-130s take around 15 months. You'd likely hear in May 2025 or later.

    Evidence of meeting each other few times before filing I-129F. Hotel reservations, flights, photos together showing you actually met.
  21. OldUser
    Give it a few weeks and you may receive an approval notice in the mail. Frankly, you can even receive multiple notices (empty RFE, approval etc). Looks like an officer accidentally clicked RFE button and then quickly corrected to approval.
  22. OldUser
    I-129F is a case in US citizen account. I-485 and I-751 are cases in immigrant's account. Do you not see the account # here? https://my.uscis.gov/account/applicant/profile It's safe to leave it out on form and USCIS will create one.
  23. OldUser
    All depends on USPS.

    Make sure to document your relationship and joint life. Take photos with friends and relatives. When married, add her to lease, open joint checking and savings accounts for monthly recurring expenses, get her name on utility bills. You'll need all of that for AOS, and in few years for her I-751 and naturalization.
  25. OldUser
    No. What you're describing is a case in trouble. You cannot pretent to live in place A, but in fact live in place B. Make sure immigrant files AR-11 as required by law within 10 days of moving. US citizen, as a sponsor must file I-865 within 30 days of moving. You live separately, so N-400 under 3 year rule will likely be denied. I-751 is in danger too.
