You can file it tomorrow, though if it's under 60 days since entry to the US, you may be asked whether adjusting was your intent from the start... Not really Ideally yes, because all I-131 and I-765 take time to get approved. Of course each case is unique and can take however much it needs to take. You can check processing times here https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ You can also browse this forum on VJ and check out active monthly thread to see people's reports: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/138-adjustment-of-status-case-filing-and-progress-reports/ Bear in mind, just like with stock market, any previous performance doesn't predict the future 100%. There's also new administration coming which can affect USCIS prioritites.

I'm not aware of any significant changes to rules about support, but others who were around for longer here may chime in.

Go to civil surgeon and get it done?

I don't know if there is a preference, but agency that translated my docs had original and translation in one PDF side by side. It worked.

You filed I-130 online, right? So just write a letter saying correct answer for question 46.A should have been H1B. Upload it in unsolicited evidence for I-130 case.

Congrats and Happy New Year!

Wasn't for my AP, wasn't for many other people's APs. Not sure about Re-entry permit, but I'd imagine it's similar.

Fast approvals were a minority and for spouses of US citizens. Expect things to slow down, including N-400, as elections are over. Realistically, not much will probably happen until second half of 2025.

For Advance Parole even writing "To be determined" was OK. For re-entry permit either write the same or something like "professional trip"

Technically, yes if you have ESTA or visa. CBP has always authority to deny entry for any non-immigrant.

I-94 is irrelevant for green card holders. LPRs don't get I-94, it's only for non-immigrants. Old I-94 may only be needed to ensure you were inspected when entering the US on non-immigrant visa before adjusting. That would have been covered during AOS process (I-485 form).

*sigh* What really matters is what checkbox is checked on DS-3025. Just double check the copy she should have received when she completed medicals overseas. This is the main thing that determines whether she needs I-693 in the US or not.

USCIS will gladly cash checks even if there are issues with the case. RFE for I-864 is very early stage of processing. Just because DOB issue hasn't resurfaced yrt, doesn't mean it won't be flagged and become an issue later in the process.

Is there a visa available (based on priority) for your spouse, as you're not a US citizen? Is your spouse in legal status in the US?

I'd put ref on both, it doesn't hurt. Definitely in the letter body. Yes you can send with USPS to whatever is thr right address. I'd do certified mail. And upload digitally

Ok, that's a different story. So was he 25 or younger when he got GC? Then he should have registered for Selective Service. I-485 doesn't always make this registration automatic. It depends what edition of form was filed, and what info was put into form. Lawyers typically help crafting a letter explaining all circumstances for failing to register for selective service and explain immigrant wasn't aware of requirement / believed they're registered and ready to protect the US if ever needed. Often immigration officer acknowledges this and lets the person to naturalize. I'd do this case with a lawyer if you can afford. Not to say it's impossible to do DIY, but here you already have one wrinkle in the case. Are there any more issues for naturalization that you or your spouse are not aware of?

Is this box checked on DS-3025? "K Visa applicant voluntarily completed vaccination requirements"

- She could spend any amount outside of the US without worrying about losing GC. - Sometimes people get into legal trouble for no good reason and that affects their ability to stay in the US. Citizens would not be deported, but LPRs can depending whether crime is a deportable offence under state laws - She can pass citizenship to any future kids - She can sponsor her parents or adult kids to come to the US as a citizen - She may get additional benefits as a citizen when it comes to SSA, medical help - She may get certain jobs that require US citizenship

If vaccinations were all completed on DS-3025, no need to do another medical exam. If not all vaccinations were taken, then I-693 is required.

Very good point. Without it, AOS packet will be rejected.

Crimes, not filing taxes, spending too much time outside the US, false claim to citizenship, voting, drugs use, immigration fraud.

MyProgress is a joke. People get "Your case is taking longer than expected" 9 days after filing.

Whoever is the immigrant should keep their immigration documents including USCIS letters. I-129F NOAs are some of them. The only disadvantage of keeping records is space. But I'd gladly toss some other stuff like excess clothes or other clutter to make space for docs that literally proof right to remain in the US.

Yes, as long as you already have the date for appointment, you have two options: 1) Try to walk in early (with letter) OR 2) Reschedule appointment for earlier date (kudos to @Edward and Jaycel:

Yes, make a digital copy of NOA2 and keep it. I'd say keep all original I-797 letters for all cases including future cases (I-129F, I-485, I-751, N-400). Make digital copies of them too and store in the cloud. In the end, your fiance will have about 20-40 pages of important papers from USCIS documenting their immigration journey. Government may always ask to re-prove / re-verify how they became a citizen, even many years later. Either for them or descendants. Along with house deed and their birth certificate, these are super valuable docs.
