    It's definitely nerve-racking. I'd contact USCIS if you don't hear anything in the next 2 weeks.

    Lately it's been taking a while for everybody to get their NOAs. Typically people receive it within 8 weeks. It seems like your should be arriving any time now. I also assume you haven't moved since filing I-485?

    As much evidence of relationship as you can submit.

    Use whatever address the mail system / mailman in your country will understand, including abbreviations if needed. The whole reason for address is for letter to be delivered to address you provide. If this is a mandatory field, list and add notes as needed. That way you disclosed everything. Contact the school if you don't have the information.

    Each joint sponsor should be eligible on their own. You cannot combine / stack joint sponsor's incomes.

    This evidence doesn't hurt any case. Anything can be questioned, but usually it doesn't. It's recommended by immigration lawyers. I agree, school records / paystubs are even better.

    That's one good proof. What about vote registration, rent agreement, mortgage, job?
  8. OldUser
    Yes, all of those are useful. The more good evidence you provide, the strong the case becomes.
  9. OldUser
    Yes, I submitted 2 affidavits from family friends who knew us as a couple on ongoing basis.

    The status may or may not change. Some people get actively reviewed status, others don't get it. When I waited for my I-751, I got biometrics reused status, while others had "Case received" and nothing about biometrics for a year. Some of those cases got approved before mine. In short, online status means little. Many times USCIS sends letters without changing online status. You should receive letter soon, I'd say first week of September would probably be the latest.

    Most likely you'll get the letter before October. 8 weeks from filing means you should be receiving letter in the next few weeks.

    Yes all trips outside the US in the last 3 or 5 years (depending which rule you use for N-400). It's optional because not everybody travels outside the US.

    It's up to you. Neither approach is wrong.

    A US citizen or US LPR whose income exceeds 125% of HHS poverty guidelines as specified here: https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p For example, if it's somebody with household size of 2 living in one of the 48 contiguous states, the 125% is $25550. So if the sponsor makes over $40000 it should be easy, if between $30000 and $40000 it's a little harder, and if it's below $30000 it may be a challenge. If it's below $25550 then they're not qualified. The more dependants the person has, the higher income they need to be a sponsor.

    So you need a medical exam for immigrant visa. Did you complete it? Was vaccinations section completed?
  16. OldUser
    The entry is when you actually physically entered the US last time. At least that's what I'd put. ~ Not a legal advice ~

    No need for a lawyer to file I-131. The form is a bit tricky because it covers multiple documents (Refugee Travel Document, Re-Entry Permit and Advance Parole). If you follow instructions carefully, you will file it for Re-Entry Permit no problem. AFAIK you don't need a lot of documentation for it.

    Congratulations! There's usually few weeks in between approval letter and GC.
  19. OldUser
    It may become available. Also, I found tracking number much earlier in USPS Informed Delivery. You should expect a package described as "USCIS- Lees Summit Production Facility"
  20. OldUser
    Yes, this is normal. Just have to wait and see if it eventually gets approved or not.
  21. OldUser
    To get GC you'll either need to get an immunization or waiver approved. Waiver with prior immunization is possible, but not easy. Waiver also takes more time and money. You can postpone vaccinations and deal with it in the US if prefer. But you'll have to satisfy the civil surgeon and USCIS to get GC. Good luck!

    Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if she's asked the reason why she wanted to stay at the interview if she has one. Because time is the most valuable asset in everyone's life? You'd be surprised, but that's how USCIS operate. It's up to an immigrant to prove they're eligible for an immigration benefit and no fraud was used to obtain it. I'm not accusing anybody, just understand it's not an easy case.

    One would think an overwhelming majority of victims in this situation seek help and support from their family and head back to the country of origin. With only 3-4 months in the US, most of them would feel like it was a long horrible vacation VS planning long term immigration route. Of course, the person may have legitimate marital issue and abuse, as well as desire now to stay in the US. But USCIS will be no less sceptical and could assume it was all planned before entering the US. I cannot advise whether to go VAWA route or not, just a warning it may be a challenging one.

    Just get your US spouse sponsor you for IR-1 visa by filing I-130 petition. Getting student visa with US spouse is challenging. If the long term plan is to live in the US don't try getting non-immigrant visas.
  25. OldUser
    If they were green card holders when you became a US citizen, yes. Or if they were born after you became a US citizen. Otherwise they have to apply for N-400 as adults after you sponsor them for GC. There's no way to skip being a LPR stage AFAIK.
