  1. USPS Informed Delivery. I got info when my card was produced too, but tracking was delayed. You're right this only covers the last few days, once card is shipped.
  2. The estimates are made up, you're correct paying attention to reports by others.
  3. The list of documents depends on whether you're applying on 3 or 5 year rule. But you should also bring all of your foreign expired and unexpired passports. All ID cards ever issued by USCIS (EADs, Green Cards, Advance paroles etc). I strongly advice bringing tax return transcripts for the last 3 or 5 years (based on rule you're applying). If you had any criminal charges, bring paperwork around it. The interview letter also provides a list of documents and evidence to bring.
  4. That's what expected from applicant. The only reason why I mentioned airline tickets, passport stamps etc is because @irertwert doesn't remember when travel took place. Stamps, ticket etc help to reconstruct the dates to use on the form. I personally keep a Google sheet with dates I travel outside of the US since becoming LPR. So I also won't have to look at passport stamps etc.
  5. She isn't required to change name. But if she wants, yes, all the paperwork she does should include her new married name. Then also remember to list her maiden name in other names used fields on forms. Before she changes name, make sure it's not going to be a major headache. How easy is it to update her name on her foreign passport? If it's hard, you may end up in situation when her foreign passport will show maiden name and GC show married name. Not a deal breaker, but she'd have to carry marriage certificate to show to authorities overseas how these two names are related. Best time to change name is either as you begin immigration journey or during N-400. Changing name midway (after receiving GC, during I-751 etc) can be cumbersome.
  6. She needs to be in a legal status to apply for SSN. So probably after she receives EAD card. Make sure to file for I-765 in your AOS application as well as I-131. They are extra and optional, but if you want your future wife to be able to work and travel while waiting for GC, she needs to have them. Considering she was out of status before filing for adjustment, expect longer processing time for GC.
  7. How did you answer these questions beyond what's asked? USCIS needs exact days to use simple math to calculate days out of the country. This is used towards evaluating physical presence and continuous residence for each applicant.
  8. USPS Informed Delivery showed tracking number for my GC in both cases: after AOS and after I-751. Wouldn't it be similar in this case?
  9. Passport stamps, email confirmation for flights, chats, Googleclap history, CBP FOIA
  10. Agreed, this is what I heard on internet lawyer's immigration show. Either don't ever try to naturalize or if you do, have a lawyer to represent. This is not a DIY case anymore. The allegations of fraud are possible if OP tries to become a citizen.
  11. Three positive things about CR1 are: 1) It's much much cheaper than K1 route 2) Once your spouse gets immigrant visa and enter the US - they're LPRs. No need to wait for over a year for GC and be restricted in working, travelling etc like you are with AOS after K1 3) If you're married for over 2 years when spouse enters the US, no need to file I-751 which is additional expense and 2-3 year wait. What you're proposing isn't going to work realistically. You're stuck with CR1, and it's the superior route anyways.
  12. Those are just meaningless random numbers
  13. Bonus point: you don't actually need to log in. You can check status here without password too: https://egov.uscis.gov/ This is useful as sometimes myUSCIS is down not showing status, but this website might be up.
  14. This path is called immigration fraud. Nonimmigrant visas are not for relocating.
  15. Google doc / Microsoft Word. Create a new file. Place 2-4 photos per page. Write captions under each photo: date, location, event, people from left to right.
  16. Congratulations to you both! Don't file a non-existent form. Do you mean I-129F? Do not send any original documents unless explicitly asked for. Send copies. Yes, your fiance will need to include copy and translation of her birth certificate.
  17. Left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Bring all letters and 10 year GC. Bring the US citizen spouse too. Before the interview starts, make sure to inform IO your I-751 has been approved. Good luck and keep us posted.
  18. How old is the son? When was the petition filed? I assume this is immigration visa case?
  19. No. Once you got married, I-129F got invalidated. You also notified NVC. Expect additional scrutiny when it comes to I-130 with different beneficiary.
  20. I'd wait for official letter from USCIS. Don't rush with reply. Send it promptly, but also ensure you have overwhelming evidence of what USCIS is asking for. It's better to send a strong reply VS sending it faster.
  21. You'd share the same official document that allowed your kid to get outside Argentina with US authorities.
  22. USCIS lately doesn't schedule interviews in the 90 day filing windows. It does happen, but most often it doesn't get denied, person is placed on hold until they reach 3 or 5 year anniversary. It's filing too early that gets people denied 100%. But filing in 90 day window is acceptable.
  23. No, because vaccines don't give 100% protection. The more unvaccinated people around, the more probability the virus keeps living amount people creating a risk of infecting vaccinating people. Plus mutations occur, reducing immunity provided by vaccine... There's even mathematical formulas explaining what percentage of population needing vaccine to ensure the virus cannot spread. I agree, I do not see a strong case for waiving vaccine requirement for OP so far. Any waiver needs to be factually based and backed up by solid paperwork to be taken seriously.
  24. If waivers were easy, everybody would get them. In reality, receiving any special treatment, exceptions, waiver and expedites from DOS / USCIS is difficult. This especially applies to vaccinations and medical conditions (TB etc), as we're talking American public safety.
  25. That's a nice position to be in. Good luck with the process and keep us posted 😊
