    I'm sorry she had to go through this though

    USCIS case processing is known to be unfair and inconsistent. And this applies to all types of cases, not just K-1. There's people who waited for 44 months to get I-751 approved, when average time was 6-12 months. I understand your frustration though.

    Sorry to hear about your situation. Did you include copy of divorce decree in your submission or reply to RFE? It looks like you have to get ready for the interview. Will your lawyer be attending it?

    @MK878 I'm not your immigration or family lawyer. However, it's in your interest to finalize divorce ASAP. Give him whatever he needs and close this chapter. Unless you're splitting millions of dollars or fighting for the kid (which I realize may be the case), it's easier to move on. This will give you final divorce decree which will allow you to get I-751 approved and stay in this country. If your I-751 gets denied, you can refile quickly a new I-751 with all good evidence with divorce waiver. But if you delay it, you may be put in removal. Which is a lengthy process, but may get you deported eventually if you don't get it right.

    You don't want him to show to your interview. This can do more harm than help.

    I wouldn't overshare about your reasons to naturalize or past marriage. It's unlikely to benefit you.

    In the additional evidence I'd think. It's not required, but it would be in your interest to make sure IO is aware of I-751.

    You mean your I-765 got approved at lightspeed? Yes, this happens to tiny number of lucky filers. Did they send card for production yet?

    Are you travelling next Monday? If not, go to the place in appointment letter and try to do your biometrics earlier. Not guaranteed, but many ASCs allow walk ins if you ask for help. Rescheduling is 50/50 success based on what I've read.

    How long has it been? If it's less than a week I would wait longer or contact USPS. You can re-request missing notices here: https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDNForm.do?sroPageType=ndn&entryPoint=init

    The primary reason USCIS needs the passport is to see any stamps / visas related to your US immigration. The passport doesn't have to be unexpired or valid when you show it to IO.

    That's good to know, thank you. @mark08 can also confirm whether old passport will be taken away. When I renewed passport last, I kept the old one. It just got invalidated by cutting a corner.
  13. OldUser
    Can you wait on renewing your passport until after the interview? I don't believe it's needed for ceremony

    Some people reported success travelling on a copy, but I highly recommend travelling on original letter. An airline may not allow you to board the plane to the US on a copy (and rightfully so). It can take 4-6 weeks to receive original watermarked letter in the mail. Looks you filed very recently. If you don't receive it in the mail by mid November, I'd file a request https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDDForm.do?sroPageType=ndd&entryPoint=init

    Good luck and sorry you're going through this.

    You won't be "fine". You may get a GC with wrong name on it. Put some pressure on him, you're the client and he's working for you. Get a copy of everything submitted for your records. If he doesn't help, consider firing this incompetent person. What is he going to do if you get RFE or incorrect document? Brush it off? Are you sure he's a lawyer?
  17. OldUser
    Sorry to hear about the typos. Let it be a lesson for everybody reading... Don't blindly trust the lawyers. Always check everything and correct mistakes before it gets sent to USCIS. I cannot say for certain you'll be fine travelling, but it seems like there's some chance you're going to be OK. The biggest hurdle is the airline. Also demand your lawyer to send a letter to USCIS asking for corrections. Request a copy and proof of such letter. Your lawyer should be doing everything to make up for their mistake.

    No US citizenship is needed for opening a bank account. People on J1 visas open bank accounts all the time.

    Yes. Sometimes no notification is sent even with G-1145 on file. NOA takes 4-6 weeks easily to receive.

    How long have you been an LPR? What's the resident since date on GC? That's more important than how long your marriage is. E.g. I'm operating with limited facts. You may have been married for 10 years, but been an LPR only for 3 years. Or you may have been an LPR for 8 years. Based on that you can pick eligibility criteria for N-400. If you've been LPR for 5 years or more with no breaks in residecy, you may be eligible to apply under 5 year rule. For that, it doesn't matter if you're married or not and you do not have to prove your marriage.

    My lawyer told me to have them signed by those people and attach copies of their state ID / DL. To say it was ackward to ask is to say nothing. But friends were very keen on providing it, and my I-751 got approved. Notarizing it may be easier / safer than asking for their IDs.

    Best to pay with check. If you search VJ, you'll see sometimes bank flags this transaction as fradulent.

    Sending all at the same time is OK. AR-11 can be filed online today, it takes 5 minutes.
