    Yes, it is a problem. Amend taxes, you should be Married Filing Separately.

    While I understand your fear of dealing with ex, in reality you don't have to contact your ex. You have to hire a family lawyer and communicate with ex exclusively through lawyer. This is what they're paid for. What's really scary is the fact you're still married to the person who can harm you. If you live in community property state like California, your ex may be opening new credit cards or getting big loans. And you'll be liable for those! That's a really scary part. Or if they get extra tax benefits by providing false information to IRS on your behalf. You should really seek divorce, there's nothing good about being married to abuser.

    Reading Visa Journey on a daily basis. People are complaining about their packets not being processed for 1.5 - 2 months. This all began since end of March, right before the new fees were introduced.
  4. OldUser
    No need to modify evidence. Just upload it. To confirm: are you filing under 3 year rule based on marriage to US citizen?
  5. OldUser
    That's right. It takes about 1.5 months for them just to open the packet, scan it into system and create new case

    I think it's location dependent? Which enrollment center is the closest to you?

    EAD is Employment Authorization Document. Obtained by filing form I-765. AOS can take a year or so in some cases. EAD may be sent to you within the first 3-6 months of waiting. The card allows you to get SSN, get state ID or Driver's License, get employed, open bank account etc etc

    Good to know, thank you

    Small banks may put zeroes in place of your SSN until you get the actual number. But generally, no SSN - no bank account. Did you apply for EAD? Once you have it, you can get SSN from Social Security Administration

    1) You can always keep UK account if you want / need. Or downgrade to an account without service fees. Unless you really don't want to keep it. 2) Did you check boxes on forms to receive SS card? Documentation days up to 6 weeks after entering: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/immigrant-visa-for-spouse.html#18 If you don't want to wait this long / it's been passed this point you can always go to Social Security Administration and get it there

    True

    How did she build the US credit score not living in the US?
  13. OldUser
    When it comes to credit card game, there's many things besides the score to keep in mind. Capital One, for example, can only issue 2 cards max per client (not cobranded cards). Chase won't give any more credit cards if somebody has 5 or more hard enquiries in the last 24 months. There's many nuances indeed.

    How long ago was that? Sometimes online status is not up to date. Based on what? This I-485 petition? Something else? How come you have multiple? Are they valid?
  15. OldUser
    False. Any work (remote or not) while being physically in the US for any company, including foreign is illegal on VWP / visitor's visa.
  16. OldUser
    Congratulations!
  17. OldUser
    Receiving work card in such short timeframe is amazing news. A year ago work cards used to take close to 6-9 months to receive. I'd think AOS would be taking close to a year with some exceptions. Good luck!
  18. OldUser
    Yes
  19. OldUser
    Yes, re-enter as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the trickier re-entry may be.
  20. OldUser
    This is not how it works. USCIS schedules you for appointments. You don't get to choose dates, only can ask to reschedule appointments (cannot guarantee it will be granted). It's unlikely you'd get interview for I-751 within 6-7 months of filing, but biometrics may be scheduled in this timeframe by USCIS. Ideally, one should not leave the US until biometrics are reused / taken. If leaving before that, it's advisable to monitor USCIS account, case status and mail for updates. If appointment is scheduled, it's recommended to drop everything and come to the US for the appointment to ensure there is no denial of I-751. Good luck!
  21. OldUser
    Again, there is no guarantee biometrics will be reused for either I-131 or I-751.
  22. OldUser
    Who told you this? Nobody can predict with 100% your biometrics will be reused and you won't have interview. You should always assume you have to attend both. When you don't have to, it's a nice bonus. Not having interview for GC is likely going to increase the chance of interview for I-751. USCIS wants to interview immigrants at least a few times during the process.
  23. OldUser
    Where is this information from? Re-entry permit is linked to your LPR status, not GC.
  24. OldUser
    No issue for you. Just use your passport to enter Mexico. Use your passport + GC + extension letter to board the flight to the US.
  25. OldUser
    Federal agencies, including USCIS can see your entire criminal history including sealed and expunged records. It's best to say yes and provide details of how / when it got expunged. Saying no can be perceived as misrepresentation making you inadmissable, e.g. blocking you from receiving GC. Sometimes it's not the charges that make people inadmissable but saying "no" when "yes" should be said in I-485.
