    If you were in removal, USCIS would have not had jurisdiction to adjudicate I-485. At least this is my understanding. I think I wouldn't leave the US until resolving this situation. A good lawyer may be needed to fully understand your case.

    You're a victim and you won't to be punished when filing a police report. However... If you, for example, punched the neighbor the day earlier and that's why he slashed the tire. That's a completely different story.
  3. OldUser
    The only caveat: you should have not had any trips lasting over 6 months in the last 5 years and you should have spent at least 30 months in the US in the last 5 years. You should also lived in the USCIS jurisdiction for 90 days prior to filing and have good moral character. Yes, that's exactly the rule you can use in this situation.

    You can definitely file under general provision if you held your GC before January 1, 2021 Yes, you're eligible to file under general provision. It's a much easier route. Less docs required, no need to reprove marriage. Good luck!

    You could have not filed the form. You can only fill a form, and file the application. If form is not mailed yet, nothing is filed. Hopefully you're a spouse of a US citizen (not multiple citizens, please be careful as using wrong words can make your N-400 interview very tough). You can file under general provision, if you meet criteria. It's much simpler than filing as a spouse of US citizen. How long were you an LPR?

    First of all, N-400 petition belongs to one person and that is immigrant wishing to naturalize. Secondly, you are not a late filer. There is no requirement to ever naturalize and no timeline. Some decide to become citizens after many years of holding LPR status, others never file N-400.

    It can happen. I've seen this with I-751. Some cases were stuck in "Case received" and then rapidly went through all online statuses on the day they were reviewed and approved.

    How can estimates be accurate when they constantly shift? None of my cases took anywhere near of what USCIS estimates or any other estimates predicted... I-751, original estimate was 7 months. Ended up 20.5 months.
  9. OldUser
    15 months is pretty normal. My I-751 case took 20.5 months and it was a simple case. FOIA means your I-751 case will be paused for some time while they're processing the request. I don't think you have a choice. If you're missing information FOIA can provide, then you should file it. N-400 with wrong information is worse than delay of I-751. What info are you missing?

    What I'm saying is, you either: - Got GC in error, then you're in trouble as it's not valid - Got it correctly, then you shouldn't have removal proceedings.
  11. OldUser
    You needed to be admissable to receive GC. Did you disclose everything on I-485? Unless removal proceedings were terminated you could not adjust. Did you handle adjustment yourself or with a lawyer?

    I'd submit a copy of I-130 approval when filing I-485
  13. OldUser
    The question from USCIS is whether you paid taxes and not whether paid taxes correctly.
  14. OldUser
    I wouldn't wait to file N-400. USCIS is only interested in you filing taxes and whethey are filed jointly. USCIS is not IRS and won't be checking numbers that much. Bring amended returns to the interview.
  15. OldUser
    Did you sponsor the other person for GC too? It will be something USCIS take into account.
  16. OldUser
    Bad marriage can cost a lot more than tickets to see each other. I wouldn't want to marry somebody I've never met in person.
  17. OldUser
    The estimates are pretty unreliable. Plus I-130 is good, but I-485 is what really matters for GC. The processing time on I-485 may be longer.
  18. OldUser
    It would be harder to prove you can use it VS getting a new one.

    Establish as much evidence of comingling finances and living together as possible. Some things can take time and it's OK too.

    You will have to list all the trips in the last 3 or 5 years when applying for for N-400. Listing countries like Cuba, Syria, North Korea etc etc will at minimum put you in extended background checks, requiring much longer process. You may also need to do some explaining to CBP and other authorities upon return to the US. Travel to Cuba is frowned upon. If you're a US citizen you'd have to apply for special license in the US to travel there. My recommendation is to not travel to Cuba. Unless you have sick mother there, do not put your future at risk. In short: yes, I believe it can slow down and affect your I-751 and N-400.

    Not an issue unless paying out of pocket. Most credit cards with this benefit will cover the increased cost.
  22. OldUser
    Nobody can guarantee smooth entry into the US with multiple long trips. However, you filed I-131 and should have a I-797 for that. Bring it with you. Bring some evidence of ties to the US: your copy of lease for example. You cannot be denied entry to the US, but there's always a remote possibility of being referred to immigration court.

    You won't be renewing green card. In fact, there's two different forms: - I-90 - Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card - I-751 - Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence Replacement is for people who have a permanent GC which is expiring. Form I-90 is for replacing card... You are removing conditions, so need to file I-751.

    Usually you need two different proofs. Yes, bank statement from joint account would work, if your name is listed. But also include second document such as utility bill.

    I don't see a reason for any other types of letters from the bank to be rejected. E.g. letters with alerts, updates, promotions. Did you have negative experience with this?
