    Agreed, no benefit to withdrawing now. Fees are paid and not refundable. There's definitely risk of issues with I-485 when withdrawing I-130 on the other hand.

    Travel between interview and oath is different to travel after oath and before getting US passport.

    I hope @Nashmusah was actually going for naturalization (naturalisation is UK / Australia business). Looks like OP's case was treated as case under 3 year rule. What boxes are checked on your form @Nashmusah?

    You can continue travelling with GC and extension letter. As long as your physical presense doesn't get affected of course. You will get asked about trips between interview and oath before your ceremony begins.

    This definitely helps

    You can expect the same for I-751 / N-400

    Converting I-751 to divorce waiver is extremely necessary. If USCIS approves your I-751 on wrong premise (thinking you're married removing conditions jointly) - you would put your LPR status into question when attempting to naturalize. I'd focus on divorce / I-751 before atrempting N-400. As you may know, N-400 cannot be approved before I-751 is adjudicated properly.

    I do not have experience using Zelle / Venmo for evidence. Maybe others can comment whether this is a good idea or not. It may work both ways in my opinion. If you have public transactions on Venmo, by submitting account information you're potentially inviting USCIS to scrutinize your transactions with other people.

    If you pay by personal check, cashiers check or money order, you don't need G-1450. This is only needed for credit card payments.
  10. OldUser
    This is a good start. Other than filing taxes together, how else do you comingle your finances? Do you have joint savings / checking accounts?
  11. OldUser
    I highly recommend paying with personal check to avoid credit card transaction getting declined and causing all sorts of delays. If you read VJ, you'll see people report issue paying with CC because bank flags transaction as fradulent.

    Good evidence can require 500+ pages. But not all 500+ packets contain good evidence.

    I don't see a major problem with you living separately for the first 4-6 months after becoming a conditional resident. As long as you document your attempts to spend time together well, and as long as you eventually move in together, I-751 should be approvable. I'd save receipts for gas, hotel stays, restaurants etc etc. Would save email comminication explaining how you asked about working in state A, but manager says you have to work in state B etc. Good idea is to open joint savings account where you both can contribute towards future move in costs. This should be good evidence until you actually move in and get lease in both names.

    GC is probably a reason why they can't give her tourist visa. Did they give her denial letter?
  15. OldUser
    Yes, most problems travelling with I-551 stamps / extension letters etc are caused by airlines overseas, not CBP on US soil.
  16. OldUser
    I'd definitely do that. Met a lot of British on my flights from and to EU back in the days (circa 2014). They sent their kids to UK / EU to study as the tuition fees were better. It helped the kids were dual US / UK citizens.

    In theory yes, in practice USCIS denies cases for no show every now and then, even when reschedule request was submitted and acknowledged. I'd follow the golden path (no reschedules, all evidence submitted) to lower the chance of erroneous denial. Also, why make USCIS work on case if not ready to naturalize? This slows down other people who eagerly wait for their case to be decided, ready to go to interview / oath any moment they're invited? It's like joining long airport security line only to ask somebody to hold your spot when it's your turn to go... Can do if really want, but it's somewhat a waste of everybody's time.
  18. OldUser
    No, you're not getting I-765 based on J-1 visa. I'd leave it blank as irrelevant.
  19. OldUser
    Yes, for most petitions, NOAs take up to 8-10 weeks. Example: Not the person hasn't received a physical letter yet
  20. OldUser
    It's a good idea to always keep copies of everything you ever submitted to USCIS. If not physical, at least digital.
  21. OldUser
    No. Bonus point: when it comes to employment make sure you have an unrestricted Social Security card. For I-9 verification, you can show employer unrestricted social security card and valid driver's license. This is much better than showing GC / extension letters and getting unnecessary questions / pressure from HR.
  22. OldUser
    With valid GC: - Valid passport with at least 6 months expiration and 2 blank pages plus any applicable visas (this all depends on a countries you travel to) - Valid GC With expired GC: - Same as above (e.g. have your expired GC with you) plus original extension letter while it's valid.
  23. OldUser
    Yes you can, as long as your GC is valid when you're travelling back to the US. Don't travel too close to expiration. There's always a chance of travel discruption which would mean you can be stuck overseas without valid GC.
  24. OldUser
    You get letter automatically after filing. You will see it in online account and it will take 4-8 weeks to get the original in the mail. You need the original to travel internationally.
  25. OldUser
    I'd recommend waiting until you're free to participate in process. Filing knowing you'd have to reschedule just creates unnecessary work for USCIS.
