  1. January 2024 date of you LPR anniversary minus 90 days is the earliest you can apply. That'a given you don't have trips over 6 months since getting GC and you spent most of the time in the US.
  2. That's great. Disregard SS card with restrictions. Does he have an EAD?
  3. I used a copy with certified translation because original wasn't in English. At the interview, I showed the original. I'd follow that visa reciprocity link @Mike E provided If your BC looks like what USCIS expects, you should be fine. Don't send the original, only certied copy or scan. You won't get anything original back from USCIS.
  4. Please, for your own sake, review all the forms and instructions for AOS, as well as prepare for ROC. See what is required in terms of evidence. It may require US citizen providing copy of passport or birth certificate, tax transcripts etc. There's a lot going on, and gathering it takes time. We're here to help!
  5. Who are "they"? USCIS? I don't recollect them ever saying "ideally" in their instructions or forms. It is required for most applicants, yes. If you don't submit it with AOS packet, you will get RFE, which will slow down the case.
  6. There's no massive difference between filing online or on paper. You can choose whichever method you feel more comfortable with. USCIS allows and accepts both.
  7. I can vote online if you want 😃 But personally would file paper. All my petitions so far were on paper other than AR-11.
  8. I don't have data points, but if I was you, I'd first apply for ESTA and see if it gets approved.
  9. Were you married to LPR or US citizen? If first, 5 years, if second - 3 years. You can file 90 days early
  10. Request for evidence. This is when USCIS wants to see supporting documents for petition(s)
  11. I think it's natural for a lawyer to be careful and cautious. Any tiny error / false optimism / overpromise can lead to significant changes in client's immigration path. It's better be on this side of spectrum than the other. Immigration is a minefield or choppy waters of open South Pacific Ocean. Not a walk in a park IMHO and should be taken with great level of preparedeness.' Hacking may draw situations a bit scarier thab they are, but you gotta discount that, he's trying to make $$$$
  12. That's a desirable outcome, but doesn't always happen. Harder than regular jointly filed case, but not impossible. All depends on evidence.
  13. They've lived separately before. I can't think how this can be approved.
  14. Based on OP's history, the I-751 is unlikely going to be approved... I think it's been heading to for denial a long time now. Maybe USCIS is waiting for the marriage to fall apart.
  15. Yes in my opinion I think you have big issues already and this move (even "temporary" 1 year) will make chances of I-751 approval even lower.
  16. Yes, I believe they have to obtain such certificate from all countries including their country of origin where they lived for over 6 months at any point of their life. I believe some countries would allow to get such certificate without going there. E.g. through consulates etc.
  17. The best time to change the name, in my opinion, is when getting married OR during her N-400. Everything else can have small negative impacts when dealing with various agencies, airlines etc. No, changing the name won't change SSN.
  18. It's possible. But until you get both I-130 and I-485 approved, I would not believe a single word from an online Tier 1 agent. You still may get an interview.
  19. Oh man... I remember copy / pasting a few questions from VJ to Chat GPT. Due to many people not knowing what they're asking, Chat GPT produced horrible results. I wouldn't trust AI with such complex thing just yet.
  20. You or your wife needs file for divorce. Then you need to write to USCIS asking to convert your case to divorce waiver. Include copy of your divorce filing or divorce decree. Better hire a lawyer to help you with this. I don't think you understand the complexity of this case.
