    Oh I see, not having to wait makes sense. With 3 year rule, both spouses are advised to go to the interview VS under 5 only the applicant. Plus now he has to remember nitty grittys of how relationship developed over 17 years. But it's totally doable. Best of luck!

    Yes, it's possible: You don't have to file N-400 unless you want to become a US citizen.

    Great to see more December 2024 filers naturalizing. Congrats @RishDan and thank you for detailed recollection of how it went!

    Should have applied under 5 year rule. But I guess it's ok. Good luck!

    List everything you submitted for I-864 and we'll be able to identify issue
  6. OldUser
    You can but the question is whether you should... Do you have good income? Or did you use joint sponsor? Or assets?

    Submitted request thanks to @top_secret Got email about case being escalated

    The most important thing, you need to remember all countries visited and dates. Bring all old and current passports. Even for land crossings, make sure to list every trip over 24 hours. If you can't remember, it's your job to reconstruct all dates. Things that may help with that: - credit card charges that would show purchases overseas - paper receipts for purchases while on trip - phone location history - email communications - chat messages mentioning trip - photos taken overseas - rideshare trips if you took some overseas - talk to friends / family / work colleagues who you visited overseas, they may remember dates

    Sorry to hear it. For this reason I wouldn't even take a phone with me to interview... Can you clarify this sentence: Did what? Clean her phone? Or marry for immigration purposes? What sort of evidence did you include with forms? Also what fresh evidence did you bring with you? I'd be preparing for second interview (stokes) and possibly taking a lawyer with me next time. You may also get a home visit. Good luck!

    I'm a big believer in only beneficiary needing to go to interview. There's 0 chance of stokes interview when only beneficiary attends. There's more than 0 chance stokes may happen if petitioner attends. Interview suppose to last a few minutes. However, if counsular officer sees both people, the interview may get longer.

    Arguably, K-3 forms that almost never get approved take USCIS time they could spend on other petitions they approve, like I-130. Good luck!

    That's true. Stopping IO from inquiring into marriage though is another matter though and it's all a fair game at the interview. Here's my experience with 5 year rule interview:

    No. Sometimes updates take few days. But in most of cases, these ghost updates don't result in anything.
  14. OldUser
    No. You're overthinking. People received these messages in all sorts of cases. Try to meditate, or do something that relaxes you. As much as you need to be prepared, careful and alert, stressing too much isn't worth it. What helped me personally, is thinking that I'm just going to DMV 😃😃😃 I mentally prepared myself that I had a clean, straightforward case. That I will be granted citizenship. That this is a formality I have go through, like a visit to DMV to get a DL renewal. You don't want to be too relaxed, but at the same time, this helped me to reduce anxiety.

    Means nothing. An officer may have opened case to read about it, and closed without taking any action. You're definitely not the first to get those "ghost" updates. USCIS system is just glitchy.
  16. OldUser
    Nothing to be done. You remain UK citizen. You also become a US citizen. US only recognizes you as a US citizen in any relations with the US. UK only recognizes you as a UK citizen in any relations with the UK. This means you can't pose a UK citizen in the US, and you can't pose as a US citizen in the UK. Otherwise, if you travel to a third country, you can use whichever passport and citizenship.

    I have the freshest experience! Passport took about 16 days. I applied at USPS. The expedited service. The official estimate was about 3 weeks.
  18. OldUser
    Approval is only approval when you have passport back with visa in it. Good luck and please post when you do get visa!
  19. OldUser
    Yes, but you have to update officer with all new trips at the interview. Also make sure you don't break continuous residence or physical presence.

    To marry, you have to be free to marry. So you'd divorce and remarry. I wouldn't do it. USCIS and DOS recognized your marriage as real. Push back with facts. Escalate to their manager. I'd try after receing GC in hand, I suspect they're blocked because of this. Which country did you marry in? Does certificate match descrpition from this website? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html/ If yes, print this and show at DMV when presenting your marriage certificate.
  22. OldUser
    Marriage wise, fast divorce after receiving GC might be compensated by 5 years of overall marriage length. I hope you'd be able to provide any supporting docs showing marriage #1 was bonafide? Otherwise I don't seen anything super major here. I assume you disclosed this 2015 incident in your I-485 during your adjustment?
  23. OldUser
    Why not apply in 2 weeks after you both live at same address? Also, since I-485 can only be filed on paper, why not apply for everything including I-130, I-485, I-765, I-131, I-693, I-130A in one packet on paper?
  24. OldUser
    1) How soon after receiving GC did you divorce wife #1? 2) Was there a significant age gap between you and wife #1? 3) Was wife #1 of your ethnicity, same religion or country of origin or not? 4) Is wife #2 of your ethnicity, same religion or country of origin? 5) Did you know wife #2 before you met wife #1?

    If the child is removing conditions with mother, there should be only one I-751 form for both. And the total fee is $750 for both.
