  1. And after I-751, there's one more time to prove bonafide marriage if filing N-400 based on marriage to US citizen. Essentially, when naturalizing based on marriage to US citizen USCIS checks relationship several times: 1) During K-1 visa processing 2) During AOS 3) During Removal of Conditions 4) When naturalizing This is designed to catch immigration fraud. Somebody has to be checked 4 times by potentially 4 different people throughout several years.
  2. No, why make the same mistake twice? Just leave it out.
  3. How do you know this statistics, e.g. people who filed got approved in under 12 months? K-3 is largely an urban myth.
  4. Hi, first of all, there are no forms 1-130 and 1-129F. There are forms I-130 (I is capital letter i) and I-129F. Secondly, I-129F can be considered an urban myth. Yes, you can file it, but it won't speed anything up in most of cases. And lastly, don't worry about putting passport number in A number field. It's not a material error and unlikely going to have any negative effect on your case. Good luck!
  5. I see, I'll get large when my time comes. More pages, same price. Are you sticking around for the community? 😊
  6. Nice! Did you get regular or large book? Whst about passport card?
  7. I think to be safe you should bring approval letter for I-751, marital evidence and spouse.
  8. I'm a points enthusiast myself, but I don't have the risk tolerance 😃 Which bank if you don't mind asking? A lot of them have AI in place and cannot place any notes to approve charge until the charge occurs.
  9. No, they're in Brazil. Only people who live close and see you often would have something to say. Affidavits are also optional, I wouldn't bother with her family.
  10. The estimates are very inaccurate. I wouldn't pay attention to them. You filed 9 days ago, nobody knows how much exactly it would take as every case is unique. On average it takes 14 months. Message you're seeing would be reasonable for somebody who waited over 14 months, not for somebody who just filed. It's a total joke.
  11. This is not unusual. In fact, this is true in most of cases. The average wait is 14 months. Your case will likely will get onto somebody's table close to 14 months of wait. They'll spend 10-20 minutes on it and decide it. Until then, it's just sitting in the queue of cases...
  12. Hopefully it will change soon. It took almost 5 months for my biometrics to get reused. Some people only get biometrics reused, case actively reviewed statuses towards the end of their 12-18-24 month wait right before the case is approved. It was very brave of your using credit card for payment, glad it worked without issues. Good luck and keep us posted!
  13. Inability to pay for your own trip as a tourist can be seen a as a negative factor for visa approval. If the tourist cannot pay themselves there's greater risk of them working without authorization or overstay in the eyes of US officials.
  14. Yes, that's exactly what me and my spouse did. Married officially first, then celebrated some time later. Just remember your actual marriage day is the first one in any conversation with USCIS.
  15. I heard this before, I'm skeptical of this working.
  16. I do not recall a particular case like this I'd remember, but it's not to say it's impossible.
  17. In 2020, few weeks before Covid. I got the recent vaccinations to improve immunity as a couple of colleagues got sick with Covid recently.
  18. Looks like the service you're using is trying to push applicants to go the safest route to avoid delays and RFEs. Waiting for transcript being available or until you filed 2024 taxes is one option. Another option is to invest your own time in the process and not pay the middleman for no reason and file without 2021 tax return. By the time you get RFE you'll have 2021 and maybe 2024 tax returns available. I'd personally go for second option. There's nobody in this world who needs this case approved more than you. No notario / service is going to care as much about it as you. They make silly mistakes with scary consequences all the time, because they spend the minimal time on it.
  19. He has green card in his passport. Most of states allow I-551 stamp for proof of status. Try different DMV / speak to manager if needed.
  20. I wouldn't risk it. From what I know USCIS expects to see statements, just like the ones the bank would send you in the mail if you didn't enroll in paperless. Anything else has a potential of further requests of evidence. If you receive statements by mail you don't have to print anything either. I keep receiving paper statements (free printing by bank) knowing I may need it at DMV or in further immigration process
  21. Attending language school so he can hang out in the US won't work at this age and is just wrong and illegal to do (aka immigration fraud)
  22. Convincing embassy staff he's coming to study at age of 64 is going to be a difficult task with almost certain outcome - denial. He cannot do what he wants, live in the US indefinitely without a valid path. There's only four ways of coming to the US on permanent basis: - Employment - Asylum - Visa diversity program (Green Card Lottery) - Sponsorship by spouse, parent, child or sibling (siblings are out of the question due to super long wait)
