Since you won't have bills or paperwork there, you can't provide anything for temporary address. AR-11 and I-865 don't require any evidence besides listing addresses.

Yes, behind the scenes it files form AR-11. But sponsor has to file I-865 on paper, online filing isn't available.

Please check out replies in this thread, it's similar situation to yours:

Any stats only shows past performance. It's similar to stock market. You can't rely on past performance alone to estimate future performance. I'd factor in the election season that's ending. New administration + less incentive to naturalize people faster. And also each case is unique. Your case can take shorter than estimate or longer than estimate. As an example, my I-751 estimate started with 7 months. I ended up getting decision in 20.5 months, and it wasn't just me in similar situation. Here's example of somebody's case saying it's taking longer... The only problem is, file has only been on file for 9 days

For taxes, submit all Tax Return Transcripts from the start of marriage. They're downloadable for free from IRS website. Submit all pages of documents you're providing. Submitting partial documents results in RFE most of the times

Include new Nevada lease, mail from Nevada once you have a permanent address. Make sure to file AR-11 within 10 days of moving (I'd also file for temporary accomodation too unless the lease in California would still be active) Sponsor has to file I-865 within 30 days of moving.

If your GC expires on 25 JAN 2025, you can certainly apply any time before that date. You can even file on January 6th if you want to celebrate holidays first. I'd file it from permanent address in Nevada aftet December 20th. Do not file before that, since USCIS is know to deliver mail to old addresses even if you change addresses in their system (AR-11 form).

I wouldn't count of estimations too much.

They cannot approve N-400 without approving I-751 first. Congrats!

There's no overlap between US and Canada processes. You can get Canadian permit.

You can spell everything all caps if desired. There is no requirement to use all caps.

They'll mail it to whatever address you specified in N-400. Give it a week or two. Sometimes going to appointment earlier works if you have letter on hand, so it doesn't conflict with the trip.

Unrestricted SS card and DL is the way to go!

Probably 1.5- 2 years. You can apply for her US passport meanwhile, but you'll have to prove her citizenship.

Surely random roommates renting house / apartment unit together typically are not in the same household?

Yes, simply including copy of completed DS-3025 is what you need.

I don't think you'll have a problem there.

It's not something you can control much... Many USCIS cases such as I-751 take way longer (over 2 years nowadays). As @wildbug100420 and @appleblossom pointed out, you're still within normal processing times.

I'd wait for updates. 4 months is a random estimate, don't take it seriously.

People did one or the other and both methods seemed to work. Instructions say to send as much as possible from date of marriage to date of I-751 filing. The most important things: 1) Keep it consistent. If sending monthly, send every month, don't skip months. If sending quarterly, don't skip quarters. 2) Do not redact statements. Don't blur out amounts, names, addresses, charges etc. 3) Send ALL statement pages . Sometimes people get lucky sending redacted or incomplete evidence. If you don't want potential RFE, just follow advice from the points above.

If USCIS isn't happy with your joint sponsor's income, it's time to find a different eligible sponsor.

The whole idea with WoM is that it never reaches the judge and gets decided before that.

Bad idea. The notice has two pages. Bring both.

Whether we all agree or disagree the only opinion that matters is of USCIS. They have key to the kingdom and petitioner is responsible for proving they're eligible for immigration benefit. We may like it, we may not like it, but burden of proof is on petitioner. If I recall correctly, this is one of the first chapters in their manual. If you're playing their game (filing immigration case), you should play by their rules. Accepting this fact will help getting the benefit faster. Resisting it makes you the party delaying your spouse's immigration. You cannot blame USCIS, the rules are out there in public and they don't change this often. Not just K-1 have to go through this. Many people adjusting status from visitor's, work or other visa have to do the same when it comes to removal of conditions. I'd say it's more widespread to share at least some finances in the marriage. By doing that you're putting money where your mouth is. Isolating finances from each other is highly suspicious in the eyes of USCIS. Hence request for more evidence. Good luck!
