    Can you apply? Yes. Will the criminal record affect the application? Most likely. Check DS-160 form questions, I'm 99.999% sure you'll be asked about criminal charges.

    Understood The downside - you'll have to do extra paperwork to prove it, e.g. CRBA. The plan of travelling outside while I-485 is pending is not good.

    If you don't have proof (receipt) of AR-11 request, treat it as if you never filed it. I'd update the address now and in few months after moving. Both times - AR-11. If you were moving in 3 days, I wouldn't bother, but few months is significant amount of time in my opinion. On N-400 use the latest address after you move. Make sure to update driver licenses / state IDs to match that address.

    You can celebrate when you have certificate of naturalization in hand. Most likely though, your immigration journey is about to end, e.g. hopefully you'll have your oath soon!

    Why not give birth in the US? This way: 1. She won't abandon her AOS 2. You will be able to support her during pregnancy 3. The kid will be a US citizen

    What all joint documentation did you send? 1. Do you have lease or mortgage together? 2. Do you have kids? 3. Do you file taxes jointly? You're should be fine if you have few items from this list. The more the better.

    Only 3 years 11 months 31 days 15 hours and 59 minutes to go! Joking, hopefully not. Good luck!

    That's true, though I ran some theads from VJ, and ChatGPT gave utterly wrong answers. I guess EMMA agents were even worse.

    Don't ever do it again. Only DL + SSN card

    Looks like you're approved!

    If you have an unrestricted social security card (no wording such as "Valid for work only with DHS authorization") you can show it along with valid driver license (or state ID) during I-9 verification.

    I believe the case you're referring to was different. Here we have pending I-751, the lawyer talked about the case where there was no pending I-751 (it was early to file). The answers would be different depending on situation. Where there is no pending petition, there's no need to immediately tell USCIS, that could be told when the time comes to file I-751.

    There's few potential (not guaranteed) benefits to the widrawal approach: 1. Joint I-751 is unlikely going to be mistakenly approved 2. Gives a clean slate to build the case from scratch. OP likely has more evidence of bonafide marriage by now. This also reduces complexity of the case for IO reviewing it (fewer back and forth between them and petitioner etc). 3. It appears that USCIS approves some fresh cases super fast. The fact that OP's case is 1 year old doesn't mean it's going to be reviewed soon. @Crazy Cat's wife waited 44 months. A fresh case may get go through whole cycle much faster than waiting for decision on older case.

    Ignore 2020, nobody uses that anymore. Only 2008 version is relevant.

    This has two problems: 1. Your case can be sitting for another 2 years before approval or RFE 2. Keeping married for immigration benefit is called immigration fraud. It can have severe consequences for you and your spouse. This all depends on your your trust in this relationship. If both of you still have some faith, you can try counselling / couples therapy to save the union. If you have doubts, should just divorce quickly and proceed with divorce waiver I-751.

    You would need to notify USCIS about a change of your marital status (divorced) and convert existing I-751 into divorce waiver. Or file a new I-751 once divorced, at the same time withdrawing old joint petition. It's important for USCIS to know about the divorce. If joint I-751 case is approved without interview, when you're divorced, you can have major problems during N-400.

    Found this from 2016: https://www.***removed***/forum/usa-visitors-visa/155708-entering-us-with-visa-annotation-canadian-pr Not sure how accurate the answer is and what's the basis.

    So why don't your friend let her do the legwork and deal with it as it comes? I think this thread is no longer a discussion about immigration. It turned into conversation about life situation.
  23. OldUser
    I believe the OP says the lady has a valid tourist visa. So I assume she was visiting the US.
  24. OldUser
    If he's not listed on child's birth certificate, that becomes even a bigger hurdle for the lady to claim the kid is a US citizen.

    There's no obligation for father to go through CRBA. It's a question of ethics whether he would want to do it or not. The USC friend needs to realize that by filing CRBA the mother gets avenue to come to the US once the child turns 21 and can sponsor her. Otherwise the mother can pound the sand.
