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.

My Progress is the best joke ever

I heard this before, I'm skeptical of this working.

I do not recall a particular case like this I'd remember, but it's not to say it's impossible.

In 2020, few weeks before Covid. I got the recent vaccinations to improve immunity as a couple of colleagues got sick with Covid recently.

Yes, it's possible.

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.

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.

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

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)

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)

No harm, but in many cases no benefit. If willing, why not?

What evidence did you submit in RFE reply? Did you send it using certified mail or shipping courier with proof of delivery? Uploading is optional, I don't see how it could hurt if you were to submit everything you sent by mail.

To OP: I wouldn't worry about old petition. I guess you got denial letter for that case? If yes, online status is irrelevant and is often out of date.

No it's not. If OP is married to US citizen they can apply for N-400 regardless on how they got GC. As long as they've been married to US citizen for 3 years and were a LPR for 3 years, they can do it. OP's mistake was applying 90 days based on LPR status, when they should have factored in later marriage to US citizen and calculate 3 years from that point.

You can try K-3 but AFAIK it'####### or miss and I'm not 100% convinced it wasn't a coincidence in rare occurences when it worked.

The biggest question is, where does the approval notice and GC would go according to G-28? If to lawyer, you must tell him to amend the G-28 to send docs to your address (if it's more reliable). G-28 doesn't have associated fees.

Hence questions about marriage. Some officers expect US citizen spouse to be in the waiting area when LPR goes through 3 year rule N-400 interview. You're lucky officer didn't start grilling you on marriage, I've seen this reported on VJ.

Yes scans of cards can be used though IMHI it's on weaker side of evidence (similar to joint costco membership etc). Without statements showing name it's hard to tell if AU uses the card at all. @Rekyrts can you please clarify how credit report shows whether you're an AU on somebody's account?

Congrats! Did you apply under 3 year rule?

I'd clarify: copy of I-130 receipt, not the original

It could help immigrant spouse credit score if they don't have a long history and US citizen spouse had a good credit score and history.

And as I mentioned, authorized user name only appears on statement if charges were made on authorized user card in that particular billing period @nikaM The name won't appear in the address portion, just in the statement body. For that reason, while this could be helpful it's not as great as joint credit card or joint checking / savings.

I see, it could be to do on how busy the office is.

While there is a possibility of interview being cancelled and case approved without one, I wouldn't count on it. Prior to COVID, everybody going through AOS had an interview. For me, it always helped to prepare for everything (yes there going to be biometrics, yes there going to be an interview, yes it's going to be stokes interview, yes my case is going to take years). Whenever the reality was more positive than the worst hypothetical scenario it gave me joy. Make sure to prepare for the interview. Bring updated evidence of bonafide marriage, talk to spouse about answering questions, watch videos and read materials on the internet explaining how to answer questions at the interview. My only question is, did you file AR-11, change of address when you moved? Is office show here for your address hours away? https://egov.uscis.gov/office-locator/ If AOS was undesired, CR1 visa was a better choice to make. Either way, you have a long road ahead, especially if you'd have I-751. Don't let it discourage you. We're all been there. You can do it. Good luck and keep us posted!
