  1. Everything is technically allowed, even filing I-864 with 0 income and no assets. But why would anybody do it. Same with primary residence
  2. Absolutely normal. 3 months is nothing
  3. Please share the details once you get the letter.
  4. The thing is, officer isn't a friend. I gave absolute "robotic" answers, giving bare minimum but to the point, and it wasn't an issue. My docs and evidence told the story. I thought of it as if it was a DMV or SSA appointment. I don't tell how I got my first car and how many miles I drove when renewing license. I came to USCIS for immigration benefit, not chat
  5. This is a natural thing to do, but can harm some applicants. I did my adjustment with a lawyer, and recommendation was to give short answers, stories was a big no-no. So the question how we met was answered in a short sentence: "we met at a conference". And this was enough and satisfactory. The problem with stories: 1) Officer doesn't have time to listen 2) When they do, they may use details against you! Or ask to elaborate on each point So unless they ask for long answer, general advice is to keep things short!
  6. Actually, this is smart. There's been instances when USCIS asked to browse petitioner's and beneficiary's phones at the interview in search of images, text etc that could harm the case
  7. It is just a proposal. If you apply now, most likely rules won't change mid process and you'd be grandfathered into current rules
  8. Return transcript. You can upload them to your N-400 case. I did that. Was never asked for transcripts at the interview, but had printed copies just in case
  9. I thought one can file early if divorce is finalized before I-751 filing deadline? Even if allowed to file now, I'd probably wait until dealine if divorce is not near completion. I wouldn't want to get RFE early personally. In states like California, separation is 6 months before couple can proceed with divorce.
  10. I'm not convinced you have a case for NIW, unfortunately. Especially if you don't know yourself what the endavor is. Depending on your country of birth, DV lottery may be an option to try.
  11. There's few people I know on E-2 employee visa, in their 20s. It's doable, but I'd say the chances get better with at least 5+ years of experience in the field
  12. It's possible. Most of the times, though, decision is already made before the interview.
  13. He could be trying to get E-2 as an essential employee, not investor. But it's hard (almost impossible) to pull off being a fresh colleague graduate, assuming OP got degree.
  14. E-2 is not just for investors. There's also essential employee category within this visa type. If OP is vital for business, for example posesses rare skills that cannot be found in the US, he doesn't need to invest millions.
  15. MM/YYYY: September 2025 Location: Hawaii, US Business / organization: Hotel Check type: Identity verification Reason: Checking in Result: Success Details: Used to check in to hotel I'm staying at for conference.
  16. Read the note for this question
  17. But what about rough patches? Does anything I mentioned above apply (police calls, separation, letters to USCIS from US citizen). If not, then it's just bad luck.
  18. It may be called "Registration number" on visa:
  19. Alien number. Printed on green card or visa.
  20. Sure, marriage needs to be bonafide and you need to live in marital union if you're seeking approval of jointly filed I-751 or N-400 based on marriage. Did your spouse or anybody call / wrote to USCIS saying bad things about you?
  21. I applied on 5 year rule, even through got GC through marriage. My I-751 was approved at the time I filed N-400 though. Nothing stops people from applying under 5 year rule if I-751 is still pending. In your case though, you could withdraw current N-400 and apply for new N-400 under 5 year rule. Maybe that will move things a bit, but no guarantees again. You don't want two N-400 applications pending. When you talk about rough patches in marriage, how severe? Did any of you move out? Were police called? Sometimes when USCIS suspect marriage won't last, they sit on case. But your delay may be totally unrelated
  22. Check at night too. Sometimes new appointments may be released at night, typically around 12am
