  1. Yes, you can absolutely sponsor your father for green card. He's an immediate relative of a US citizen and there's unlimited visas available for this category. File I-130, I-130A, I-485, I-693, I-864. Also optional I-765 and I-131. Sometimes, even with 40 work credits USCIS ignores it. So make sure to attach proof of 40 work credits, maybe a statement from SSA. You got it!
  2. Also consider all the costs associated with Adjustment of Status. Not only the fees are higher than consular processing, but also you'd have to pay for your significant other (food, clothing, bills, medical services etc)
  3. Letter isn't needed in my opinion. You can make a physical / digital copies and take with you. This is in case CBP ask whether you filed I-751. You'd have reference to it
  4. Just make sure you write somewhere down all the addresses you lived at (dates, addresses). Update it whenever you move. Same goes for international trips. Date you left US, date you came back and countries visited. You'll need this information for I-751 (addresses) and N-400 (addresses and trips)
  5. Online filing fee for I-130 is $625. This is enough to start a 18-24 months clock before beneficiary can come to the US. In most cases, lawyer isn't strictly required.
  6. Each case is a standalone case, two separate I-130. It's not unusual to get one parent approved, and the other pending.
  7. This is not exactly how it works. USCIS do background check, but they also expect you to do the legwork when it comes to criminal records. The burden of proof is on petitioner.
  8. Congratulations! It's better to have docs than not. Maybe you'd need it for something else.
  9. Here are the numbers https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p
  10. Anything related to Adam Walsh Act in your history?
  11. Did you have to do another medical exam in the US due to missing vaccines?
  12. No, there's typically a gap between biometrics and decision
  13. The question is, how long are you going for? If you're back before October 1, technically you don't need to carry extension letter.
  14. I'd say for N-400, most people submit new evidence since I-751 filing. It takes about a year after submitting I-751 when people become eligible to file N-400.
  15. But the forms haven't been updated yet, AFAIK. You're subject to rules under which you applied for N-400. Say tomorrow there's new N-400 form asking for social media handles. You won't be requested to file a new form.
  16. You can get some scrutiny because of that. Or you may be totally OK.
  17. If US citizen spouse is travelling with you? If yes, and you don't have crimimal charges and no prior overstays - you'll be OK
  18. Use your current address if this is where you have lease and planning to live for duration of AOS for both physical and mailing address. If you're not sure about moving, list current address as physical and parent's as mailing. List all addresses where you lived. Don't make USCIS think you live at address X when you live at address Y.
  19. I also suspect, those drive-thru oaths for hundreds during pandemic weren't administered by judges either.
  20. Not everywhere, especially if one keeps their current name. I was in a room at USCIS office with about 30-50 people. There was no judge in presence.
  21. This will likely take a while. Could be months. If you never provided divorce decree, you'll get RFE. These type of cases usually take time... Keep us posted!
