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!

I guess if the estate being split is worth it... Good luck and let us know how it goes!

You don't have to use the same lawyer

Elections may shake up things when it comes to passports and immigration. I'd apply for non-urgent passport if I was you. With 10 years validity, it's OK at least to me to "lose" 6-12 months that I didn't travel

It's great evidence. I'm an Amex user myself. You will see authorized user on statement when the card is used. For months when there are no charges on authorized user card, you won't see their name on statement.

You need to include credit card statements. If you use the authorized user card, it will show on the statement. I'd recommend also opening joint savings and checking accounts. These are more useful and easier to read than statements for authorized users on credit cards. If you don't like fees, you can open free accounts with Discover, Amex, Capital One and others.

Sorry to hear about this. You need divorce decree. If you apply under 5 year rule and don't typically need marital evidence. Keep this evidence and evidence of cheating with you just in case.

Whoever fails civics or language portion of the test has another attempt without filing new N-400. Another question is whether one can jump from zero to hero in few weeks...

Congrats! Many people get worried about status not being updated. Your case is a prime example of online status not being that important. USCIS handles the case whenever they get to it, with or without status updates leading to that. If you use USPS Informed Delivery, watch for letter from Lee's Summit Production Facility. It shows tracking before USCIS posts tracking info in their status.

Agents give false info all the time. 2 and 3 are logical. You have California Service Center. Green Cards and extension letters are physically produced at Lee's Summit Production facility. When your GC will be approved, that address is going to send your GC too.

You're not providing and you're not expected to provide child support for a kid while you're in a marriage living with both spouse and the kid.

By the way, if you have USPS Informed Delivery, you'll see letter from Lee's Summit Production Facility. This is your GC. You may see tracking there days before tracking will be posted in your USCIS status.

If you search the forum, you'd see this question popping from time to time. AFAIK nobody had issue entering on old GC and extension letter. At least nobody reported issues. All replies were success stories.

Do you get tax refunds? If yes, do they just go into your account? How do you file taxes? Married Filing Separately or Married Filing Jointly?

AFAIK there is no rule forbidding somebody to keep 2 GCs at a time. In fact, many do keep two cards due to conditional card and permanent GC. I removed my conditions on GC, and still have expired GC + extension letter extending its validity. OP can return GC during naturalization or next GC renewal, but I am not aware of requirements to return second GC. As long as OP doesn't lend it, sell it or misuse it, it's just another proof of status.

There shouldn't be. US citizens can enter the US without special procedures AFAIK.

You should only carry the one with May 2034 expiration. You can apply for renewal 6 months before in expires, unless the rules change in the future. As to the second card, you can either keep it in a safe place just in case or send back to USCIS with letter explaining in detail why you don't need it. The address is on the card.

This is a very interesting story. Does the "Resident Since" date match on both cards? If yes, I'd say GC based on approval of ROC is the correct one (expiring May 2034). The one that came later based on I-90 is not correct. USCIS should have not given you 10 year GC when you requested correction to 2 year GC. None of this matters much if you Resident Since date is correct and match on both cards and if you apply for citizenship before they expire.

In general, joint accounts for common expenses make a lot of sense, even with immigration out of picture. With bills and rent / mortgage being biggest expenses in most families, it just gives a good overall picture where the money goes... How do you file taxes @ram1009 and which account do you get tax refund to (if you get any)?

Good luck! Do they perform oath on the beach? That would be so cool 😃

If she's inside the US, photos are not required. She may need to attend biometrics appointment though.

For #1, Just update address online now, it's a 2 minute task for AR-11. Sending letter for I-865 takes a bit more effort, but again if you have stamp and envelope at home, just print out form, fill it and post today. It's a 20-30 minute task. This way you both did what you're required to do. Better late than never.
