    Personal check is the king...

    Another option is to keep using maiden name until N-400 stage. That way you don't have to worry about your name on green card not matching your name in passport. On the other hand, if you intend using married name, might as well get all US documents in this new name instead of having to update everything. You can start using married name today as @Crazy Cat described.

    Yes, you need to file I-130. I-130 is to confirm relationship between US citizen and their foreign spouse. Same goes for kids. So you need 3 x I-130 and 3 x I-485 at a minimum. Ideally they should also get I-131 and I-765 each. Depending on fees you may skip those if comfortable. You also need I-864 for each, I-693 for each. AFAIK, U4U is not considered refugee and cannot get fees waived, but others can correct me.

    Congratulations! Can't believe they actually worked on federal holiday 😊

    The answer "no" may result you being accused of misrepresentation and cause inadmissability

    Estimates are just estimates. They cannot predict things 100%

    Yes, people get it all the time, especially if I-751 was pending. Did you have I-751 pending prior to N-400 interview?

    Wow that was a while. Thanks for updating us!

    They're just random numbers.

    Just read threads here: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/131-adjustment-of-status-case-filing-and-progress-reports/ 3-4 times a week somebody posts about not getting their receipt a month or more after filing.

    Lately it takes 1.5 - 2 months for USCIS to open packet and create a case.

    Resident since date + 3 years minus 90 days. This is the earliest date you can file. You don't have to wait extra 2 months to offset your 2 months of travel outside of the US.

    10 months in different state with no clear timeline of coming back to address in Florida. There's nothing more permanent than temporary in this world. I cannot agree with recommendation to use Florida address. @Roms2019 is probably a tax resident of Texas by now with over 183 days living there. IMHO it's an easy denial by USCIS saying the applicant didn't reside in the state in the last 90 days...

    Hold long ago did you lose your job? How long ago did you move to friend's address? How long are you planning staying there? You need to update address within 10 days of moving. If you're actually moved to a new address and not temporarily visiting, you should not use your old address for applying for N-400. It will get denied if you don't actually reside there.

    My USC wife changed her last name before I went through AOS. She used married name on forms. You use your current legal name, whatever it is.

    I-797, NOA, NOA1, Notice of Action, Extension Letter, Receipt - it's all the same document people call different names. You'll need it + valid passport (typically 6 months or more plus 2 or more empty pages) + Green Card (original) + Extension Letter (original, valid)

    Duuuuuuuude 😃 Congrats!

    Most importantly, was your wife asked about @Crazy Cat and @OldUser and why you talk to them on VJ? 😃

    "Soft" stokes?

    Worst case you can sue USCIA for decision after 120 days since interview @Shercook27 @mattguk

    I'd just pay to be safe. How many pages are you translating? 2-3 pages of birth certificate would only cost you $50-75 to translate. That's a very small cost compared to delayes caused by translation not being accepted. Here's data point from somebody who thinks self-translation was a cause for RFE.

    Did you pay the fee?

    Why doesn't he have a GC? Did you pay immigrant fee for him to receive green card after entry? Does he have endorsed immigrant visa in his passport? Is it still valid? Why do you think he's a citizen, did you naturalize or something else?

    Consult with a lawyer if in doubt.
