    However, OP had 6 weeks of not living together. Based on officer, this may be intepreted as break in marital union, thus not meeting conditions for naturalizing under 3 year rule. See the case attached above where somebody was denied.

    It is what it is, you can't hide it. It's important that you have evidence of spending time together and solid plan of how you'd live together once she finishes J-1

    All the information should be as of time you file forms, not as of future. So her current address is her current address, not where she'd live with you in the future. Same goes to household size. This depends on your taxes. Typically the size is you + any dependants you claim on tax forms + immigrant you're sponsoring

    Congrats! This is amazing, means they're aware of both pending cases

    I don't think you filed I-485 online. Even today, this is not available.

    You can try using account #1 or create account #3

    Good luck!

    Fair enough. Let's see what OP says. I just don't see how one can enter and become LPR, unless they were on immigrant visa. AOS takes time.

    From what OP posted, spousal visa was the route.

    I'd interpret rules strictly and apply for citizenship after 3 year anniversary of living together in the US. This typically means no 90 day early filing. Example of denied case

    Sorry about that experience! I only had hold ups due to pending I-751, but nothing else described

    Sounds like a plan! There's really no rush to update SSA, I did it after receiving passport. But needs to be done.
  13. OldUser
    Congrats!
  14. OldUser
    That's true, no walk ins in most places. I'd get passport first. This is what I did personally. Here is my experience updating status with SSA:

    Congrats! Remember to update status with SSA

    Oh man, I love the Keys. Been there few times. Such a lovely place. Jealous of you! Have fun

    Sorry @MAX_Q I made a mistake. 4 years and 1 day from that long trip would be some time in March 2026, not September 2026.

    At USCIS nobody cares about circumstances and reasons, they need her to meet the criteria to be approved. She'll meet this criteria 4 years and 1 day after returning to the US after long trip.
  19. OldUser
    There's no such requirement. The requirement is residing in the US.
  20. OldUser
    She can file under 5 year rule. There's 4 year and 1 day exception. Meaning after 4 years and 1 day after she returned from long trip, she could try naturalizing: "An applicant applying for naturalization under INA 316, which requires 5 years of continuous residence, must then wait at least 4 years and 1 day after returning to the United States (whenever 364 days or less of the absence remains within the statutory period), to have the requisite continuous residence to apply for naturalization.[21] The statutory period preceding the filing of the application is calculated from the date of filing."

    LPRs and citizens have exact same tax obligations
  22. OldUser
    Other than adding to USCIS backlog

    Well, you don't want to fabricate lease now that didn't exist back then. It would be fraud. You would have to convince the officer. Your son living there is a plus, but you yourself didn't have lease or job, which goes against your case claiming you maintained residence. You can always try, maybe you'll be lucky.

    You can reapply as soon as you will be eligible. No other penalties other than losing fees.

    Yes, you can use your parents' address for now. But in about a year (at NVC step) you'll have to reestablish US domicile or at least show the intent. Without it, visa won't be granted. The point of spousal visa is reuniting. E.g. US citizen lives in the US and foreign spouse lives overseas. If they both live abroad, they're united already and don't need visa. Reestablishing domicile includes getting lease or arranging living situation otherwise, registering to vote, getting ID with US address, library card, bank accounts, job offer etc.
