    Logically two I-130 means two I-864. They're different petitions and can be evaluated independently. Are you sponsoring just the children? If you're sponsoring your spouse and two minor stepchildren (their biological children), it would be 1 x I-130 and 1 x I-864. Please clarify? It's not clear what your situation is. How old are children, are they biological children of your spouse, are you inside or outside of the US etc.

    Up to you. If you want high chance of success, tax returns should be brought to interview. I don't understand why this is such a deal. It only takes a few minutes to download them from IRS website and print them out. There's a chance your husband won't be asked for them. There's also a chance he will be asked. If you want the interview and case to go smoothly, have them ready. It's in the evidence list for N-400.

    Thank you for valuable insights. Your timeline contradicts one lawyer's reassurance that N-400 in SF take 5-6 months and are walk in the park. The reality seems to be close to what you're experiencing. Good luck and wishing you a fast approval!

    I think neither DHS nor USCIS is going to like the fact you never did masters you got your F1 visa for. Language school is always suspicious in this situation. You may have issues reentering US and or adjusting status. You not having funds to study hurts your case and doesn't make it any strong.

    Unless it's difficult to renew foreign passport from the US, I'd just send current one. The sooner the immigrant enters, the better in my opinion. 18 months is plenty of time. If it had less than 8 months, then I'd renew it instantly. It also depends on how long it takes to renew it. If 7-10 days, maybe it's worth doing now. If weeks or months, maybe not.
  7. OldUser
    Potentially.

    No breaks in employment at all? You cannot just make up things on USCIS immigration forms, this causes troubles down the line. If unsure, file FOIA today, get all of his immigration files within few months.

    Also file I-765 if you haven't. It's free with I-485. Even if there are no plans of using it for employment, it's worth having options. It also can act as ID for the banks, DMV etc.

    Even if denied, only immigration judge can take somebody's LPR status away. Unless LPR gives up status voluntarily. Even with denied petition, a CBP should let the LPR into the US. Of course, it's best not to travel in those situations.

    Certain immigration officers need review from supervisor to approve the case. It's normal. We see a lot of "decision cannot be made" posts in Naturalization forums. There's even threads you can find. It's more of an exception to get both I-751 and N-400 to be approved on the spot nowadays than it is a rule.
  12. OldUser
    Couldn't agree more

    This is pretty normal, it's called "combo" interview. Anybody with pending I-751 and N-400 should be prepared to do them together, and bring their US citizen spouse. N-400 cannot be approved without I-751. It's good that you had both interviews. Sometimes people get both I-751 and N-400 approved on the spot, but lately there's a lot of "decision cannot be made" stories. You should get your cases approved eventually.

    I thought this question is about EAD, not GC? I-90 is for GC AFAIK.

    You just wait... If you have a valid DL / state ID and unrestricted social security card - that's all you need in everyday's life. If you need to travel overseas, yes, you cannot travel with expired card only, need extension letter. Why didn't you file when your 90 day window opened?
  16. OldUser
    NOA can take 6 weeks to arrive after filing.

    Call USCIS, ask for InfoPass. Sometimes you need to call them a lot. The sooner you start, the better. Say you don't have a proof of status as of today... You will either get a stamp in passport or this document:

    You're going to be OK with copy of I-90 and quick explanation in cover letter. Most of the times it should work. Just don't file on the first day of ROC window, maybe on second or third to avoid early filing rejection.

    If @Sara0101 made copies of her conditional GC (which is always a good practice when recieving any document from USCIS), those can be included. If no copies available, probably need to explain in cover letter.
  20. OldUser
    @Sara0101 2 month decision for I-90 is not guaranteed. Sometimes it takes over a year. USCIS is unlikely going to print a card with few days / weeks of validity and definitely not going to print expired GC. They cannot simply change expiration date on conditional GC. File I-751 and include I-90 in it. That's the right course of action.
  21. OldUser
    You don't have physical GC to extend. Extension letter needs to be accompanied with expired GC to be worth anything. Since you have a I-90 now, I would encourage you to request a free ADIT (I-551) stamp. You get this stamp on passport or separate document, and will be proof of your status for a year. I know it's counter intuitive, but you're unlikely going to receive replacement conditional GC. And you have an annoying prospect of renewing ADIT stamp every year until I-751 is approved.
  22. OldUser
    No, the expiration would not be any different. Just because you lost a conditional GC or it got stolen, USCIS is not going to give you other expiration date. USCIS is not going to exempt you from filing ROC either. You can and should apply for I-751 as soon as you become eligible. It's OK if you don't have a physical green card when you apply for I-751. The most likely outcome is: * You file I-751 with I-90 receipt attached * Your I-90 gets eventually denied * You get decision on I-751

    Yes, if on the day the green card is issued, the marriage is over 2 years, beneficiary gets a 10 year green card and doesn't need to go through ROC.
