  1. The estimates is a random number. You can get approval on Monday or you can keep waiting.
  2. Normal. It can take months before you get EAD / AP (if you filed). Or silence for another 6-9 months, then either decision on the case, RFE or interview notice.
  3. For immigration you have to disclose it even if your record is sealed, expunged etc etc. You'll always have to tell about it.
  4. This is normal. You should receive GC soon. Typically, you first receive approval letter which tells you not to travel without new GC and 2-3 weeks later you should get GC itself.
  5. Are you applying under 5 year rule? If yes, and you don't have a pending I-751, then you don't need to upload bank statements at all. Only tax return transcripts for the last 5 years, front and back of GC etc etc. On the other hand, if you're applying under 3 year rule, then submit as much evidence or bonafide marriage including bank statements, utility bills etc. In this case building a strong case throwing every relevant evidence in application is a good thing.
  6. Not ideal, but hopefully they'll look through the packet and find the information they need.
  7. How reliable is this? Do they get confirmation in form of letter etc?
  8. No need to apologize, we're all learning from this discussion which may help somebody reading VJ in the future. As long as she never had marriages in the US, she's fine. Otherwise all her US marriages are void.
  9. Congratulations! Time to celebrate 😊😊😊
  10. That's amazing, congratulations! I hope this becomes a norm. I hope it's not a sneaky move to cut processing times statistics by working on new cases and abandoning old. Oh wait, I must have seen this movie before 😃
  11. She can file AR-11 any time online in 5 minutes and get instant confirmation. Technically she can do it before or after N-400, it doesn't matter. But I'd do before. Also, if she already lives in the state for over 3 months, she doesn't need to wait for 3 months after filing AR-11. Residency is not proved by filing AR-11. It's proved by having utility bills, driver's license with correct address, taxes filed in the state. Does she have all that?
  12. It's just an online status. I bet if you file FOIA, you'll find I-751 was approved.
  13. Administrative Processing doesn't have exact timeline. It can be days, it can be weeks or months. Nobody can predict.
  14. I-797 is the receipt and extension. It's the same document .
  15. Not for this section, but in general he should attach all the bonafide marriage evidence for his N-400 based on marriage: joint taxes, joint account bank statements etc etc
  16. Does she have anything proving the abuse? Did she report to police, have witness, speak to a therapist or at least go to shelter? So far she gave USCIS all the reasons to believe the marriage was for immigration benefit: little joint evidence and they crumbled when a little pressure was put on them. In my opinion she must go to the second interview with or without spouse. And she can ask for WAVA, but she must have solid proof otherwise she may get accused of fraud.
  17. I was under impression I-130 can be delayed indefinitely as long as you keep in touch once a year as @Crazy Cat mentioned?
  18. I see. Well, you're almost at the finish line, so congratulations! Hopefully you won't need it, but you can sue USCIS for decision (Writ of Mandamus) after 60 days past your interview.
  19. Because each stage is an opportunity to scrutinize immigration history. It's designed that way. And N-400 is the hardest one really, despite what everybody say. It's the biggest immigration benefit that USCIS can give and won't be able to revoke easily. Treat each interview as if you started from scratch. Don't assume because something was approved before it will be approved easily now.
  20. Awesome! Great that you came prepared and convinced the officer your marriage is legitimate. How close were you to be eligible under 5 years rule and would you pick that route knowing what you know now?
  21. It is generic language. If it doesn't apply to you, there's nothing to bring.
