If you have stamps of entering foreign countries together when travelling - it could be added. I submitted that as evidence (asked by lawyer). May be an overkill, but remember the instructions in I-751 ask to provide as much evidence as possible. I (and my lawyer) interpeted it this very conservatively and literally.

Photos should be annotated for two reasons: 1) Photos should span through months and years to show how life together evolved. If there are no dates in caption, how can one tell when where they taken? Maybe they were taken few days apart, which is not good enough evidence. 2) Photos should have captions of people on them. Photos of just two of you are worthless. Photos with family and friends can contain 3-10 people in each of them. Person reviewing the case may have never seen you or your spouse. If they cannot tell who's on photos and what's the relationship - those photos are worthless. Summary: photos are the least important evidence. But if you do send them, make sure to include photos spanning months and years, only send photos including other people, and make sure to annotate them. Photos without descriptions are of no value. Done that for my AOS, ROC as advised by lawyer. Both approved promptly without RFEs P.S. I wouldn't personally send social media stuff. Some couples may benefit, but the gain is small.

Authorized users is good, as you're effectively sharing the card and debts. What about joint lease and joint bank checking / savings accounts? Do you file taxes jointly too?

I don't have exact information. I think lawyers specializing in Mandamus (Hacking et al) cite the clause in the law which is says something like "case should be decided in reasonable amount of time". I think published processing times are not legally binding, but the law is open to interpretation, and lawyers claim anything over 12 months is unreasonable. The idea is, USCIS doesn't want to burden IJ as they're too busy, so they decide on case. I'd love to hear from @igoyougoduke

You can cancel, but then would have to start form scratch (more years of wait). Sorry to hear about your health, can you not make it to the interview due to health reasons?

Prepare an errata sheet with all the corrections and bring to N-400 interview. Interview is a chance to fix any mistakes / typos.

Agreed, WoM should include decision on I-751 too

Online status means nothing. It's very common for it to be out of date' With n-600 in hand and US passport, there's nothing to be worried about as far as I know. I would think online status is not the same as internal USCIS database.

You absolutely need to go with your husband. If he had I-751 approved and applied under 5 year rule - then you wouldn't need to go. But any of these: - Pending I-751 - N-400 under 3 year rule And especially when both are true, requires US citizen to go with immigrant to the interview.

Thank you for trying it out and posting result here. Man, that makes me want to use the personal check again when I file the next form...

Wife should be more active about her immigration and manage cases herself. You can offer help / oversee the process.

Yes, I attended AOS interview. Before the pandemic, everybody was required to go through interview to get GC. Right now this can happen for multiple reasons: either your case is weaker, or you were randomly selected. It's just like security at an airport, sometimes you have to go through additional scanning. Good luck, make sure to prepare for the interview well, know your case, know your spouse and practice answering questions with the spouse. It's rather a good sign that your case is moving.

Did you receive letter in the mail confirming new biometric appointment? If not, it's not much different to just walking in to ASC and asking to get biometrics done earlier. People on VJ do it all the time. Also, be very careful about any replies from online agents, they often give incorrect information.

Use it as normal green card. No need for AP. Just valid GC and valid passport plus any visas / eTA paperwork if required by destination. Once you file I-751, you'll have to carry GC and extension letter.

You can sue USCIS for decision 120 after the interview, as allowed by law. Either you can do it yourself or hire lawyer to file Writ Of Mandamus (lawsuit)

Is he changing name? Which field office?

As long as you are a US citizen she can stay and refile another AOS packet with right evidence.

Great news! So my 4-6 weeks estimate to get receipt is still pretty accurate

In time for retirement? 😅 I never thought about sponsoring my siblings, firstly because they never expressed interest in living in the US. They have well established lives overseas. Secondly, I'm not eligible as LPR. If one of them ever asks I'd want to see their reaction to the 30+ years wait perspective 😃

I guess they're trying to revoke it on a basis it was issued "in mistake" making OP reprove everything, which is more and more difficult as time passes. N-600 is always worth its filing fee IMHO.

Yes, she can petition her sister. The sister will have to wait for 20+ years before she can come though.

Opinion only / my speculation I agree this is silly. I think DOS is proactively trying to cut the US citizens who: - Do not live / never lived in the US for extended periods of time AND / OR - Do not pay taxes from overseas I can see how these people maybe perceived as "unnecessary burden" (sorry about the term used) by the government. Passport fees don't cover the cost of replacing their passports, providing consular support in various matters. Also, some of them may petition other people who'd live very small portion of their lives in the US and use US passport as a fancy travel document only e.g. cost US more $$$. I know there are requirements to be able to sponsor somebody (domicile) or transfer citizenship (living in the US 5+ years for CRBA etc). It's just pragmatic move by US to reduce the cost of such citizens. I do not agree with this approach, just stating my thoughts around it. Plus don't forget the security aspect of it all. If somebody never lived in the US, can they be a security threat? E.g. hired by foreign intelligence and come into the US freely as a citizen, since no need to go through process of obtaining visas etc. I'm sorry OP is caught in all of this. I hope this gets resolved soon for their kid. By no any means I blame OP, I think it's a somewhat rare and unfortunate situation. It's a reminder to always get certificate of citizenship.

Exactly, I-130 is a bell that cannot be unrung plus @ninjaspinji could not adjust anyways?

Sounds like a plan. Maintain your status and marry your GF when the time comes.
