    No, I-129F and I-130 take about the same time to get approved nowadays. Few years ago, yes, fiance cases were faster. Check processing times. Below there are screenshots taken just now for proof. 0.5 months difference can be ignored as each case is individual and can take few months shorter or longer, whether it's I-129F or I-130. And most importantly, once immigrant enters with immigrant visa, they can work, travel and feel much more free compared to being stuck in AOS process for another year or so.

    Agreed, but fingerprints checked at appointment at field office is not the same as biometrics appointment.

    I corrected my message. Tax return transcripts contain lines about state taxes, just checked my transcripts. I went through I-751 and got it approved without RFE. Tax return transcripts is all you need. They actually prove your filing was accepted and processed by IRS.

    Those is all you need for immigration

    Not sure what you mean? You should be able to download the tax return transcripts as PDF documents and print them out from IRS website. I don't believe you need to submit any requests.

    Go to IRS.gov. Download tax return transcripts. They're much shorter, like 3-5 pages. They're preferred by USCIS.

    N-600 is super useful in the future. Your step daughter may be asked for certificate 30 years later applying for a job at US government, renewing passport or trying to get a benefit from SSA. The more time passes, the more difficult it is for her to reprove how she became a citizen, especially when neither you or your wife are still around. Having the certificate will make her life so much easier. You can wait a few years before getting it, but don't ignore it, that's my advice.

    Many who recently submitted biometrics for other applications get them reused. At the same time, some get randomly selected just like passengers going through security at an airport.

    Good luck! If he applies under 3 year rule, your presence in the building is very beneficial. My spouse never attended biometrics appointment with me, that's not required. But interviews - yes.

    Don't overthink this. Just show up to the interview. I think you would've been better without filing FOIA, but the last thing you want is to introduce another change in your case. ~ Not a legal advice ~

    As long as you can prove it was under 180 days and you maintained ties to US (lease, banks) - there is no problem.

    You may want to consult with a lawyer. Based on what I understand so far, the kids are NOT US citizens and you need to file I-130 petitions for each of them. That will give them immigration visas to come to the US and get green cards .

    No it's not mandatory with initial submission, but it proves good moral chatacter and may speed up approval.

    1.5-2 years

    Were the kids born when you were a citizen for over 2 years already?
  16. OldUser
    Have you been a US citizen for 5+ years and lived in the US for 5+ years? If yes to both, the kids may be US citizens by birth. You may need to register their birth in US embassy (CRBA)

    Congratulations! N-400 are processed pretty quickly nowadays. It depends on local field office. Check here - https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

    Congratulations! This is what I mean when I advise applying for I-131 and I-765 for people on K-1 (I know your case is different). People think AOS takes 6-9 months, when in reality it can take forever like with your MIL

    Nice, problem solved 😊

    The timeline estimate is a random number. Nothing to worry about.

    Are you including the child in your I-751 petition? If yes, only one G-1145 is needed. Two G-1145 will likely confuse the USCIS. Half of the time those notifications don't even work.

    The thing is, they're unlikely going to bend the rules if one of their online agents tells you something but the staff on the ground disagrees. The online agents cannot be held accountable. That chat reminded me of chat with USCIS agents. They'll tell you anything to disconnect ASAP and move to next person. You can try bringing printouts and the carrier guide. If you make enough noise maybe they'll let your wife board the plane. But don't get banned by a major airline over trip to Cancun. Good luck!

    Ideally you should try getting the certificate if you can. It is a super important document to have in your life besides immigration and USCIS. I think you should be fine if the other document is accepted by USCIS according to the table. But as you know, sometimes USCIS denies cases wrongfully and you have to convince them to follow the law. The path of least resistance is to get what they want.

    So were the children included in their mother's I-751 or they have their own pending I-751 cases? There were boxes on I-751 to indicate whether they're applying with mother or separately.

    In a way, Mexico is a nice treat after receiving 10 year GC 😃
