    Be careful with any of these estimates. There's a chance you may still be asked to attend interview and it may take longer than 4 weeks. Keep us updated!

    Could've filed all forms together for simplicity. I hope you mean I-485? Never heard of form I-486. When you submitted I-485, did you include copy of receipt for I-130? Good luck!

    I don't believe pregnancy gives you any immunity from this. Also, usually it takes months before somebody is actually ordered removed, so you'd already given birth by that time. I'm sorry you're going through this. I can see your husband's point filing with a lawyer but the timing is tight... When you go on that call make sure to raise your concerns with lawyer. I'd want to get reassurance from them they'd jump on your case immediately. Meanwhile, did you get all evidence collected for AOS? Maybe you can scan it, organize it before meeting lawyer. You can also draft responses on forms and go with a lawyer through answers.

    Unsolicited clarification from me (I hope you don't mind). It's the easiest if immigration history is straightforward. If the history is complicated, N-400 process can quickly become the hardest part of the journey.

    The child needs their own AOS packet and all the fees paid.

    It's OK, sometimes officer cannot approve and requires review by their manager.

    If you haven't moved, no need to file AR-11

    Not sure why you're confused? As stated earlier in the thread, there's no right to US visa. It's discretionary. DHS doesn't want you to visit the US based on your travel to other places. It's possible you'll get the visa in the end, but I think the chances of success are minimal.

    Maybe a lawyer can help? It's a crucial document. No certificate in most cases means no immigrant visa

    Good point, I missed the fact it was filed by LPR not US citizen. @GinaCarterWebster there's probably 0.1% chance the kid will come this December. It will be several years...

    Hi, don't believe estimated processing times in your account. They're very inaccurate. It takes about a year for I-130 to be approved. Then you need to factor possible delays by embassy scheduling visa interview after filing DS-260. This can easily add a few months on top. It would be a true Christmas miracle if it somehow works for you and the child comes to the US this December. I'd be expecting more like August-October of 2025. Good luck!

    That's how I-131 (Advance Parole) should really work. It is approved while you wait for I-485 approval (GC). Once GC is approved, you no longer need Advance Parole to travel. But recently process didn't work correctly with many people never receiving Advance Parole and just waiting for GC.

    Sue after 120 days for decision

    How were you eligible to file N-400 in 2019? Are you absolutely sure USCIS is not giving you a favor by not inquiring more into your past immigration history? There's few issues @Family identified. Depending on your circumstances, you may need to withdraw N-400 and never attempt naturalizing again, being thankful you're not played in removal proceedings.

    Yes, it is a problem. Amend taxes, you should be Married Filing Separately.

    While I understand your fear of dealing with ex, in reality you don't have to contact your ex. You have to hire a family lawyer and communicate with ex exclusively through lawyer. This is what they're paid for. What's really scary is the fact you're still married to the person who can harm you. If you live in community property state like California, your ex may be opening new credit cards or getting big loans. And you'll be liable for those! That's a really scary part. Or if they get extra tax benefits by providing false information to IRS on your behalf. You should really seek divorce, there's nothing good about being married to abuser.

    Reading Visa Journey on a daily basis. People are complaining about their packets not being processed for 1.5 - 2 months. This all began since end of March, right before the new fees were introduced.
  18. OldUser
    No need to modify evidence. Just upload it. To confirm: are you filing under 3 year rule based on marriage to US citizen?
  19. OldUser
    That's right. It takes about 1.5 months for them just to open the packet, scan it into system and create new case

    I think it's location dependent? Which enrollment center is the closest to you?

    EAD is Employment Authorization Document. Obtained by filing form I-765. AOS can take a year or so in some cases. EAD may be sent to you within the first 3-6 months of waiting. The card allows you to get SSN, get state ID or Driver's License, get employed, open bank account etc etc
  22. OldUser
    Good to know, thank you

    Small banks may put zeroes in place of your SSN until you get the actual number. But generally, no SSN - no bank account. Did you apply for EAD? Once you have it, you can get SSN from Social Security Administration

    1) You can always keep UK account if you want / need. Or downgrade to an account without service fees. Unless you really don't want to keep it. 2) Did you check boxes on forms to receive SS card? Documentation days up to 6 weeks after entering: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/immigrant-visa-for-spouse.html#18 If you don't want to wait this long / it's been passed this point you can always go to Social Security Administration and get it there
