    Another option for @FROWNcat if DL is valid for a while is just to apply for a passport card and carry together with DL in wallet. Fees should be similar. Passport card definitely proves citizenship and is more versatile than DL for travel other than proving you can drive. Another benefit of passport card it's valid for 10 years, and DL usually for 5.

    Very good point. Correction after checking wallet with old IDs. I did have regular DL when I was on work visa. But once I became conditional LPR, I applied for Real ID and have been applying for Real IDs since then. Thankfully, never had any issues getting it.

    Sorry you had to go through this. I had no issue whatsoever applying for Real ID on work visa (not even as LPR). I'm in California too.

    Technically, you can, but not very desirable. Even when I travelled with my wife, I got asked how often we travel together etc upon entry to the US. You may be held in secondary when reentering the US. What I don't see in your evidence list is proof of living together. Did you have joint lease?
  5. OldUser
    Yes, but you still need to file with divorce waiver and be ready to respond to RFE asking for divorce certificate in the future. That would take at least several months, maybe even a year until you get this request.

    Yes No

    I-129F belongs to US citizen. I-485 belongs to immigrant. US citizen should have their own USCIS account. Immigrant should have their own USCIS acccount. Moving forward, any new petitions / applications, such as I-485, I-765, I-131, I-751, N-400 belong to immigrant and should be added to immigrant's account, not US citizen's account

    There's no I1751. There's I-751. My answer is still the same. Have: - GC - I-751 extension letter (I-797) - Passport - Marriage certificate This ensures you can travel anywhere you want (as long as you don't need visa) and safely return to the US. Good luck!

    Give it few days. Could be a real or "ghost" update. I doubt you'd get approval so quickly. These cases take many months.

    Congrats! Thanks for the update!

    You mean BMV, right? Because there's no DMV in Ohio as per my search.
  12. OldUser
    Found it... "Ohio has begun placing “noncitizen” labels on the driver’s licenses and state IDs of those who lack citizenship — a move that may be the first in the nation." https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/2023/04/13/ohio-driver-licenses-now-have-noncitizen-notations-per-election-law/70104226007/ Yeah... This one I'd push back and try to renew with BMV. Maybe speak to different employee or manager. If you became a citizen, DL shouldn't say "NONCITIZEN".
  13. OldUser
    Not bad! Congrats!

    I have DL from California. Nowhere on the front or back of it lists citizenship status. It looks identical from the time I was on work visa until now (last time renewed as LPR). AFAIK it looks the same even for undocumented. If "in the back of it" is SAVE database, then common way to update it (if I'm correct) is through visit to SSA which I described here: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/830870-updating-citizenship-status-with-ssa-in-2025/

    Yes, $35 is paid on spot. I paid with credit card at USPS. More on fees here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/how-apply/fees.html

    This does not apply to many states. But certainly good thing to do for Texans
  17. OldUser
    Good luck!

    How do you know misrep was cleared? Did USCIS tell you this is writing?
  19. OldUser
    Awesome! What did you end up doing?
  20. OldUser
    There are free alternatives out there, so you don't have to pay any service. Even if you see progress of your case, no service can give you accurate estimate as to how long your case will take to get adjudicated, not even MyProgress on USCIS website itself. Where Visa Journey monthly threads shine is detail. Case trackers only give you dry statistics, but VJ users also share their personal experiences, specifics of their case and immigration history which often affects how quickly cases get processed. Good luck!

    I'd imagine you need a passport to enter foreign destinations or fly to cruise departure point? I'd think passport name is what you need to use. Then bring GC and marriage certificate to prove your name change.

    All children, in our out of wedlock should be listed.

    Adjustment of status doesn't apply for beneficiaries outside the US. They're consular processing

    Sadly it's normal timeline for I-90 nowadays
  25. OldUser
    Payment method doesn't relate to where you ship packet. Only depends on postal service you use. I'm avoiding question about address / details of money order because I never used it in my immigration process and cannot tell how to fill it. Only used personal checks all the way.
