  1. I also hesitated putting date on extension letter when I was in similar situation, but apparently this is OK and everybody does it.
  2. Case is being actively reviewed is typically a status to fill the gap when nothing is happening. It's normal.
  3. No downside to front loading your application with all evidence.
  4. If you remember it was 15 years ago than you can calculate the year? Maybe it's a request to NYPD to get your entire records if any?
  5. Nothing like this. Make sure to attach joint tax return trascripts though for evidence of bonafide marriage
  6. +1 EAD will pay itself off by any job quickly. AP is insurance. Imagine if family back in home country gets very sick. AOS is already very restrictive and can affect psyche and relationships. Make sure to at least have some flexibility. The cost of living in the US may be higher than in Europe. There's also fewer free resources available and not much safety net. EAD is a must IMHO
  7. See the Adjustment of status guide on this website. In a nutshell: But I'd file everything on paper instead of splitting I-130 and other forms.
  8. Estimates are random numbers, unfortunately
  9. Most of I-751s take give or take 2 years. If you desire and eligible to apply for N-400 you can.
  10. Yes, if filing under 3 year rule
  11. Typically it would take a few months according to what I've read in VJ threads. I don't have data to support it though.
  12. Adjustment of status and consular processing are two different routes of getting green card. Adjustment of status is only for people who are already in the US and have visa available. Consular processing is for people outside of the US. Since your parents are outside of the US they cannot adjust status, they can go through consular processing route. That route doesn't have I-485, I-131 and I-765 forms.
  13. Fantastic, congratulations! Any chance you could share your case number with for I-485, excluding the last 5 digits? This would give an idea of what USCIS is processing now without comproming your privacy.
  14. For consular processing you do not need I-485, nor I-131 / I-765 You certainly need I-130 and I-864. There may be few other forms for which you can follow Spousal Visa (CR-1) guide on VJ. The forms are going to be pretty much the same.
  15. Yes, it's possible for them. But immigrant visa might be easier for them. AOS means they cannot leave the US for 6-18 months (depending how long GC takes and whether Advance Parole is approved and when). Also it only works if they're in the US already. They cannot come with intent of adjusting as this is fraud.
  16. No, the spouse should be OK. She's an LPR and your employer or you has nothing to do with her naturalization anymore.
  17. Didn't realize OP already had interview and approval. Cannot naturalize under 3 year rule.
  18. If you filed for N-400 under 3 year rule, based on marriage you won't be able to naturalize with divorce. You need to withdraw the N-400, also convert I-751 to divorce waiver. If filed under 5 year rule, you may be able to continue, but you'd have to convert I-751 petition to divorce waiver and get it approved first.
  19. Those numbers are random and don't mean much. Good luck!
  20. Yes, I-485 doesn't belong to US citizen spouse, it's an immigrant's case. Same for I-765, I-131, I-751 (if needed) and N-400. The only forms US citizen spouse should be responsible for is I-130 and I-864
  21. Yes, include his name. Include her name. You need to interpret questions literally. It doesn't give you any instructions to skip if name is on other application etc.
  22. As a wild theory, USCIS reviewed entire immigration history when you applied for I-90 and once it was approved, it unlocked N-400.
  23. Make sure to show up to the first morning appointment no matter what. It's best to be there early than to skip it and discover it was indeed for you at N-400 interview.
  24. @Crazy Cat and others who had it would disagree. It does exist and it does happen. 100% agree with this.
