    Those patronymics 😅 AFAIK Russian passports for international travel do not include patronymics, only first and last names. I would not include it on SSN etc. In all immigration forms I would disclose it under other names used and explain that it's patronymic. There is an argument patronymic is not a middle name. If country of origin does not include it in their documents issued in English, it should not be used for US immigration paperwork, only mention it exists. Makes life so much easier, than listening to long patronymic such as Viacheslavovna being read at the doctor's office when calling names for example 😃

    It doesn't. You either know or do not know the person, whether you are officially or unofficially related. You need to be truthful, otherwise it's fraud.

    Most of visit visas are denied. Denials for visitors from Pakistan is even higher than average. Add to that complicated family history and unusual family ties, it's almost guaranteed that no visa will be granted. Disclamer: this is my opinion only.

    By the way, you might be eligible to apply under 5 year rule sometime next year, I suspect. It requires fewer things to submit and you do not need to reprove marriage on the same level as for filing under 3 year rule.

    I don't believe it's legally required to bring your spouse when I-751 is approved, but it may help IO to decide on your case then and there.
  7. OldUser
    Always bring your spouse when naturalizing under 3 year rule. It's based on marriage after all.

    Out of curiosity, why would a Canadian bank be interested in your US taxpayer status? Do you use a Canadian bank account for income you earn in the US? Why wouldn't you open and use a US bank account for living in the US?

    First calendar quarter of a year. E.g. January 1 to March 31 of year.

    Generally, Canadians are allowed 6 months per visit. CBP has a discretion to reduce it / not allow the traveller into the US.

    Then it shouldn't be much of a problem, as far as I understand.

    @kotenya I wouldn't worry too much, WAC service center is already approving / sending RFEs for cases filed November 22nd 2021. Even with 14 months estimate, most November 21 filers processed by WAC should have decisions by end of Q1 2023. And by the looks of it, maybe even sooner.

    There is no requirement to ever naturalize. If you really wanted to, you could never apply for N-400 and live entire life in the US as a green card holder. So 1. You are not late 2. It's always best to provide as much good quality evidence upfront to avoid RFE 3. You can take your time, no need to rush to apply. Prepare everything, scan evidence etc. Review forms carefully and then submit. Good luck!

    IMHO this is subjective. To me switching employers on H1B alone is already complex enough. Add to that including immigrant's income into affidavit of support and switching jobs. There's a lot of things that can go wrong / slow down AOS. Definitely possible to pull off and ultimately OP will be forgiven even if falls out of status. What I'm suggesting is reducing all of these moving parts and making sure it's easy for IO to adjudicate the case.

    Did you check the relevant boxes on I-485 and I-765 to receive SSN? If not, you would have to go to SSA office and apply for SSN.

    This changes everything. Surely they can travel for a week as they will get a stamp in the passport serving as green card for a year.
  17. OldUser
    @Dashinka technically yes, the OP can include their income but not 100% sure how this would work if they're changing jobs etc. It's hіt or miss to make USCIS consider inmigrant's income or assets when filing I-864 / I-864A

    Amazing news and congratulations @Walbrzyszanka221!

    You cannot self sponsor. Your husband will be the primary sponsor, but you need to find a co-sponsor with eligible income. It's best not to switch jobs while AOS is happening due to complexity. But you could. For that you need to undergo "H1B transfer", when your new employer needs to file a I-129F petition with USCIS after getting LCA approved from Department of Labor. Once it's all approved, you can work for new employer. It's best if you maintain your H1B status while your AOS is pending.

    Get the I-551 stamp

    @AhmadSYR when do their IR-5 visas expire? Can they do whatever they need to do back in their home country and enter the US with intention of living here before immigrant visas expire?

    See this related thread Why K-1? You've known her for 5 years. Especially if you visit her frequently in Italy you could have married her and filed I-130 as a spouse. Spouses treated better nowadays.

    There's been movement (RFEs and approvals) in WAC for cases ending 20500-20999 today. Amazing and hoping for most WAC November 2021 cases to be processed by the end of January 2023.
  24. OldUser
    You would get an I-551 stamp (aka ADIT stamp). To get it, call USCIS 30 days before your letter expires to schedule a field office appointment. It helps to have a reason, such as upcoming travel.
  25. OldUser
    Probably your case moved from service center to field office.
