    Bad marriage can cost a lot more than tickets to see each other. I wouldn't want to marry somebody I've never met in person.

    The estimates are pretty unreliable. Plus I-130 is good, but I-485 is what really matters for GC. The processing time on I-485 may be longer.

    It would be harder to prove you can use it VS getting a new one.

    Establish as much evidence of comingling finances and living together as possible. Some things can take time and it's OK too.

    You will have to list all the trips in the last 3 or 5 years when applying for for N-400. Listing countries like Cuba, Syria, North Korea etc etc will at minimum put you in extended background checks, requiring much longer process. You may also need to do some explaining to CBP and other authorities upon return to the US. Travel to Cuba is frowned upon. If you're a US citizen you'd have to apply for special license in the US to travel there. My recommendation is to not travel to Cuba. Unless you have sick mother there, do not put your future at risk. In short: yes, I believe it can slow down and affect your I-751 and N-400.

    Not an issue unless paying out of pocket. Most credit cards with this benefit will cover the increased cost.

    Nobody can guarantee smooth entry into the US with multiple long trips. However, you filed I-131 and should have a I-797 for that. Bring it with you. Bring some evidence of ties to the US: your copy of lease for example. You cannot be denied entry to the US, but there's always a remote possibility of being referred to immigration court.

    You won't be renewing green card. In fact, there's two different forms: - I-90 - Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card - I-751 - Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence Replacement is for people who have a permanent GC which is expiring. Form I-90 is for replacing card... You are removing conditions, so need to file I-751.

    Usually you need two different proofs. Yes, bank statement from joint account would work, if your name is listed. But also include second document such as utility bill.

    I don't see a reason for any other types of letters from the bank to be rejected. E.g. letters with alerts, updates, promotions. Did you have negative experience with this?
  11. OldUser
    Bank statements should be accepted though.

    Sorry for confusion @Evalia @Scandi I didn't have coffee when I wrote my message.

    On the day of marriage or after? I don't know how it works in Utah, but in my city I: 1) Got marriage license weeks prior to ceremony 2) Got memorable marriage certificate on day of marriage 3) Applied and got legal marriage certificate few days / weeks later. So for actual certificate, I had to apply for it and wait. Was this the case in your situation?
  14. OldUser
    That's a good point. I expect though, USCIS expects certificate similar to what @Elavod posted. To me RFE is clear, they expect document A and OP provided document B. Explanation may not work

    As far as I understand, marriage licence is document needed to get married. Once you marry you should get marriage certificate.

    This is pretty normal. Typically civil surgeon will perform a new exam instead of completing form started by other civil surgeon. This subject keeps popping on VJ all the time, yet nobody seems to take it seriously... As @Boiler mentioned, best time to get exam completed is overseas.

    Make sure she doesn't use the terms "husband" and "spouse" in her interview.
  18. OldUser
    Sadly it's typical for USCIS...
  19. OldUser
    Sure, it can be asked by USCIS / other agencies at certain points in the process. It also proves you have a case. I would start worrying if it doesn't show up 8-10 weeks from filling.
  20. OldUser
    Awesome. So you're pretty much set. Just wait for physical letter which you should keep for your records.
  21. OldUser
    No, this is not a receipt notice. Receipt notice will be printed on greenish watermarked paper. Does this have case number? It's possible you can access your case online before other letter arrives. Sometimes mails go different routes and USPS delivers one before the other, even USCIS sent them together.
  22. OldUser
    Yes you'll get another mail. There's nothing to worry about.
  23. OldUser
    Are you eligible for N-400? This is option 1. Option 2 is to file Writ of Mandamus.
  24. OldUser
    Sorry I don't have personal experience with this, maybe somebody else can comment.
  25. OldUser
    You need your own account for I-485 and your petitions such as I-485, I-765, I-131, I-751, N-400. Did you one have previously?
