  1. That's aweful advice. Staying married for immigration benefit is fraud. Yes, divorce waiver can take longer, but what's the hurry? The friend will get 4 year extension letter. They'd have same rights as somebody with 10 year GC.
  2. But how would this matter? Would your friend stay married to get GC approved faster if it was faster for joint filers? That's considered fraud .
  3. This paper is telling you what's needed to get your case approved.
  4. There were cases when 10 year GC was renewed with no problem, but citizenship denied. I-90 doesn't trigger all the checks N-400 does.
  5. Official paper asks for sponsor. Why are you questioning their request?
  6. Weren't you suppose to get some written request for missing evidence besides emails?
  7. A common approach is... 1) Joint checking account to pay mortgage / rent and bills that are reoccuring. It can also be used to cut checks for large purchases, home renovations, tax payments. It can be also be used for receiving tax refunds. 2) Joint savings account(s) to hold emergency fund, save towards house downpayment, other goals for you as a family 3) Separate personal checking accounts to pay off credit cards for miscellaneous purchases. May employers allow splitting paycheck to multiple accounts automatically. My family this approach. Both I-485 and later I-751 approved.
  8. In case they make $175K a year and have no other dependants, they don't need to list assets. Tax return transcipts are always preferred. They're downloadable from IRS website for free.
  9. Where you physically in court when getting decision on divorce?
  10. Do they know what bilingual is ?😃 Interesting suggestion, I heard of people translating the non-English part even though it already has English. If this works, I guess it saves money.
  11. USCIS doesn't process cases in strict first in first out queue. Each case is unique.
  12. Why? Do you and your spouse live apart? Does your spouse live at hotel?
  13. I've heard from some callers on Jim Hacking show USCIS sent them RFE despite providing everything they had. Then the callers didn't know what else to send. There's a school of thought saying you can file the strongest case and then not submit anything else. If USCIS RFE, then you can confidently reply with 1 year or more of new evidence. If you already sent new evidence, they can approve it without asking for anything else, or they can be sneaky and still issue RFE to which you'd have to reply. If I was you, I'd keep some evidence up my sleeve.
  14. Everything is possible. Don't forget, there's an election coming and many holidays which can slow things down.
  15. Agreed, I'd disclose those. From what I know, most lawyers also recommend listing them.
  16. You cannot file I-765 or I-131 before I-485. You can file those forms either together with I-485 or later (but attach copy of I-485)
  17. Work with family lawyer and divorce ASAP. All the immigration stuff is secondary. She'll have to meet the high bar set by Removal of Conditions process. Her leaving you shortly after arrival will be a major red flag to USCIS.
  18. The only evidence that has any value is this in my opinion:
  19. Did you ever discuss why? People say bad things just to hurt other people...
  20. This has low value as evidence in my opinion. Did you ever ask why she was unenthusiastic? How long was the flight? Was she flying super economy? Did she have annoying passengers the entire flight? Did she have to travel far to the airport? Was the immigration line long? Was she sad leaving her home? Was she sick, tired or on her period? Did you have an argument before she flew? There's many reasons why she could have been unexcited.
  21. I'm sorry you had to go through this. Few comments about evidence: Moving to the US is expensive. Not that everybody maxes out their cards, but maybe she was paying for things she brought to the US and medical / dental / cosmetic treatments / clothing? I don't see this as evidence of fraud. Maybe evidence of bad financial literacy?
  22. Looks like IT issue at USCIS. Errors 500/503 are server side errors.
