    You can reapply any time. Nobody can stop you from doing it. If you want to keep things clean and easy, apply when case is withdrawn. Emma is not a source of legal advice or accurate information.

    What mistake did you make that could not be corrected during N-400 interview? Did you apply too early?

    In my view it will take a very kind officer to believe the applicant who maintains relationship, but doesn't acknowledge the child on forms: Things are getting stricter and tougher by the day. Just because you're speeding, doesn't mean you can use excuse "I looked at the road, not the speedometer, officer". Sure, many speeders don't get caught. But if caught the consequences are severe. Same here in my opinion.

    In ideal world he'd investigate and establish whether the child is his biologically or not before applying for N-400. And of course, any biological child has to be listed on the form. The idea he doesn't list biological child (if truly his) on N-400 and later sponsors the child for immigrant visa is wild. It would be a good reason for denaturalization. And if he lists the child now, he may have severe issue not listing it on prior forms. I'd establish real biological relationship and consult with a lawyer before proceeding with filing N-400.

    You're suggesting lying on N-400 form to avoid uncomfortable questions? That's a risky strategy. I applied under 5 year rule and despite of that was asked whether I ever lived separately from my spouse at any point by officer. What would OP say? You really cannot lie under oath! OP has to face questions, whether comfortable or not. Truth won't disqualify him, he's applying under 5 year rule. Lie can cause a big problem.

    He should absolutely list address at which he lived for 1.5 years. Sure, he didn't change address with USCIS or DMV, but I doesn't matter. Question asks about addresses where he lived, not addresses where he pretended to live.

    There's always people whose cases get approved faster or slower. When I submitted my I-751, the estimated time was 7 months. It took 20.5 months. The funny part, a friend who is similar age as me, same immigration history, similar job etc submitted case 2 weeks later than me, and got approved 3-4 months faster than me. But there were people who waited even longer than me around same time. You'll get your approval, it's the last stretch 😊

    There's nothing to worry about. The estimates mean nothing. Any case under 12 months is within normal processing times. Good luck!

    It shouldn't. It's a valid request. Some officer's just don't have full authority over case and have to get approval from a higher up

    You weren't approved on spot in my view. On spot means status was updated within few hours. Like when I went through AOS, my case status was updated within 2 hrs and card was sent to production on same or next day.
  11. OldUser
    This means you weren't approved yet. Hopefully you'll get approval within few days.
  12. OldUser
    Good point

    Recommended by whom? I recommend the opposite - monthly statements. The lawyers I worked with on my AOS and I-751 recommended monthly over quarterly statements. I-751 instructions specifically ask for as much documents establishing bonafide marriage as possible. With online submission, there'S even nothing to print. So argument that it's expensive etc does't work. Just clicking the button to upload files

    So Bahamas are in the same camp as Canada, e.g. citizens don't need visa. Looks like a mistake was made automatically admitting you as B2 based on nationality. I wouldn't think this could present a big issue, since it wasn't your issue. You always presented yourself as LPR.
  15. OldUser
    FOIA takes time. So you did show GC in 04/2023? Or where you waved through? What citizenship do you have? Do you spend majority of time in the US or outside?
  16. OldUser
    This is typical. If you prepare and bring a lot of evidence - you're never asked much. It's folks coming emptyhanded and unprepared who get grilled the most
  17. OldUser
    Right, saying A and application and B in the interview is a fraud indicator... If one needs to correct mistakes it's one thing. But if they just say random stuff to officer, that's bad.
  18. OldUser
    Entry as B2 when you're LPR is a bit strange. Did you not show GC when entering the US?
  19. OldUser
    Does he want to be together? Is desire to be together stronger than his desire not to travel? For either route you need to meet and spend some time together.
  20. OldUser
    Thank you for confirming my suspicion...
  21. OldUser
    Sorry about denial. It takes 2-8 weeks to get a physical letter in the mail. You may consider going CR-1 route instead. I'd wait for letter to know the reason first. Maybe you or your spouse weren't free to marry in the eyes of USCIS
  22. OldUser
    Yes, if you're ok with some risks. By appointment, you mean biometrics? Don't miss it. Safe travels.
  23. OldUser
    Is it she or he who's applying? Sometimes saying "no" is actually more help than saying yes and helping. I'll pick this route instead of playing Chinese whisperers game. Good luck!

    Sorry can't recommend any particular software but there's many options if you search

    Consular officials may ask all sorts of questions about your parents, you or your relationship. Surely officer can ask parents about how you got your GC if they feel like it.
