    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.

    Let's pause here... Don't ever ask generative AI (ChatGPT, Grok, Microsoft Copilot etc) questions about immigration. It's too important question to ask AI... Recently a couple from EU were denied boarding to Puerto Rico because ChatGPT told them they can travel visa free. What it forgot to tell them, they needed ESTA

    1. Sure, unless you hit some limit in online form. Then you can combine few PDF into one file if too many files for the system. 2. Use Google Sheet or something similar. Past 3 pics per page with description. All photos can be in one file. Then export it to PDF

    Might be a new thing. I never went to secondary as conditional LPR on a number of trips I took. But it was few years back. I had extension letter too...

    Are you a lawyer? Petitioner can file the form themselves and avoid errors made by third party

    Congrats!

    Technically, you could switch to 5 year rule by writing a letter and uploading as PDF doc in unsolicited evidence. Do you have I-751 pending?

    Yes, if N-400 is based on marriage, both spouses should go. Many times US citizen won't be interviewed, but some time officer wants to talk to them. As for documents, immigrant should bring all passports (valid and expired), all USCIS ID cards (Green card, EAD, Advance Parole etc). Marriage certificate. Divorce certificate(s). Children's birth certificates if applicable. Driver license or state ID (green card holder and US citizen addresses should match on their IDs). Bank statements, utility bills, tax return transcripts, joint leases and any evidence of bonafide marriage

    I-485 based on what?
  11. OldUser
    It was until earlier this year
  12. OldUser
    Could be few months, could be never. Some people never get permit and get their green card within 3-18 months of applying. And you never know whether you'd have to wait few months or over a year to be able to work and travel internationally. I think my AP took about 5.5 months.

    @Xhod100 updating citizenship status with SSA is needed for multiple reasons: 1) DMV, IRS etc may use SSA records to determine whether you're a citizen 2) To apply for certain benefits, you need to be a US citizen 3) When you change employers, they perform I-9 verification to determine your status. Best to have up to date records saying you're a citizen. Especially for government jobs etc.

    Always assume combo. Both spouses should attend
  15. OldUser
    Neither. You need to marry within 90 days. The sooner after wedding you file I-130, I-485 and other forms for adjustment, the better . Must marry within 90 days. SSN is secondary. Try other SSA locations too

    It's possible, just may have potential issues proving marital union. In situations like this, couples often struggle with other evidence too, such as lacking joint leases, finances not being combined, issues with IDs not matching address where they actually live etc etc

    I mean, we all know the USCIS / CBP / DOS perfect world where both spouses merge all of their finances, travel together and have joint house ownership etc etc. Any deviation may cause questions, especially in scenario when new GC holder travels solo. It's not OP's case so they should be OK, though entering the US together is subjectively better than leaving the US together
  18. OldUser
    I had GE and used GE lane when I got this question about travelling together. If CBP needs to stop somebody and ask questions, GE won't help
  19. OldUser
    CBP asked me when I was a green card holder whether I travel internationally with the spouse. If you were to travel alone, it could trigger a bit more scrutiny. There's pattern some CBP agents are concerned about... Which is somebody getting GC and travelling to their home country shortly after without US citizen spouse.
  20. OldUser
    Is spouse travelling with you?
  21. OldUser
    Not good
  22. OldUser
    It would be too risky to travel without proof of status. You can be detained while going through airport. ICE operates at locations like that. Receipt takes 2-8 weeks after filing.
  23. OldUser
    If the method above doesn't work, file a FOIA request to get more details from CBP

    Estimates are just estimates. I-130 take 12-17 months on average. You're still within this window. Hopefully you will get approval in the next few months
  25. OldUser
    There's no such form "1130". Did you mean I-130? You can always try. Nobody can predict outcome for sure. A lot depends on your ties to home country.
