  1. Was the biometrics st USCIS field office? I thought you go to application support center (ASC) https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-a-uscis-office/application-support-centers At least this is how it was for my AOS. Those are operated by contractor, not USCIS directly
  2. Yep, in reality we probably experience it all the time without knowing
  3. Agreed with all points above. Boarding flight with I-551 stamp may be a problem depending on incompetence of airline staff. At that point OP should be ready to articulate and support the claims with references to airline carrier guide.
  4. Does it apply to US citizens too? Just curious, never thought of that. The rule makes sense, but how can US citizen be denied entry the States?
  5. Ok, filled and hopefully filed in June 2023. The extension letter is for 48 months nowadays. Why did you have to get ADIT stamp? What was resident since date?
  6. Congratulations! I'm sure it must have felt like eternity. You're pretty lucky though, it's not unusual for I-130 to take 17 months or so. 14.5 is pretty good.
  7. Can you afford to wait months for decision? Even with expedite it takes months. And of course, nothing can happen until there is B1/B2 petition on file.
  8. Sure, divorce case is different to if you were still married and travelling together. Even in good times, during ROC, CBP asked me how do I usually travel - solo or with my spouse. Mind you, my spouse entered the US a minute earlier on that trip 😃 You're still LPR and should be able to enter the US on valid stamp. Unless you have other issues in your immigration history, you should be able to travel. You may be briefly placed in secondary upon reentry. It's up to you, lawyer is being overly cautions, it's their job.
  9. The lawyer doesn't want to take responsibility in case if you're detained or pressured to give up LPR status by CBP.
  10. You can write a letter an upload in PDF format saying you forgot to include other names.
  11. Couldn't agree more. The chance of success is 1-5% I'd say. If the kid needs medical attention, buy a ticket and go today. Your wife may not be able to join you, but it's about child's health...
  12. Assets not needed if you have a qualifying joint sponsor. Assets are routinely ignored. Here's few examples on Visa Journey:
  13. Any case adjudicated under 12 month is good. You only waited 2 months, it's nothing.
  14. You can safely ignore MyProgress estimates, they are not accurate. My N-400 showed 7 months when I filed the case. It took 3.5 months. On day of my oath, the estimate was 3 weeks until decision. I can give you other examples from Visa Journey users. I'm yet to see somebody saying it gave good estimate.
  15. When I filed my N-400 the estimate showed 7 months. The case took 3.5 months. On day of my oath, it showed 3 weeks until decision. Unless you want to drive yourself crazy, you can ignore these estimates. They are not accurate at all. Anything under 12 months is OK. By that I mean not estimate, but you should not be worried until April 2026. If your case is not decided in April next year, then yes, it's time to worry.
  16. I'd also suggest keeping track of all trips once she becomes LPR. Keep a spreadsheet with dates she enter and leaves the US plus any countries she visits and dates for those trips. This will be needed for N-400.
  17. As you can see, estimates are inaccurate. He has nothing to worry about if he was too old. You can ignore it, especially if lawyer confirmed it.
  18. His you mean the house belonged to her ex? You cannot be sacked, she's not your employer. Divorce if you're not yet divorced. What if she opened credit cards or took loans in your name? There's no reason to be married to such person. You can live and renew your green card. She has no control over you or your immigration status.
  19. You can actually do it with US passport now. I didn't have to show the certificate.
  20. I naturalized a bit earlier this year. The checkbox on N-400 doesn't work! After waiting for over a month I went to SSA to update status. You need an appointment. Here's full story:
