  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. The lawyer doesn't want to take responsibility in case if you're detained or pressured to give up LPR status by CBP.
  4. You can write a letter an upload in PDF format saying you forgot to include other names.
  5. 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...
  6. Assets not needed if you have a qualifying joint sponsor. Assets are routinely ignored. Here's few examples on Visa Journey:
  7. Any case adjudicated under 12 month is good. You only waited 2 months, it's nothing.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. You can actually do it with US passport now. I didn't have to show the certificate.
  14. 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:
  15. It doesn't matter. I applied for passport first, because I thought N-400 checkbox would automatically update SSA. But it didn't
  16. I'm not 100% sure what information as you'll be presenting your naturalization certificate to update status. Either way, waiting for 10 days doesn't hurt. I did that a month later, after receiving passport and passport card. Good luck!
  17. There's actually 4 possible scenarios: 1) 3 year rule with pending I-751 2) 3 year rule with previously approved / never needed I-751 3) 5 year rule with pending I-751 (yes, these cases exist) 4) 5 year rule without pending I-751 (either I-751 is approved or never needed)
  18. Make sure to update SSA with your new citizenship status! Congratulations!
  19. Smart You realize, B1/B2 are not guaranteed?
  20. Google it or ask ChatGPT to make you a template of affidavit of bonafide marriage for USCIS. Then you can customize it from neighbor's perspective and ask them to sign it. Ideally you want to notarize or include copy of person's ID to proof authenticity.
