  1. This is normal. Nothing to worry about. My I-751 went from "Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken" to "Card produced" and then to "Case approved". Some people got approved while their status showed "Case was received".
  2. Can you reschedule the trip to your country? As sad as it may be, this is safer than rescheduling interview / oath.
  3. You should always tell the truth. If asked to list all countries visited in the last 5 years, make sure to list it. If asked about it by immigration officer, dislose it. Otherwise don't volunteer.
  4. Forget about using income from J1 especially if it ends... EAD can take 6 months. I'm not sure you can adjust without joint sponsor.
  5. I think somebody recently had a similar question on Jim Hacking's immigration show and it really triggered the lawyer who is muslim himself... This would be a difficult case for sure.
  6. Either way is bad... If married USC while still married to person back home, then got immigration benefits fradulently as marriage to USC wasn't legal. This is a candidate for denaturalization. If married other person back home while married to USC - committed bigamy which is a crime in the US
  7. As my signature says, I always recommend the bulletproof plan. I don't want to be that guy on the internet who said it was OK but the plan failed for OP.
  8. Very good question. Part 2 asks for all marriages. I don't know how @Raimasyed is going to answer that. I cannot see USCIS being happy with two wives listed there. I also cannot see how they would be happy if one of the wives is not included as this would be misrepresentation by omission...
  9. This is a problem. Your GC needs to be sent somewhere. If you think of using AirBnb, your GC may get lost. Do you have relatives / friends with stable address who are not moving any time in foreseeable future? Use it as mailing address to ensure GC is delivered OK.
  10. You cannot interpolate current processing times to future. After the election, a lo of things can change in USCIS. Right now it's fast due to the fact election is coming...
  11. I cannot think how good evidence can slow down the case. The evidence is reviewed at the very end of process when adjudicating case. Until then, nothing is happening to the case much in terms of reviewing evidence. The case mostly sits untouched for months.
  12. Complete application in one go. Take screenshot of all details too.
  13. Agreed, also @Drakyn42 with I-130 on file, US citizen spouse and baby on the way, CBP may decide not to let her in to the US... If you're worried about her flying, think about all possible stress of being questioned by CBP and put on return flight. The chances of this are relatively low, but not as low as winning in the lottery.
  14. No. If you read the full answer by @Demise , this is for scenario when somebody enters the US on immigrant visa such as CR1 / IR1 and receives GC by mail later. In this case, Resident Since on GC and date of entry on immigration visa are the same. In other cases, these may be different. 3 years of being a LPR is the requirement. Also, for example, if one got GC in 2 weeks after entering on immigration visa, left the US immediately and spent 4 months overseas... They should start counting residency since they're back from that trip. Otherwise USCIS may say they were not residing in the US wheb they got GC.
  15. Nothing, leave blank. It's not like everybody asks for fee reduction. It's optional.
  16. Even if she gets eventually deported it may take many years for this to happen. Divorce and move on.
  17. He practiced bigamy because he's married to two people at the same time while living in the US. It doesn't matter where the other spouse was in the world. Good luck to OP, USCIS will definitely want to know about relationship between US citizen and their other spouse since children will have her listed as mother on their birth certificates. Either OP will have lie (fraud) or tell the truth which will result in bigamy accusation by USCIS. I'd be impressed to see an example where USCIS / DOS approved such arrangement without fraud from petitioner side.
  18. Yes, I actually thought about this too after answering your questions. Though there is no way of knowing which EAD would be quicker to renew, perhaps trying the one off STEM may be a good idea.
