  1. You must go to biometrics appointment. It is independent of RFE
  2. Filing a weak NIW case was a mistake... Did a reputable lawyer do a legal analysis to establish whether your NIW case was viable? Or did you just try yourself? No B2 for a while
  3. You're married on time, so I-129F should still carry the day, no I-130 is needed.
  4. It's auto generated email. InfoPass is offered by local field office, and email says your request will be handled by local field office which is logical.
  5. I believe this does not apply for you, because you already have a green card. Remind me why do you need I-131 at all? Usually you only need GC and passport, unless you're planning to stay outside the US for long time, thus needing reentry permit. But it's not a parole in my understanding.
  6. MM/YYYY: October 2025 Location: California, US Business / organization: Target Check type: Age verification Reason: Alcohol purchase Result: Failure Details: Got asked for ID by a very old lady when purchasing alcohol. Gave my GE card. She couldn't understand where to find DOB and even attempted scanning the back. After that she asked what my DOB was and I had to shout it in front of everybody so she could hear it. Even though I got the alcohol, the ID wasn't used.
  7. I checked the box too. Nothing happened. You need to get appointment at SSA and go there to update your status. Here's whole explanation:
  8. Yes. Status will change, for example she'd be invited for biometrics
  9. That's right, you can ignore it. It never shows accurate info.
  10. I see your point. It's about the definition of the word "immigrant".
  11. Congratulations! I recommend updating SSA with your new status and getting a US passport (large book, because it's a free upgrade!)
  12. Be ready for everything. It can either. Be ready to be interviewed on both I-130 and I-485. Hopefully in one interview. I was asked both relationship as well as admissibility questions. What are you waiting for? Should have started yesterday. Keep collecting until both of you are citizens.
  13. You don't need to do name change in every jurisdiction. You changed your name in Nigeria based on marriage. As long as this was done legally, you just need to get a new US passport with married name. You don't need to go through name change process in the US. Your current married name IS your legal name.
  14. Yes, it's normal. Each case is individual. It's processed by different people and adjudicated by different officers. Cases are not processed on strictly first in first out basis. For example, my friend filed I-751 two weeks after me. Got approval like 4-5 months earlier than me. Same age, same occupation, same marital history, same nationality etc. You just never know.
  15. Even if they realize it, do you geniunely think a federal employee is going to reward such method?
  16. Congrats! There is no set timeline, but most filers get decision within days or weeks. The good news is, after 120 days following the interview, you can sue USCIS for decision
  17. Optional, but highly recommended in 2025 given all that's happening immigration wise. No
  18. So those 20% are of the value, the 80% not so much. You want photos with other people, not just two of you. Pictures with family, friends etc show your marriage is known in your circles. 3-4 images per page.
  19. Credit cards are accepted, but occasionally charges get flagged as fradulent. ACH is a more preferred method in my opinion, but you need to make sure you have funds in account.
  20. This is case to case and depends on officer. I would always prepare for a tough interview, officers are not friends even if they appear friendly. Preparing for worst and hoping for best doesn't hurt when it comes to USCIS in my opinion.
  21. This depends on where sponsor lives, what's their household size, how many dependants they have and whether they sponsored anybody else who is still a green card holder. Details here: https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p
