    This is a scary statement. Immigration can be long, difficult, expensive with various challenges including separation, no matter which route you take (K-1 or CR-1). What if you come to the US in K-1 and found inadmissable for whatever reason, then needing to get waiver. Or you're put in removal for whatever reason. Are you absolutely sure you want to get married?
  2. OldUser
    I would not assume that. I-129F and getting visa in passport can take almost much as CR-1. Maybe 2-3 months shorter in some cases. I-129F can expire, unlike I-130. If there is a travel ban or some new restriction, usually spouses of US citizens are exempted, but not fiances. Just few points to think about.

    Marrying online when you are together at same physical location can look odd for USCIS. Why not put some effort and get married normally, like most couples would? If process is too difficult, why can't you go to your home country or other country nearby with easier rules? Nothing stops you from marrying online, it just seems unusual when you are in same location. The less unusual things, the better for immigration.

    Nice Christmas present!

    2. Yes, because if you get denied or rejected while outside the US and your GC expired - you'll find it challenging to enter the US.

    Nice! Well prepared folks with stacks of evidence get rarely asked for anything. It's when you come emptyhanded, you get more scrutiny

    I doubt he can get GE so quickly? But worth trying

    Historically, he should be OK

    Here it is: https://www.uscis.gov/i-140g Note the hefty $15K filing fee

    What's their citizenship?

    Thank you for reporting this and congratulations!

    Congrats! Once you become a citizen, don't forget to update your status at SSA and get yourself a large passport book (free upgrade)

    Included it as an option, I personally never used it. Just like "United State" (note the missing "s")

    Option 1 - file N-400 if you are eligible and wish to naturalize. This sometimes moves I-751. Option 2 - Hire a lawyer to file Writ of Mandamus (sue USCIS for decision) Option 3 - Submit inquiries (low success rate) or contact congressman Option 4 - Just wait
  16. OldUser
    Have you moved addresses since you filed I-751 or N-400? If you have around $5k lying around, you can hire a lawyer to sue USCIS for decision on I-751.

    Don't do it. You have perfectly valid extension letter extending your GC until 2028. If you get ADIT, your GC may be taken away. ADIT is only valid for 1 year max, so you'd be constantly renewing it
  18. OldUser
    That's right

    Estimated timeline can be safely ignored. When I filed my case the estimate was 7 months, but it only took 3.5 for N-400. On day of my oath, the estimate was 3 weeks until decision. If you read VJ threads, nobody ever has an accurate estimate.

    Normal. NYC is a very busy place

    3 on husband's (your dad, your mom + husband) I-864 and 3 on daughter's (your dad, your mom + your daughter). If dad sponsored somebody in the past who is not citizen yet nor earned 40 quarters of social security, he needs to include them in household size too.
  22. OldUser
    His current household size +1 in each I-864. Why would you be in household size? Is he claiming you as a dependant? Household size is to do how he files taxes, not how many people live at his house. Roommates sharing same house are different households.
  23. OldUser
    Visa or green card? If GC, I'd think you mean removal of conditions and not green card renewal. You need do submit a lot of evidence for removal of conditions. Please clarify what she has now (visa, 2 year or 10 year green card)
  24. OldUser
    Sadly, none of us have a crystal ball to tell you how exactly it will go. The fact you married another US citizen and not sponsored somebody from your country is a good thing. I wouldn't anticipate too much grilling, but you never know.

    I agree, waiting is typical advice I'd give to most of people. Waiting at age of 89 though... OP's mother may never naturalize. But the good question is: what's the motivation at this respectable age? I don't have issue if it's for personal beliefs. But if it is to sponsor somebody else, I wouldn't bother going through all the hassle.
