One thing to note, the question on I-751 form was different when @kpmartini and I were removing condition. The form we used (Expiration 12/31/2019 which was allowed at the time) said: "Country of Citizenship or Nationality (provide all that apply)" Even in your situation @cvkoob I don't see downside listing all citizenships. Are you planning to naturalize? You'll be asked for all citizenships at that stage, so might as well have consistent answers.

N-400 asks to list all citizenships. To avoid any accusation of misrepresentation and ensure full transparency, I listed all my citizenships in the field, separated by comma. I filed the I-751 case with lawyer, so their advice was to list both. Approved no problem.

Did you file in a 90 day early filing window? If yes, are you already out of that window?

USCIS also has text alerts you can sign up for. Both of these require signing up. Neither of organizations send text messages without one's consent.

Hopefully... There's always a small risk involved. I've seen reports on VJ people getting denied to board the plane when they had expired GC and original valid extension letter. Not each airline employee knows what it is. On one of the flights, I had to ask for manager at check in desk, because airline staff couldn't add 48 months to expiration date to enter onto their system. They never seen the letter before. I was a flight with a major airline from major European city.

I flew from US to Canada and back on conditional card with I-751 extension letter. It was easy and uneventful. Your biggest issue travelling with conditional GC and extension letter is airlines. I don't know whether folks in Philippines would know your GC and extension letter are valid for travel to Canada. I'd allow myself more time and bring copies of everything plus printouts from Canadian website proving you can travel to Canada on GC and extension letter.

In my case USPS Informed Delivery showed tracking number as soon as USCIS assigned label to the mail. It was in the email saying something like "Arriving soon". I also got text from USPS as I signed up for text alerts. All of this was 3-4 days before USCIS officially updated the status with tracking number. From what I understand, the tracking number was assigned even before USPS picked up the mail from USCIS.

USPS Informed Delivery. I got info when my card was produced too, but tracking was delayed. You're right this only covers the last few days, once card is shipped.

The estimates are made up, you're correct paying attention to reports by others.

The list of documents depends on whether you're applying on 3 or 5 year rule. But you should also bring all of your foreign expired and unexpired passports. All ID cards ever issued by USCIS (EADs, Green Cards, Advance paroles etc). I strongly advice bringing tax return transcripts for the last 3 or 5 years (based on rule you're applying). If you had any criminal charges, bring paperwork around it. The interview letter also provides a list of documents and evidence to bring.

That's what expected from applicant. The only reason why I mentioned airline tickets, passport stamps etc is because @irertwert doesn't remember when travel took place. Stamps, ticket etc help to reconstruct the dates to use on the form. I personally keep a Google sheet with dates I travel outside of the US since becoming LPR. So I also won't have to look at passport stamps etc.

She isn't required to change name. But if she wants, yes, all the paperwork she does should include her new married name. Then also remember to list her maiden name in other names used fields on forms. Before she changes name, make sure it's not going to be a major headache. How easy is it to update her name on her foreign passport? If it's hard, you may end up in situation when her foreign passport will show maiden name and GC show married name. Not a deal breaker, but she'd have to carry marriage certificate to show to authorities overseas how these two names are related. Best time to change name is either as you begin immigration journey or during N-400. Changing name midway (after receiving GC, during I-751 etc) can be cumbersome.

She needs to be in a legal status to apply for SSN. So probably after she receives EAD card. Make sure to file for I-765 in your AOS application as well as I-131. They are extra and optional, but if you want your future wife to be able to work and travel while waiting for GC, she needs to have them. Considering she was out of status before filing for adjustment, expect longer processing time for GC.

How did you answer these questions beyond what's asked? USCIS needs exact days to use simple math to calculate days out of the country. This is used towards evaluating physical presence and continuous residence for each applicant.

USPS Informed Delivery showed tracking number for my GC in both cases: after AOS and after I-751. Wouldn't it be similar in this case?

Passport stamps, email confirmation for flights, chats, Googleclap history, CBP FOIA

Agreed, this is what I heard on internet lawyer's immigration show. Either don't ever try to naturalize or if you do, have a lawyer to represent. This is not a DIY case anymore. The allegations of fraud are possible if OP tries to become a citizen.

Three positive things about CR1 are: 1) It's much much cheaper than K1 route 2) Once your spouse gets immigrant visa and enter the US - they're LPRs. No need to wait for over a year for GC and be restricted in working, travelling etc like you are with AOS after K1 3) If you're married for over 2 years when spouse enters the US, no need to file I-751 which is additional expense and 2-3 year wait. What you're proposing isn't going to work realistically. You're stuck with CR1, and it's the superior route anyways.

Those are just meaningless random numbers

Bonus point: you don't actually need to log in. You can check status here without password too: https://egov.uscis.gov/ This is useful as sometimes myUSCIS is down not showing status, but this website might be up.

This path is called immigration fraud. Nonimmigrant visas are not for relocating.

Google doc / Microsoft Word. Create a new file. Place 2-4 photos per page. Write captions under each photo: date, location, event, people from left to right.

Congratulations to you both! Don't file a non-existent form. Do you mean I-129F? Do not send any original documents unless explicitly asked for. Send copies. Yes, your fiance will need to include copy and translation of her birth certificate.

Left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Bring all letters and 10 year GC. Bring the US citizen spouse too. Before the interview starts, make sure to inform IO your I-751 has been approved. Good luck and keep us posted.

And should I mention I-751s that take close to 3 years nowadays... Hopefully when you file yours it will be faster.
