This is typical. If you come prepared, IO doesn't see value in wasting their and your time. If you come unprepared, then yes, there is a chance of getting grilled. Congrats!
An immigrant needs their own account.
Technically, US citizen's petitions are I-130, I-864 and I-865.
Petitions such as I-485, I-131, I-765, I-751, I-90, N-400, AR-11 belong to an immigrant and require their own account.
There's also an option for public transportation or even rideshare or taxi to get to SSA. I wouldn't restrict myself, because you never know how long AOS will take. Either way, good luck!
Opening bank accounts, cards, getting added to lease, getting added to insurance... all of this requires SSN. I believe DMV asked for SSN when getting state ID / DL. I think majority of people actually need SSN as soon as possible. Start building that credit score too...
Because lying to government?
And pretending to be somebody else...
And how are you going to hide it if US passport has place of birth and it's likely Tunisia for OP? With no ways of renouncing citizenship, I'm sure they'd figure out OP should be travelling on Tunisian passport (if this is a requirement by laws in Tunisia).
Bonus question...
How did he answer questions about marriages for visit visa? Was there a question requiring to disclose name of the spouse? Was he asked about spouse name at the interview? If yes, did he disclose both or just one? Because this may be a misrepresentation issue
What's the overall plan and when would divorce take place? It's essential to stop polygamy to get immigration benefit and adhere to US laws. USCIS most likely won't ignore the second wife and use it as a bar for I-130 approval instead.
Yes, I have advice based on this:
Start comingling finances right after marriage. Open those joint checking and savings accounts.
Add her to lease agreement.
It makes sense you don't share these when you're dating. But once married, this can no only help with evidence with USCIS, but also manage finances better and save for common goals such as house downpayment.
Good luck!
How much does it cost to renew a Tunisian passport? I wouldn't play such games. Depending on laws of Tunisia this may subject to fine or criminal charge (I don't know the laws there).
In severe cases, if you end up in jail, USA won't step in if you're still a Tunisian citizen. So following the local laws is important.
You should research Tunisian laws before travelling. Just like USA expect its citizens to leave and re-enter the US with US passport, many countries have the same rules.
If you're still a Tunisian citizen, you may be requried to enter and leave the Tunisia on a valid Tunisian passport.
In addition to that, US passport would probably list the place of birth which can give a clue...
In my understanding, it's pretty much two separate petitions for two people. Not different to me filing for my parent and you for yours around the same time. Each case is individual and I'm not sure there is any pattern or rule when it comes to reviewing them.
What I'm trying to say, please don't rely on those numbers too much. Each case is unique. However, considering it's the election year, your case should generally be processed faster.
People got naturalized while account showed 6 months until decision...
Did you use this certificate before for your immigration?
Does it match description from here?
