    Also consider all the costs associated with Adjustment of Status. Not only the fees are higher than consular processing, but also you'd have to pay for your significant other (food, clothing, bills, medical services etc)

    Letter isn't needed in my opinion. You can make a physical / digital copies and take with you. This is in case CBP ask whether you filed I-751. You'd have reference to it

    Just make sure you write somewhere down all the addresses you lived at (dates, addresses). Update it whenever you move. Same goes for international trips. Date you left US, date you came back and countries visited. You'll need this information for I-751 (addresses) and N-400 (addresses and trips)

    Yes
  5. OldUser
    Of course you can

    Online filing fee for I-130 is $625. This is enough to start a 18-24 months clock before beneficiary can come to the US. In most cases, lawyer isn't strictly required.

    Each case is a standalone case, two separate I-130. It's not unusual to get one parent approved, and the other pending.

    This is not exactly how it works. USCIS do background check, but they also expect you to do the legwork when it comes to criminal records. The burden of proof is on petitioner.

    Congratulations! It's better to have docs than not. Maybe you'd need it for something else.

    Anything related to Adam Walsh Act in your history?

    Did you have to do another medical exam in the US due to missing vaccines?

    No, there's typically a gap between biometrics and decision

    The question is, how long are you going for? If you're back before October 1, technically you don't need to carry extension letter.

    I'd say for N-400, most people submit new evidence since I-751 filing. It takes about a year after submitting I-751 when people become eligible to file N-400.

    You mean ROC? That's true
  17. OldUser
    But the forms haven't been updated yet, AFAIK. You're subject to rules under which you applied for N-400. Say tomorrow there's new N-400 form asking for social media handles. You won't be requested to file a new form.

    You can get some scrutiny because of that. Or you may be totally OK.

    If US citizen spouse is travelling with you? If yes, and you don't have crimimal charges and no prior overstays - you'll be OK

    Use your current address if this is where you have lease and planning to live for duration of AOS for both physical and mailing address. If you're not sure about moving, list current address as physical and parent's as mailing. List all addresses where you lived. Don't make USCIS think you live at address X when you live at address Y.

    I also suspect, those drive-thru oaths for hundreds during pandemic weren't administered by judges either.
  22. OldUser
    Not everywhere, especially if one keeps their current name. I was in a room at USCIS office with about 30-50 people. There was no judge in presence.

    This will likely take a while. Could be months. If you never provided divorce decree, you'll get RFE. These type of cases usually take time... Keep us posted!

    @Jude61 that's some VIP treatment 😃

    Thank you for sharing your experience! I was always told by lawyers not to give long stories at the interview. I was never asked such question by adjudicator. Any open ended long answers can lead to more questioning and searching for inconsistencies to accuse one of fraud. I was asked questions such as "How did you meet"? And my answer was short: "We met through a common friend". That seemed enough. A smiling and friendly adjudicator can be a mask they wear. Generally, adjudicator is not a friend. I think, in your case, you had a nice person new to USCIS, that's why they need others to review their work before decision can be made. Keep us posted!
