I'd recommend waiting until you're free to participate in process. Filing knowing you'd have to reschedule just creates unnecessary work for USCIS.

No, it's easier to apply under 5 year rule which doesn't depend on marriage to a US citizen.

Agree with this. Do not agree with this. Yes, having a baby on its own may not cut for evidence of bonafide marriage. It's only one piece of evidence. USCIS may also be interested in learning how finances are comingled and what is couple's living arrangement. But to fully disregard it? Following similar logic: - Married couples file taxes jointly because they get better tax return in most cases - Married couples put each other on car insurance / health policy because it's cheaper than paying two full policies - Married couples live together and put both names on lease / mortgage because they split costs VS paying for two places - Married couples pay bills together because it's cheaper - Married couples travel together because at least lodging is cheaper for 2 compared to a single person getting a hotel room. I could go on with this list... I don't agree with this logic. If babies were insignificant, birth certificates would not be part of recommended evidence, officers would never ask about kids / plans of having kids. From VJ reports it's evident that children are one of the signs of bonafide marriage. Not an ultimate evidence that overshadows everything, but can play a positive role in approving the case. Saying all that, @angelic4444 is paying lawyer. I can assume the lawyer knows the case better than we do. Unless the lawyer is inexperienced, they may have reasons to wait for AOS filing we don't know about. I would file and add more evidence down the line, but that's me.

The immigration processes slowed down significantly compared to 10 years ago. Not you're lucky to receive EAD within 6-9 months.

There's even address on GC saying "If found, please return to ..."

Your case is not first, I've seen reports on VJ about similar experiences. You have two options: 1) Just put the GC away in a safe place. AFAIK you don't have duty returning it unless asked by USCIS. 2) Write a letter explaining you got it by mistake and you're now a citizen. Attach copy of nats certificate or US passport. Then send it by certified mail to the address mentioned on GC.

FOIA can have a reverse effect. When you file FOIA, supposedly case processing gets paused while information is being pulled and response is assembled. Unless you think there is a hold up related to some issue in your immigration history or background, I wouldn't file it.

Somebody must have made a mistake at USCIS! Either way, both you and your spouse should be present for I-751. So use the letter as a ticket into field office, and then explain to officer it's the spouse who's removing conditions before interview begins.

Congratulations!!! Not sponsoring anyone? 😃

At the same time, whether @kenyy10 files for annulment or not, GC is in danger. I'd think 100 times before proceeding with N-400 in the future. I'd even think now whether to continue keeping GC. If USCIS catches up to this situation, they can rescind @kenyy10 LPR status...

Thanks for sharing. I guess my answer remains the same no matter how many threads OP starts 😅

I'd file N-600 to solve this once and for all. So the kids won't face same questions 30 years later (or whenever it may come up again)

1) Who told you this? 2) How old are kids? 3) What's the basis for kid's US citizenship?

You gave very little information. The laws are different in each state thus the outcomes...

Yes, I used an online service for translating docs for my AOS.

These are unrelated

The next step - get driver's license / ID in the state you now live.

That's the safest approach. I think we've seen somebody denied based on 3 months residency clause recently. From what I recall they went through I-290B and got N-400 re-opened and approved. But why even give USCIS an opportunity to deny?

She has to be on green card to become a citizen when her parent becomes a citizen

Cannot say that if he was born outside the US.

9 years and 6 months the earliest 😃

5 years rule is easier, true. But then you need to ask yourself what happens to USCIS if administration changes after presidential elections. There's still a possibility of becoming a citizen before any potential negative changes come into play.

It is complex. You'd need to make sure you do everything legally which may include getting consent from her father and some paperwork. Family lawyer may help with this. I'd bring the subject as you discuss the divorce process with family lawyer.

I don't believe cheating is a qualifying reason for VAWA. As to abuse, OP would have to describe something substantial.

Divorce the sponsor. Proceeding with I-485 is not an option as marriage is not bonafide. USCIS may even use your wife's cheating against you. Your daughter can sponsor your for GC once she's 21. Until then you're out of status and need other avenues to remain in the US legally.
