Then answer is No whether you sponsored anybody.

You can pick 3 years bases on VAWA or 5 years on general provision. The whole immigration history including VAWA related events may be reviewed at N-400 regardless of when you decide to naturalize.

Found previous thread where I posted same advice...

Interview is the last thing you want, because I foresee it being a stokes interview. You'd be separated and grilled for some time with different questions about you, your spouse, marriage and other things. If some answers won't match, officer may accuse you of fraud. Or scare US citizen spouse into withdrawing their support of your I-751. The living arrangement, again, may raise some brows at USCIS. Do you at least have matching state IDs / DLs with same address? Do you have Costco / Sam's Club membership listing both names? Amazon household account? Shared phone plan? Letters from friends and family to both of you showing current address? You really need to think hard how to prove the marriage. The worst case, you may eventually lose GC if you can't provide enough proof of bonafide marriage

It's an urban myth. K-3 has no proven impact on I-130.

Nobody so far was able to explain logically why USCIS would give somebody preference and process I-130 faster if free K-3 form was filed. Nobody so far was able to prove correlation between K-3 filing and faster approval. Occasionally, filers who had both I-130 and K-3 were approved fast. However, random luck also applies to different cases at USCIS. For example, while majority of I-751 filers wait around 2 years, some lucky users (less than 0.5%) get approved super fast, within a month. They don't file anything else special, they're not married to a member of military or anything else. Just regular people. Yes, there is correlation between I-130 approval forcing K-3 getting closed. But I don't see how and why K-3 would speed up I-130 approval. Good luck!

It is indeed a problem. That's probably why USCIS cannot approve the case, as they don't see enough evidence of bonafide marriage. I agree with @Boiler in asking why coming up with evidence is difficult in a legitimate marriage?

I think you seriously annoyed or confused them by skipping oath several times, asking them for a favor to reverse decision and skipping oath again. From a simple straightforward case, your case turned into bureaucrat's nightmare hence they're sitting on it. At this point, I'd recommend seeking legal help to clean this up. Ideally, you should have applied for N-400 later, after sorting all issues back home and attended the very first oath date no matter what. But it's water under the bridge now. Good luck and keep us posted!

Sponsor, sponsoring, sponsorship, sponsored. I'd say the answer is YES if you filled I-864A before for your husband sponsoring his parents.

She should get second attempt and another interview, as far as I know. Only after second attempt she'd file another N-400 form. If she fails on second attempt, I'd wait before filing N-400 to ensure she's fluent in English.

Since you became a resident in July 2021. Technically, there's no big difference between conditional resident and normal permanent resident in most cases, other than conditional has to remove conditions.

Everything in your immigration history can be reviewed by USCIS at N-400 stage. Be ready to talk about that marriage, divorce and everything else. I would recommend saving / borrowing money to have attorney at the interview.

You can either apply under 3 year rule now or under 5 year rule in 2026, the choice is yours. The son is over 18, can only apply for N-400 in 2026 after 5 years of residence.

Effectively, right now you're helping her to build a VAWA case. Which is her way to get GC and stay in the US without you being married to her.

I can only imagine how hard it is, but it's for the best. Nothing good is going to come up from you meeting face to face.

This is a mistake. Talking to her is a mistake. Are you aware that to an outsider, such as USCIS officer, this may look like stalking? She wants you to give her answers you're giving that she will use in her VAWA claim. E.g. "I wasn't safe, he insisted on getting to know my physical location, trying to push me to stay with him". Just cut all communication. In all honesty, the more this chat, ultimatims etc continues, the more she would look like a legitimate VAWA victim...

They key to success is to provide what they asked for (see messages from @EatBulaga and @Edward and Jaycel) Plus add updated evidence. You need a lot more: new bank statements, lease agreement or mortgage statements showing you live together, utility bills in both names, affidavits, copies of trip reservations taken together, copies of car or health insurance showing each other. Without this, USCIS can issue NOID or deny case.

An urban myth, also known as an urban legend, is a story or statement that is widely circulated as true but is actually false.

No it's not. Just because somebody waits longer or shorter, doesn't make case get approved easier. It depends on how strong the case is and how much evidence you provide.

This is an urban myth. Just adds unnecessary work for USCIS rejecting K-3 when I-130 gets approved. Of course you're free to do it.

Exam is simply a 30 min appointment. You should get results soon, most of the times right after exam. The cost? Probably $300-500 on average

But sadly now a civil surgeon will likely want to charge you for entire exam, which is probably more expensive than that jab you skipped. Not many civil surgeons mess with vaccination portion only of I-693
