  1. 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
  2. December 2024 filers stats as of 03/13/2025 @ 11:55 PM ET: Approved: 1534 Denied: 17 Fingerprints Scheduled: 321 Interview Cancelled: 145 Interview Scheduled: 9891 Pending: 4 Processing: 14640 Received: 14 ResponseToRFE: 21 RFE: 202 Terminated: 6 Withdrawal: 32 OathCeremonyNotice: 850 OathCeremonyScheduled: 851 OathCeremonyReady: 2
  3. This is normal overall. If you follow the stats I post frequently here, more than a half of December filers still don't have an interview date.
  4. I'm really really glad your interview went well and you're in line for oath!!! Congratulations! Were you asked for any docs or evidence? Did you find a good way to organize them? I'm getting ready for my interview
  5. Better file AR-11 now than never. Historically, failure to file AR-11 on time wasn't an issue. Technically, though it is a deportable offence hence should be taken seriously.
  6. I was on J-1. The decision whether you're subject to 212(e) was made at consulate, before visa was printed. I don't recall CBP writing anything on DS-2019. I see consular officer signature and correct box checked on my DS-2019.
  7. Yes, any doc in foreign language has to be translated. Yes, each translation should include "certification", e.g. sworn statement. I'd recommend using professional online services, they're pretty affordable. Firstly, they do it every day and know how to do it right. Secondly, they're a third party, removing any potential conflict of interest associated with you translating your own docs.
  8. Reach out to J-1 program organizer and request a copy of your DS-2019. Also, for affidavit of support, USCIS prefers tax return transcripts, those are downloadable from IRS. They're shorter and better than providing W-2 and 1040
  9. I'm so glad you're recovering from this toxic relationship!
  10. Many room mates renting a house together have the same address, but don't file taxes together and not considered part of same household. This is not much different.
  11. Then she as a sponsor cannot include her parents in household size. She will be your main sponsor (I-864) and her parents may be joint sponsors (I-864 for one parent and I-864A for other parent if they file taxes together and both work)
  12. Best to only include tax return transcripts. There's types of transcripts, but this is the only thing USCIS is interested in. They're downloadable from IRS website.
  13. This can only be done if they file taxes together. E.g. parents list her as a dependent on her taxes or she lists them as dependents.
  14. So you're saying you had too many addresses in the last 5 years that you have to use Additional Section? I don't think listing it twice is a problem even if you do it.
  15. Note the question asking for "most recent" address outside the US and "most recent" place of study / employment. It doesn't say "in the last 5 years". Even if most recent was 10 or 20 years ago, you should list it. The only time you don't list it, is if it falls within last 5 years and already listed in preceding questions.
  16. One more vote for consulting a lawyer before proceeding with N-400. You may have issues resulting in USCIS reverting their decision on your residency!
  17. Naturalisation is offered by British and Aussies, I hope officer offered naturalization. This was good. I think @MichaelJuan.198 is contemplating whether his wife should just take same day oath with current name and change it later or decline same day oath to naturalize in new name. I think your approach is much better. Good luck!
  18. Also, correction to the terminology in title: your spouse and son(s) are going through Removal of Conditions (ROC), not Adjustment of Status (AOS).
  19. In any case, I think it wouldn't hurt getting a good lawyer's opinion (if he / she is a member of AILA). This is not a very straightforward situation we see on VJ every day. And maybe even involving Japanese immigration lawyer to confirm Japanese residency won't be lost if your spouse and son become US citizens. I don't see how it would be lost, but hey, I'm just a guy online.
  20. As long as your relationship is OK and she gets conditions removed, I don't see how this could affect the son staying in the US. He's a US LPR. LPRs are encouraged to live in the US to maintain their residence. I'd be more concerned about the other son going to Japan (if he's also US LPR). Your wife has a perfect reason to be following you to Japan, since you're in the military on assignment.
