  1. 10 months in different state with no clear timeline of coming back to address in Florida. There's nothing more permanent than temporary in this world. I cannot agree with recommendation to use Florida address. @Roms2019 is probably a tax resident of Texas by now with over 183 days living there. IMHO it's an easy denial by USCIS saying the applicant didn't reside in the state in the last 90 days...
  2. Hold long ago did you lose your job? How long ago did you move to friend's address? How long are you planning staying there? You need to update address within 10 days of moving. If you're actually moved to a new address and not temporarily visiting, you should not use your old address for applying for N-400. It will get denied if you don't actually reside there.
  3. My USC wife changed her last name before I went through AOS. She used married name on forms. You use your current legal name, whatever it is.
  4. I-797, NOA, NOA1, Notice of Action, Extension Letter, Receipt - it's all the same document people call different names. You'll need it + valid passport (typically 6 months or more plus 2 or more empty pages) + Green Card (original) + Extension Letter (original, valid)
  5. Most importantly, was your wife asked about @Crazy Cat and @OldUser and why you talk to them on VJ? 😃
  6. Worst case you can sue USCIA for decision after 120 days since interview @Shercook27 @mattguk
  7. I'd just pay to be safe. How many pages are you translating? 2-3 pages of birth certificate would only cost you $50-75 to translate. That's a very small cost compared to delayes caused by translation not being accepted. Here's data point from somebody who thinks self-translation was a cause for RFE.
  8. Why doesn't he have a GC? Did you pay immigrant fee for him to receive green card after entry? Does he have endorsed immigrant visa in his passport? Is it still valid? Why do you think he's a citizen, did you naturalize or something else?
  9. If you hold New Zealand passport, US cannot stop you from leaving the US and going to New Zealand. Whether you can reenter the US is actually the question. Make sure to apply for I-765 and I-131. These forms will allow you to get employed during AOS and travel outside the US in case of emergency.
  10. That's what I think too. I can't see how can there be many approvals in 3-4 months if opening packet and creating a case takes 1.5-2 months nowadays for many people.
  11. It takes USCIS 1.5-2 months just to open your packet nowadays. Everything is possible, 3-4 months is not unreasonable estimate.
  12. The process is exactly the same as the first time. It will take USCIS some time to locate and open your packet. Faster or slower only depends on how many more packets are waiting to be opened and processed before yours. Until they open the packet USCIS doesn't know your case exists.
  13. Be careful with any of these estimates. There's a chance you may still be asked to attend interview and it may take longer than 4 weeks. Keep us updated!
  14. Could've filed all forms together for simplicity. I hope you mean I-485? Never heard of form I-486. When you submitted I-485, did you include copy of receipt for I-130? Good luck!
  15. I don't believe pregnancy gives you any immunity from this. Also, usually it takes months before somebody is actually ordered removed, so you'd already given birth by that time. I'm sorry you're going through this. I can see your husband's point filing with a lawyer but the timing is tight... When you go on that call make sure to raise your concerns with lawyer. I'd want to get reassurance from them they'd jump on your case immediately. Meanwhile, did you get all evidence collected for AOS? Maybe you can scan it, organize it before meeting lawyer. You can also draft responses on forms and go with a lawyer through answers.
  16. Unsolicited clarification from me (I hope you don't mind). It's the easiest if immigration history is straightforward. If the history is complicated, N-400 process can quickly become the hardest part of the journey.
  17. The child needs their own AOS packet and all the fees paid.
  18. It's OK, sometimes officer cannot approve and requires review by their manager.
  19. Not sure why you're confused? As stated earlier in the thread, there's no right to US visa. It's discretionary. DHS doesn't want you to visit the US based on your travel to other places. It's possible you'll get the visa in the end, but I think the chances of success are minimal.
