    Maybe a lawyer can help? It's a crucial document. No certificate in most cases means no immigrant visa

    Good point, I missed the fact it was filed by LPR not US citizen. @GinaCarterWebster there's probably 0.1% chance the kid will come this December. It will be several years...

    Hi, don't believe estimated processing times in your account. They're very inaccurate. It takes about a year for I-130 to be approved. Then you need to factor possible delays by embassy scheduling visa interview after filing DS-260. This can easily add a few months on top. It would be a true Christmas miracle if it somehow works for you and the child comes to the US this December. I'd be expecting more like August-October of 2025. Good luck!

    That's how I-131 (Advance Parole) should really work. It is approved while you wait for I-485 approval (GC). Once GC is approved, you no longer need Advance Parole to travel. But recently process didn't work correctly with many people never receiving Advance Parole and just waiting for GC.

    Sue after 120 days for decision

    How were you eligible to file N-400 in 2019? Are you absolutely sure USCIS is not giving you a favor by not inquiring more into your past immigration history? There's few issues @Family identified. Depending on your circumstances, you may need to withdraw N-400 and never attempt naturalizing again, being thankful you're not played in removal proceedings.

    Yes, it is a problem. Amend taxes, you should be Married Filing Separately.

    While I understand your fear of dealing with ex, in reality you don't have to contact your ex. You have to hire a family lawyer and communicate with ex exclusively through lawyer. This is what they're paid for. What's really scary is the fact you're still married to the person who can harm you. If you live in community property state like California, your ex may be opening new credit cards or getting big loans. And you'll be liable for those! That's a really scary part. Or if they get extra tax benefits by providing false information to IRS on your behalf. You should really seek divorce, there's nothing good about being married to abuser.

    Reading Visa Journey on a daily basis. People are complaining about their packets not being processed for 1.5 - 2 months. This all began since end of March, right before the new fees were introduced.
  10. OldUser
    No need to modify evidence. Just upload it. To confirm: are you filing under 3 year rule based on marriage to US citizen?
  11. OldUser
    That's right. It takes about 1.5 months for them just to open the packet, scan it into system and create new case

    I think it's location dependent? Which enrollment center is the closest to you?

    EAD is Employment Authorization Document. Obtained by filing form I-765. AOS can take a year or so in some cases. EAD may be sent to you within the first 3-6 months of waiting. The card allows you to get SSN, get state ID or Driver's License, get employed, open bank account etc etc
  14. OldUser
    Good to know, thank you
  15. OldUser
    Small banks may put zeroes in place of your SSN until you get the actual number. But generally, no SSN - no bank account. Did you apply for EAD? Once you have it, you can get SSN from Social Security Administration

    1) You can always keep UK account if you want / need. Or downgrade to an account without service fees. Unless you really don't want to keep it. 2) Did you check boxes on forms to receive SS card? Documentation days up to 6 weeks after entering: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/immigrant-visa-for-spouse.html#18 If you don't want to wait this long / it's been passed this point you can always go to Social Security Administration and get it there
  17. OldUser
    True

    How did she build the US credit score not living in the US?
  19. OldUser
    When it comes to credit card game, there's many things besides the score to keep in mind. Capital One, for example, can only issue 2 cards max per client (not cobranded cards). Chase won't give any more credit cards if somebody has 5 or more hard enquiries in the last 24 months. There's many nuances indeed.

    How long ago was that? Sometimes online status is not up to date. Based on what? This I-485 petition? Something else? How come you have multiple? Are they valid?
  21. OldUser
    False. Any work (remote or not) while being physically in the US for any company, including foreign is illegal on VWP / visitor's visa.
  22. OldUser
    Congratulations!
  23. OldUser
    Receiving work card in such short timeframe is amazing news. A year ago work cards used to take close to 6-9 months to receive. I'd think AOS would be taking close to a year with some exceptions. Good luck!
  24. OldUser
    Yes
  25. OldUser
    Yes, re-enter as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the trickier re-entry may be.
