  1. Most importantly, do your DLs / IDs have matching address on them?
  2. And one more thing about I-131. This form covers a lot of documents, including Re-Entry permit and Advance Parole. If it's the Re-Entry permit, the chance is greater she'd have todo biometrics again.
  3. Were I-131 and I-485 filed together or separately? If together, it's unlikely she'd have another biometrics appointment. If I-131 was filed after I-485, there is a chance for biometrics appointment for I-131 specifically.
  4. US officials may become suspicious of adoption when child's mother is alive. It all may sound as a way to circumvent immigration laws. You'd have to follow full legal process of adoption in country of origin before this child can move to the US.
  5. Why do you need a reentry permit? Are you planning to be away for more than 6 months? What job back home pays more than a similar job in the US (otherwise why keeping it?) Yiu can apply, but I'd rather have a GC in hand before leaving the US for a long time. If GC gets lost in the mail etc while you're outside the US, it will add more headache as you'll have to file I-90 and wait even more. Also, what do you mean by middle of the year? It's pretty much end of 2024 right now.
  6. You should use the address where you sleep at night most of the times and where you're a tax resident. If you get a job in Chicago and will spend most of your time in Chicago, you'd have to change address.
  7. Sadly, it's not. It's largely inaccurate. Yes it's perfectly normal. Good luck!
  8. Put their current official names on the forms. Also put their names from birth certificates and all spelling variations in "Other names used".
  9. How does CR-1 add 3 months? Did you factor in AOS time after entering on K-1? It's more like K-1 adds 6-12 extra months until green card in hand.
  10. I don't think we can offer any different advice other than one that was already given - just be patient. This is pretty normal. It's out of your control.
  11. I'd start from scratch if you haven't paid the fees. Did you have a long delay going from page to page? You probably logged out due to inactivity.
  12. The estimates are completely wrong. People get approved with estimated time to decision showing 6-7 months.
  13. Capital One and many more banks have maintenace fee free checking and savings. Good luck!
  14. You seem to have good evidence. Make sure to attach copy of I-751. You can write a letter stating you have pending I-751, and would like to request a combo interview. There's several factors out of your control whether you'd have combo or not. Some is discretion of officer, others outside of their control too.
  15. This is typical USCIS. I've seen this with my I-751. At least, we're not asylum seekers from 2015 who got forgotten for years, some until now while newer applications got approved. Your turn will eventually come!
  16. I'd enter it as 01/01/23-01/02/23. I don't think this is material and you can add note in Additional section saying you could not enter 01/01/23 - 01/01/23
  17. Second interview is typically when fraud is suspected. There's a great chance you will be separated and asked about each other. I'd take a lawyer with you. Do you comingle finances?
  18. Regarding taxes, what you really need is freely downloadable Tax Return Transcripts from IRS website. Otherwise your case looks good.
  19. I highly recommend paying with personal check. Here's just short list of issues related to paying USCIS fees with credit card:
  20. Have you tried checking around midnight and other ackward times? There's a time slot different for each embassy when new appointment slots are released.
  21. Could be hours, could be months. There's too many variables. Add around 12-14 months to filing date for estimate.
  22. Since you're submitting both concurrently, I'd send to whatever location you need to send it living in Florida. What's the plan as to living together? USCIS may see you living apart as a red flag and scrutinize case more.
