  1. Immigrant is the one who needs to get 40 quarters, not the sponsor. Whoever is the sponsor / joint sponsor is responsible for updating their address until immigrant becomes a US citizen or earns 40 quarters.
  2. If this is the case, it's sad. Leaving the US is dangerous then. What would be the way forward? Is this DIY?
  3. Whoever is sponsor and joint sponsor must file I-865 every time they move.
  4. @Pat J Is there a stamp like this next to immigrant visa? If NOT, even if you paid fees, Green Card won't get produced until you enter the US on visa and it gets endorsed.
  5. Tier 1 know nothing. It may be easy to go outside of the US (Mexico, Canada) and reenter either by air or land. As long as visa is still valid!
  6. Here's similar report in the past: Even citizens occasionally receive it:
  7. ~ Thread was moved to "Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion" ~
  8. Yes, this happens from time to time. If you know you don't need to file I-751, you can ignore the reminder. Also, green card is NOT a visa.
  9. Was I-865 also filed by sponsor in the mail? Sponsors are required to update address with USCIS within 30 days of moving, until LPR becomes a citizen or earns 40 quarters of SSA.
  10. Please do not rely on generative AI for important matters such as immigration. It is often wrong.
  11. Verbal approvals and promises mean nothing, sadly. And you cannot pressure USCIS into deciding faster because of your vacation plans. They'll take however long they need to decide the case. Usually people are advised not to plan any international travel until GC is in hand.
  12. Wow, so three different dates? Typically approval letter is dated same day as Resident Since on GC.
  13. Just to add to that point @MacPara According to https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/, El Paso processing time is currently within 8 months for 80% of cases.
  14. Every case is unique. I believe anything under 12 months is normal. Expecting interview within 3 months of filing is elevated expectation in my opinion.
  15. This is definitely not the usual course of things... I wonder what date GC will have. You'll have to be careful when applying for naturalization. Out of caution, I'd treat later date as the starting point of LPR status for determening when to apply for N-400
  16. ~ Moved thread to regional forum ~
  17. I'm not sure about changing signature, others can comment. But if you can now remove "Wife of" from your new passport, that's good.
  18. 1. That's OK, it takes time to establish life. 2. I wouldn't bother with it. The only question is, when was husband added to lease (if you have or had one)?
  19. 1. GE doesn't have direct connection to I-130. UK citizens can apply for GE. 2. No
  20. Is this a separate entry on bio page? Something like First Name: Jill Last Name: Brown Sex: F Wife of: Stanley ?
  21. You can renew passport, sure thing. Many people do it. You'd use new passport info in DS-160. What's up with "wife of"? What is it all about? Sorry this is not common in all countries.
  22. I was also on J-1 and other non-immigrant visa. The immigration lawyer who worked with me stressed the importance of maintaining my non-immigrant status. As far as I could tell, filing for adjustment in itself wasn't considered a violation, strictly speaking. Otherwise the answer to question about violating status would have been "yes" by merely filing I-485. This was answered as "no" on forms. I successfully adjusted, successfully removed conditions and successfully became a citizen. It was never questioned. Because I was on work visa with original employer, I never used EAD for employment. After I got GC, I updated I-9 with that document.
  23. I'd file AR-11. An LPR is required to file AR-11 whenever address changes. I'm not aware of any alternative ways of fulfilling this requirement, such as talking to CBP at POE. It does't hurt doing it online. It only takes a minute. You can save confirmation that's shown after submitting the request.
  24. Passports, any IDs issued by USCIS, children's birth certificates, house deed(s), lease agreement(s), certified copy of marriage certificate etc. If you had issues with laws, any paperwork related to that.
