  1. Assuming you: - Entered with valid visa and was inspected - Married to US citizen spouse - Not in removal proceedings - Never had a false claim to citizenship or other inadmissability - Living with your spouse in marital union - Apply for I-485 You will get 10 year GC if approved.
  2. What do you mean by lost? Did you get denied?
  3. No it might be late to request it then. You could have uploaded a letter in evidence section yesterday as you were submitting the N-400. I recommend writing the letter and uploading as soon as possible. The sooner USCIS is aware, the better, so they can prepare for combo.
  4. I'm pretty sure the medical requirements are similar for K-1 vs CR-1? Immigrant may delay certain vaccinations during K-1 but they'd be required to complete it for AOS. Do you mind sharing more if not too personal?
  5. Sorry you're in this situation. What does the lawyer (are you sure they are a real lawyer?) say? I'd pack bags, leave, and get visa from overseas. You'll have to disclose overstaying in every application now unfortunately.
  6. Make sense! Even though I have Real ID DL, when I become a citizen I'll get a passport card along with passport. It doesn't cost that much, but it's easy to carry and it will be the third proof of citizenship (after Naturalization Certificate and passport book).
  7. No problem at all. Passport is passport, it's good for crossing any border. Passport card can only be used for some land border crossings and cruises.
  8. Not all. Passport card is pretty much waterproof and credit card size. Passport book is not waterproof and larger.
  9. YMMV - your mileage may vary. It's good to be there just in case.
  10. To add: it's possible you don't get the option if you apply for emergency passport. Did you do that @Laure&Colin?
  11. It's optional. It is another proof of US citizenship, size of credit card.
  12. When you apply for passport you have an option to get a regular passport or large book. The only difference, the large has way more pages, so you won't run out of them as quickly. It's the same price.
  13. Congrats! Did you get a regular or large passport book? Did you get a passport card too or just passport?

  15. Not an expert, but it doesn't seem he qualifies, because no government is paying for his visit.
  16. Consider yourself lucky 🙂 Occasionally USCIS adjudicates cases the way they should do it for everybody. Now thinking about I-751s, many take 2-3 years. But it's nothing in comparison to some asylum cases stuck since 2015
  17. It's impossible to predict with certainty whether you're going to be approved without interview or not. Imagine you're going through airport security. This is similar experience in terms of predictibility. I don't fully understand why you paused your life because of immigration though. Good luck!
  18. Thanks for the data point. I've seen reports of people having issues boarding planes / renewing DLs / removing restrictions from SS card using copies of I-797 and not the watermarked letters. These were the use cases I meant. Good to know some USCIS places accept copies.
  19. It won't be fast for an adult child either way unfortunately. Let's hope nothing happens after November. I might be filing later in 2024 or early 2025 myself...
  20. You're right assuming it might be a combo interview. Make sure your US citizen spouse comes with you. You should definitely print tax return transcripts and have them with you. You may want to bring all other evidence to be absolutely bullet proof. It's hard to predict what would happen on the day. People report bringing all the evidence and not being asked for any. People also bring bare minimum and get asked to produce evidence on the spot. It all depends on your comfort level. I personally don't mind spending extra to print docs and bring them to the interview. Others may think it's unnecessary or wasteful.
