  1. I would have it but not offer / show it unless asked. Did you have kids in that marriage? Evidence related to supporting kids after divorce will be helpful in this case.
  2. It's not a big deal as this estimate is never accurate. You can roll a dice and get a better prediction. Also check https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
  3. This is so if USCIS sends a letter it will reach her. Considering the alphabet is pretty much the same (less accent marks) as English, you either leave it blank altogether or spell it out. Either way I don't think this is super important. If she was from China, it would be another matter.
  4. Self-employed / contractor and put all the details. Address - her home address unless she has an office.
  5. Yes, you put your last employment in the first employer box with dates.
  6. The form asks to complete these questions only if she's currently in the US. You leave them blank and continue answering question 39.
  7. Seems like you separated in 2020, and about 1.5-2 years prior to that, in 2018 you removed conditions? You should be fine. But be ready to answer a question or two about marriage. Of course, have you divorce decree handy too.
  8. You absolutely should attend. Worst case you can apply for emergency passport if you naturalize and need to travel soon.
  9. Interesting. I heard tax return transcripts also contribute towards "good moral character" requirement in a sense that a law abinding LPR always files taxes. Of course this is not verified info. Thank you for the data point. I think I'll upload mine when I apply for N-400 just in case.
  10. +100, 5 year rule is the way to go. No tax transcripts ever uploaded / asked for?
  11. Don't ever panic 😊 If after 8 weeks of delivery you don't hear anything, you can try sending another packet. Maybe send it with UPS / FedEx if you want to have proof of delivery. But 99% you'll get your receipt, it just takes forever for anything USCIS related nowadays. The only exception is N-400.
  12. It can take 4-6-8 weeks to get a letter from USCIS with case number. What does USPS status say? How do you know the packet was lost?
  13. Did you make any money? Do you not file jointly as a married couple? Why?
  14. This is not extraordinary. The estimated time is all wrong and doesn't report accurately for most users.
  15. I think you got it right. Just list them and say they won't be appling with you. It's much better to list and explain at the interview VS getting asked at the interview why you haven't listed them. This way you don't appear like you're hiding anything. If I recall correctly, the form asks to list ANY children you may have. This can be interpreted to include step children.
  16. 1. You're not in a process of changing status. You're adjusting status. 2. You need to be in valid status to adjust or change status. 3. What are the lawyers at the sponsoring company saying about this situation? The problem with renewing E2 petition is you'll have to declare whether anybody ever filed an immigrant petition to you. Once you declare it, you may not get a renewal.
  17. Nobody expects you to have joint banking or lease since you live in different countries. That type of evidence is needed when adjusting status, e.g. if she was in the US already.
  18. Do everything together. Because I-131 and I-765 depend on pending I-485, it's just easy to have them all together so they can be easily linked.
  19. If you wish but you don't have to. Unless you think there's possibility of missing flight / getting sick. Stamp would give you up to 1 year
  20. It depends. I heard stories of people receiving 10 year GC even after oath and becoming a US citizen 😃
  21. I totally get your point about N-400 but please don't discount the positive psychological effect of US citizen spouse being present when naturalizing under 3 year rule. VJ has stories suggesting IO being friendlier when US citizen spouse was around and occasionally more alert when they weren't. N-400 under 3 year rule suggests you still have to be living in bonafide marriage, and spouse taking time off to be at USCIS is a good evidence their relationship is strong.
  22. Yes, you get visa from the embassy in your passport. CBP then endorses it (stamps it) as you enter the US.
  23. I'd think the safest thing would be holding off visiting the US until you get CR-1 visa in passport. Travelling on ESTA after interview may confuse CBP and create all sorts of delays / scrutiny at the border. If you already got the CR-1 visa, you don't need ESTA. Just enter with CR-1.
  24. Agreed with your attorney. Some long names just don't physically fit on paperwork.
  25. Where did you get this info from? Of course they do have the biometrics chip. You can even see logo on front cover. Image from wikipedia but I've seen US passports in person many times.
