    Just like with many things in life, just because you can doesn't mean you should. As an example, I can technically go and purchase a new car today after getting a loan. But whether I should is another question... If you upload evidence, what confirmation do you get to prove you uploaded it? If later USCIS server lags and erases your upload, how can you prove you replied? If IO decides not to check online uploads since instructions tell you to reply by mail, what whould happen? With mail you can have proof of sending and proof of delivery. Good luck!

    Asylum?

    Send certified copy with RFE response using UPS / FedEx today with next day delivery.

    Both normal. If you search threads, there were few reported approvals this week. Some from 2021 and some from 2022. Most of cases approved are either from those years or few lucky ones fron 2024. Hang in there, I'm sure you'll hear about your husband's N-400 soon. When you say "no movement", do you literally mean nothing on the case? If he received receipt and biometrics reuse, that's already a lot of movement for one month.

    You can disregard it

    At least not "who supplies the banknotes for bills to become laws". That would be an ackward one!
  7. OldUser
    You should. Unfortunately even US citizens have to deal with SSA 😅

    What an amazing story, congratulations! I think uploading request for combo as you file N-400 is the best, because it gives a lot of heads up to USCIS. Sounds like a happy end, don't forget to stop by VJ 😃

    If it was up to me, I'd include the fees for I-131 and I-765 in I-485 fees and make them mandatory. There's many stories of people living in misery and financial hardship for few years as well as missing the important events (illnesses or deaths of close ones overseas) because no forms were filed...

    +1 $260 can be earned very quickly by your spouse so EAD will pay itself off. If your spouse receives it in 6 months, they can work for 5-6 months while waiting for GC. And get DL etc

    2. When my lawyer filed AOS, they submitted scans of all passport pages. 3. Submit certified copy, it's easy to order many more. 4. Can submit later if receive RFE. Was the medical completed with all vaccinations? Is it still valid? 5. Read https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/tips-for-filing-forms-by-mail 6. It can take a year or longer to get GC. No plans to work meanwhile? What if somebody gets sick back home, would the spouse be OK not leaving the US? It's not like you can get EAD / AP quickly. It takes months.

    You're correct about this one too. Though it doesn't mean somebody can get spend as much time outside of the US as they wish. Few weeks / months a year is OK. However, LPR is expected to live in the US for majority of time (ideally 9+ months and definitely over 6 months). Otherwise they cannot naturalize and may lose GC.
  13. OldUser
    You're correct about choice for US citizens. It's not a choice for LPR, as living outside the US puts this status at risk.

    If the Resident Since on your GC is 03/28/2022, you can apply for citizenship under 3 year rule on 03/28/2025 minus 90 days, which is 12/28/2025. Considering it's a Saturday, I'd just apply the first week of January 2025. Make sure you have at least 18 months of presence in the US, never had trips over 6 months and your marriage is strong and bonafide. E.g. you never separated from your US citizen spouse etc. They also need to be a US citizen for at least 3 years when you apply.
  15. OldUser
    Sorry about that... Yeah one of the main reasons to become a US citizen is to never deal with USCIS again (unless sponsoring somebody else).
  16. OldUser
    There's always a risk but it's hard to predict. As you spend more time in the US, the risk goes down.
  17. OldUser
    You need to calculate days in the US since April 2022. If you'll have less than 18 months when you try applying, you'll have to wait until you have physical presence under 3 or 5 year rule.

    No AOS => No I-864 => No I-865
  19. OldUser
    No need to get new card, but immigration status may need to be updated at SSA.
  20. OldUser
    Not getting social security benefits or incorrect immigration status when performing I-9 verification... It's not worth risking it.
  21. OldUser
    Unlikely, but you may be asked to sign an affidavit your GC and other docs were not sold / transfered to someone else / misused. What did you do with EAD, GC, other docs? Did you destroy them / toss them?
  22. OldUser
    4-8 weeks is a reasonable turnaround time for USCIs
  23. OldUser
    Sorry to hear it. Yes, credit cards declining is a common issue.
  24. OldUser
    Form I-90 is used to replace GC. It can take a while to get it fixed. No interview will be required as far as I know.
  25. OldUser
    Why didn't you include I-864 in AOS packet? This is a vital form. AOS won't progress without it and certainly cannot be approved. No reason to file I-865 since you haven't established sponsorship yet.
