    Wait a minute. Is your wife applying for I-751? Because this is the step she cannot skip. When wife applies for I-751 she can include her daughter in petition to remove conditions together.
  2. OldUser
    Yes, generally this is true, if stepdaughter is LPR

    Yes, good catch @Crazy Cat I meant IR-1. CR-1 is visa. CR-6 is category on GC after somebody adjusts status in the US. Thank you for this correction.

    According to guidelines, anything above $67,687 for household of 8 is OK. Does 8 include immigrants being sponsored? I'm not 100% sure how calculation works after 8. https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p Also, hopefully it's about I-864, I'm not familiar with form 1864

    You can certainly request it, and hopefully somebody will look into it. This is not much different to K-3 / K-4 visas which in theory anybody can apply for, but only 3 or 5 visas a year are issued. It's on paper, but not available realistically (I imagine thousands apply)

    It's nothing to do with U4U. Typically expedite requests are related to health issues / mental issues of a US citizen or hardship caused to US citizen, not beneficiaries. You can certainly try, but don't get your hopes up. In some cases people were suffering from cancer and still their expedite requests were denied.

    CR-1 maybe? CR-1 holders don't remove conditions because they're married for over 2 years when they got GC. CR-6 holders have to file I-751 to remove conditions within of their 2 year card expiration No issues

    ChatGPT or any AI cannot be trusted. Frankly, nobody can predict exactly, because it's to do with your case and there's human factor.

    The less, the better. Green card is for living in the US. There's no clear math, but stays abroad for over 6 months reset clock for naturalization and over 1 years significantly increase chances of losing GC

    Translated - yes, professionally - no, notarized - no Translator, however needs to be proficient in English and other language and certify translation by writing a statement. I used an online agency for translation, there's many affordable ones. My reasons were: - They do translations professionally and know how to do it - They have all necessary templates - They're a third neutral party between USCIS and petitioner. So nobody doubts translations are valid and not made up to get immigration benefit

    At NVC stage AFAIK NVC stage comes into play once I-130 petition is approved by USCIS, which takes about 17 months today. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/affidavit-of-support.html

    Kind of weird, when USCIS accept documents including I-693, they do not return them. Calls are great, but at least names of agents to be included, otherwise it's hard to prove you ever called. What was $1050 fee for? I-485 fee is $1440

    No adjustment of status is needed when your parents enter on immigrant visas. You only need to pay immigrant fee (aka Elis fee) to get them green cards. The moment they enter the US on immigrant visas, they are permanent residents. Their endorsed visas serve as proof of LPR status for 1 year while they wait for physical green cards.

    It's not unusual. Anything under 12 months is fast in my opinion, considering how long N-400 takes historically, not just recently
  15. OldUser
    They do issue it, effectively they fill form SS-5 for card replacement. I received mine not long ago by mail. Also didn't need it as I have the same card with no restrictions since I became a conditional LPR. The good news is, it doesn't count towards 10 card in a lifetime limit.

    Make sure to include birth certificates of children listing you and spouse. It's good evidence

    US allows dual citizenship. You just can't travel on old passport because US requires its citizens to leave and enter the US on passport. Good luck!
  18. OldUser
    It's about quality, not quantity. The only downside I see, you could have had joint brokerage, checking or savings accounts. Otherwise evidence is solid. Good luck!

    No other way I know of. It may take some time to gather enough people or process backlog before you get scheduled. Month is not a record. I'd start worrying 3 months after interview
  20. OldUser
    Generally, it's not an issue. Typically passport can be replaced and issuing country normally returns old passport after invalidating it. Tourist visa in old passport along with new passport (without visa in it) allows travelling to the US.

    She could've / should've updated name on passport after she married and changed name. The green card may have different name to her passport name, this is common when people don't update passport. While a bit messy, it's not the end of the world. General recommendation is carrying marriage certificate to explain discrepancy of names on passport and GC.

    It's about updating status with SSA. When you do it, new SS card is issued. Of course, SSN remains the same. Yes I had to go to SSA because magical automatic update no longer works
  23. OldUser
    Did she take your last name when she married your or she didn't? She didn't have to. But if she did, she can use married name. If she never took your last name, she can continue using her maiden name.

    I checked same box on N-400, but a month after status didn't update with SSA. 99% you'll have to get an appointment with them. For GE, you can update status online. I found it very easy. Biggest problem with passport is finding availability with acceptance facility. Walk in windows were very small and inconvenient for me, so I had to search multiple places and dates for appointment...

    Congrats! Please stick around for others if you can have you updated status with SSA?
