    Only time will tell which one it is!

    Who interviewed you yesterday? Employer or USCIS? Define "accepted"?

    Keep us posted!

    These numbers never make any sense....

    No, you are still F-1 as long as you continue going to school or going through OPT and don't violate your status otherwise by dropping out of school or working outside of OPT. Maintaining status is a good idea. You need to be in valid status to adjust through employment. I assume "accepted" means your packet reached USCIS and you got receipt? Or do you mean I-485 is approved already?

    That was me. Did you have conditional GC? If yes, how soon after removing conditions did divorce occur? Was divorce pending while joint I-751 pending? These are important things

    Congrats! Unsolicited advice #1: make sure your husband updates status with SSA. Checkbox on N-400 form doesn't take care of it. Unsolicited advice #2: Let him apply for large passport book. It's same size but has more pages. It doesn't cost any extra to do it. Many countries charge extra for large passport books. It will ensure he won't run out of pages before passport expires. Even if he doesn't plan travelling too much, I can't see how having an option (which is free) is a bad thing.

    Same happened at my ceremony, though it was a different field office 😃

    Agreed, no other path available.

    Sure if would be flagged as fraud and scrutinized a lot. It's called "we believe your current marriage, but what about that first marriage you had to US citizen?" Additional point... K-1 visa holders can ONLY adjust status through marriage to person who sponsored them for K-1 visa. Not anybody else.

    If you know your case number, you can always check status here https://egov.uscis.gov/ without logging in to MyUSCIS. It is more reliable and convenient, at least for me.

    Depends whether vaccinations were completed!

    Have them with you, but don't volunteer them. Good luck!

    I brought all. Only gave new when asked for passports. One at a time as I'm a dual citizen. E.g. officer: can I see your passport? me: giving current passport from country A officer: do you have passport for country B? me: here it is (giving current passport B) At the same time few expired passports for country A and country B never left my pocket

    I see. My other country's passport of standard size was almost maxed out at the time of expiry. Mostly due to US visas etc. I don't think my new US passport will have even a third of pages used, unless I explore Asia and Africa more in the next decade. But then large book is a free upgrade, why not? Given same processing times. It's like saying no to all beatiful food at the buffet I hope it will remain the same price in the future. Only if they start charging more, I may go for regular one.

    Not really, doctor's hourly rate is too high to bother doing anything for under $200 in areas with high cost of living..
  18. OldUser
    Are you applying for a large passport book? Same price, more pages. Many countries charge more for them, but not US.
  19. OldUser
    Exactly. Always tell officer the truth. But you can frame this truth in nice way. By the way, I was never asked this question.

    I-865 is only filed when sponsor who previously filed I-864, moves addresses. Please clarify.
  21. OldUser
    Right. It's a random number generator. Just like in your case, it showed 3 weeks until decision on day of my oath.

    USCIS is mostly funded by fees, not funds allocated by congress. While it can be affected, it won't be as much as other agencies. I'd be more concerned about DOS and consulates affected.

    OP asked, so know they know it can be perceived as work. I agree, this is most likely won't be an issue. I guess my reply was more towards "everything is forgiven". This is a lot broader than question asked. If OP claimed to be US citizen to get work, while work is forgiven, false claim to citizenship isn't. I guess I wanted to highlight the fact not everything can be cured with marriage to US citizen and AOS. I'm sure you know this. I just want to remove ambiguity for somebody else who's reading this in the future.

    Not everything is forgiven. Failure to mention unauthorized work is not forgiven. Technically, one can get hit with misrep and this means getting waiver (if have good enough reason) or not getting status in the US.

    Congrats!
