  1. You're suggesting lying on N-400 form to avoid uncomfortable questions? That's a risky strategy. I applied under 5 year rule and despite of that was asked whether I ever lived separately from my spouse at any point by officer. What would OP say? You really cannot lie under oath! OP has to face questions, whether comfortable or not. Truth won't disqualify him, he's applying under 5 year rule. Lie can cause a big problem.
  2. He should absolutely list address at which he lived for 1.5 years. Sure, he didn't change address with USCIS or DMV, but I doesn't matter. Question asks about addresses where he lived, not addresses where he pretended to live.
  3. There's always people whose cases get approved faster or slower. When I submitted my I-751, the estimated time was 7 months. It took 20.5 months. The funny part, a friend who is similar age as me, same immigration history, similar job etc submitted case 2 weeks later than me, and got approved 3-4 months faster than me. But there were people who waited even longer than me around same time. You'll get your approval, it's the last stretch 😊
  4. There's nothing to worry about. The estimates mean nothing. Any case under 12 months is within normal processing times. Good luck!
  5. It shouldn't. It's a valid request. Some officer's just don't have full authority over case and have to get approval from a higher up
  6. You weren't approved on spot in my view. On spot means status was updated within few hours. Like when I went through AOS, my case status was updated within 2 hrs and card was sent to production on same or next day.
  7. This means you weren't approved yet. Hopefully you'll get approval within few days.
  8. Recommended by whom? I recommend the opposite - monthly statements. The lawyers I worked with on my AOS and I-751 recommended monthly over quarterly statements. I-751 instructions specifically ask for as much documents establishing bonafide marriage as possible. With online submission, there'S even nothing to print. So argument that it's expensive etc does't work. Just clicking the button to upload files
  9. So Bahamas are in the same camp as Canada, e.g. citizens don't need visa. Looks like a mistake was made automatically admitting you as B2 based on nationality. I wouldn't think this could present a big issue, since it wasn't your issue. You always presented yourself as LPR.
  10. FOIA takes time. So you did show GC in 04/2023? Or where you waved through? What citizenship do you have? Do you spend majority of time in the US or outside?
  11. This is typical. If you prepare and bring a lot of evidence - you're never asked much. It's folks coming emptyhanded and unprepared who get grilled the most
  12. Right, saying A and application and B in the interview is a fraud indicator... If one needs to correct mistakes it's one thing. But if they just say random stuff to officer, that's bad.
  13. Entry as B2 when you're LPR is a bit strange. Did you not show GC when entering the US?
  14. Does he want to be together? Is desire to be together stronger than his desire not to travel? For either route you need to meet and spend some time together.
  15. Sorry about denial. It takes 2-8 weeks to get a physical letter in the mail. You may consider going CR-1 route instead. I'd wait for letter to know the reason first. Maybe you or your spouse weren't free to marry in the eyes of USCIS
  16. Is it she or he who's applying? Sometimes saying "no" is actually more help than saying yes and helping. I'll pick this route instead of playing Chinese whisperers game. Good luck!
  17. Sorry can't recommend any particular software but there's many options if you search
  18. Consular officials may ask all sorts of questions about your parents, you or your relationship. Surely officer can ask parents about how you got your GC if they feel like it.
  19. Let's pause here... Don't ever ask generative AI (ChatGPT, Grok, Microsoft Copilot etc) questions about immigration. It's too important question to ask AI... Recently a couple from EU were denied boarding to Puerto Rico because ChatGPT told them they can travel visa free. What it forgot to tell them, they needed ESTA
  20. 1. Sure, unless you hit some limit in online form. Then you can combine few PDF into one file if too many files for the system. 2. Use Google Sheet or something similar. Past 3 pics per page with description. All photos can be in one file. Then export it to PDF
  21. Might be a new thing. I never went to secondary as conditional LPR on a number of trips I took. But it was few years back. I had extension letter too...
  22. Are you a lawyer? Petitioner can file the form themselves and avoid errors made by third party
