    Uploading copy of DS-3025 is recommended, but not required
  2. OldUser
    DS-3025 is sufficient if all vaccinations were completed and vaccination part is checked as completed.

    This is fraud... VJ won't support discussing such things. USCIS will look into her first marriage and won't approve second / third / fourth I-130 if they suspect fraud.

    This case won't get approved. If beneficiary is called into the interview they'll have to explain why their USC spouse isn't with them.

    To be fair, some are naturally born US citizens raised in Spanish speaking families for example...

    On latest N-400 form there's a checkbox allowing USCIS to automatically notify SSA about citizenship status change. The discussion is about that service

    4. AFAIK most retirement accounts are not joint. Adding spouse as beneficiary helps for sure. And not just for immigration, in general it's good. What if you pass away etc. At least spouse will have easy access to funds. 7 - It's not something I'd do for immigration, but only if need it generally.

    6 - no concern. What about medical insurance? This one is important. Especally good if both spouses covered.

    9 - would you conceive just for I-751? I wouldn't 5 - Absolutely not
  12. OldUser
    8 - not required, but won't hurt. I submitted for my I-751 10 - No impact
  13. OldUser
    11 - No

    3. As much evidence of financial comingling as possible. This is the most important evidence. I-751 instructions ask for evidence from start of marriage to date of filing

    That's OK. Most of the time it's a system glitch and doesn't mean much. Keep an eye on it, sometimes it gets followed by RFE or approval. But I-130s cases get processed within 17 months, so 6 months is too early typically...

    I'd say yes. Somebody organized the protest and asked people to join. Lawyer's input is highly recommended. I wouldn't do this case myself.

    I'd recommend involving a lawyer at this point. I also wouldn't go to interview without a lawyer, this doesn't seem like a DIY case. You're looking at potential material misrepresentation and inadmissibility based on that. That's great, but USCIS still needs to know whether she was ever arrested, detained, charged etc. Even expunged records need to be disclosed to USCIS. I think she can write an affidavit explaining everything, if she doesn't and can't produce any papers. One more thing to note. Just because everything was OK for DS-160 and K-1 doesn't mean USCIS won't make it issue later during I-485, I-751 and N-400. There are known cases when only at N-400 USCIS would find issue and claim that Green Card was given in error. Each stage of immigration is chance for USCIS to review entire immigration history. So being open and upfront with USCIS is the key to securing trouble free future. It may mean immediate problems and waivers involved at this time around though.

Good luck to everybody still waiting. Your time will eventually come!

    $750 is all you need to pay if your kids are included in form and removing conditions with you. Just file a new one, as current one will be rejected again.

    Is wife applying for her Philippines citizenship to be reinstated?
  21. OldUser
    Nah, don't be afraid of new world and its Z's ! 😃 Even American English spellchecker underlines "s" as a misspelling. I naturalized in a country they used British way of spelling, so all my prior docs and college work has "s". But I easily switched to "z" when coming here and it was the best decision ever 🤠 Z is a statement in a way What I struggle with personally is "do nut!" (or wait, "donut") VS doughnut. Color vs Colour. Aluminum vs Aluminium

    I don't know how though... 1) After naturalizing you receive a folder with information. One paper in it is printout of things you need to do after becoming citizen, including updating status at SSA 2) USCIS person mentioned it during ceremony specifically 3) This website also tells to do it: https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship-resource-center/new-us-citizens But I guess after being told by 3 different sources to do it, some people still don't know. Sigh...
  23. OldUser
    Yes you can. It's not a single entry doc. One or two years. Few times. After that your residency will be questioned. The most important question is... If there's travel ban for Pakistan imposed, can you afford to stay outside the US for a long time?
  24. OldUser
    Congratulations ! Welcome to the club! Nice combos 😃 Now, to the final test... Question 101 of civics test. Is it naturalisation or naturalization? Joking of course 😃 Please stick around a little longer to help VJ folks who're yet to become citizens if you can
  25. OldUser
    That's what happened in my case. I think at 2.5 months mark after filing? Need to check timeline, it happened so fast.
