    Doesn't hurt

    I don't recommend trusting MyProgress estimates. It's never accurate.
  3. OldUser
    Agreed, 17-18 is more like it
  4. OldUser
    No estimates are accurate
  5. OldUser
    Yes, it is sadly outdated. Not sure how to propose edits to it. I-131 and I-765 are no longer free.

    Awesome news @top_secret! So essentially, you clicked the link above and selected "Update documents in my account"? The just uploaded bio page of US passport? Was there anything else you uploaded or did?

    No plans to file N-400? He could have naturalized by now if filed N-400 in 2024, year later after his I-751.

    Unless you had joint lease etc you didn't live together. Short visits don't count.

    I think games with taxes is what causes USCIS ask for joint sponsors, ask for more docs and the latest tax return transcripts. If we all recommend to be transparent and honest with government dealing with immigration, then why do we have this double standard when it comes to taxes? IMHO if married, I'd always recommend filing as MFS or MFJ. If it means inconvenience and paying more to government for that year - so be it. Filing single when married is tax fraud really...

    Ideally, context should be provided. After all, adjudicator is a stranger who never saw or met you. The most valuable pics are of couple with their relatives and friends. With more than 2 people on photo it becomes challenging to understand who is who.

    Average time for I-130 is 17 months nowadays. So you're few months away from hearing something.

    What's the living arrangement? Do you have joint lease? Do you both contribute and use money from joint account? Can he add you to his health insurance (since it's risky to be uninsured in the US and it's good evidence)?

    Single is not an option when you're married. Also, it's smaller tax break when filing as single, not sure why you want to shoot yourself in the leg immigration and tax wise.

    Do you want to test your luck? I didn't have any prior issues with law and still had a lawyer filing AOS and present at my interview.

    Then submitting more shouldn't be an issue? You're not printing anything
  17. OldUser
    You're uploading digitally, right? Or you're filing on paper?

    N-400 cannot be approved without I-751 approval. It's not guaranteed, but usually N-400 makes USCIS decide both cases together
  19. OldUser
    Depends on your comfort level. There's been cases when officer said "We don't have your I-751 file" or "We don't have enough evidence", e.g sometimes USCIS loses evidence. If you bring everything, you'll be bulletproof. At the same time, you may be never asked for much evidence going back.

    Then everything proving bonafide marriage, such as: - Tax return transcripts showing you filed taxes jointly - Joint lease(s) and or mortgage statements - Utility bills in both names - Joint bank account statements - Copies of IDs / DLs showing same address - Birth certificates of any children born in this marriage - Flight and hotel reservations showing both names - Receipts for big purchases showing both names - Car and/or health insurance policies showing both names - Wills listing spouses - Printouts of retirement plans / brokerage accounts showing spouse is listed as beneficiary - Affidavits from friends and family - Joint memberships - Many more

    Are you filing under 3 year rule (marriage to US citizen) or under 5 year rule (general provision)?

    Here's thread for February 2025 filers :

    Check the case status in electronic system
  24. OldUser
    Old cases got migrated to electronic system with change to case numbers. You now need a new case number to check status. The petitioner should have received mail telling about this change. Was address updated with USCIS every time petitioner moved?

    Be ready for combo. Take US citizen spouse with you.
