  1. That's pretty expected. USCIS reviews entire immigration history and personal details / circumstances. Especially if this was N-400 under 3 year rule.
  2. Why would K-3 push I-130 approval? What's the rationale? I'd say don't waste your time and don't add more unnecessary work for USCIS which is already backlogged. 15-16 months is normal timeframe for I-130 as of day before yesterday.
  3. You can't apply for dad. Dad is the one applying. Most likely he'll have to go to interview. You don't have control over it.
  4. You're from Pakistan? What if new administration puts a ban for travel in the next few days? The choice is yours, I'd think hard before abandoning IR-1
  5. Here's recent example of somebody getting 221g on assets only:
  6. Not sure what I-30 is, but I-130 takes 15-16 months nowadays
  7. Agreed. May 2025 is the earliest you can expect @HVM. I'd say some time around July-August would not be unusual
  8. I'd start looking for a joint sponsor today. Assets are routinely ignored by USCIS. Tax return transcripts are needed regardless of whether sponsor had income or not. To give a figure, we need to know the household size of the sponsor.
  9. I don't see a direct correlation between productivity and working in the office to be honest. Now people are going to waste time commuting. Office chatter doesn't help working quicker either.
  10. Is that because she has other means to adjust or because marriage is not working? If the latter, I'd start with filing for divorce. Make sure to notify spouse if she's gonna be out of status so she can leave the US without breaking immigration laws. You can withdraw I-130 and I-864. Other petitions are hers.
  11. You would know better than us. We know nothing about his education, experience and sponsoring employer as well as the job.
  12. Very good question H4?
  13. If you're wealthy and have your own business, E2 visa or EB-5 route for GC.
  14. 2 years is from filing I-130 to getting visa. Typically, I-130 takes 14-16 months.
  15. Yes you're showing timelines of people who applied for N-400 before the elections. Those guys were processed super fast, it's an anomaly. It only happens before elections.
  16. MyProgress is the glitchiest thing with tons of outages. I'd ignore it completely. It's known to be going away occasionally.
  17. Can you share which office it is and where you found timelines? Also, did people file before or after elections? 2-4 months is extremely optimistic. I suspect most of N-400s will take 9+ months for filers filing now.
  18. I'm sure forms ask for all trips in the last 5 years and whether person ever visited Syria, North Korea et al. But successful travel to European countries doesn't mean approval for ESTA, in that regard it doesn't really matter.
  19. If you're a US citizen, yes, she can. It's the same process as adjustment of status for a spouse. Her overstay will be forgiven, but she has to be honest about it.
  20. By law you're not allowed to work without work authorization (EAD) or until you're LPR and have GC. At the same time, law says any unauthorized work will be forgiven if: - You honestly disclose it on forms and during interview - You're married to US citizen - You didn't have false claim to US citizenship (e.g. fooled employer / bank etc) saying you're a US citizen to get job / funds / other benefits
  21. Wife has the key to the kingdom. If she doesn't want to participate, nothing happens, sadly.
  22. This is super fast. I observed in many cases people waiting few weeks between USCIS receiving case and taking fees.
  23. It doesn't matter but some people get anxious when they don't hear for a month or two after filing. N-400s slowed down after election, I would expect majority of cases taking over 6 months now. In many instances, over a year.
