    Yes you can No

    Keep us updated please. There's no doubt somebody else will face same issue in the future. Your experience would be super valuable to them.

    It seems like you already changed your legal name. You don't have to do it multiple times if you did it in your home country. Just use married name on N-400 form.

    This case doesn't look good at all for I-751. USCIS is most likely presuming immigration fraud... What all evidence do you have for marriage between 2016 and 2020?

    The big plus of marrying overseas is that the significant other's family can be present at the wedding. Not everybody can get visas and travel go the US for the wedding.

    I'd think OP would be a co-sponsor, not joint sponsor, if he and his wife file taxes together.

    Typically, 4-6 weeks from mailing date. If it arrived today, you'll hopefully get a mail in 2-3 weeks. May take longer than that too.

    Because USCIS IT systems are pretty bad? Did you check online status yourself for your case? Is it up to date? G-1145 is known to be working half of the time.

    All sorts of assets can be placed in trusts. It wasn't super clear whether your primary residence was owned by trust.
  10. OldUser
    Otherwise evidence looks good and sufficient to me. As far as I understand, you already own a house and hence don't have lease with both names on it?

    I recommend sending tax return transcripts, downloadable from IRS website

    I don't see a basis for GE ending when conditional GC expires. You remain LPR and you have extension letter. Yes, you may need to see human when reentering on these docs. But it doesn't mean you cannot use GE line which is shorter than regular line.

    I bet in person visit is needed.
  14. OldUser
    Not true. I was a conditional resident. I got GE when I was on work visa, prior to getting 2 year GC. I successfully travelled on conditional GC using GE and since then I got 10 year GC and travelled on GE without issue. My membership remained active all this time. I renewed it once (without interview) when I was a conditional resident just because the 5th year of membership.

    The top of the page literally says with yellow warning: "The information on this page is out of date."

    Adjust from what? OP is LPR. How can LPR adjust status?
  17. OldUser
    Great! There's many opposite stories when people didn't bring their spouse and were grilled at the interview asking where their spouse was. It's always best to be on a safe side

    Why all caps? This can be viewed as shouting at a VJ member. You can try getting stamps, but it gets difficult as USCIS is reluctant to give any stamps when you have no pending case with them. Looping @mindthegap here as a member with most experience navigating several I-751 denials. No matter what you do at this point, prior marriage that gave you GC will haunt you until you prove it was real.

    Estimates are known to be incorrect across the board for all types of cases. You can safely ignore them. Recent example : You can search on VJ and find that most likely nobody ever had a good estimate on MyUSCIS

    Go to Documents section tab and find the docs. There should be NOA1 there

    To naturalize, it'll likely take close to 5 years from now even with K-1 route. Let's produce an optimistic estimate. * K-1 approval - 6 months * Visa Interview, visa issuance - 3 months. * AOS - 6 months * 3 years as LPR before filing for N-400. Assuming she still has pending I-751 at that point when becoming eligible to file for natualization. * N-400 processing - 8 months. Total: 6 months + 3 months + 6 months + 36 months + 8 months = 59 months, which is give or take 5 years from start to finish if you file today. But again, this is very optimistic. I've seen AOS taking easily 12-18 months and N-400 taking 12+ months. So overall it could be close to 5.5 years
  22. OldUser
    Both of the estimates you posted are very optimistic. It's more like 2 years for CR-1 and 9-12 months for K-1. But K-1 estimate is only time until entry to the US. To get GC, K-1 will take additional 6-18 months after entry to the US. Plus things will likely slow down very soon with new administration.

    The more proof, the better. Things may get stricter after Jan 20.
  24. OldUser
    In 6 months, will the trip be in the 5 year lookback period or not? I would not reapply, if you get denied, until this trip doesn't have to be listed. Unless you're hoping to sponsor somebody for immigration benefit, or get job requiring US citizenship, or travel to destination that requires visa now, but not for US passport holders, or planning to spend 6+ months overseas again... I would wait 8 months now. Things will likely get stricter from January 20th. Whatever worked before may be harder to prove now. It's your choice afterall. Good luck!
  25. OldUser
    On the other hand, N-400 can take 6-12 months only to find yourself in a hot spot and potential denial. But since you kept lease and filed taxes, I think you should be OK convincing officer that you didn't abandon residence. Again, it may not be the simplest case if officer is very particular about travel, but it is approvable in my opinion.
