RFE N400

[Vanepu 0]

Hi

I had and passed my interview on 10/27/2011.

At the interview the officer got confused about my ins and out of the country for the past 5 years.

the officer stated that she might need additional information in order to approve my case.

the same day I received an email asking for RFE, asking for copies of my passport (that I have already submitted) and to complete agian page 4 of the N400 form, as well as any air plane itinerary I might have (of course I had none).

I completed the page4, copied my passport and went dirrectly to the USCIS office myself were I was interviewed 7 days earlier.

Today it has been almost a week since I submitted the papers they requested and I am now worried about this.

Does anybody knows how long it can take before the officer sees my file agian?

Should I call? or Go?

I am desperate since I need to file for my husband's I-130 ASAP.

please can somebody give me some information?

Thanks

You can call them and find out what is going on. If you are really concerned, you can make infopass appointment.

You must have been out of the U.S. quite a lot, it seems, if the I.O. needs to have a closer look.

You can file an I-130 today. You don't have to wait until you have become a U.S. citizen.

Yes I have.

Long story short I was pregnant and got complicated with my pregnancy while abroad and had to deliver in Costa Rica and had to stay there for a long time (never more than 6 months in a row though).

I am pretty sure I have stayed the 30 months needed in the past 5 years (since becoming a LPR) in order to qualified to become US citizen but she (Inmigration officer) was not very sure about it and needed to re doing the whole counting and verification again.

I filed a I130 for my son born abroad and it has taken 2 years to have him become a US resident.

I think I would rather file I130 for my husband once I hopefully become a US citizen don't you think?

Wife was advised to wait until she got her citizenship to petition for her unmarried son as it was taking nine years back then as an LPR. She waited, but that time greatly decreased. Current processing time now is the same as a US citizen as it is for a LPR. So in effect, she lost three long years. To make matters worse, the current administration is not the least bit interested in Latin America. Recall from my geography, that is where Costa Rica is at. For more interested in Africa, not sure why, and the middle east, even less sure why.

In the processing site, one time its 6 months, next day its 5+ years, sure can't rely amount that, then dealing with the USCIS, DOS, and the NVC. Only good advice I can give you is to get your hands on a good crystal ball. But your spouse does have #1 priority whatever that means. I would apply now and update your status when you get your citizenship.

What about your trips out of the country greater than 24 hours. Did you do a good job of filling that out? Then your days out of the country in the last five years? Since all these totals are there, not only you can determined if you exceeded the maximums, but your IO should have been able to do that at a glance.

Good luck is getting a decent competent IO, but they seem to be a rare breed lately.
