So I understand that these questions are repetitive so I appreciate you taking your time on mine.

 

MY INFO :    My Conditional Resident Card says I am a Resident since : 6/9/15  the Expiration was on 06/09/17 

My I-751 was received on June 5, 2017 (we had so much stuff going we were almost late, but got it in before the expiration date) I received the year extension letter from them and have heard NOTHING back.

 

SO, that means that my residency expires on  06/09/18 correct? and only if I am going to travel, change jobs or renew my DL I don't have to do anything...correct?

If I were to travel, after/before the exp. date I must get a stamp that will serve as a kind of validation of my status, but is there a time frame to getting one? like do I have to get the stamp before certain date because I couldn't after that? 

 

I have read about applying for your citizenship with the N-400 but I'm not sure I  really understood  hahaha.  I read that it was 3 years after the Permanent Residency so does that mean that  I would be eligible  6/9/18 ???

If so does that have some kind of time frame as of when after I can apply? like 90 days after or something like that???

 

if you have articles or if you can direct me to a similar question to mine please post it here! 

 

I appreciate you!

I will break this up to better help you and someone else that may read this.

 

Yes, your residency will expire on that date and if you have not gotten a GC near to that date you can make a Infopass appt to renew the extension letter and get the stamp in your passport. You have to get the stamp before your extension letter is up.

 

You can apply for Naturalization with the N-400 anytime AFTER the 6/9/2018 as long as you are still married to your petitioner due to the 3 year rule, and 5 years if your divorced. You can have two petitions going at the same time such as the N-400 and the ROC, and this is actually quite a common thing to do. You just have to be in a valid status in order to apply for Naturalization, which you are in a valid status.

Technically the N400 window opens 90 days prior to the 6/9 date

No. Your proof of status/residency expires then, not the status itself

Nope.

Nope. You can get it before expiry (typically in the 30 days before) after expiry (anytime), or choose not to get it at all.

Nope. If still living in marital union (which is not the same as being married), they can apply at any time from 90th day BEFORE that date.

CR1 / DCF (London): 2012 / 2013 (4 months from I-130 petition to visa in hand)

I-751 #1- April 2015 [Denied]

 

April 2015 : I-751 Joint filing package sent fedex next day 09:00am from UK ($lots - thanks). 
Jan 2017: Notification that an interview has been scheduled at a local office. Bizarrely still no RFE... 
Jan 2017: 2hr wait, then interview terminated before it began, due to moving my ID to another state 2 wks prior. New interview 'in a few months...maybe.'   Informed them that divorce proceedings are underway, but not finalised at this time. 
March 2017: An Interview was scheduled - marked as no-show as they didn't actually send out a notification of interview. FML 
April  2017: Filed an official complaint with the ombudsman, and have requested Senator & Congressman assistance
August 2017: Interview - switched to a (finalised) divorce waiver. Told that decision will be made that afternoon, but no problems foreseen with my case. 
October 2017: Letter of Denial received - reason given as 'I-751 petition was not properly filed'. Discovered ex-spouse made false allegations to USCIS in 2015. No opportunity given to review & refute allegations  - contrary to USCIS policy.

I-751 #2 - Oct 2017 - Mar 2021[Denied] 

 

October 2017: Within 72hrs of receiving denial notice, a new waiver I-751, divorce decree & $680 cheque, sent to Vermont via FedEx overnight 9am priority.  
Dec 2019: Filed FOIA request for full A# file
Feb 2020: FOIA request completed - entire A# file received as a .PDF; 197 pages fully redacted, and 80 partially redacted. Don't waste your time!
March 2021: I-751 #2 denied for lack of evidence. No RFE, no interview, and evidence in previous I-751 not reviewed - contrary to policy. Huge errors in adjudication.

N-400 - Feb 2018 - Apr 2021 [Denied]

 

February 2018: N-400 filed online.  $725 paid to the USCIS paperwork wastage fund

February  2019: Interview - cancelled after a four hour wait due to 'missing paperwork' on their end. Promised Expedited reschedule.

March 2021: Interview letter received, strangely dated after I-751 denial. No I-751 interview conducted. N-400 interview and test passed, given 'cannot make a decision at this time' paper due to the ongoing I-751 nightmare...

April 2021: N-400 denial received citing recent I-751 denial as basis for ineligibility, even though it should have been a combo interview 🤯

I AM JACK'S COMPLETE LACK OF SURPRISE

Service Motion - March 2021 [Sent via FedEx & COMPLETELY IGNORED by USCIS]

 

March 2021: Service Motion request sent overnight addressed direectly to field office director, requesting urgent review and re-opening, based on errors in adjudication - citing USCIS policy, AFM and memorandums as basis for errors. This was completely ignored by USCIS.

 I-751 #3 - June 2021 - Jan 2024 [Denied]

 

IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY

June 2021: I-751 #3 (30+lbs/5000 pages of paperwork) & another $680 sent to USCIS via FedEx ($300+..thanks) .... 

June 2021: Receipt issued, card charged, biometrics waived, infopass scheduled for I-551 stamp number ten.....

Feb 2022: RFIE (no, not an RFE, a Request For Initial Evidence) received, for copies of the divorce paperwork that they already have 😑

July 2022: Infopass for I-551 stamp number eleven.....

August 2023: Infopass for I-551 stamp number twelve....

January 2024: Denial received, ignoring the overwhelming majority of the filing, abundance of evidence, and refutation of a provably false allegation. The denial also contradicts itself in multiple places, as if it was written by someone with an IQ <50.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

2024: FML. Seriously. I'm done.

Add three years to your ‘resident from’ date on your GC.

Subtract exactly 90 days from that date.

You can apply at any time from that date.

OH THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 

GOOD LUCK! I HOPE ALL GOES WELL! I'm thrilled to know this. I literally had no clue I was eligible. I strangely believed I had to wait 3 years AFTER I got my Conditions removed, so you can imagine my shock! lol!

You became eligible on 03/10/2018 because you can apply 90 days before your 3rd year GC anniversary. You can apply online and even pay with a credit card. It's actually easy.
