US Immigration from Australia

Hi all!
Almost two years ago I submitted my I-751 Removal of Conditions paperwork with the waiver form for individuals who divorced before the two year cut off. I just received an RFE for the divorce decree, I think this may be due to having sent in my judgment of dissolution which is an alternative to the divorce decree in California for more simplistic divorces. I will be clarifying this in my response.

I am, however, nervous that with this delay my application will now be processed during Trump's presidency which it appears will be marked by significant immigration reform leading to increases in denials. I imagine cases like mine, where the marriage didn't last the minimum required time of two years, would be some of the first to be denied.

My current partner and I have been together for over three years and are engaged and I am wondering if it would be wise getting married sooner rather than later as an additional protective measure?

Hi,

I received a letter regarding my biometric interview on December 31st, 2024. However, I was in California and received the letter once I returned to Florida. I never got an email regarding the interview schedule, so I missed the interview.

I called today to reschedule, and he said that if USCIS believes I haven't abandoned my case they will reschedule an interview in 30 days and I leave the country back to Australia in 2 weeks for 3 weeks! Will I be able to re-enter America when I return? Gives me so much anxiety after the nightmare I had getting into the country almost 2 years ago!

Hello! My interview is coming up for citizenship and I m quite nervous. This will be my first interview since my initial K1 interview as my AOS interview was waived, and I never had one for ROC.

So, I m quite nervous and unsure what to expect. I m an over preparer and I was just wondering what documents everyone brought with them?

Thank you!

Hi all,
After submitting my I-751 about two years ago I just received an RFE requesting proof of legal termination of marriage (see images attached). I've never received an RFE before but it seems relatively simple, just send the document, in this case it'd just be the divorce decree (which my lawyer sent with my original packet). I reached out to my lawyer to hear what they thought, just because I've heard people stress out over RFEs before. My lawyer said, "We will handle the RFE Response. Sometimes it is just a matter of educating the officer, referring to applicable law, and resubmitting the evidence." They also wanted to charge $700 to do so. I feel like they are trying to make it sound more involved than it really is to claim a handsome fee for doing so. What are your thoughts, can I handle this myself? Do I just send in the requested document or do I need to include something else like a letter explaining my inclusion of the document? Do I mention that my lawyer sent the document in my original submission? Thanks so much for any insights you can share!

Hi! Quick question.

I will soon be submitting my citizenship application. My seven year old who came with me as a K1 and is now PR will become a citizen when I do, that I know. But there s nowhere online to mention her in my application so that they know she s becoming a citizen? In my previous applications, there was a spot like that. Am I missing something? I don t want to leave her out and make a mistake.

Thanks!
