Hello, I am an American and brought my husband to the us (arrived May 2021) and he has a green card. He started working at a company doing sales and in order to get in to certain companies he visits he needs to be a US citizen. Is there any way if he gets letters from work stating how it s vital for him to be a US citizen to complete his job, that the government will grant him citizenship earlier than the standard 5 years? thanks.

What's the average timeframe between when the status changes from 'Oath Ceremony will be Scheduled' to 'Oath Ceremony Notice has been Mailed'? My status changed on 12/10, I'm so close but now I'm just antsy to get it all done and over with. Anyone with previous experience on the timeline for the Tampa field office would be helpful too.

My documents are ready to be picked up at my courier. I have a question for those that have received thier passports back. When I get my package do I open the envelope? I remember reading somewhere that you open the first envelope but you don't open a second envelope inside the package (which is marked). Kinda a silly question but I don't want to mess up at this stage.

| I-864 Qualifying Quarters |

The instructions for an I-864 say the sponsor is responsible for supporting the immigrant financially, should they require it. There are exceptions for immigrants to not have a sponsor. One of which is the following: "Any intending immigrant who has earned or can receive credit for 40 qualifying quarters (credits) of work in the United States. In addition to their own work, intending immigrants may be able to secure credit for work performed by a spouse during marriage and by their parents while the immigrants were under 18 years of age. The Social Security Administration (SSA) can provide information on how to count quarters of work earned or credited and how to provide evidence of such. " As I understand it, the financial sponsor is responsible for the immigrant until they naturalize or have met 40 qualifying quarters of employment. In my case, I was employed for 21 quarters of work prior to our immigration journey, while I was legally working in the US on an L1 visa. So, is hubs on the hook for only 19 quarters? Do my previous quarters count, despite not being 40 full quarters? This is totally philosophical in nature as I'm completely happy in my relationship and will be applying for citizenship next month under the 3 year rule, but I'm curious, none the less.

Hi all! I came to the US on a K1 Visa and have my Legal Permanent Resident card (expires October 2029). I want to go to college for Electrical Apprenticeship to better my career, but the 10 month course is $18,499. My understanding is that in my current status I am NOT allowed to receive any sort of federal assistance, including FAFSA, otherwise the federal government can and will sue my wife for the amount received. Does anyone know if that applies to FAFSA and other federal grants or loans? I ve been trying to find this information online and it s very sparse. Thank you all!
