Naturalization and updated policy to automatically extend Green Cards for Naturalization Applicants

Good afternoon everyone,

I have a question in regards to the automatic green card extension for LPRs who properly file Form N-400. Me and my husband are stationed in Germany, and I have already been to the JAGS office on base, in order to get an experts advise.

Unfortunately, the lawyers on base have not been a big help, because they usually do not deal with cases like mine, and I believe I need an experts advice.

Here is the situation:

-I am on my husbands orders and able to apply for expedited naturalization (N-400) until this summer (we will be stationed back to the US next summer)

-we are still waiting for our taxes to send out the application with the jointly filed taxes

-I found the below article, saying the USCIS updated their policy and if I understand correctly, I will not have to apply for the removal of conditions or an extension of the Green card, if I file for the naturalization (N-400).

Here are my questions: Is there anyone in this group who has worked with a good military lawyer or immigration lawyer? Due to past experiences I am scared to make a mistake and potentially loose my Green card.

I would need to file for the removal of conditions 90 days before the expiration date, so this February. However, if I have the choice I would much rather just file for the N-400, and become a citizen.

Thank you for your recommendations!

Best wishes

Lea

Release Date

12/09/2022

Effective Dec. 12, 2022, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is updating the USCIS Policy Manual to allow USCIS to automatically extend the validity of Permanent Resident Cards (commonly called Green Cards) for lawful permanent residents who have applied for naturalization.

This update (PDF, 307.54 KB) is expected to help naturalization applicants who experience longer processing times, because they will receive an extension of lawful permanent resident (LPR) status and may not need to file Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card (Green Card). LPRs who properly file Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, may receive this extension without regard to whether they filed Form I-90. USCIS will update the language on Form N-400 receipt notices to extend Green Cards for up to 24 months for these applicants. The receipt notice can be presented with the expired Green Card as evidence of continued status as well as identity and employment authorization under List A of Employment Eligibility Verification (Form I-9), if presented before the expiration of the 24-month extension period provided in the notice.

Hi everyone,

Anyone else waiting for NVC and Frankfurt consulate office to schedule an interview? How long does it normally takes for Frankfurt to give out dates? My case got DQed on the 21st of December 2022 and I haven't heard anything since then.

I filed two n--600 petitions 12 months ago for both of my children. I have yet to hear anything back other than a receipt notice.

Is there anyway I can find out which field center is behind the IOE case number'? I am wondering why it takes so long.

I received our NVC DQ 12-27-22. We are going through the Frankfurt consulate. I wanted to know if any one had any idea how long it would take for us to hear back with an interview date for that consulate? Can anyone tell me what exactly my husband will need to do ahead of time to make sure he goes to the interview totally prepared, like anything other than all the original documents we should bring?

POE Dublin with CR1/ IR1 experience?

Hi,

has anyone had any experience with going through Dublin as a POE first entry with a CR1/IR1? We will be traveling with 3 young kids and the idea of not having to wait at immigration after a 15-20h trip sounds great. The last reviews are from the early 2000 unfortunately.

I would love to hear your experiences!
