US Immigration from Vietnam

Hi Everyone,

I m so confused right now. I sent a check for $595 for my wife s I751 and it was returned to me stating I sent the incorrect fee! I know about the $85 biometrics fee but the instructions state:

If you are the U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, you do not need to include a biometric services fee at the time this petition is submitted.

My wife is a lawful permanent resident spouse so I did not include the $85 which I ve read in other places to not include. Am I missing something or did USCIS mess up?

Also, when I resubmit do I just send in the same papers again without altering again?

Any insights is greatly appreciated.

My wife has her oath ceremony scheduled 2 days before our trip to Seattle. She also requested a name change during the naturalization process, will this cause any problems or can she just use her country's passport or even the state ID she has with her current name?

Title asks it all. I know we are required to submit my intending immigrant spouse's police certificate, but are we also supposed to submit a translated copy of the "so ho khau" as one of the civil docs?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Everyone!

My husband and I will be filing his N400 soon. We submitted his i751 back in May 2020 but are still waiting. I've seen suggestions to submit a cover letter explaining and requesting the two to be adjudicated together.

Does anyone have an example of a cover letter they sent for an online N-400 application with a pending i751 that they could share?

With the online filing, did you list all the documents you submitted in the cover letter? Did you include file names? (We are new to the online filing system)

Thanks so much!

Hello all,

I am sponsoring my fiance to the US. our packet finally made it to the US embassy in HCMC. I am required to provide a birth certificate for her to take during her interview. However, i do not have a copy of my birth certificate and have no way of obtaining one since I was born in VN. What can she take in place of a birth certificate?
