Hello there VJ,

I am about to put in the N-400 for my wife after three years as a permanent resident and married to a US citizen (me!). She spent six months (183 days to be exact) outside the US. Will this set back her 3-year continuous residence? Is this going to effect her N-400 since we was out of the country for 6 months?

The instructions says to provide all proof and evidence of my wife's ties to the US if she's outside of the country for 6 months or longer. We can easily provide those evidence in our application; but I am not sure if her six months outside the US sets back her clock to zero; or if it means she has to wait for another six months to make up for those 6 months of being outside the US.

Please advise.

Thanks!

Hi VJ,

We filed our I-751 on 7 Feb; got NOA1 a few days later with the application number (WAC#)

Then we just got our NOA2 (bio appointment) today with a different application WAC number, but the service center says ESC.

Is that normal?

Hi VJ,

Here's the situatino.

My wife's temporary GC expires in May 14.

I sent in the I-751 in Feb 14 (a few weeks ago); and we're planning on travelling abroad for a few months--will stay abroad over the expiration date on the two-year GC.

So my question is, will my wife be able to get back to the US with the NOA1 and her expired GC. Assuming that the NOA1 extends your residency for another year.

Thanks.
