I think you should work on submititng ROC first.

Also, you stated you are not working. You will have to find joint sponsor for affidavit of support.

I wouldn't do that. The process in not about what is easier. He needs to take correct action.

That's what I think.

I am just going to throw a wild guess. Did you have any arrest related to domestic violence while your marriage was breaking? Was Police involved in any domestic dispute?

I don't know about the children, something seems off. I hope adoption and BC was obtained correctly. I am obviously not familiar with the process. I wish your friend made an account on Visa journey to explain about the adoption. I would be interested in learning about this. Adjustment of status for wife should be straightforward.

Ask your ex if she has a divorce decree.

Definitely be there as her sponsor. My husband was sponsored by his US Citizen Mother (AOS). None of the paperwork stated that she must be present for the interview. She waited in a coffee shop across the street. First thing IO asked was: "Where is your sponsor?" MIL was then promptly called to USCIS office for the interview. Good she was there waiting.

My friend filled in August and already had interview mid November. Oath scheduled for December. Miami office. I am surprised with the timeline.

Exactly my thought. Why not give advice without screaming fraud? VJ members should do better.

If you are able to successfully attend and complete College in US I am sure you will be able to pass civics and English test. Go for it. Good luck! Best part is being done with USCIS forever.

Why wouldn't the interview notice show up in the online account correspondence tab? I truly believe it was never generated by the system, otherwise Tier 1 should be able to see it. Please let us know what Tier 2 tells you. The only error I see on OP part is not following up sooner.

Ok, you win! Let's wait to see what Tier 2 is going to say. If the interview was scheduled, then why Tier 1 did not see the notice of interview. I guess USCIS can't prove a negative either.

USCIS would have to produce a copy of dated interview letter that was "sent" to OP or posted to online account. This would be proof that OP "missed" the interview. If the manager confirms such notice was never generated by the system, then OP should be approved hopefully for both processes (removal of conditions and Citizenship). I work for state government and see similar situations happen quite a bit. My supervisor always asks herself what would happen if this case went to fair hearing, how would the government prove the interview notice was sent on a specific date if it wasn't.

I am optimistic that the issue will be resolved without having to file a new I751. If you never received an interview notice and none was generated by the system on USCIS end you should be fine. This is assuming Tier 1 officer was correct. They can't claim you missed the interview you were never advised about.

A while ago I was helping someone with criminal record submit N400. Lawyer quoted 5K just to start. After lots of research we decided to proceed without a lawyer. Requested all court records and police records. All went well and he is now a US Citizen. Another time, I was helping a friend submit AOS packet. Immigration officer was surprised with the quality of well put together application and supporting documents. Officer was surprised he did not have a lawyer. It can be done! All resources are there available for anyone willing to do the work.

I guess we all know that applying for US Citizenship occurs after five years as an LPR. Even if Mom becomes a US Citizen it doesn't change the fact that she hasn't earned any quarters in US. I don't know about Georgia, but in CT an elderly LPR (after five years) or US Citizen with no qualifying quarters can apply for Medicare and conditionally enroll into Medicare. SSA will give such individual a statement showing how much Part A and Part B will cost. Then the LPR (after five years) or US Citizen with no quarters can apply with the state (DSS) for MSP which is a Medicare Savings Program which would buy in Part A and B for such individual. Of course deeming of sponsor's income and assets would still be required.

Your elderly parents are not eligible for Medicare due to never working in the US as they don't have 40 qualifying quarters. They may apply for Medicaid with the state Department of Social Services after being an LPR for five years. Be aware that even after five years, portion of your/sponsor's income and assets will be counted/deemed. Which essentially may put you parents over income for the program. Best advice I can give is for the parents to become US Citizens ASAP. Meanwhile you will have to pay for their healthcare.

Just be sure your friends address is in the same state from which you filled your N400. Otherwise USCIS may transfer your case to another state office based on your current, most recent address.

Let us know how it goes. Ask politely if they are willing to speed up the process for you due to AOS. Might work, depending on who you get.

I don't see any issues here.

I would be livid if this happened to me. I work for a state government and many of my coworkers have no clue about immigration process and what it takes to obtain a green card. I would first talk to the manager at the specific DMV branch to obtain the name of the worker and manager. Then file a complaint with DMV commissioner and the governor. More than anything they are afraid of lawsuits. At the very least it will force the state to implement some very specific trainings. Good luck! Please, update us on what happened next.

Your dad applies for his own citizenship. Him being married to your mom who is now a citizen has nothing to do with his citizenship application. Take some time to teach him English and reapply in the future.

Maybe she initially petitioned for his green card.

Your Father can reapply anytime. Nobody petitions his Naturalization. I assume he failed English and/or Civics?
