Anecdotal, but my wife and I also found this the easiest process compared to K1, AOS and ROC. We are not sure, but I believe it helped that my wife had her I751 pending when she had her N400/I751 combo interview. Since our IO in Detroit had my wife’s I751 package in front of her, and I was also present supporting my wife, the IO did not ask for any of the marriage information my wife had with her (back in 2018, there was no requirement to upload all that information, it was only required for the interview). Also, the IO conducted a very brief, less than 5 minutes, I751 interview with us to verify the I751 info, and update any info from the filing date about 1.5 years earlier. Overall, your plan seems solid, you should be fine. Just a note, Detroit moves pretty fast, so when you do get your interview notice, if the I751 is still pending, upload a note requesting a combo interview. Good Luck!

Couldn’t pass this up.

Another possible book title!

Would anyone be surprised? It is a fact that when Democrats accuse their political opponents of doing something nefarious, you can bet those same Democrats are doing just that. I am sure Ms. James will use all the tried and true leftist talking points in defending herself in the media, top most of which will be racism, lawfare, sexism, etc. I am curious how she can be AG of NY with her primary residence in VA. Federal agency refers New York AG Letitia James to DOJ for prosecution for alleged mortgage fraud “On August 30 and 31, 2023, through her attorney, Ms. James purchased this property in Norfolk, VA. In a Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Form 3047 and in mortgage documents, she reaffirmed this would be her primary residence, despite being a statewide public office holder in the state of New York at that same time and primarily residing in the state of New York,” the letter stated. In the second instance, James was accused of understating the number of housing units in a property she owned in Brooklyn in an apparent attempt to get it treated with a better mortgage interest rate, the letter alleged. https://justthenews.com/accountability/political-ethics/federal-agency-refers-new-york-ag-letitia-james-doj-prosecution

It is amazing how the Democrats seem to be latching on to the 20% side of the 80-20 issues out there. This is one of them, and even Hakeem the Dream is saying the Dems are just trying to shape public opinion on this issue which means to the Dems, it is all political. Once the facts actually got out about this person, it seems pretty clear, there is no basis for him to be in the US regardless of the tear-jerking stories being given by the Dems, and their MSM/synchronized media allies. Abrego Garcia isn’t the winning political issue Democrats think he is To hear Democrats like Sen. Chris Murphy (D-RI) tell it, Garcia was just an innocent, doting father who was randomly targeted by the Trump administration to be sent to El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center. The Supreme Court then ordered Trump to return this “legal” resident back to the United States. Trump has refused, sending our nation into a constitutional crisis. Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) has even announced he is going to personally travel to El Salvador to bring Garcia home. The problem is that Democrats leave a lot out of Garcia’s story, and the truth makes Trump’s failure to return him quite reasonable. For starters, Garcia was not in the United States legally. By his lawyer’s own admission, he entered the country illegally in 2011. Then, eight years later, Garcia was arrested at a Home Depot while illegally soliciting employment. The Prince George’s County Police Department then transferred him to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which began deportation proceedings against him. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/3381326/kilmar-abrego-garcia-issue-democrats/

She is a real piece of work. Taylor Lorenz's Crush on Luigi Mangione Is Sick The Luigi Mangione phenomenon is disgusting. He has many thousands of fans, most of them young women, who applaud his murder of Brian Thompson. A large amount of money has been raised for his defense, and his appearances in court are greeted by throngs of admirers. Mangione’s killing of Thompson is seen as a political murder, much like the assassination of Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth, only in this case, the murder was committed to advance a cause that is popular on the Left–socialized medicine. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/2025/04/14/taylor_lorenzs_crush_on_luigi_mangione_is_sick_644787.html

Then write a book. @Neonred and @Ban Hammer have already suggested some great book titles!

Voice of reason. ‘If we stopped using fossil fuels today, billions would die’ Lomborg: Fundamentally, if you’re speaking about Net Zero, you very easily end up with a renewables-only approach. Solar and wind are the favourite policies at the moment. The problem is, of course, that you can’t run an economy on something that only works sometimes. Wind and solar are great when the Sun is shining and the wind is blowing, but at other times the cost is tremendous. Most countries have storage capacity for 10 or 20 minutes of renewable power. But you need capacity for two or three months. The more wind and solar you have, the higher the cost of energy. No country on Earth has lots of solar and wind and cheap energy. That’s why heavy industry has left Germany, because businesses can’t afford the cost of solar and wind. Instead, they move to the US or China, where energy is cheap. https://www.spiked-online.com/2025/04/14/if-we-stopped-using-fossil-fuels-today-billions-would-die/

Totally normal. I would suggest making a few copies of the extension letter, as the original needs to be treated like a passport/GC. Good Luck!

You can only report your own thread and request a moderator/organizer move it. I did this for you already. Good Luck!

Did you include your shortened/nickname in the section other names used? If so, probably not an issue. That being said, if you filed online, you can upload documents. Good Luck!

I agree, the security lapse after action report will be interesting.

Yes, it seems counter-intuitive considering what was submitted. What exactly is the RFE asking for?

We have seen quite a few RFE's when I864s combine IRS transcripts with W2s/1099s. For some reason when USCIS sees W2s/1099s alone they want to also see the tax return copies despite the fact that IRS transcripts are already included. Good Luck!

Glad Gov. Shapiro and his family and friends are safe. Is there something in the water in PA?

Sorry about what you had to go through. Yes, your previous marriage is relevant as it is how you obtained LPR status. I know it can be painful, but if asked, I would calmly explain the situation you went through just like you did here in your post. You are not required to answer questions that are not asked, so keep answers short and to the point. Naturalization after a divorce (I751 or not) are relatively common, but you followed the rules relative to your I751. You should be fine. Good Luck!

Still needed the I130 as it appears the spouse entered on HP, not a K1. To the OP, I assume you were married before she entered the US on her humanitarian parole?

I know you can certainly claim US citizenship, not sure about Russian or Ukrainian. If you read the links, you may not have Russian citizenship since you were born overseas to only one Russian citizen (your mother), and not two as it states (consider the source though). As to Ukraine, it appears there is no distinction, you only have to have one Ukrainian parent regardless as to birth location. So it appears, US and Ukrainian citizenships. Good Luck! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_nationality_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_citizenship_law

Completely anecdotal. I was on a recent work trip with 8 other collogues. Some USCs, some LPRs, and one on an H1B, we all entered through Detroit Metro Airport, and none of us were sent to secondary. Additionally, the non-citizen line was long, but was moving, and the USC/LPR line took only a few minutes to pass the immigration officer. This was with three international flights arriving around the same time. A lot of fear mongering going on, and CBP may have stepped up vigilance of irregularities such as LPRs with long absences, or other things, such as questionable countries visited, etc., but if you are legal, expired CGC and extension letter is legal, you will be fine.

Exactly this ^^^^ You can file the N600 in your leisure after she gets her U.S. Passport using your naturalization certificates and her birth certificate. Good Luck!

No, only if the DS3025 is marked as incomplete. Otherwise, his medical exam I693 should be good from his K1 visa interview. Good Luck!

I would focus on getting your AOS package in ASAP. I don’t think that ruling applies here, that would be more for those that entered the U.S. without inspection. Good Luck!

Yes, visiting in a third country is probably best. She can try again for a B2, but it will be an uphill climb. What country is she from? Letters of sponsorship are not needed for a B2, and often are seen as a negative. Good Luck!

The N400 is not required to get the I751 processed. You can file an N400 if you wish to become a USC, but there is no requirement. Good Luck!

A very sad situation for someone tasked with fostering children.
