I got approved today! California Service Center my case started with WAC. I am so happy and relieved. My wifes mother died and its been a really emotional and stressful week. This is such great news. Thanks everyone who helped me in this topic and forum i am so glad the journey is finally over.  No more USCIS and gathering evidence
 
Goodluck to everyone still waiting! Youll get yours soon!

Thank you! So better off applying for citizenship before then if possible, just in case. The proposed fee is a huge difference from the current.

Hi!  I just wanted to say please make sure when she completes the DS-160 ( I think that's the correct form?) That she puts everything that's needed in that form (I can't recall if it has specifics for thinks like bank account, owning a home, past travel history etc) I say this because they are not required to look at documents she brings and often times already made their decision based on what was completed in the application form. 
 
This is not to say don't bring the paperwork- definitely bring it to the interview but don't be surprised if they don't look at it.   Good luck to your mom.

Also explains why we have so many timelines with Armenia as the country.

So my mom has a pretty good history of traveling to the US and she’s gotten approved for the tourist visa twice. The last time she travelled however was 2004. What are her chances of getting approved this time around? I know chances are usually higher for renewals but I’m still a bit scared that they won’t approve her because she doesn’t have a ton of ties. She’s retired but does a bit of Part time work for extra money. My husband and I mostly support her financially but she also has a pension. She’s from Jamaica if that makes a difference. 

Thanks for the clarification! Just what I thought, just wanted to be sure since my husband wanted to check as well. My 90 days for naturalization will be this July so I’ll just wait till then to apply.

We sent to Phoenix - e notification received and check cashed but nothing else. 

We’ve had mail forwarded from USCIS too (we’re also military). 

Again. You’re sending too much. You can send the entire bank statement but you don’t need every month of it. Same with taxes. But it’s ultimely your choice if you wanna send all that. All I’m saying is an officer will look at the size of your package and say hey I’m not working on that monstrosity today. And will continue to do so for months.

That is way too much. There's absolutely no reason to have that much stuff sent out.

Not getting into this one today.... 

You do realize that in order to eligible for Obamacare, you have to have a full time job?  My husband is a doctor, I am a healthcare lawyer, I guarantee you I know more about how Obamacare works than your political talking heads know.  It isn't anything close to a disaster, very far from it, and take that from someone who treats patients all day long in a hospital.  Also, health insurance is far from a "few hundred bucks".  I own my own law firm and I can tell you what I pay for health insurance for my employees, it is a lot more than a few hundred dollars a month, try more like $600 a person per month.  
 
You are completely entitled to your opinion, but the fact of the matter is that people that receive Obamacare are working, and working hard at full time jobs.  These are exactly the people that we want to keep in this country, so I have to disagree with you that we would deny citizenship to these people.  

The problem is that the administration has changed the rules in the middle of the game.  It is like playing football and the referees decide you can play with only 10 players instead of 11.  Before yesterday, no one knew that accepting Obamacare subsidies for health insurance would disqualify them from permanent residency or citizenship.  The administration has the right to change the rules going forward, but to change the rules and apply them retroactively is unfair and un-American.
 
Frankly, if we want to discuss what is a bigger public cost and tax on the system, it would be the exact opposite from signing up for Obamacare: going uninsured and being unable to pay huge hospital bills.  Someone has to pay for uninsured people that show up at the hospital and the people that pay are everyone else with insurance.  Prospective immigrants are being punished for doing the responsible thing and insuring themselves and their families, that is what is wrong.

Yes you do

How is that question relevant? How he came to the US is none of our business nor is it relevant to his question. He's an American citizen and that's all that matters.

Haha I totally forgot that February is a short month. Thanks for the links. So I need to secure an interview by Feb and if not request an extension. - gotcha. Thanks.

Thank you for the detailed response!! ❤️❤️

She left the US to get treatment in her home country so that reasoning won't hold up
