For the 3 year rule, only 3 years is needed.

Interesting YT video by Judge Joe Brown regarding the case. He stated "I have not been this angry at anything in a long time". Caution: Offensive language. Judge Joe Brown lays it out as to why this verdict will not stand.....among other things.

Yes.

Sounds like a lazy officer. However, congratulations!!! Obtaining citizenship is quite an accomplishment which most Americans don't understand.

"settled" means you are comfortable.

Chapter 6 - Jurisdiction, Place of Residence, and Early Filing | USCIS "Although an applicant may file early according to the 90 day early filing provision, the applicant is not eligible for naturalization until he or she has reached the required five-year period of continuous residence as a lawful permanent resident (LPR)." " D. 90-Day Early Filing Provision (INA 334) An applicant filing under the general naturalization provision may file his or her application up to 90 days before he or she would first meet the required 5-year period of continuous residence as an LPR.[14] Although an applicant may file early according to the 90 day early filing provision, the applicant is not eligible for naturalization until he or she has reached the required five-year period of continuous residence as a lawful permanent resident (LPR). USCIS calculates the early filing period by counting back 90 days from the day before the applicant would have first satisfied the continuous residence requirement for naturalization. For example, if the applicant would satisfy the five-year continuous residence requirement for the first time on June 10, 2010 USCIS will begin to calculate the 90-day early filing period from June 9, 2010. In such a case, the earliest that the applicant is allowed to file would be March 12, 2010 (90 calendar days earlier). In cases where an applicant has filed early and the required three month period of residence in a state or service district falls within the required five-year period of continuous residence, jurisdiction for filing will be based on the three-month period immediately preceding the examination on the application.[15]"

There is always a first time for everything. Good luck. Remember: These attorneys won't have to deal with any issues if they arise in the future (other than collecting a huge fee). Personally, I would want this settled asap. I would absolutely want USCIS involved to investigate. Maybe your Senator can help.

1. I see they never said you didn't take the oath too early....... 2. You can't erase the fact that you googled it and discovered the issue. 3. No one has said you intended fraud. The fact is that you possibly took the oath too early. A mistake by USCIS doesn't negate that fact. Good luck. . Ignoring an issue is not always the best course of action. Be aware that we see bad attorney advice pretty often around here.

Thank you for letting me know that my first comment wasn't clear...😀

You must list your travel. There is no requirement to provide official government records. Wife and I used her passport, our calendars, and airline ticket information to find dates.

No, I am not. If petitioner is already in the US, you can enter alone. Note: I edited my earlier comment to make that clear. Thanks.

Not exactly. The US spouse petitioner must already be in the US, or must enter at the same time as the visa holder enters. Example: The US petitioner cannot remain outside the US while the visa holder enters.

This is what we uploaded as we went through the online N-400. 5 years Tax transcripts Proof of my 1st marriage Termination Proof of Wife's 1st Marriage Termination Wife's Green Card Our Marriage Certificate

They are the very people they claim to detest. They practice the very things they claim to oppose. They are hypocrites and much more.

Yes...but you have to consummate the marriage by meeting either during or after the marriage ceremony BEFORE filing the I-130.

Every couple has their own priorities, and each couple must decide which visa is better for their situation. K-1 More expensive than CR-1 Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork) Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 3-6 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 3-6 months) Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed. A K-1 might be a better choice when 18-21 year old children are immigrating also In some situations, marriage can affect certain Home country benefits, making a K-1 a better choice A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire K-1 entrant cannot file for citizenship until after having Green Card for 3 years. Once an I-129F has been approved, delaying the case is difficult to impossible if the need arises. CR-1/IR-1 Less expensive than K-1 No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765) required. Spouse can immediately travel outside the US Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival. Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport. Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US. The clock for citizenship filing starts immediately upon entry to the US. A CR-1/IR-1 case can be delayed indefinitely at NVC if the need arises.

Have you tried to contact the consulate yourself.....to ask?

Sadly, I-751 processing times are all over the map. A few weeks to more than 3.5 years....with no RFEs. There is no logic, and nothing you can do. ...other than filing an N-400.

That would be the bottom line for me, too.

I think it is very likely that there were multiple human errors.

I guess this could be reviewed when applying for SS retirement benefits. Seems to me, the error is visible to the right eyes looking.

I had seen initial reports of that robbery and shooting a few months ago....but didn't know the rest of the story until now....wow!!!!

and if that fails? I think I would have found a way to borrow the money for the fee.

Tax return would show LAST year's income....not what she expects to earn over the next year after new immigrant arrives. Current and expected income is king...not past income.
