Congratulations!!! It's a shame that some people have to wait more than 3 years for approval. Good luck on your N-400. The journey is almost finished....

Unless you have violated the law, or you are not in a bona fide marriage, your fears are unfounded. First of all, you will receive a 48 month extension letter when you submit an I-751. That will extend the expiration date of your card for 4 years. Secondly, a Green Card expiration date would affect only evidence of your legal status. It does not expire your status, itself, as a legal resident. The media is stirring up a lot of baseless fear mongering right now. I would just ignore it.

Sometimes, that is the case....but not always. However, I always recommend submitting the N-400 as soon as possible. After waiting 40 months for our I-751 to be approved, wife submitted her N-400. Four months later, both the I-751 and N-400 were approved after a combo intervoew.

Getting entry is not the same as proving citizenship. In many cases, the only proof of citizenship are either a US Passport or a Naturalization Certificate.

1. Married couples living in different parts of the world are not expected to have a lot of combined finances. The best evidence is that of time actually spent together. 2. If you are paying Paypal fees, you are doing it wrong. There is a friends and family method which results in no fees....other than maybe foreign exchange fees.

Your extension letter is valid for 48 months total. My wife and I waited 44 months for our I-751 approval

What new rules? There are none. How many Green Card holders have been refused entry? I know of none.

Proof of citizenship and proof of identity are 2 separate things here.

It means you were lucky, ...that time, imo. Your history is on file....and it matters. My 2 cents. Others might disagree.

No. History is history.

USPS Passport documentation required. You need both the Naturalization certificate plus a copy AND a separate ID and copy. Step 1: Gather Documents Early Generally, you should apply for your new passport as soon as you know you’ll be traveling internationally—at least several months in advance. Passport processing times may vary, so be sure to check the latest State Department service estimates. First-time applicants, minors, and applicants who need a new passport but may not renew by mail may submit their passport application at the Post Office. The U.S. State Department website explains what you'll need to bring with you.

Nope. Wife applied at a county office. Needed a state DL or other ID and a copy also.

Great. Be aware that it could take a month or more just to get evidence that he has submitted a proper I-485. Good Luck.

I would submit a proper I-485 as soon as possible. This administration isn't playing around. Your spouse is deportable right now. There is no benefit in a delay. He cannot get a Green Card, he cannot apply to work legally, and he cannot start the clock for citizenship until he is a legal resident. All those things start with a properly filed I-485. A simple interaction with any law enforcement could create a catastrophe.

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,"

I'm shocked they didn't reject the payment. I have never heard of them doing that.

You have 2 separate petitions. I would withdraw one of them....the one with the incorrect payment. It is extremely odd that they would accept an incorrect payment.

They will ask 6-10 questions on the list. I wouldn't worry about other stuff.
