I'm a former k1, got married on 08/2018, sent the package for GC on 09/2018, filled to expedite my 765 based on a job offer and financial loss, received it on 02/2019, and currently I'm waiting for my interview date letter.

 

Case ready to be scheduled for an interview since 03/2019.

Boston and Lawrence are on the fast side. I’d said within 6 months of applying is a good bet, both for aos and n400

Any day within 90 days of expiration

Hello all, 

 

I am applying for ROC with divorce waiver, my new girlfriend and I are thinking to get married in August and my 3 years GC will be in October. Do you know if I can apply for the N400 if I am married with another citizen that is not the same that sponsor the first GC. 

 

I have read that people don't recommend to get married before the ROC because can be "" suspicious " but I think that is stupid since it a happens all the time nit just with immigrants.. 

 

 

Any thoughts or experiences please 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Please read the n400 instructions and see if your situation applies to the 3year requirements 

Go with the 5 year option and you won’t really have to provide evidence of your marriage. It’s good you’re still together though. The 5 year option needs less documents from you

good luck 

I recently renewed an expired passport at a Brazilian consulate in the east coast. I could’ve gotten it the same day. I didn’t because I didn’t want to wait more than an hour and the system was having hiccups that particular day.

a Brazilian citizen can walk in at the consulate and ask to be seen. That happened on the day I was there. 

Please read the guides 

And why cant her renew it at a consulate in Argentina or even here? It’s a same day process if you go in person here. 

I’d find a way to get it done ASAP or else it’s likely she will lose her visiting privileges

I just checked and it is not. Everything has been scheduled through Los Angeles but I just checked and it looks like my new zip code pointed me towards San Bernardino.

1. You failed to inform a change of address

2. Your new address is in another offices jurisdiction

 I’m not sure the odds are in your favor. They can certainly refuse to interview you. 

Ive seen cases where someone was turned away on an infopass because they did not go to their local office... and that’s an infopass only. 

Id make sure to contact them with the change of address first and talk to a tier 2.

good luck and please report back

We just truly didn’t understand that there was supposed to be anything in his passport that was missing. We were under the assumption that everything needed was in the envelope, including the Visa. It took me googling in this moment for me to realize there was supposed to be anything in his passport, all the information online just seemed to reiterate the sealed envelope. 

It’s very basic info you missed out. But it won’t do you any good to dwell over this. Going forward though please get acquainted of your next steps so you don’t face any more hiccups. Knowledge is power. It’s very important to know everything about the process.

best of luck

So I moved a couple of months back but did not let USCIS know for fear of having my case delayed. Will this be a problem come time for the interview? All of my documents have been updated to my new address already but I never sent in a change of address.

Was the move to a new address in the same field office jurisdiction?

Now it’s water under the bridge.  

but just a reminder to everyone that you should never book anything if you don’t have the visa in hand... and even when you have it in hand you need to check and make sure everything is alright. 

The only thing to do now is contact the embassy, most likely send passport and sealed envelope back and they will sort things out from their end. The faster you act the faster the outcome 

good luck

Sure they can try, being from Canada chances are very high. Make sure they answer questions truthfully and that they bring proof of ties to their country, such as letter for leave from employer, rent payments, etc.

The Biometrics appointment won’t need much from you as far as speaking English is concerned. You potentially would be fine by yourself and your husband can accompany you.

but something to keep in mind for your interview is hiring a capable translator, not a friend, as your husband shouldn’t be translating for you there

good luck

They told him he needed MMR, Varicella and flu vaccine.  

Well, IF we get to the point of AOS he should be in good shape. 

Best to take care of vaccines in Brazil and have the doctor transcribe them on the ds3025, make sure he gets a copy. 

Lower standards and apply anywhere that’s hiring and doesn’t ask for high school diploma 

Can’t remember it being required at the interview, as we already have to send it with the i129f packet.

if you want to bring one, have him just update the one he sent with the initial packet just with a closer date to the interview, he can scan and send it to you by email and you print it

When I filed the N-400 petition, I added a letter requesting, among other things, to have the two cases decided together at the interview as this website states.

Oh, alright,  that makes sense. Just making sure I know all the info I get before deciding to apply

I haven't received the letter in the mail yet, but I also got the USCIS notification stating that a transfer had taken place and that a new office had jurisdiction over my case.

 

I'm a CSC filer, and this is the most recent update that I see at present: "On May 20, 1019, we received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number [XXX], at your local office."

 

I'm waiting to have my naturalization interview scheduled. When I filed N-400, I requested to have the two cases decided at the interview, so I understand it's right for my local office to have the case now.

 

If I receive the letter and it says something different, I'll let you know!

How can you ask them to have both interviews together? 

No update when you receive Biometrics letter but it should change after to “fingerprints reviewed” or something like that. Then it’s pretty much wait for rfe, case ready to be scheduled for interview, interview scheduled, card being made, case approved, card mailed... 

If you read the post, it said people were not denied but asked to give more info/ documents. That’s what happened with them as well.

If you have provided enough proof, have a real relationship, no red flags, etc, you should be fine. 

And at this point, knowing that the usc won’t able to take time off anyway, why worry about something you can’t change?

Once you package is received, you will receive NOA and an extension letter. They will arrive separately. The extension letters are currently 18 months. 

The noa1 is the extension letter and extends the validity of the green card for 18 months after expiration date

On average, how long does it take to get the p3 email once your case arrives in Rio? 

It took me 5 weeks from noa2. But as long as your case says ready you can go ahead, that’s what people here has been doing

I'm drawing a blank here but whats the name of the form we have to fill out if the process is taking longer than 1 year?  The extension?

 

thanks in advance.

 

I checked the status of our process and nothing has changed. 

Roc processing time is 18 months, that’s why you got a 18month extension letter... waiting a year is normal.

if it takes longer and your 18 months are about to expire though you can try and get an infopass schedule to request a stamp on your passport

Well i have shown the proof from start as 2014  because i had that history in my FaceTime and then right 2017 and 2018 2019. Hopefully that will be enough because requirement is 2 years  but you know questions was ridiculous. I have seen people from 10 years relationship but yes as i am not brazilian maybe thats the point.  But i did whatever i had and lets see what they do.

The requirement for the i129f is to have met within 2 years prior to filing it but in no way they narrow it down for the proof of relationship required at the interview. When it’s up to the consulate/ immigration officer, they can pretty much ask or request anything they want to. Rdj is not a hard one, so that’s uncommon. Hopefully it’s not a new trend for whoever is going forward right now.

let us know how it goes
