    I would start with following up with their office. Pester them if you need to. My representative helped me tremendously when I reached out to them. Albeit they responded right away. They can do it, and USCIS will respond to their inquiry.

    I feel bad for VAWA filers who already have an uphill battle ahead of them proving the legitimacy of their case.

    If you apply ASAP, you might get all three visas in time for your trip. I only have experience with French embassy, and it took about 10 business days to get my passport back.

    I would stand behind this but only if USCIS spend that extra $$$ to significantly improve their website functionality. Because when I was doing online filing, it was a disaster.

    Go take your Oath then apply for a passport via a passport agency. It used to be ~$400, could be slightly more now. Turnaround is as quick as 48 hours. Free option is to apply for emergency passport appointment due to immediate travel. But I’m not familiar with that process and how successful it is.

    First of all, don't compare your case to others'. It won't do you any good, just add to your frustration. Back when I filed for my AOS in 2016, those who filed with me received their GCs within 3-6 months. At some point, I was the only filer left in my topic who got nothing from USCIS. Each of my filings (AOS, I-751, N400) ended up taking the longest out of the projected wait time, and I had no RFEs. So just be patient. And yes, the country of origin might affect certain USCIS processes. For example, during my original AOS filing, at the infopass appointment I learned that my home country took over half a year to clear my background check which resulted in delay of my interview.

    I was rooting for you so much… Don’t give up! 🙏🏻

    I sent the absolute bare minimum. Didn't even include the most recent year of tax returns as they weren't available at the time when I filed. No RFEs, interviewed in less than year (I-751 was delayed but that's another story).

    Personally, I wouldn't risk it either. Was in your exact situation few years ago and decided to postpone the trip as I was finding too may stories of people having issues at the border for my comfort level.

    Personally - I wouldn't press my luck. Push the trip out few weeks? Weather is crappy there anyway.

    I do however recall, that CA DMV site specifically listed I797C form + expired GC as one of the valid documents. So it’s a little different yet still wasn’t a smooth process. if I were you, I’d print out whatever explanation of what the form I797C is and its validity from USCIS website, bring it with me, and ask to speak with a supervisor if they push back. MA is a huge state, undoubtedly they’re familiar with this form.

    Do you have a valid EAD? It looks like it's one of the accepted documents: https://www.mass.gov/files/documents/2018/04/21/Acceptable Forms of Identification online 041818.pdf I got my DL in California with an extension letter although it took some convincing and speaking to the supervisor.

    Once you renounce your citizenship - you need to apply for a visa, like any other foreigner.

    It truly baffles me when VERY experienced folks like yourself try to opine on such specific situations and such specific country laws they're not familiar with.
