    I know plenty of people who do not get naturalized and don't see any issue with that. The main reasons for me were: 1) Passport that grants me visa-free entry to most countries (Russian passport is very restrictive) 2) Hassle-free entry to the US (Russia/US relationship is not exactly stable) 3) Right to vote

    I don't follow your logic but if he was indeed "indoctrinated" that he was superior to his fiancée - he surely would at least make an effort to a) provide b) not suck in every way possible.

    This. You said it. Do you think this man will change once he arrives to the US?

    Eh? I did not notify USCIS for months about my new address. Not ideal but happens all the time and nothing came of it. You’re fine.

    Any chance both of your names are on your vet bills?

    This. Senators and Congressmen are a great resource if there is something actually wrong with the processing of your case. I should note that each time they were able to assist me - that was the case (2017: my AOS was officially way outside of normal processing times; 2020 - my I751 was mistakenly sent to the wrong office and stuck there; 2020 - I had to get a rush processing for my passport due to personal circumstances).

    I was promptly helped each time I reached out (2017, Michael Bennet's Office, AOS; 2020, Cory Booker's Office then Bernie Sanders' Office, N400/I751; 2020, Nancy Pelosi's office, US Passport).

    Most likely answering other dozens of callers. You'd be surprised but you're not exactly the only person calling Tier 1.

    K1 itself does not come with work authorization. Your fiancée is not authorized to work until her I-765 is approved. You have nothing to extend therefore extension language is not applicable to you yet. Feel free to continue arguing with more knowledgeable members of this forum about the wording but it's pointless as no HR would hire her as she has no legal document allowing her to work.

    While you're mostly correct, it's not a 100% accurate statement. I called Tier 1 officers on 2 instances: 1. When I was waiting for my AOS approval: the lady was able to pull up my case and told me that it was ready to be scheduled for interview; however home country had not returned my background check which caused the delay. 2. When I was waiting for my N400 approval: another agent told me that she actually saw that my biometrics had been reused and "pushed through" (c) the notice (which updated the very next day to my online account) and then I received an interview notice 1 week after that.

    Extremely unlikely. USCIS online system has notoriously been unreliable. So if this was the case - nobody's cases would be getting approved or moving. My I-751 status never got updated even after I went to my biometrics appointment. My biometrics for N400 were still waived (and no status update there either).

    N600 is not applicable to you as you are not yet a citizen. File N400 to become one.

    I didn't say that. This page says that you can: https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/temporary-workers/e-2-treaty-investors

    Request for Evidence. Also - cannot apply for a visa from inside the US. Visas are to enter the country.
  15. .yana
    Not a visa, status change. I've done it in 2009 so did dozens of people I know. Pretty standard procedure actually.
  16. .yana
    FWIW my AOS status was showing 'Case is Under Review' (or whatever the wording is) for YEARS after my successful interview and after I had already received my GC 😅 Online system is so unreliable and flawed, I wouldn't spend a second thinking about it.

    Does your husband have a passport? If so - bring it with you + the copy of his BC. I wasn't asked to show ANYTHING on my N400 interview (even though the interview notice did mention BC as one of the documents I had to bring with me) so most likely you'll be ok.

    Can't remember the exact time it took to get it back but definitely weeks if not a full month, and it was on a shorter end of a wait period if I recall correctly (that was last summer).
  19. .yana
    Most likely a system error (or you misunderstood their ask) and appointment will only be a waste of your time.

    You can also request assistance from your local representative especially if you have immediate travel plans.
  21. .yana
    Unnecessarily rude.

    Google flights is a great flight search engine, highly recommend (you can play around with dates too).

    Not like skipping I-751 is an option but true that filing N400 will often help move things along. OP - the hope is that 24 months will be sufficient but worse comes to worst, you'll call USCIS and ask for an infopass appointment to get your wife's passport stamped and extend her GC for another year.
  24. .yana
    Just my personal opinion but even despite the fact that she didn't say the full truth while entering in 2019 - she did not overstay, did not marry you, did not AOS. You guys still did everything correctly from USCIS standpoint. Hopefully that means she gets her visa soon!

    Lucky you! My N400 interview was during COVID era so my husband was not even allowed to enter the building with me. But the IO and I could see him trying to manage both of our dogs in our car right out of her office window so they sort of exchanged awkward waves and laughs
