Hey VJers, Jan 2022 filer here. Had a couple of updates to my journey this week:

Finally received a biometrics appointment request (3/31) for the I751 after filing two service requests.

Filed N-400 under 3 year rule (NOA1 3/21). Local office is Houston, TX. 

Hopefully things will pick up since you have filed your N-400!

The letter doesn’t say the spouse should go, that’s interesting. My husband has an important obligation he can’t get out of (i was able to get out of it). So if the spouse is really needed, we may have to reschedule which I’d hate to do

By hook or crook your spouse needs to go, do not reschedule, you need to get it while the getting is good!

Got interview scheduled for N400 so assuming it’s a combo interior!

Good move prepare for the combo and you'll  be good make sure you both go to the interview!

Filed: Jan 4

Biometrics taken: Jan 26; once taken, case tracker said actively being reviewed

Interview letter issued: Mar. 6

Interview: Apr. 10

 

I wouldn't meet the 3 year requirement until April 1.  I also front loaded my petition pretty heavily.  I don't have many documents listed on the interview letter that I actually have to bring to the interview.  

 

Mine is not a combo interview; I entered the US on an IR-1. 

Better read your interview letter again. You mentioned you did not have much to bring. The letter states if you submitted documents online then you should bring the originals with you to the interview. We all know they might now even ask to see them and what you uploaded is enough, but you gonna take that chance you get a IO in a bad mood that day. My wife's interview is on April 11th.

Just to be clear, are you saying that people who already received a 24 month extension letter are getting "replacement" 48 month letters in the mail?

 

My wife just got her 24 month letter in October so are they only sending these out for people whose extensions are close to expiring?

USCIS changed from 24 to 48 months on the GC extensions for the I-751. USCIS is starting to send the new 48 month letters out to eligible people yes!

Is there anyone who filed in Dallas TX ? Any movement?

I'm in that area, but you don't necessarily file in Dallas it's online, Dallas is the local office you will interview in Dallas though. My wife has an interview next month!

What is a combo interview? I just submitted mine today and I hope to travel in may for 10 days and I’m not sure if that’s a good choice but then again USCIS takes forever to process so I’m hoping it’s safe.

Combo interview is  a I-751 and N-400 interview combined.

yeah,  and let her claim monetary assistance, housing and medicaid and your I 864 will kick in for government to get the funds reimbursed to them

The bottom line after all is said and done, it's cheaper to keep her!

My goodness man, you are most confused. I don't think at this point you know what you wanna do. Better sit down  and breathe before you make any drastic moves. Bottom line you best consult a lawyer!

Speaking from experience, your best offense (since you are going to be the one filing) is to remain civil and cordial, the more you raise a ruckus with her the more pressure and reaction she can levy against you. Like what has been pointed out she only can get a 50/50 split of the assets you accumulated during the marriage, so stop accumulating!!

It is in your best interest to get the ball rolling NOW and end this swiftly. Encourage her to naturalize as also what was pointed out her naturalizing gets you off the hook for the I-864. Another important tip: Should you have carnal knowledge with her at any time during this time where you have made it known that you wanted a divorce that will go badly against you later in court. Also protect yourself against false domestic abuse allegations. Depending on your state and in most states the cards are going to be stacked against you.

My recommendations do a DIY divorce you can get the forms online again depending on your state. It works well especially if you have no kids as you say, and no property. If you are going to do it...DO IT. Mind you with today's divorces you do not need a reason to divorce each other. File before she does and I am sorry for your troubles, but like war marriage is hell and you have to defend and protect yourself.

I've got a question regarding N-400...

 

I got married to my spouse (U.S citizen by birth) on March 13, 2020 and we've been living together in the U.S since then. I received my 2-years Green Card on June 02, 2021. I know that one of the criteria to apply for N-400 is to be married for at least 3 years. Last week we completed 3 years of marriage and I was wondering if I'm eligible to apply for citizenship or do I have to wait June 02, 2024 to apply for it?

 

Thank you, 

R&E

Use the resident since date 3 years from that,  in addition to still being married to that same spouse. You can apply 90 days prior to you reaching 3 years.As what was pointed out use the USCIS early filing calculator to be sure. Have you already submitted your I-751 ROC? If not you will have to submit that first.

It would appear that in many of these cases, filing for citizenship is bubbling them from the bottom of the I-751 ocean floor to the surface.  People seem to be getting traction for combo interviews.  Just food for thought as you navigate what sounds like a rather exhausting journey!  

I agree with your statement!

If I do this now will I reset my n400 date? Or hurt my timeline in anyway. I applied back in 11/22 for n400

I don't  see why that would reset it you would upload as an additional document. Is your timeline correct it's  showing no NOA or Biometrics info for your N400 filed 11/2022?

Hey everyone,

 

My ROC application is still pending and I have the 24 months extension letter, how can I get the new 48 months extension letter? Can we apply for it or do they send it automatically?

19 hours ago, Reed1812 said:

They are being sent out automatically. I have not received mine (filed July 21) but was told by a number of people on the forum we should receive them.

I also haven't received mine yet. The common thing among the three of us here - all at the Texas Service Center (SRC), so hopefully it will happen soon.

Same here, SRC - June 2021

They (USCIS) are slowly starting to send them out it should not be to much longer for you all to receive them! Several folks including me have gotten them in the last couple of days!

Nothing here yet, June 2021 - SRC

I just got home from work and checked the mail.  We got our extension letter today to.  It's not the most exciting news, but what are you gonna do.

Are you going to submit the N-400?

Oh, in addition, Texas is a "community property" state, so you should get half of everything at least.

In other words, OUCH!

Thank you. I will do everything y’all advised. Good thing is my GC and passport are out of this house.  I will do a deeper research towards the custody of my child since he says I would lose cause I make less money but honestly, he doesn’t even know my child nor takes care of her other than providing a roof.

 Very hard for a man to wrest children from their mother especially in Texas. The woman would have to be a total incompetent to lose her kids to a man!

And the @Nishris needs to be LPR for at least 2 years 9 months (Resident Since date on GC) when filing N-400. I-751 can be pending when filing.

In fact the trend is starting to show that most people (here on VJ) do file their N-400 while their I-751 is pending. USCIS for some reason goes bananas when they see you have both a I-751 and a N-400 pending. They are adjudicating N-400s by the droves it seems. If you have any inclination to apply for your N-400 I would recommend you do it especially if you have a I-751 pending too! I've seen several cases here on VJ, where the I-751 got boosted out of the mud due to having a pending N-400. @Crazy Cat can vouch for that. While it's just speculation that your I-751 will be sped up if you submit a N-400, it does not hurt anything at all and can only help your cases. That's a rare gem when dealing with USCIS.

Guys I have a big news! Filled my doc 31st January. I just check and and my interview was scheduled for April. This makes me so happy but also worried. I didn't expect being so quick. I have 4 days trip out of the country the week after the interview. So I heard that I can not leave the country because I would have to give my card until I get the passport. Can somebody tell me more about it

Grats to you. But it sure would help others if you filled in your timeline. As we all help each other here in VJ.
