  1. What if I751 takes Longer to process than the 18 month CR Extension? - Do we have to file and pay for another extension for my wife? The USCIS is estimating it will take 17-36months to process the I751 but the CR extension is only for 18months. Thanks!
  2. Hey Visajourney team, We are a bit confused about when my wife can apply for citizenship. - I'm a USC, she received her Green Card on 8/3/19 (and expires 8/3/21) - Due to the pandemic and surgery, she was out of the US for more than 1 year and was approved for Returning Resident Visa - We came back into the US on 6/15/21 - We applied for I751/CR removal and NOA was received 7/23/21 Question: Exactly when can we apply for Citizenship N-400 - a) AFTER 2years and 9 month (AFTER returning from to the US on 6/15/21) or b) 2 years 9 months After she received her Green Card 8/3/19 (even though she was Out of the US for more than 12 months) or c) is it actually only After 2 years 1 day after either return to the US or receipt of GC? Thanks Jeff
  3. Thank you so much for your reply!! Yes, I was a bit confused about ROC - since it has to be done within 90days but I didn't realize that the GC card will expire for everyone before the ROC will expire... We will try to show shared finances though we don't have a joint bank account in the US yet (without a SSN)
  4. Thanks for your Fast reply! Maybe just the answers for question 2-4 would suffice. But to answer your questions: -Yes, we married on Oct 31, 2017 in the US and then left the country. -Both of us returned on 8/3/19 where her immigrant visa was approved and we returned back to her country on 9/15/19. We did NOT apply/receive a SSN for her at that time. Due to the pandemic, we stayed outside of the US for more than 12 months (plus USCIS had to correct and send her a new Green card which we only received in late Jan 2021). - She applied (which included physical, blood test, biometrics) and was approved for a Returning Resident Visa on 5/14/2021 and entered the US on 6/14/21. At this time, we were informed to wait a few weeks for the SSN to arrive and if it did not, to call SSN. If did NOT come after 3 weeks, so we just scheduled a SSN appointment for late July 2021 (though her LPR says CR1 expiring 8/3/21). So what would happen if we turned in the I751 tomorrow (7/14/21) and we didn't hear back from USCIS before her CR1 visa expires? Thanks Jeff
  5. Hello Visajourney members, We have an interesting case - how does the I751 and SSN relate? My wife (who is a permanent resident with a CR1 expiring 8/3/21 and immigrant visa expires 11/10/21) and I just returned to the US in June. We would have came earlier but she received the wrong USCIS # so we had to wait for them to send another card with the correct number. It arrived earlier this year where we had to get approved for the Returning Resident Visa (which included a physical, blood test and biometrics) since we were out of the US for more than 12months. When we arrived in June, we were informed both by USCIS and SSN to wait if her SSN card was going to arrive in a few weeks. Her SSN never came so we needed to request an appointment with the SSN office - its appointment is NOT until the end of July (1 week before her CR1 expires). And without a SSN, we can NOT have a joint bank account. We are turning in the I751 tomorrow A few questions: 1) Are the I751 (to remove CR1 conditions) and SSN processed by different departments? 2) What happens if her CR1 expires before USCIS gets back to us? 3) She JUST had a biometrics, physical and blood test just to get back to the States for the Returning Resident Visa - does she need to do it again/pay for it again? 4) Do we really need an affidavit - that includes signatures and is notarized by 2 people? (Especially when we JUST completed all the docs and exams for the Returning Resident visa)? Thanks Jeff
  6. Hello VisaJourney crew, My wife recently received a new green card (as the government informed us that her old card had the incorrect numbers). I'm a USC and my wife's new/correct green card does not expire until August 2021. She has been out of the US for more than 12 months due to COVID19 (international travel restrictions and Seattle/home town was one of the worst hit in the US for awhile - so we were waiting until the pandemic to improve before returning). Do you have any tips for applying for SB1 visa for her case? Thanks Jeff
