Covax-
I know on the I-751 NOA it said you could send additional information to a particular address. If that is also listed on your N-400 NOA, I would suggest sending in the photos and a copy of the green card, and also make sure you take those items with you to your interview.
Good luck!

There's a great post by lucyrich that addresses this:
-
4. As long as the county issued the birth certificate, you should be fine (that's what we used for AOS, without any problems). As a precaution, you could also take your spouse's passport, for proof of citizenship.
-
Before you do the citizenship countdown you'll have the Removal of Conditions countdown. You apply for Removal of Conditions (I-751) during the 90 days before the expiration date on the two-year conditional green card.
Good luck!

I would recommend sending them as much information ahead of time as possible, and taking those same documents to the interview, rather than saving the documents for the interview alone.
If you can get a letter from your university, stating that you continued to be an enrolled student while you were abroad, that helps your case as it proves ties to the US during that time.
Good luck!

I think you need to apply for what's known as an "Entry Visa": https://indiavisa.travisaoutsourcing.com/guidelines?id=5. The Embassy that deals with NC applications is the Indian Embassy in Washington DC: http://indianembassy.org/newsite/visa.asp.
In your particular case, I'm not sure that India has the equivalent of a fiance visa, where you go to the country, get married and then stay as a spouse. The entry visa appears to be for people who are married to someone in India. Your best bet is to contact the embassy.
Good luck!

From the guides on VJ: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...st&p=574007
A very useful resource is the Guide to Naturalization from the USCIS website: http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/M-476.pdf

There are two other requirements:
1. physical presence - that you have been in the country for at least 18 months since you became a PR
2. continuous residence - that any single absence from the US is no longer than 6 months
For more details: http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/M-476.pdf

I agree with JG - enjoy the fact that your application has been approved.
If you run a search on the name of the person who "signed" the approval notice, you may find that it is the VSC/CSC director (that was the case for my notice). The notice lists your local office and gives you the address, but the format is confusing. My guess is that it is confirmation that your application was approved, in case the card gets lost in the mail and you need to follow up.
Congratulations!

Given that her current college address is probably only valid for this school year and that your address is her permanent address to which you want all USCIS-related mail directed, you would not need to report the address change.
If you look here: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD
under the "What Should I include?" section, it says "You do not need to include temporary addresses as long as you maintain your present address as your permanent residence and continue to receive mail there."
If I were you, I would not change her address.

Typically, 90 days before your conditional 2-yr GC expires.
However, if someone gets divorced before his/her card expires, he/she can apply as soon as the divorce is finalized, which can be before the 90-day window. Or, if the GC holder or his/her citizen spouse is in the military and gets deployed, the couple can apply before the 90-day window.

There are a couple of people on the CSC list who have K2 listed by their names. Perhaps you could send them personal messages to get a response?

As far as I know, you can take your initial biometrics notice and get your biometrics done on a walk-in-basis. Basically they need the notice to scan your case number. (When I posted earlier for some reason I didn't realize that you had your initial notice.)
I would suggest going in and trying a walk-in asap. Technically, missing a biometrics appointment is grounds for starting deportation proceedings.
-
At an infopass appointment they can give you a handwritten biometrics appointment notice - sometimes even for the same day. I would suggest going to your local office and asking them to do that.

It would be a good idea for you to start by reading the VJ guide to removing conditions:
http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...p;page=751guide
and also by looking through the I-751 form from the USCIS website (make sure you get the most recent version). Payment instructions are included in the instructions for the form. The advantage to sending a personal check is that you can track when it is cashed. You can't do that with a money order.
Once you've looked through those, check out the FAQs about Removing conditions: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=310
Congrats on the little one and good luck with the process!

I would recommend applying in person at the Consulates, if possible. I applied for both those visas last year and it was pretty easy to do in person (and my green card never left my possession).

It looks like you have plenty of evidence.
I don't think you need the affidavits and travel itineraries based on your other evidence.
Photos printed on paper should be sufficient.
If the form doesn't specifically request copies of the SS cards, passports and driver's licenses, they are not needed. As long as you make sure you include a copy of your wife's green card, you should be fine.
Depending on when you file and when your wife is leaving the country, I think you need to consider two things:
1. Either her green card must still be valid when she returns the the US or she needs the expired green card and a notice of action extending the validity of her green card.
2. The last time I checked, it looked like biometrics appointments were being scheduled about a month after the I-751 application was received at the service center. As long as you are available to request a rescheduled biometrics in case she is out of the country on her scheduled biometrics date, it should be ok for her to travel at that time.
Good luck!

Call the USCIS info line (number is on your notice) and follow the instructions for Change of Address. Whoever answers should be able to confirm for you that the address was changed correctly, or if it wasn't, should be able to help you get it changed.
-
Submit whatever you can (in your case, I would recommend re-submitting what you submitted earlier, just in case they misplaced parts of your file), and do include the explanation about the joint account. The worst they can do is call you in for an interview if they feel the evidence is still not sufficient.
Good luck!

Yes, some people. Look here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...5&start=225

Bulanglang,
You appear to have your NOA1 so there is no risk for you to not be able to take a job, as the NOA1 extends your green card for a year. You should have an unrestricted social security card.

Someone else on this board had sent an application via USPS and was able to track that it had been forwarded between Service Centers. I would recommend starting there, if applicable.
Something else that may matter is that there is a revised form for all I-751 applications received 9/23 and later. If you used the old form, you may have to re-submit an application with the new form.
If you have changed your address with the USCIS and you don't yet have an NOA1 with a case number, they probably won't match your new address to your application.
If I were you, I would start with whoever delivered the package to the service center to find out if it was forwarded. Once you know where it was delivered, I would suggest making an appointment at your local USCIS office and making an inquiry there.

All TSC I-751s should be going to VSC: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=140787
Perhaps your application is in the process of being forwarded to the correct office.
Question about Part 8 section G In N-400
in US Citizenship General Discussion
Posted · Edited by Mrs_S
I believe you need to fill in 2 if your spouse has been married once before, since your current marriage counts for the question, "How many times has your current spouse been married"?
On page 4 of the instructions for the N-400: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/N-400ins.pdf, it says that you need to fill out information about your current spouse's prior marriages in Section G, so yes, your husband's ex-wife's information needs to be filled in.
