  1. 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.

  2. 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!

  3. 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!

  4. 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!

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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!

  9. 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!

  10. 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.
