  1. I forgot I could check online until I saw this, hah! I am so used to waiting in the mail for all these things. Interview is scheduled for October 2nd in San Francisco, just 2 weeks away . My husband has NOT been studying at all 🙄 so time for bootcamp lol.
  2. My husband just got an interview scheduled for his US citizenship and has travel planned of March of next year. To renounce Indian citizenship/passport it says you have to have the US passport. Can he still travel on his Indian passport or is that considered a penalty even if he hasn't received a US passport yet and just got his citizenship? Depending on the interview decision, maybe we will just need to expedite it or apply to make sure it arrives before his trip. Just bouncing off ideas here, thanks!
  3. A day after we got the green card approved (today), we got a notice that my husband's interview has been scheduled for citizenship. Best of luck to everyone still waiting! I'm sure it will come through soon.
  4. Thanks! It's San Francisco. By the way on the 16th we got a case status update saying Name was Updated, and just today a case status update saying they approved our case for the removal of conditions. It's funny, just as I was starting to wonder about it...
  5. @Olga&Jared I'm not sure if we have a local office yet, but we are also located in SF Bay Area so I'm guessing it will be either San Francisco or San Jose. The biometrics and other notice still say NBC the National Benefits Center as the service center. Good to know we're not the only ones waiting! I'm not too worried about the timing anyway, we have the extended green card which enables my husband to work, etc. It's just good to know we are still in normal processing times.
  6. Yes...we are still waiting. No update for sevaral months other than another 2 year extension letter. Our N400 says 1 day left for the estimate so maybe we'll get some movement soon.
  7. Maybe they need a different image? Or signature? Does the image follow all the specifications? Are they both on a white background?
  8. I filed beginning of December and still waiting. The processing time says 9 months so not sure what the time is to get an interview
  9. My husband got UI benefits when he got laid off during Covid. We didn't run into any problems. He had his green card at the time.
  10. Yes, we applied online. Received another update just now that biometrics have been applied.
  11. I would follow the N-400 instructions regarding the photos since it is probably most up to date. The link I shared is just from Visajourney guidelines and may be out of date on that aspect. But as far as marriage evidence it looks about the same, tax transcripts/tax returns, green card copy, spouse's proof of US citizenship, shared bills/leases, child birth certificates, etc.
  12. You can view the guide here that lists what documents you will need: . I did the online application and they list the documents needed at the end as well.
  13. I have OCI and it is is a separate card from the passport. Yours is a separate document right? There was an update and there is no longer a need to the reissuance of OCI card when a new passport is received. See here: https://www.indianembassyusa.gov.in/pages/NjI (i) Mandatory requirement of re-issuance of an OCI card each time a new passport is issued to a foreigner up to 20 years of age and once after completing 50 years of age, is dispensed with; Don't think there is any issue that your passport expired...
  14. Update on my case a little over a week after applying for N400. Case is being transferred to another USCIS office.
  15. Yea perhaps a glitch. My wait time did go down though, it was 10 months now it says 9 .
  16. Yes, we got this same message. But I am thinking the change was they updated it that there was need no to do biometrics and the wait time had also reduced. There was also 2 letters in the system, one receipt letter and another one that said we didn't need biometrics. I'm guessing that triggered an automatic response that there was an update to the case.
  17. Filed today online, wish us luck! We filed removal of conditions the end of November last year. Not sure why we keep doing that lol.
  18. Yes my husband and I have both traveled at separate times during Covid and he is traveling again tomorrow internationally. Usually you just have to get negative covid tests before and after but I would check Thailand's restrictions. Some countries have quarantine or different visas then normal. United has a travel map that is linked at the top of their website that usually has pretty accurate information. https://www.united.com/ual/en/us/fly/travel/restrictions-map.html On the way back to the US, it says my husband does need to show both proof of vaccination AND a negative covid test because he isn't a citizen yet. I have other US friends come back here and they just needed the test.
  19. Nope, didn't get ours yet and we are moving next month as well. I think with mail forwarding you have nothing to worry about...I believe there is also a place to update on uscis I did that before for my husband's k1 and we got whatever notice it was at the new address.
  20. This happened to us for a different notice at one point, but I don't remember which one. I think I filed something on the Uscis website for missing mail and it was sent again.
  21. My husband's window opened up on the 23rd but I just sent the packet on Saturday and it arrived today. So we may land in December filing group too!
  22. My husband's earliest date to file was 11/23 but didn't want to send it before Thanksgiving holiday and needed one more affidavit from my mom. Sent it today via FEDEX 11/27 and it is scheduled to arrive 12/1...oh so maybe I'm a December filer. lol.
  23. It went fine! We waited together until we were called and I didn't expect to be able to stand there for the whole interview, but they let me! Yes they asked some questions. Here is my review I did then because I've forgotten the details by now: https://www.visajourney.com/reviews/view-dos-cis-reviews.php?entry=25940
  24. I'm not sure of now in present times with Covid protocols, but I did over 2 years ago when I petitioned by then fiance and now husband.
