The 751 interview did not happen. Lol. They just wanted to see my spouse present and that was enough. 😀

NVM. My journey has ended today N400 and I-751 combo interview and oath-ceremony same day!

What does this mean when I have a 10 yr old petitioned by my USC spouse?

I just received an I-751 interview letter. Same time and date with my N-400. Combo interview indeed. My uscis account didn't show the I-751 letter though. It's a good thing I still keep track of our mail through USPS informed delivery. Wish me luck!

Will do! Please file now cause it takes a very long time! My 751 was also filed the same month and year as yours, Sept '21.

October 2022. My i-751 is still pending

SRC here. No updates on I-751 but interview is scheduled on July 11th, Atlanta field office.

No, mine is in our local USCIS office. In Atlanta

N400 is going to be your state's local USCIS. From NBC to your state. Like this screenshot.

If I may ask, where did you set up the appointment and what are the requirements?

You should be physically present at the time of the application. Here's the reference.

Thank you!

In my receipt notice, there is no priority date. Is that normal?

We are in the same boat It was 11:27 pm last night but receipt notice was 10/25/2022.

Got back from Philippines yesterday. I cannot believe it but I'm relieved that the check in with customs was 200% easy! I went home to pick up my son (IR2) so we needed a lot of documents to get in right? But lo and behold, they checked his passport with visa and mine was of course extension letter and expired green card. Took 5 minutes. Thanks be to God!

Thanks for the advice! I'll do that when I'm back.

Thanks. I just don't want to spend another expensive plane ticket as we all know USCIS schedules are unpredictable. This trip is work + personal related.

My Philippine trip is coming up end of the month. I've got all documents ready including extension letter. Will be returning Jan 1 2023. I'm eligible for citizenship Aug 22nd. I'm thinking of delaying the submission of N400 until Nov or Dec. I'm gonna be okay right?

Awesome to know that!!! I will have everything ready then 😀

Good points. Yes, this trip is unavoidable because no one in my family has a current US tourist visa and have not renewed since the pandemic happened. I may stay for a couple of months more at least until after my son's interview because once he's approved, it may take a maximum of 60 days before they send back his passport with his approved US visa and us traveling together ❤️ I hate that we wouldn't know the actual timeframes in USCIS processing nowadays, but I agree with you when you say it's better to be safe than sorry. I still want to spend the holidays with my parents and siblings though! Let's see. Lol. Wish me luck. Thank you for your reply!

Good morning! I'm here to seek an advise and opinions regarding my case. -Filed September '21 for I-751, pending status. I received re-used biometrics and an extension letter. -My N-400 can be filed starting on August 22. -Simultaneously, my son who is immigrating from Philippines is scheduled to be interviewed in the embassy in September as IR2 category. -I am responsible of course to pick him up and have bought a ticket to go there by end of August. -Why so early? I am also responsible to accompany him to his medical exam, prepare all his paperwork 2 weeks before the interview and be there for his 10th birthday in August as well. Now my question If I file N-400 first week of my eligibility, how long till I get a bio letter and schedule for interview? Plane tickets are extremely expensive and I wanted to come back with my son without having to make 2 trips, if my N400 case is updated quickly.

That's great! I'm traveling next month to the Philippines with the same documents. Wish me luck!

Will this be an email or a physical letter? I received this today, for my son who is an IR2, under 21 years old. How long till we get the notice?

Your marriage date does not matter. What matters is the expiration date on her conditional green card for renewal. She will not receive her 10 year green card until she files it at least 90 days of the original expiration date on her gc. If she's eligible now file it asap because it can take months/years for approval. I renewed mine September '21 and is still waiting for approval, just like all my fellow September filers. Lastly, a gc holder must have a permanent residence here in the states, otherwise, she may be tagged abandoning her resident status and may be questioned as to why she did not, resulting to USCIS questioning her validity and having difficulties when applying for citizenship.

I am concerned that your question lacked context and people from other countries will see this and assume they can do it like you. It is a matter of educating other immigrants as I, myself is having a difficult time traveling, especially for work purposes. Having the opportunity to travel, say in Mexico and Turkey, all paid expenses at work but has to go through the hassle of applying for visas to enter some countries with an expired gc, home country passport and an extension letter. Sorry if you find my comment funny but serious to other people. It's a matter of education for others, not questioning your knowledge.
