The two assertions are not necessarily mutually exclusive, except for the term "fair". Like I wrote earlier, with a very neutral tone, data seems to suggest that 5-year LPR cases are processed slightly faster than 3-year LPR marriage-based cases. And the reason might be purely practical.Cases are indeed processed in the order they are received, but a 3-year LPR case might require more examination (and sometimes RFE etc...). If this should happen, I presume the Case Officer will not just sit there idle, and will move, in the meantime, to the next. If that one is a 5-year LPR case that is very "vanilla" (no criminal records etc...), that case will probably move faster.
In the end, and overall, this might explain why the 5-year LPR cases move faster to completion, regardless of it being fair or not.
Hi Vinny, I didn’t quote you. I quoted a piece from someone else. Why would it be fair that someone applying under the 5 year rule should be adjudicated faster simply because they have waited longer to apply. However if applying under the 5 year is easier to adjudicate than a 3 year then fine, that logic makes sense.

It seems only fair since they've been waiting longer than the 3-year marriage folks.
I prefer the USCIS line "We generally process cases in the order we receive them" not whether you applied under the 5 year rule or the 3 year rule. And both are adjudicated fairly under the merits on which they were submitted. Just saying

April 2021 for me

I’ve been using Chrome as standard and the only issue with the USCIS webpage was when I deleted one file and then on refresh, all files were gone. Not sure if that had anything to do with the browser choice but anyways, uploading was never an issue using Chrome..

Wondering if anyone doing AOS for a 10 year GC will have their interview waived?

Here we go...this might turn out to be the longest part of the immigration journey but we have at least set foot on the path.
Based on 3 years of marriage. Window opened up yesterday but submitted today.

Thank you! That ticket is old, and I'm not sure how to go about getting proof of it, but I could try the county I was ticketed in. 🤔
A couple of weeks back, I was able to retrieve the record from a ticket issued in 2003 by emailing the clerks from 5 different court districts handling the issuing county. Haha. I’m taking no chances...

Feel free to include your data, and please be careful when editing this file so we don't delete any information.
Hi, the sheet has been set as “view only”

I found that if I deleted a file, it would delete all files.

Did you already remove the conditions on your green card? When did you get approved? Let me know if you have any questions on the N400 application:)
We were married 12 years before I applied for AOS so we were not subject to a conditional GC. My application is all ready to go ...just need to press “submit”
-
Will be eligible, based on marriage, to submit on the 22nd (plus a day or so to take account of the nuances of the online system). Will add my time line once submitted.
Good luck to all!

I filled out the form before I was eligible and then when I was eligible it was all ready to go and I just had to pay and press “submit”.
Mine has been filled out since the New Year but I’m not eligible to apply until March 22nd. Will wait a couple of days beyond that before I hit that submit button.

My question to you all is if anyone knows if there is any difference between submitting online or via lockbox? Is there any benefit of doing it online? Going into the myuscis website I see you can add your paper application receipt number, once you have one.
Hope you can provide some guidance! Thanks!
Just a comment; I will be filing in March and have been working through the online system. It is very easy to navigate and self explanatory, I wont be using a lawyer.
I originally went with a lawyer for my GC application. Afterwards he told me that folks typically don't use his services for straight forward N400 applications; said the process is much simpler than the GC application and a lawyer or 3rd party would be a waste of one's money.
-
Just a FYI; I removed one of the files from the online system last night and this morning when I logged in to keep updating the application, I saw that ALL my uploads were gone. Thinking the error was maybe located somewhere between the keyboard and the seat, I tried removing a file again and confirmed that the issue is with the online system when it deleted ALL files again.
Be careful when removing uploads prior to hitting that submission button!

Except for the lack of court order, I'm in the same position as your fiancé of supporting a child internationally.
When we lived in the UK, it was monthly standing orders to her account and now from the US, I send via PayPal. I have all the bank statements from my old UK bank and I save all PayPal statements. Both types of statements have her name as the recipient so why else would I be sending her money other than to help support my son.
There's not much more you can do.

My situation is that I will be applying for naturalization in early 2020 but I always like to get my ducks in a row before doing anything.
My son was born in Houston and moved to England when his mum and I got divorced. I stayed in the US for another 3 years, got re-married but I always sent child support to his mom without fail.
My wife and I then moved to the U.K. due to work commitments and of course we were both now being paid in GBP. My ex and I therefore agreed that I should start to pay child support in GBP as opposed to the US dollar. We did the conversion at that time and I've been paying that amount in GBP ever since. After 6 years in the U.K., we moved to SE Asia and although I was being paid in US dollars, she was happy to continue to be paid in GBP thus not being affected by the monthly differences in conversion rate. Even after when we moved back to the US and I was still being paid in dollars..
I've read the N400 proof of moral conduct so, getting my ducks in a row, I contacted my old bank in the U.K. And thy provided me with proof of payments for the past 5 years, I've got print outs of sent checks for additional monies that I gave her to help pay for his education. I asked her for a notarized letter stating that she agreed to be be paid in GBP (if not obvious, our divorce decree amount is in US dollars - I should have stated that before) but she's not playing tag with me. I've even got wire requests from before I moved to the UK but I'm still concerned that her being paid in GBP which in US equivalent money is about $40 less than the divorce decree says I should have been paying. Should I be worried? I don't have any proof that she was happy to be paid in GBP and as I mention when doing the conversion today, it's about $40 less than the dollar equivalent.

The time until you should get your biometrics appt letter. Mine counted down to zero and of course, due to office closures, my estimated wait time is now “taking longer than expected”
