Gotcha! That makes sense now! Thank you very much guys!

I'm not sure if this is the right forum and I haven't been able to find a concrete answer elsewhere. So I know people file the N400 while their I751 is pending, however my wife's GC doesn't expire until 06/2024, meaning we couldn't file the I751 until 03/2024. However, She came on a K1 visa on 09/16/2020 and we got married on 09/17/2020. Wouldn't that mean she could file for the N400 after her 3 years of being here, since our 3 years would be 09/17/2023, and you could apply 90 days earlier (which would be in a few days from now)? If so, is it allowed to file for the N400 before filing the I751?

Thank you for the reply! Also, I actually found out that my wife’s sister is unmarried but it doesn’t look like the really speeds up the process at all since she turns 21 this year. So it looks like her best option is just a tourist visa for now right? Even then she still has to go back to Mexico after her visits correct? Just sucks because i did want, as well she, for her kids to have the chance at a US education over Mexico’s.

So my wife is eligible to take her USC test next year so naturally we started thinking about starting the process of moving her family (Mexico) over to the US as well. I have a very close relationship with her family and would love for them to come to the US. Her family is as such: Dad (42) Mom (42) Sister (20 married w/ 2 children) Brother (11 but was born in the U.S.) Sister (10) Being that her brother was born in the US I know she won’t have to petition for him. Is it true the wait time for her sisters to be able to come over as a LPR would be 22 years right now? Is there any options for them to be in the US faster permanently? How long would it take for her parents to be LPRs? Also, in case you are wondering about her USC brother, her and her family was in the US unlawfully from 1999-2011 in which her father was deported and the rest of the family voluntarily left back to Mexico with only her father incurring a 10 year ban.

Hey guys! After a long wait my wife finally received her GC after adjusting from a K1 visa and we are very excited! However, we noticed her permanent residency card still has her maiden name even though we have been married for almost 2 years now. Is this normal or is this a mistake? I saw that I would have to file an I90 to change it which would take months. Which would obviously suck because after 2 years of waiting we just got it today and it would be a real buzzkill to wait months again.
