Brazil is one of the new additions to the PAUSE list of countries. I understand that, at the moment, this only applies to consular and embassy visa processing, but we all know it’s likely just a matter of time before USCIS starts doing the same.
I was planning to file my N-400 after filing my 2025 taxes, probably around March. Now, though, I’m hesitant to file it because I’ve read that USCIS issues a new extension letter for the N-400, and that it’s shorter than the current 48-month extension from the I-751.
I have a gut feeling that I should just wait and hope the I-751 process is completed first, but I’m still unsure if that’s the right course of action. I'd like to hear your opinions. Thank you.
