    When in doubt I would focus on the form instructions, which for the N-400 say: So to me it makes sense to include evidence like the above even if some of it overlaps with that submitted for the I-751.

    I would go further to say it’s advisable for both U.S. citizen petitioners/sponsors and immigrant beneficiaries to steer clear of the cannabis industry or any others that remain illegal at the federal level until the naturalization process is complete.

    Did you read the I-864 instructions? Specifically the part that reads: Edit: I see this was already pointed out. For what it’s worth, I took a belt and suspenders approach and provided both an employer letter and six months of recent pay stubs.

    Can’t speak from personal experience but others on these forums have mentioned saying (repeatedly if necessary) “infopass” on the phone system or typing “live agent” in the chat to reach someone. It seems like Tier 2 officers usually can’t be reached right away and have to call you back, as you have seen. If you have already tried the phone route multiple times, maybe time to switch it up and do the live chat? Fingers crossed that maybe your document request from 5/29 will still result in the correct extension letter being mailed, there’s still time before all hope is lost.

    Even if it is, I would not risk international travel with the printed PDF version. Best bet at this point would be to try to get an in-person infopass appointment for an ADIT stamp. You will probably have to keep being persistent with that and also with any attempts to reach a Tier 2 officer to see if another (in their eyes) copy of the extension letter can be sent out without waiting for 30 days. Edit: paging @mindthegap who has the most experience getting stamps in person…

    When you mentioned the online case inquiry, are you referring to this form? https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDNForm.do?sroPageType=ndn&entryPoint=init And if so, does it not allow you to submit another request within 30 days there, or was that only what you were told on the phone?

    In our state (NM) the Real ID compliant driver licenses or state IDs are only issued for one year at a time to conditional GC holders. We were told at the MVD office that this restriction comes from DHS. The license/ID itself is also marked “TEMPORARY” at the top. Since the deadline for Real ID compliance keeps getting pushed back we’ll probably do the non-Real ID version (issued for 4 years) next time around, which may not be an option in other states.

    Perhaps it was due to a very literal interpretation or too quick of a reading of the “shouldn’t travel with them” part of the sentence below: In any case, your plan sounds fine. Some actionable advice for anyone else reading this thread could be to keep in mind that 1)form I-90 can be filed as early as 6 months before the GC expiration, 2) USCIS is sending 24-month GC extensions with the receipt notice but the original card must be present (so best to wait to send it in until asked through an RFE), and 3) as @Crazy Cat mentioned, an unexpired GC is not strictly necessary for travel back to the US but it’s a lot less stressful to have something (GC, GC + extension letter, I-551 stamp) that hasn’t expired.

    But on the other hand, 12 years of marriage with the petitioner in the US is a long time to have not done a single thing on that front. That is, of course, assuming the idea is to live together in the US which is a big “if” as you have pointed out.

    Not sure what evidence @LBX already has, but I will also point out that given the amount of time you have been married, evidence of a shared financial life in the US would also be important - e.g. adding your spouse to bank accounts, credit cards, insurance, retirement accounts, tax returns, etc. This is more difficult when one of the spouses is out of the country and doesn’t have an SSN but can be done with enough persistence. You can search these forums for guidance.

    Just finished uploading the second 4 months' worth of additional evidence. Much smoother this time around.
  12. JKLSemicolon
    I might suggest putting N/A in whatever required name field does not apply, along with a more detailed explanation in the Additional Information section.

    Congrats! We haven’t heard anything yet but plan to upload more unsolicited evidence this week to cover January-April 2024, to add to the unsolicited evidence already submitted covering September-December 2023.

    One other thing regarding the birth certificate, have you looked into getting it through a third-party service such as this one (which I have used previously for a different state)?
  15. JKLSemicolon
    One option on that list is going through an attorney, which as @OldUser said in the first reply could be useful anyway given the nature of the situation.
