No, not everyone can afford to own their house (me included)

just to be clear, what are u trying to do? reschedule a biometric appointment at USCIS office ? as far as i know, u cant "choose" bio appointment rescheduling date. or did i get ur question wrong?

i really thought as in "fraud" question, that is my understanding. edit. i saw it's n-400 question. i filed many n-400 marriage base, and i always choose : NO. they all got their citizenship

lol, thats not what it mean

It’s recognized by other government agencies because the marriage certificate is a legal document proving the name change. Although “changing your name” and “taking your spouse’s name” seem the same to us, government agencies treat them differently. The officer is correct about the uncertainty, as my research also revealed that confusion. When someone takes their spouse’s name upon marriage and then divorces, they can easily revert to their maiden name. In contrast, since I pursued a formal name change through probate court, katering my middle name and adopting my husband’s last name (which has the same meaning as my father’s original last name), I cannot simply revert to my maiden name if we divorce, because a judge approved it. This makes sense given the judicial process involved. I’m not planning to revert to my maiden name anyway, because it holds no meaning in my own family (long story). By the way, you can always change your name at probate court after naturalizing if it’s cheap enough in your county. You don’t need to apply for a new naturalization certificate because the court order is the legal document proving you’re the same person. I did it before filing because I just wanted everything to match in the future.

Well did u change ur name in the end or u cancel the name change part ? If you change ur name, u need to see before judge for judicial oath ceremony. U can’t do administrative oath ceremony (USCIS officer ). It’s right if you did change ur name, it can delay the oath ceremony especially in small city like my city 😂 if you just take ur spouse last name and u have marriage certificate to prove it, it’s not considered name change, so USCIS officer can do oath ceremony for u. that’s why I decide to change my name in probate court. Only $85 in my county. I filed on 12/23. I will see the judge tomorrow and will get the court order same day, then I will apply for n-400. My early filing window open yesterday. But if u decide not to change ur name, that means ur field office just busy.

did u change ur name?

per 12/15 if your biometric on file is more than 3 years old, USCIS will send biometric appointment. is it gonna delay the case? maybe yes maybe not. nothing we can do though

most asylum cases are denied due to bogus asylum cases. read this : https://www.aila.org/library/a-fiefdom-on-long-island-an-investigation-into-the-culture-and-practices-of-the-new-york-asylum-office i happened to be interviewed in the same asylum field office. even when i can answer all the questions flawlessly my case still referred to immigration court (removal proceeding). at the court she will have to attend master calendar hearing just to set the date of individual hearing. it can be 6 months to - 5 years and often the court reschedule the hearing due to various reason for example : IJ passed away, IJ moved/retired etc etc.

Try ilovepdf. I experienced same issues 3 days ago. I used pdf pro, it won’t budge. Someone mentioned about ilovepdf and that one works

No one can stop u to file it by yourself. Like I said u might have issue to find lawyer

The moment you hired an attorney, just submit the G28 on the portal if possible. And also bring that form on the interview

do you have straight forward case? or something that you concern with? can u still hire a lawyer? sure u can if/when you find one. most lawyer usually dont want to take halfway case, because they dont know your immigration history. you should do diligent and call lawyer's office to find out if they want to come with u on the interview. normally just form G-28 that need to be submit

im not trying to be rude here, and not harsh at all, but u sound so entitled, all i can read here is WHERE IS MY RIGHT AS A TOURIST? ( YOU HAVE NONE). all i read on ur long passage just list of things that doesnt mean anything to CBP. if u think u are entitled to have that right, u wont be on a visa tourist right now, u will be a LPR or USC. u also wrote contradictive posts, 1 time u said u are not working at all, and the other post u said YOU WORK REMOTELY WHILE YOU ARE IN THE US SOIL. so which one? WORK IS WORK. REMOTE WORK, IN PERSON WORK ARE THE SAME. ITS WORK. and before u said im so mean, no im not mean, im trying to open ur eyes. and yes, i've been on the office like u too, but i dont have that same expectation like you. i want to enter the US and only they can decide.i dont list any all my demand as a tourist just because I ALSO (like u) come from well background, very well educated, always have nice jobs, came from money and traveled to 32 countries, live in 3 countries SO FAR. it doesnt justify me to complain about GIVE ME MY RIGHT AS A TOURIST. again, u are a tourist and not citizen. in the end of the day, can you say NO to all their questions? of course u can, it's not they gonna hurt you if u just stay quiet and refuse to answer any of their questions. but they also can refuse you, and nothing u can do. so what's it gonna be?

19 months has passed between the day i filed to the day of the interview. so from thin evidence to big stack (it's adjustment of status and i was at that time in removal proceeding)

original = put in the accordion with tab title copy (to hand out to officer) = loose leaf paper with tab on the right hand side. clip with 1 jumbo paper. when officer asked "is there any additional documents that u want to submit?". i handed out the whole stack of "copy" to her approx 500 pages ( before people comment it's overkill, its not in my case, so dont assume its overkill) and i tell her "pick whatever u need, u can see the tabs so u can just pull it out to make it easier". she keep flipping the pages made me super nervous. she asked my husband "who prep this?", my husband just nod his head toward me and said "she's the one with OCD" LOL. the officer said to me "nicely done!". in the end, when i asked, so is there anything that u want to hand out back to me? she said "i will take it all". so to answer ur question : whichever method is game on, just make sure u dont fumble around, keep flipping because u cant remember where did u put the document. u can do whatever u want with 1 thing in mind : DO IT FAST AND PRECISE. good luck

do u have a chance to get i-751? perhaps - if u have tons of bonafide marriage evidence. the mind set here : overwhelmed them with great evidences and not just a bare minimum. think like this is ur very last chance to win ur case. u get i-751 approved, u can close ur case with immigration court with ur approval notice dont waste ur money for n-400. get the i-751 approved first, then thing about n-400. u can file n-400 all u want but if i-751 not approved, u donate ur money to USCIS

he's useless and clueless about his own case. he keep asking me questions while he has his own lawyer. i'm overload myself with work, study for LSAT and life i have no time to coach and "hold his hand" on this.this is the type of person who doesnt want to learn about his case, everything i asked, the answer is "i dont know". beyond my free help. he's been whining about "where's my GC" for years (filing in 2019 marriage), but he never say he is in removal proceeding. and i was like "there's no way u gonna get ur GC if u have a case in the court". i actually suspected when his 485 case is admin closed, usually admin closed = court. i asked him, and he said " what is removal proceeding?" few days later he said " oh yeah i went to court once" but he take it so casually and he didnt know what it meant when he went to the court. in the beginning he never say anything about court at all. i sent him to other lawyer (good one), even that lawyer said this case is super strange. the one that he currently hire unfortunately is the same ####### lawyer that i used to hire. to answer ur question, did he do FOIA? judging the quality of my lawyer, they probably wont do anything and he's gonna be siting duck. i will keep u posted when i found out new news. p.s after i got my GC, i did FOIA of my case through USCIS and EOIR. i got everything started from early 2000 (not before 2000 probably not digitalize). even the EOIR is complete but since my case removal proceeding through asylum case, the file its not thick (but it is complete)

depend on which ICE office? some maybe are willing to take the correspondency than the other. there's an acquaintance also in similar issue. but USCIS admin closed i-485 and tell them to deal with IJ. while the case in IJ also lost somehow ( this is around 2003 when people from muslim country have to report to ICE after 9/11) seems that person got NTA and in removal proceeding. i agree with you, dont rock the boat if nothing can be done, stay put, dont look for trouble, in 3 years, naturalize and then can travel

when u put ur alien number on EOIR case status, what did it say?

if you are not OCD like me, there's no problem. if it happened to me, i will chase uscis to correct it. but to answer your question, there are many2 people who filed to USCIS never have online account. do not ask me why? some people just dont really care. in the end of the day, if u cant get online account work, u still gonna have the snailmail for everything anyway 2 friends cant get online account work, even after make a new account and request online code. it's okay, its not the end of the world.

i just appealed and they reopened the case. OMG cant believe these people.LOL

its 50-50. some case it's link (like mine), some case it's not link(friends), have to request online code, when online code not working, means u have to create a new account. it's uscis, it's always 50-50 chance.

i finally get response today from CBP said they gonna closed my submission because i didnt submit signature request (which i did). i filed 3 months ago. i just submit appeal because literally on the portal it showed that i already supply everything that they asked for, they just blind and cant see. let see how long it's gonna be. some people reported its around 13 months wait.

smaller cities has less civil surgeon hence they charge whatever they want, while big cities like NYC, LA, Chicago, hundreds of USCIS appointed civil surgeon that have competitive price. sometimes i think to drive further away to get cheaper price actually its not a bad idea (i drive electric, so gas price is not really an issue). where i live at that time i need i-693 there are only 7 civil surgeon and the cheapest are almost $400 (almost 3 years ago) without any vaccines ( i have complete vaccines that's needed & i got it not because of i-693 requirement). now, it's down to 5 civil surgeons and the price is getting ridiculous and their office to be funny and said " u have to be our patients aka u have to get a primary care from our office" which is stupid since i have one and i don't want to switch just because i need to see civil surgeon. while i did call almost 80 civil surgeons in NYC/NJ in 1 day, and their pricing is incredibly stupid cheap. i can even find civil surgeon in Flushing (local chinatown in Queens, NY) for $95 without vaccine at that time
