  1. Yes, that happened to me except the I-751 Interview was scheduled for the day after the N-400 Interview. So I called USCIS and they also could not see the letter in the system so I brought it with me to my N-400 Interview, the IO doing my interview thought it was really weird considering I already had an interview for my I-751 more than a year prior. So he took the letter and shredded it. It was an error.
  2. Looks like you just got a replacement DL to change the address on it, hence the same expiration (2025)
  3. My I-751 w Divorce Waiver took 4 years. I applied for N-400 though which I personally think helped with finally getting a decision on the I-751.
  4. I don't really agree with this. I had separate interview dates for my I-751 and N-400 and when I asked the officer who interviewed me for the N-400 about my I-751, he said he would talk to the officer that did my initial I-751 interview and ask why she hadn't made a decision yet.
  5. Impossible to make a rough estimate. I've seen various timeframes but in my case, they received my response to the RFE on 2/05/2020. I didn't get any reply until a little over a year later on 2/24/2021 which was an interview notice for my I-751 (interview was on 4/06/2021). Anyway, my I-751 was finally approved 1 year and 8 months after my interview on 12/08/2022. I actually believe my N-400 sped up my I-751 case because my N-400 interview was done on 08/04/2022, then 4 months later the I-751 was finally approved.
  6. No, you do not need to re-enroll. I also used my green card to enroll. After I Naturalized and eventually received my US passport, I contacted TSA Enrollment by IDEMIA (Because that is how I originally enrolled) at 855-347-8371. If you enrolled via CLEAR you can call 888-831-9070, or if you enrolled via TELOS the number is 833-777-1811. After I spoke with a representative, they had me email TSAEnrollmentDocuments@tsa.dhs.gov with my US passport and driver's license along with my information: First Name: Middle Name: Last Name: KTN: External ID # (which they gave me during the call) Then they confirmed my information was changed within 72 hours. Hope that helps.
  7. They did not allow me to change it in the Los Angeles office. But that was as of June 2023. Not sure if they have changed the rules now.
  8. Best place to start would be changing it with Social Security first since the DMV will use that information to confirm the name change later. You can use your marriage certificate as proof of name change. Just wanted to clarify though; you stated you signed your marriage certificate with your maiden name. Do you also mean that the printed name on the certificate is also your maiden name? Or you were just referring to your signature? Not sure what you have to do in regards to updating things with Canada. For travel: From my personal experience, I was able to travel with my GC even though it did not match my passport name because my passport name had my last name from my first marriage (I'm originally from the Philippines and they don't recognize divorce there, so I was unable to revert to my maiden name after divorce). So I traveled with my green card (under my maiden name) and PHIL Passport under my married name with no issues. I always brought my Divorce Decree with me in case I was questioned but customs never asked to see it.
  9. It is not needed but there's no harm in doing it. In my case, I sent photos without annotations with my initial I-751. I received an RFE and in my response to the RFE, I included photos with dates, captions, locations, and if it was a group photo I wrote who was in the photos with us. If the photos were vacation photos I included copies of the plane tickets and hotel bookings. I also sent social media posts with my response to the RFE (something I did not do for my initial I-751), I sent social media posts of us as a couple and made sure they saw the hundreds of likes and comments from friends and family. I know it wasn't needed but figured it would show that we were a legit couple who was very open about our relationship on social media.
  10. Wow! Congratulations on the fast passport receipt! You can now use your passport to update your SSN.
