    I will keep the approval notices which amounts to...4-5 pages? But that's all, everything else if I ever need it I already have scans (AOS, ROC, N-400) and there's always FOIA. I asked to have the oath late June due to surgery and hope that it doesn't create too many problems. I rationally know the online status doesn't mean much but it's still on Interview was Scheduled grrr. I do have an approval on hands so I know it will be fine.

    It says you are ineligible because your application is incomplete. I wouldn't hold my breath on it and move forward with a new one, another vote for spousal visa
  14. jackiegringa started following Short-term employment abroad, 179 days, will that be a problem on N400? and Processing Time WENT UP
  15. jackiegringa
    The time provided on your online USCIS account is not reliable. The numbers go up and down without any reason, guide yourself by the processing times provided at https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ This is an average of all processes and also gives you a date where your process will be out of regular processing time, which is when you can start taking action. Hopefully your case won't get to that point though, regardless do not take the online account number as indicative of anything.

    Congrats! I am still waiting on online status change but I have a feeling I won't get the oath until much later...

    Approved this morning, had my spouse with me at first for the ROC part. A couple of basic questions of when we started dating, marriage, honeymoon. Then the officer asked for him to leave and started to ask the civics questions, read and write. After that we went through the yes/no questions, confirmed my information and I got the N-652 with approval. Waiting for status to change and oath scheduling now!

    All pages, your scanner most likely allows you to pick the file type and PDF might be preferable. Maybe if the file is too big, lower the resolution of the scan. I did quarterly statements, so 4 per year.

    You're trying to find a rational explanation for a USCIS process. That way lies madness, I'd just file the RFE and be happy it's done
  29. jackiegringa
    Does it really matter? Will there be an answer that will satisfy you? Every time you interact with immigration, including CBP they take your biometrics, as an immigrant you don't get a lot of say of when and how your image and fingerprints are going to be used. Since your at the end of your journey, with a couple a weeks until the end, just focus on the light at the end of the tunnel and let the rest fall away. You're done!
  30. jackiegringa
    Another less stressful explanation is that they need you to send updated evidence from date of filing until now, it's been a year or so. I'd take that as sign that the I-751 could be approved soon after they receive the RFE.
  31. jackiegringa
    No one is coming over to ask you about it. You're the one that need to file an application with evidence of continuous residency.
  32. jackiegringa
    Processing times for VSC are 26 months so you're well within that. I don't think your representative can do much at this point. If citizenship is the end goal there's no reason to wait until is done. The processes can run in parallel and lots of people get scheduled for their N-400 way before the I-751 gets adjudicated, give or take a couple of weeks for the approval if it's not a combo interview.

    Ok, this is a great thing to learn when dealing with immigration: answer what was asked. Don't say anything extra. It will make things straightforward. This is advice you pick up by hanging around forums and people sharing their experiences, so find the AOS monthly thread for your process and read the posts. I'm mentioning this because I stated some examples of standard questions you might be asked and you replied with both families backgrounds and issues. The answer to "have you met family?" is yes/no if yes, when. Nothing else is needed and might save you extra questioning for volunteering information. The more financial mingling the better, photos and affidavits are secondary evidence. Treat it as a job interview where you need to put your best foot forward. The immigration officer doesn't care about your love language and anxiety, they care if you got married to get a green card or not - this is very matter of fact what is being probbed in the AOS process. Good luck!

    Not really, interviews are part of the immigration process. Understand the forms your filling, have a conversation with your spouse about the answers you both have for basic questions like where did you meet, habe you met family, names and dates for important things etc. You don't have to worry if your relationship is genuine. After AOS you will have ROC and possibly naturalization if desired. Get comfortable with immigration forms, norms and procedures. You can't let anxiety ruin a straight forward process, even if it's stress inducing and infuriating as times.

    Considering they all have 10 year green cards and there are no long trips (6 months) outside of the us, your husband should be already eligible. You check it yourself here https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship-resource-center/learn-about-citizenship/naturalization-eligibility-tool

    Yeah that's bs. You had all past three returns as expected, it's not April 15, there is no reason for it to be the one piece of evidence that will approve or not your application. Someone just needed to feel important, it will delay but it won't stop you, it's the home stretch! Good luck
