It's hard to follow your story because you said you became a citizen through marriage but now wants to file for a green card for your ex-wife. So you married wife A, both of you not US citizens. Divorced wife A, married wife B, she was a US citizen and got you your citizenship. Now you are thinking of remarrying wife A, is that it? Besides extra scrutiny to clarify you didn't just married your wife B for citizenship purposes I don't see why not. Be prepared to prove your marriage to the US citizen was genuine and that you're not just trying to get citizenship for your non US wife. If you knew your non US wife before obtaining citizenship that will be another hurdle to prove you didn't marry just to get yourself and your first partner a US passport.

Got my citizenship interview scheduled for April 11, no mention of ROC and my case is still on "received on Jan 23" status. Will be prepared for a combo, I also used the template and added to the N-400 application.

Months? Gah that's not so encouraging... But maybe we get the nice 4th July Arch ceremony

Interview scheduled for April 11, hooray! I was worried about an interview later in the year due some health issues but since it's going to be next month that won't be problem. This is the first time USCIS actually scheduled something in my favor lol

You should have a 4 year extension on this GC based on your I-751 application. If I would travel internationally while trying to straighten things out with USCIS is a different issue.

Woo! My received date is the 22, if I could get the interview done before May it'd be a great help for me, this gives me hope!

You will receive a two year extension on that green card with the application for citizenship, so the process can go for much longer and she will still have a valid green card in hand.

Op has been a green card holder for a long time, it would be nice if everyone filled out their timeline!

Hey St Louis FO here too. Seems like our office is not as fast as others!

Same, I don't believe I will see movement until I get a naturalization interview scheduled (filed Jan 24).

Honestly I fail to understand what status or work authorization you were here for 4 years after graduation. While the EB1 was being processed, is it like an AOS that you have "authorizied stay"? If you had any income, was it through what type of job/visa? These questions are not just curiosity but for clarity on what type of ban if any you'd be under when you leave the US.

Extremely unlikely you will be granted a non immigrant visa after applying for a green card. I don't think you have many options here, EB1 has certain criteria that you either meet or you do not and if even with an appeal you got denied that is it. Your time in the US is coming to a close, OPT is attached to the school somewhat and it is for immediate employment after graduation, that ship has sailed.

It might just take time, i wouldn't worry about it. The most common thing at the moment is for the biometrics to be reused but if it's not on your account you just have to wait until they send you something.

Very odd that she already had an interview and this is the answer. Something is amiss. After the interview she should have had an answer - approved or not, lack of documents, anything. I'd try to contact USCIS but that's not a guarantee of anything, the first contact will be with a tier 1 person that usually is not much more than someone reading ready answers. Maybe try for a Tier 2, but at the same time contact the local representative via any means to get this process going. You/she will need to be on this constantly until is solved, did she get an EAD? Is she working at all?

I don't think this will be scheduled in the first semester, which then puts me in recovery between July-October. It is not inconceivable that by September I'll have an interview date. Just trying to plan ahead when you have no idea when things will happen...

I might have to schedule a surgery with a long recovery process in the coming months. Since I already filed for citizenship, now comes the puzzle part: Do I schedule the surgery and risk the interview being scheduled around the same time? If yes, I could try to reschedule the surgery but that could mean waiting many months for another spot. But I know rescheduling an interview is difficult and I would also like to not have an issue with the last step of the process. I would be housebound for at least a month, probably close to two so going to an interview while in active recovery is really not an option. None of this is urgent, both interview and surgery have not been scheduled but of course I am trying to think of possible scenarios and how to make life work when USCIS is the one with actual control over my schedule. I should note my FO is St Louis and the processing time is 11 months, so I might not even get an interview for while.

If applying for citizenship is something you want you can do it the moment you're eligible, no need to wait until the I-751 is done

Thanks for the 7 warnings! 😂

No way, and I know this because they said next time - if you had actually violated any federal law you would be talking to the cpb/actually police now. Don't do it again, that works for any country, first port of entry you need to re check your bags. It's fine.

Do tax transcripts instead

Please just gather what you have and send it on Monday. You've been overworking this rfe for some time in the forums. Having it delivered even if not perfect is miles better than risking missing the deadline, making your process face issues in the future. Just. Send. It. Over. Stop overthinking. They are trying to give you a chance in having no interview. Take it.
