When you originally enter the U.S. was it with inspection or without? My husband came when he was 8 years old and was NOT inspected. We are about to start his journey to citizenship and worried about his part of entering without inspection.
Hello AnnaMarrie, I did enter with inspection and had my visa valid for 10 years, I hope this helps. I don’t think he should worry about anything since he already had his green card. Good Luck!

Hello All,
I would like to share with you my experience with the USCIS and how I became a US Citizen yesterday 03/10/202. One thing that everyone needs to keep in mind is to BE PATIENT!!!!! and have as many documents as possible for your case, this process takes a long time and requires many documents.
- First, I was a DACA recipient since it was initiated by the Obama Administration in 2012, I was grateful for this program as it allowed me to drive, attend college, get a job, and live a piece of my American Dream.
- After renewing my DACA up to 2018, my long term love and I got married in 2018 after six years of dating. While dating, we both attended college and graduated with Bachelor Degrees, and after I graduated with my engineering degree in 2018, we decided to get married and start our life journey
Now my USCIS journey starts:
Two-Years Green Card:
- 10/04/2018, we received your Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, Receipt Number MSCxxxxxxxxxx, and sent you the receipt notice that describes how we will process your case.
- 11/07/2018: We are ready to schedule your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, for an interview.
- 01/03/2019: We scheduled an interview for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status.
- 03/08/2019: We ordered your new card.
- 03/15/2019: The Post Office delivered your new card for Receipt Number MSCxxxxxxxxxx, to the address that you gave us. ---------------------------- -Green Card delivered with the wrong expiration date on it!!! SMH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -------------------------------------------------------
- 03/20/2019: We received your Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card, and mailed you a receipt notice. It is being processed at our E-Filed Case Processing Section location.
- 01/13/2020: We produced your new card for your Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card.
While, the application to replace my Green Card was still pending, I was able to travel overseas with the "Green Card Stamp" also called "I-551 Stamp"
Removal of Conditions (Potomac Service Center) & N-400 Naturalization (Dallas Service Center), Both Moved to Local Office in Louisville, KY:
- 12/31/2020: We received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence.
- 04/02/2021: The fingerprints relating to your Form I-751 Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, were taken. [Fingerprints applied automatically]. --------------------------------- I didn't hear anything since fingerprints were automatically applied until I filed for N-400 -------------------------------------------
- 11/24/2021: We received your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, and sent you a receipt notice.
- 11/30/2021: We are actively reviewing your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization. Our records showed nothing is outstanding at this time.
- 01/05/2022: Your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, was transferred to another office for processing.
- 01/06/2022: We transferred your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, to another USCIS office that now has jurisdiction over your case.
- 01/10/2022: We scheduled an interview for your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization.
- 02/14/2022: We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, be approved. Your case was submitted for quality review.
- 02/14/2022: We ordered your new card.
- 02/14/2022: We placed you in line for your oath ceremony and will send you a notice for Receipt Number IOExxxxxxxxxxx, with the date, time, and location of your oath ceremony. You should receive your notice within 30 days of its mailing date.
- 03/10/2022: Certificate of Naturalization Was Issued.
While the application to Remove Conditions was still pending, my Green Card expired, and I have received a 18-months extension, then a 24-months extension which I have used with the expired Green Card to travel overseas and keep my job.
This was it guys, I was grateful that my Naturalization process went much faster than my Green Card process. The interview for the naturalization went smoothly. After going over the application for removal of conditions with the Immigration Officer, I was surprised the Immigration officer didn't tell my wife to wait outside while I took the N-400 tests (Civics, Writing, & Reading).
Be Patient! and Good Luck to all of you!!!

Hello radrac,
the supporting documents required for the N-400 are slightly different than those of the I-751 Removal of Conditions. 2-1/2 yes seems a lot to me, there has to be something off about this situation, I recommend contacting USCIS about your I-751 case, do you know what's the current status of it as of now? And what is your filing office where you sent your forms and documents?
the document checklist for the N-400 Naturalization is below, please review it and send the required copies not the original.

Hello Eveyone,
I am actually still waiting on my I-751 to be approved, it has been a year and a week now, and I haven't heard back from USCIS until today, I have received an email that my I-751 has been transferred to another office for processing, I do have a N-400 that I applied for and was acknowledged by USCIS on 11/30/2021. I am hoping this all good news for us who have been waiting for their citizenship process to be complete. Good Luck everyone.

Hello Everyone,
my sister will be moving to USA through the F4 immigration. I would like to know couple things.
1. Does it matter what airport she travels through for the first time? Does it have to be JFK? If not, Are immigration officers available at all airports for clearance?
2. Does she have to fly non-stop from her original country of Morocco? Or can she have layovers in Europe for example?
Thanks in advance!
