Is there a 0 after the A? My Alien number starts with a 0. But to be honest, I only wrote down the certificate number. Not the A number.

They are different numbers. I have a certificate of naturalization and so I have both an A# and a certificate number listed on it...they are different. Here is a sample I found online. The red is the certificate number. The yellow is the A#

Do you have the extension letter/receipt of your pending I-90? My father traveled to Mexico recently on an expired green card. Upon returning to the US, he was asked for both expired green card and the copy of receipt/extension letter.

If you were approved for citizenship and denounced your former citizenship then, maybe they took it to destroy it? When I took my naturalization test, I had to denounce my former citizenship, therefore, I could no longer hold a passport in my native country.

I also submitted G-1145 and did not receive any email notification of package being received. The only reason I found out my package was received was because it had tracking through USPS and then the receipt came through the mail. I checked my email (both inbox and spam folders) constantly before and after the letter came waiting for the email notification but NOTHING. It happens to a lot of people...but other people DO get a text/email from USCIS with their receipt number.

I applied for an expedite based on those factors. As well as an expiring visa for us spouse to be with foreign husband and the fact that the US citizen spouse is living there with their shared young child....and was denied. MAYBE you might have better luck than I did.

As far as I understood it, what you are applying for is an affidavit of marriageability and it shouldn't be hard to obtain. My situation was different from yours because I had never been married when I obtained my affidavit of marriageability. All I did was swear that I was single and free to marry and the name of my fiancé. It was date and signed. Since you are divorced, they will write down in the affidavit that you were previously married but are now free to remarry. It should be straightforward and I wish you the best of luck.

There is nothing you can do. You already emailed the embassy for a status update. When I applied for my daughter's CRBA (consular report for birth abroad) they emailed me when to pick it up. I am sorry it is taking so long. Your child's CRBA and us passport IS taking too long. It should take about 4 weeks.

No. Don't sign the actual applications for crba or passport. That is what the statement of consent is for and why they need to be notarized. If you have any doubts, just print out two applications, one with your signature and one without.... You can also email the consulate or embassy and ask them about the signatures. The American citizen services section of the consulate/embassy is meant to help Americans and registering the birth abroad of your children.

Do you have firsthand knowledge of this? If so maybe this was just in your experience. In my experience, I used only my naturalization certificate. Never used my California ID. That was almost 10 years ago, so things might have changed. My mother changed her name...drastically, like different name completely and she was not required to show her California ID. Just her naturalization certificate. Her naturalization certificate also included the court order for her name change...she had that with her in case they asked...but they only used her naturalization certificate. OP you might just be out of luck in applying with the passport people who require 2 different types of IDs. Sorry and I hope your situation works out because in my case I only provided one source of ID.

Show them this part of the application. It states you can use your certificate of naturalization as BOTH proof of ID and citizenship.

If you want to transmit your US citizenship to your baby, check to see if you qualify for a CRBA (consular report of birth abroad). You need to have 5 year physical presence in the US....2 of which after you turned 14. When I applied for my child's CRBA I used my high school and college official transcripts. You should email the US consulate in colombia...specifically the American Citizen Services to get more info on applying for the CRBA. You can technically wait for some time, I applied 5 months after my child was born.

Email your consulate and ask. When I applied for my child, I asked and also got an email with a checklist of documents to bring. Also look at the embassy page on CRBA they usually offer more specific information on what you should bring. I provided my prenatal records of that included my weight/blood pressure/ fetal heart rate as well as ultrasounds and the medical papers for my labor and discharge.

Their home is under their name, they are comfortable financially. Own multiple properties. Have a healthy bank account. As for their parents' care, they live with them and care for them. The elderly parents are bedridden. Aside from hospital bills there is no other medical bills to show they care for them. They have credit cards that have visa/Mastercard so if they travel to the U.S. they don't have to take any cash with them. They will never really want to move to the states, so we can't apply for an immigrant visa when my husband naturalized in a few years...but how to show that to the visa officer?

How difficult would it be for parents of a green card holder to get a tourist visa to visit him and their US citizen granddaughter in the U.S.? I am worried my in-laws don't have strong ties to their home country. They are NOT interested in immigrating. They are in their late 50s early 60s, semi-retired living in a country where you need a tourist visa to enter US. They own their own home and care for their elderly parents. Those are their strong ties. They have also never traveled outside their home country. Their only son is the green card holder. So, what are their chances and what to do to better the odds?

Filed online April 9th Actively Reviewed June 28th (have been told this doesn't really matter) Filed K3 July 13th (have been told this is a waste of postage) My I-130 receipt said Texas Service Center but after I tried and failed to request expedite I found out that I-130 was transferred on the same day I filed to Potomac. I emailed the K3 application to my family to mail it for me because I am living abroad with spouse.

Los dos procesos ahorita están tomando mucho tiempo. Pero si aplican dentro de los estados unidos, la pareja puede seguir junta. Si lo hace fuera de los estados unidos ella tal vez no va poder viajar de país a país. El proceso fuera de los Estados Unidos es por el consulado o embajada que le va dar una visa de inmigrante.

What about México? Sandwiched between US and Guatemala.

I don't think I will be much help. They denied my request. I am living in a foreign country with my spouse and tensions between our two countries are not that great. There was some international attention because of its policies. I asked for humanitarian reasons but it was denied. But it all worked out in the end. My visa in his foreign country got renewed and they actually offered me the option of a green card since I meet the requirements but we declined. Who knew other countries were more efficient and accommodating than the US. I am so sorry. I haven't heard of anyone getting an expedite approved except in financial situations like a job offer for the US citizen. Sorry.

Yes. I left it blank. Thank you for your response.

So if I wrote the embassy of Beijing instead of the consulate of Guangzhou, they would route it to Guangzhou and dismiss the Beijing option?

Okay, so when I applied for my spouse's I-130 petition as a US citizen, I wrote down the embassy that is in the same city where he resides. The thing is, that embassy does not do immigrant visas. Do I have to revise it at the USCIS level, or do I wait until it goes to the NVC stage? I am afraid that they will "retain" the application until I change it to the right embassy/consulate that does immigrants visa. I have heard from a lot of people on the Facebook groups who accidentally choose both adjustment of status and consular processing that ended up having their approved I-130 retained until they clarify which they want. In the meantime they have to file a form called I-824 with their choice of adjustment or consular processing. That form is $456!!! I don't want to have to spend more money and time. So has anyone been able to change embassies at the USCIS stage? Or should I risk it possibly be retained because the chosen embassy does not handle immigrant visas? Thanks in advance.

Get married in the U.S. To get married in China, you have to go to the embassy or consulate to obtain an affidavit of marriageability and then get that translated....and then you can apply to get married. And when you finally decide to move back to the states, you are going to have to get that translated again and get a gong cheng chu for the immigrant visa. It creates a lot of hassle. If you are going to be in her native country you will have a work visa? Or will you be applying for a family reunion visa? Either way, I think you can use your american marriage certificate.

Okay. I get what you are saying. So this is what I found if you have the time to get it done, if not I hope that they allow you to do both together with one certificate. Here is the website to the uscis about getting a certified copy of your Naturalization certificate to send with the other application so you can do both at the same time. https://www.uscis.gov/tools/how-do-i-guides/us-citizens/how-do-i-obtain-an-authenticated-copy-of-a-certificate-of-naturalization

SORRY just read the application for passport through Naturalization. Yeah you do need the certificate. Our situation is different.
