  1. Fast approvals were a minority and for spouses of US citizens. Expect things to slow down, including N-400, as elections are over. Realistically, not much will probably happen until second half of 2025.
  2. For Advance Parole even writing "To be determined" was OK. For re-entry permit either write the same or something like "professional trip"
  3. Technically, yes if you have ESTA or visa. CBP has always authority to deny entry for any non-immigrant.
  4. I-94 is irrelevant for green card holders. LPRs don't get I-94, it's only for non-immigrants. Old I-94 may only be needed to ensure you were inspected when entering the US on non-immigrant visa before adjusting. That would have been covered during AOS process (I-485 form).
  5. *sigh* What really matters is what checkbox is checked on DS-3025. Just double check the copy she should have received when she completed medicals overseas. This is the main thing that determines whether she needs I-693 in the US or not.
  6. USCIS will gladly cash checks even if there are issues with the case. RFE for I-864 is very early stage of processing. Just because DOB issue hasn't resurfaced yrt, doesn't mean it won't be flagged and become an issue later in the process.
  7. Is there a visa available (based on priority) for your spouse, as you're not a US citizen? Is your spouse in legal status in the US?
  8. I'd put ref on both, it doesn't hurt. Definitely in the letter body. Yes you can send with USPS to whatever is thr right address. I'd do certified mail. And upload digitally
  9. Ok, that's a different story. So was he 25 or younger when he got GC? Then he should have registered for Selective Service. I-485 doesn't always make this registration automatic. It depends what edition of form was filed, and what info was put into form. Lawyers typically help crafting a letter explaining all circumstances for failing to register for selective service and explain immigrant wasn't aware of requirement / believed they're registered and ready to protect the US if ever needed. Often immigration officer acknowledges this and lets the person to naturalize. I'd do this case with a lawyer if you can afford. Not to say it's impossible to do DIY, but here you already have one wrinkle in the case. Are there any more issues for naturalization that you or your spouse are not aware of?
  10. Is this box checked on DS-3025? "K Visa applicant voluntarily completed vaccination requirements"
  11. - She could spend any amount outside of the US without worrying about losing GC. - Sometimes people get into legal trouble for no good reason and that affects their ability to stay in the US. Citizens would not be deported, but LPRs can depending whether crime is a deportable offence under state laws - She can pass citizenship to any future kids - She can sponsor her parents or adult kids to come to the US as a citizen - She may get additional benefits as a citizen when it comes to SSA, medical help - She may get certain jobs that require US citizenship
  12. If vaccinations were all completed on DS-3025, no need to do another medical exam. If not all vaccinations were taken, then I-693 is required.
  13. Very good point. Without it, AOS packet will be rejected.
  14. Crimes, not filing taxes, spending too much time outside the US, false claim to citizenship, voting, drugs use, immigration fraud.
  15. Whoever is the immigrant should keep their immigration documents including USCIS letters. I-129F NOAs are some of them. The only disadvantage of keeping records is space. But I'd gladly toss some other stuff like excess clothes or other clutter to make space for docs that literally proof right to remain in the US.
  16. Yes, as long as you already have the date for appointment, you have two options: 1) Try to walk in early (with letter) OR 2) Reschedule appointment for earlier date (kudos to @Edward and Jaycel:
  17. Yes, make a digital copy of NOA2 and keep it. I'd say keep all original I-797 letters for all cases including future cases (I-129F, I-485, I-751, N-400). Make digital copies of them too and store in the cloud. In the end, your fiance will have about 20-40 pages of important papers from USCIS documenting their immigration journey. Government may always ask to re-prove / re-verify how they became a citizen, even many years later. Either for them or descendants. Along with house deed and their birth certificate, these are super valuable docs.
  18. Yes, AOS requires submitting proof of entry with inspection. That would be I-94 issued at last entry.
  19. I'd send a letter to same address you sent the case to. Put REF: and case number, then explanation of what page and what question # you need to correct. Send a copy of passport / ID showing correcr DOB. Do the same electronically if you can add unsolicited evidence. Point this out during biometrics appointnent.
  20. You mean now you're able to see it? I'd try correcting it... May need to speak to Emma... Is DOB also wrong on I-751 form or just in account?
  21. Can you not enter wrong DOB again to access it?
  22. Don't forget I-130A. Yes, both I-765 and I-131 now require fees even if filed together with I-485. Both are optional, but you know better whether there are old parents etc back in immigrant's country of origin. In those cases, I-131 isn't a bad idea.
  23. If your lawyer is a real lawyer (as found on https://www.ailalawyer.com/), and you're paying them money to manage your case - you should follow their advice. Did you have lawyer when you filed forms? RFE when filing with a lawyer may indicate their level or competence...
  24. Employment / unemployment is not an issue for naturalizing. K-3 is dead.
