  1. Why add to USCIS's backlog? They're swamped with cases, that's why I-130 takes over a year and not few weeks.
  2. It usually takes few weeks, maybe a month for most applicants.
  3. Everybody seeking fee waiver / reduced fee files on paper as of today, as far as I know.
  4. It took about a week for me. Up to 2 weeks is reasonable time IMO
  5. Never. There is no such document called Naturalization Card. You probably mean green card? Could be few weeks, could be few months. There's no set timeline. Is the case status showing approved? Did you receive I-797 approval letter?
  6. It's OK, mistakes happen. I'd imagine employment dates were never discussed with officer at all? It's not like you'd gain anything by falsifying start date of employment in England.
  7. Ideally you should have checked it before submitting N-400. Or mention it during interview if you discovered it after submitting. Having said that, I don't believe this is a material issue. I'm not 100% sure this needs to be addressed unless you get an RFE.
  8. You need to look at limit for F1 category, it's set to 23400 plus any not required by F4, but I can't imagine there are some not required by F4. How old are the children? Technically, wife isn't capped, she should be able to come as immediate relative with unlimited number of visas.
  9. I'd think most won't. And few weirdos that would get mad - it's their problem. All you are trying to do is make sure you are recorded correctly so you get correct GC.
  10. This is wild processing time, I had to check on their website to make sure you're not joking
  11. Sometimes they even send 10 year GC after naturalization 😃
  12. Hello @Scottish Mernymph You can apply for US citizenship under General Provision. If: - You had green card for 5 years or more (Resident since date) - You had to trips outside of the US for over 180 days at a time in the last 5 years - You filed your taxes all these years as a resident - Didn't have issues with law - Spent at least 18 months in the US in the last 5 years Then you can apply and become a US citizen. You can apply on paper or online without leaving the house. After you become a citizen you can sponsor your someone for spousal visa or fiance visa.
  13. My understanding is (don't quote me on this), when filing by paper, you'll receive letter with code, which you can use along with case number to add case to online account and receive PDF copies there too.
  14. It's not an easy decision to make. Keep us posted!
  15. To add on that: lawyer isn't typically needed for easy case, but if you do end up hiring one, make sure name shows on AILA Lawyer search. Don't work with notarios / paralegals / lawyers specializing in more things than just immigration. Those ones typically cause more harm than good.
  16. You'll get separate mail with code to add your case online, because I-751 is a form filed on paper
  17. "Print in black ink" typically means writing by hand using capital letters using a pen. I'd use normal date format for the US: mm/dd/yyyy, e.g. 01/23/2025 As to signing, not sure, but you could always complete everything but signature and do it on the day. My impression is, you can sign and date beforehand, but I don't have direct experience
  18. There's laws around residency that are being enforced. Free doesn't mean free to not follow rules. I guess LPRs are incentivized to become citizens now
  19. Looks like a crackdown on people using green cards as visitors visas and not residing in the US.
  20. People get sent to secondary all the time, even when answering all questions. I may be wrong though.
