    Cost of living increased significantly over the last few years. USCIS held the fees unchanged for some time. All of the slowness is a result of underfunding for the last few years. Maybe if USCIS doubled the fees they'd have money to invest and speed up processes.... Hang in there, July to November is only 4 months. Many petitions take year and over.

    USCIS is funded by filing fees, not taxes

    If hiring lawyer, why not hire for entire process? From filing to oath. I'm not sure how many lawyers would go just to your interview. They need to know your case, circumstances etc.

    What do you mean by not cheap? FOIA is free.

    It is considered name change. Good luck and keep us updated!

    Few days and even a week or two won't make much difference. My friend filed I-751 3 weeks after me and got approved 4 months earlier. Everybody who filed on my week were delayed. You never know whether filing today or tomorrow will give you faster adjudication, it's unpredictable. Risking the whole petition by filing on first day isn't worth it.

    Yes, as long as you're still married to US citizen, you live together etc. And you meet other requirements.

    They're highly recommended. The point of including tax return transcripts is to show that you pay taxes as required by lawful permanent resident. If you have a valid reason to file MFS it's OK.

    Why not enter Japan on EU passport? Then you don't have issue exiting Japan on EU passport travelling to EU.

    I'd go with option 1 why wait?

    Put today's date

    If you have valid GC, the chances of you getting in without issues are high. The biggest hurdle tends to be the airline. If you have valid documentation, you should be OK. You likely going to get a warning from CBP and maybe would have to visit the secondary. But most likely they'll let you in. Make sure to limit the international travel after entry to the US and naturalize to get full freedom of movement.

    Who told you this? Immigration officer at the interview? Lawyer?

    Attach the copy of I-751 notice with N-400 too.
  15. OldUser
    Yes, you can file online or paper. For online filing, you can upload letter typed in Word and saved as PDF for example.

    He can apply for reentry permit which h will allow him to stay outside the US for 2 years without losing LPR status. How long is he going to continue studies overseas? If more than 2 years this may be challenging.
  17. OldUser
    Even with conditional GC. Since only immigration judge can take LPR status away. Agreed
  18. OldUser
    How so? In the event USCIS only conducts I-751 interview on the day, your N-400 will remain pending and they'll call you for N-400 interview later. No issue there. You won't lose money. Are you sure your lawyer is a real immigration lawyer?

    I thought you provided update in 2010? Did you undergo another medical exam?

    I don't know where you get this info from. "U.S. law does not require a U.S. citizen to choose between U.S. citizenship and another (foreign) nationality (or nationalities). A U.S. citizen may naturalize in a foreign state without any risk to their U.S. citizenship. " Source: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/Relinquishing-US-Nationality/Dual-Nationality.html

    This is a relatively new thing
  22. OldUser
    Yes, you'll get extension for your GC when applying for N-400. No worries, just apply
  23. OldUser
    It does. Upon filing N-400, an extension letter for GC is issued.
  24. OldUser
    Many were interviewed and denied because they filed early. This is not uncommon.

    It depends on your risk tolerance. If you want to have the strongest case - send everything. Technically, USCIS can issue RFE if not happy with evidence submitted initially. If you're filing electronically, what's even a problem uploading everything, since you're not even printing stuff? I do not think N-400 is "easy". It's the most important step of immigration journey, when entire history is reviewed and the greatest immigration benefit is given. I wouldn't take it lightly. As one lawyer says, it's the final chance of USCIS to deport somebody. It becomes almost impossible after naturalization.
