  1. Give a day or two for notice to show online. Give 1-4 weeks for physical letter to arrive.
  2. I didn't update expiration date on GE portal because I wasn't sure I was allowed to do it without new GC. But people on VJ did it just fine. I tried enrollment center twice on different days at the airport, and they were denying updating their system with extension letter (laziness or lack of knowlwdge).
  3. Sure. I flew a lot with GE while I-751 was pending
  4. Organize the documents to improve search.
  5. Yes, they were LPRs. I-551 stamp is the same as green card, which is formally known as form I-551.
  6. There have to be separate N-400 for each person. They can be filed at the same time, but not together. And they will be adjudicated independently from each other. E.g. some can be faster or slower than the other.
  7. She can dream... no court I know of can order somebody to sponsor somebody for immigration benefit...
  8. Oh man, good point about marital status. Somehow I assumed they were married...
  9. Irrelevant detail. Good luck, nobody can prevent her from dreaming. Yes, more than just bio page is needed for CRBA. What does father of the child want? Does he want the child to be registered as US citizen? Even if he does all this and registers the child as US citizen, child's mother can pound sand. She cannot come to the US just because her child is a US citizen. Either husband will have to file I-130 for her or the US citizen child can sponsor her after reaching 21 years. Nothing happens without husband or adult child sponsoring her. It may take many years until her dream of coming to the states to collect $5000 (how, I want to know too?) materializes
  10. Verbal promises mean nothing, sadly... Hope you hear the news soon!
  11. Are you applying under 3 year rule? If yes, the spouse should accompany you. If not, spouse may not be allowed in the building.
  12. Yes, there is wording saying you should not travel. There are examples on VJ of people successfully travelling in the past. But you never know...
  13. She'll also have to list all international trips she took between interview an oath ceremony
  14. If you amend, you'll get a larger tax break.
  15. To adjust status and become a permanent resident, you need a number of forms as mentioned in guide shared by @Crazy Cat. Only adjust status if you're going to settle and live permanently in the US. You need to file at minimum I-130, I-130A, I-485, I-864 and I-693. Considering you want to travel while adjustment is pending, you need to also file I-131. Considering you want to have employment in the US while waiting for GC, you need to file I-765. All of this is DIY. However, if you get overwhelmed, feel free to ask more questions here on VJ. And if after that you're struggling, you may hire a lawyer (member of AILA)
  16. You can always apply, nobody can prevent you from doing it. You can use the argument it was a temporary trip. It's hard to tell how IO will rule it out.
  17. Yes it was blank even though I filled it out. I mean, I didn't fill it out, lawyer did. But I had to review all information before submitting. It was there during me reviewing it, but once I clicked submit, it was gone from copy of the doc I had. You really shouldn't worry, it's going to be OK. USCIS has your info
  18. Many Americans never had a passport. It's perfectly normal.
  19. I am a citizen of multiple countries and had other names. Not all of this information was on my printout of completed form. But somehow lawyer's copy and USCIS copy had all of this missing information. It's just terrible buggy USCIS IT systems. You'll be fine! Good luck at the interview!
  20. This is perfectly normal. Don't worry about it. I also filed under general provision and had the same. Not all info about spouse is relevant for N-400 under 5 year rule. I naturalized just fine.
  21. Are you trying to move case from consular processing to the US?
  22. It should be covered, as long ad can be proved by joined lease, affidavits etc if needed
