    Some states don't even have fault divorce. For example, California. @rocanrol which state are you filing divorce in?

    To be more specific, you can apply for citizenship after 5 years of being lawful permanent resident like everybody. If you have conditional GC, you have to file I-751 like everybody else to get conditions removed. Sorry about your marriage.

    No, adultery is not rewarded in any way.

    There is no ban or restriction from US government to having dual citizenship. They just consider you only a US citizen no matter how many other citizenships you hold.

    Do you have proof of delivery?

    Don't believe anything agent says

    Theoretically you can ask to amend your N-400 to use General Provision. There's also a chance you may never be asked for her birth certificate so you can try your luck. Bring everything you have. Also, her mother doesn't own your spouse's birth certificate. Realistically your wife can also go as far as filing a police report to get her vital document back.

    You're still LPR. If you met residency requirements (physical presence, continuous residence, good moral character) in the last 5 years, you're going to be OK naturalizing. You can consult a lawyer if you're worried, but I don't see an issue. You also had reentry permit. All of this fear was instigated by a CBP who had a bad day, doesn't know immigration law well and doesn't get to decide whether you'll naturalize.

    Yes sorry for a typo. I'd say first week of Jan is safe. Mail is slower during holiday week plus nobody's gonna work on it during Xmas / NY

    Why is this a worry? You may end up having I-751 decided without interview, in separate or combo interview. This is true for every US state and territory. You cannot predict how it will go.

    If you're moving to the US permanently it makes sense taking originals of important documents such as birth certificate with you. Obviously, carry those with you and don't leave in checked bags. Good luck!

    Estimated times is a joke. People with only 9 days in a process getting message "Your case is taking longer than expected". Meanwhile others who went through interview have months until decision according to status, but not in reality. This is all based on my observations on VJ. Yes, I-751 adds time. N-400 cannot be decided without it. It takes time for local field office to get files from service center to perform combo interview or decide on I-751 before N-400.

    Congratulations! I hope you get a positive decision soon. Keep us updated.

    Many of these jumps are faster and cheaper overseas compared to the hoops to jump in the US. Inability to work after entering on K-1 for 6-12 months can be considered oportunity loss. We can be talking tens of thousands of dollars that could have been earned would a person enter on CR-1. If it means spensing few days / weeks to get paperwork sorted, I'd jump through those hoops. But it's me.

    January is still to come. Hopefully there won't be any large events in big cities then.

    If you were flexible with travel plans, I'd say apply today. You can still apply today, if you're ok with potentially getting denied and losing filing fee if you miss appointments or interview.

    Received date makes sense

    I understand why you want to have only one trip and merge two cases into one. I don't believe this is something USCIS would do.
  19. OldUser
    What do you mean when talking about consolidating two cases into one? They're separate cases and will be decided separately in their own time. You cannot rely on estimated times, each case is unique. Not sure how you have a choice deciding where to file, can you please elaborate?
  20. OldUser
    SSN is only given once for life.
  21. OldUser
    How important are those trips? If you were to learn ahead about biometrics appointment, interview or oath interfering with the trip plans, would you consider moving the travel plans?
  22. OldUser
    Not much you can do. 4 months is very normal wait time, in many places even a year is normal.

    You have to file affidavit of support and find a joint sponsor who is a US citizen or LPR with qualifying income. They'll be also filing affidavit of support.

    I'd say yes. It's unlikely you're going to get conditional GC issued. Unless you need a I-551 stamp in passport for international travel, you don't need I-90. Just be prepared to wait for N-400 decision for longer with new administration and elections behind. If you can live without GC for a year, no need to file I-90. If you need more freedom in movement, I'd file I-90. You don't know when exactly I-751 will be approved or you naturalize.

    Typo here, I was meant to say "N-400". Not sure where "I" came from.
