  1. This is a valid concern. If she wants to naturalize, she has to stay put in the US. 5 months trip is OK, but it it's followed by other trips shortly after, this can affect things negatively.
  2. Don't forget, LPR cannot spend unlimited time overseas. They cannot be out for 6+ months without breaking continuous residence for the purposes of naturalization. They cannot be out for 1+ years for purposes of keeping green card. They can lose the status and would have to start immigration from scratch.
  3. 1. Yes, you don't get to select office. It gets picked based on your residency address. https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-a-uscis-office/field-offices Put a ZIP code and it will tell you where your LFO is located.
  4. Yes, typically they don't need you. I noticed the following patterns though : - You bring spouse => they're not needed - You don't bring spouse => some officers get worked up and ask where the spouse is - You bring extra evidence => nobody cares - You don't bring extra evidence => officer asks for it
  5. Looks like delay is on your end? Your case would have been decided, but USCIS lacked information and had to issue RFE? I would give them few more months. What was the basis for expediting the case?
  6. This is a blazing fast approval, considering majority spends 2-3 years waiting for decision. Nice!
  7. Should disclose but no certificates are needed AFAIK.
  8. I hope they're tax return transcripts? Should not need to
  9. It's mostly an urban myth debunked with many examples and by lawyers.
  10. OP's future interviewer may be different to your interviewer. There's been definitely cases when USCIS needed to see US citizen spouse. I wouldn't risk entire immigration and bring the spouse
  11. Interviews are pretty normal. Prior to COVID everybody got interviews. Nowadays less, but it looks like it's changing again.
  12. No this is normal. Any verbal approvals and promises by CO are worthless. You just have to wait.
  13. Yes, it's highly recommended your US citizen spouse comes with you. Most likely they won't get interviewed. But it would look very bad if officer asked where your spouse is and your spouse was in Mexico at time of your interview.
  14. Welcome to the club! How long have you been a LPR?
  15. I wonder if this is new, e.g. verification. I never dared updating expiration date on TTP while on extension letter. It was never an issue for me. Just had to see officer when using GE lane.
  16. Couldn't agree more. I've seen somebody reporting "MyProgress" estimating 7 months to decision on day of oath! And somebody else getting worrying about "Your case is taking longer than expected" 9 days after filing N-400. This is what I think happens behind the scenes of estimates algorithm:
  17. Got physical receipt notice in the mail. This was super fast compared to AOS / ROC forms filed on paper.
  18. Yes, as there are two I-130 petitions
  19. Depends on how busy the office is.
  20. The reason why this exception exists is because other nations claim Jerusalem as their capital too.
  21. So you're marrying December 20, 2024? When did you enter on K-1?
  22. Tomorrow it can show 2 days and day after tomorrow - 10 months. It's really inaccurate meaningless estimate.
  23. Are you sure you didn't make mistake on N-400 forms when filling? Yes, when interviewer starts interview, mention the mistake. You will be asked what your name is and you will be asked to show ID. Same day oath is not something you can control. Even without mistake, it's not guaranteed.
  24. This will be a difficult one for anyone to predict.
