  1. Yes it's normal. All sorts of funky business happens to evidence when filing N-400 electronically. Not an issue.
  2. I has Global Entry on work visa. Once I became an LPR I updated docs with their enrollment center, didn't need to re-enroll or pay new fee. Since TSA PreCheck is not about border control, I wouldn't think you need to do anything.
  3. You're right, no questions about parents in N-400. I guess it's related to how I moved to the US. Both I-485 and application for marriage license asked about my parents.
  4. What did you put in all your applications with USCIS? You must have answered the question multiple times by now.
  5. A lot of factors here, including whether you were in status prior to marriage or out of status. Average processing times are posted here: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
  6. Here's one report from 2023 I found: I think there were few other people including @Olga&Jared who didn't have same day ceremony. I wonder if it's due to I-751.
  7. I haven't experienced it, but officer will let you know if you will be naturalizing on the same day. It depends on location and whether they have any additional "seats" for people of they already reached the limit. I think I might have read San Francisco doesn't do same day oath ceremonies lately, but I may be wrong. My understanding is, USCIS will do the best effort to naturalize you on the day of interview if N-400 is approved.
  8. You can apply for citizenship under 4 years and 1 day rule. You can start counting from 09/09/2020. I'd say you should apply in late September - early October this year (2024)
  9. Upload to Civil Documents it won't hurt
  10. No problem. Did she save / print confirmation that browser shows after submitting request? Did you also file I-865 by mail within 30 days of moving, being her sponsor?
  11. Compared to Manila, Islamabad or Montreal, London should be better
  12. https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/10/us/us-border-patrol-agent-bribery-sentencing/index.html Hmmmm
  13. Great to know he was allowed in the building!
  14. There's no requirement to apply for N-400 ever. But if eligible and desired, you can apply for it. If you were LPR for over 5 years, you can apply under 5 year rule. It's easier and doesn't require as much evidence or proving marriage. If you're between 3 and 5 years of being LPR, you can, either wait for eligibility under 5 year rule or apply under 3 year rule. In each case you can apply 90 days before anniversary. All other requirements (physical presence, continuous residence, good moral character) apply any time you apply for citizenship.
  15. US set all of these vaccination requirements to ensure the general public is safe, e.g. to reduce number of endemics started by unimmunnized people immigrating. Generally, with US immigration you have to to everything humanely possible to satisfy various requirements during the proccess. Waivers are available for very exceptional cases. This is because burden of proof is on you and not USCIS / DOS. Good luck and let us know how it goes!
  16. I get the pain, but in the US, a simple XRay scan can cost $2000-5000. Luckily, almost entire amount is covered by medical insurance if you have one. My point is, you'll be paying similar amounts for medical visits here easily.
  17. Congrats! Did you file with divorce waiver from the start or converted petition later in the process?
  18. This question emerges from time to time. It's likely you're going to receive GC in mail in 2-6 weeks from now, probably before the trip. No need for stamp. Expired GC and extension letter are probably still OK to reenter the US.
  19. 1) Proof of validity of relationship. E.g. the fiancé is not being sponsored for fraudulent reasons. This is probably majority of pages in OP's evidence. 2) Proof of identities of petitioner and beneficiary 3) Supporting documentation for any convictions in the past 4) Proof both parties are free to marry 5) Proof of the plans to marry 6) Proof of meeting face to face in the last 2 years
  20. This is not surprising at all. When I had I-751 pending, my case and roughly 100 cases around mine were processed 4-5 months slower than filers who filed before and after us. No rational explanation other than some funky business to help processing times on paper.
  21. It is somewhat subjective. The burden of proof is always on the petitioner. If it's all relevant proof and not local train schedule, it's all a fair game.
