  1. I guess USCIS wanted to ensure ROC wasn't issued in error. As we know past approvals don't guarantee approval for subsequent petitions. Everything can be rechecked at any point in immigration.
  2. I heard of this happening before. I'm sure if a lawyer was present, IO wouldn't dare asking irrelevant stuff...
  3. Yes, questions about marriage can pop up during N-400 under 5 year rule too. It's just the depth of questions might be less compared to 3 year rule case. Naturalization is the last chance for USCIS to deport somebody. They can ask anything, even pertaining tourist visa visits from 10 years ago. Even if statutory period is only 5 years.
  4. Or maybe worth trying requesting 48 months extension which would be valid for another 2 years VS stamp for 1 year?
  5. What's more concerning is the fact she did not receive 48 months extension letter. In 2023 USCIS sent out 48 months extensions to everybody who had pending I-751. This would have extended her GC for another 2 years. The reasons why it's concerning is if you never received new extension letter, you might as well missed interview appointment letter, RFE, NOID or denial. Did you move since filing I-751? If moved, did your wife file AR-11? Did you file I-865 if you moved? You can request missing notice (48 months extension) here https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDNForm.do?sroPageType=ndn&entryPoint=init
  6. Your wife's residence doesn't expire. She remains a permanent residence unless she signs I-407 or immigration judge takes it away. The only thing expiring is her proof of status.
  7. Depends on which rule she applies. If under marriage, she'd have to submit pretty much similar stuff as for I-751. If under general, she doesn't need to provide proof of bonafide marriage. In both cases it's advisable to submit copies of tax return transcripts (3 or 5 years based on what rule she's applying)
  8. If she's been an LPR for 5 years (minus 90 days for early filing) she can select general. Otherwise either wait for general or file based on marriage
  9. It looks like OP already got 10 year GC after erroneously getting 2 year GC from USCIS and correcting it by filing I-90.
  10. When did you become a resident? The dates don't add up. If you're filing now at 1 year 9 months mark, you should have become a resident in August 2022. Are you filing late?
  11. There are two criteria for Naturalization: - Continuous residence - Physical presence Continuous residence means you should have not had any trips where a single trip spans over 180 days. Based on info you provided, you did not break continuous residence. Physical presence means you should have spent enough time in the US since becoming a resident. For a 3 year rule you need at least 18 months collectively of staying in the US as a resident in the past 3 years when you file it. For 5 year rule you need at least 30 months collectively of staying in the US as a resident in the last 5 years when you file it.
  12. Request is not an order, of course USCIS will decide whether they're ready conduct combo / have the capacity. But they were cases when IO was surprised / didn't know I-751 was pending. This letter is to make sure they're aware. It's optional. Thank you for asking that question for us!
  13. Just biometrics reuse? Some I-751 filers from November 2021 waited for over a year to get biometrics reused. Your case is going fast.
  14. You're should not receive GC after naturalizing, but sometimes USCIS makes error and sends one. Congrats!
  15. If you fixed it and have 10 year GC - ignore I-797C automatic reminder notice
  16. Otherwise, how is the marriage? Are you planning naturalizing? If you are, you're eligible (besides I-751), and marriage is good, you can file for N-400. It may push your I-751 to be decided faster. It looks like you're from Germany, so citizenship maybe complicated. And obviously this is not a legal advice.
  17. The same as before - Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR). Only immigration judge can take this status away unless you sign I-407 voluntarily. Technically yes, you can still travel as long as you have expired GC and new valid extension letter. Airlines unlikely going to treat you any different than travelling on original extension letter. CBP may put you in secondary upon return and ask several questions before letting you back in.
  18. You will receive extension letter valid for 24 months (I believe). You'll get it in mail 4-6 weeks after filing I-90 online. Expired GC and valid extension letter are good for reentering the US. Why did you wait until last minute? I believe GC can be renewed 6 months before expiration.
  19. You probably can. Ultimately, your spouse is the one responsible for all the answers on this form.
  20. Why would R-2 (non-immigrant visa) child be sent something related to US citizenship? Please elaborate.
  21. I-751 is typically filled and filed by the immigrant (lawful permanent resident). The immigrant is the petitioner and the beneficiary for I-751. The US citizen spouse (if LPR filing jointly) signs and dates part 8 questions. There's nothing else required from US citizen spouse in this form.
  22. It's not about visa expiration but status expiration. E.g. she may have 10 year tourist visa valid until 2028. But if she entered the US in December 2023, the max she could stay is 6 months from entry. If she falls out of status she can be deportable and certainly can be detained by ICE. If you were to file adjustment of status packet, her overstay would be forgiven if I-485 gets approved.
  23. This doesn't look too promising. CBP will likely issue NTA. I don't see many ties to the US in your case. You are not up to date on US taxes, you didn't have residence or job in the US for years and didn't even set the foot on US soil for 8 years.
  24. I-751 doesn't get just closed out, it gets adjudicated. Decision is made, most of the times approval. Closed out is typically for I-485 when somebody has multiple ways to become a resident. Or if you have pending I-131, I-765 and receive GC.
