  1. 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.
  2. 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!
  3. Just biometrics reuse? Some I-751 filers from November 2021 waited for over a year to get biometrics reused. Your case is going fast.
  4. You're should not receive GC after naturalizing, but sometimes USCIS makes error and sends one. Congrats!
  5. If you fixed it and have 10 year GC - ignore I-797C automatic reminder notice
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. You probably can. Ultimately, your spouse is the one responsible for all the answers on this form.
  10. Why would R-2 (non-immigrant visa) child be sent something related to US citizenship? Please elaborate.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Same was for me. USCIS tracker is behind
  16. I'm pretty sure it has to be done during his interview, but I may be wrong.
  17. Why fiancé visa? It is more expensive and complicated than spousal visa. It's not any faster nowadays either.
  18. At least they didn't make up info!
  19. I'm surprised to see people filing thin cases. At N-400 stage I'd assume people learned by heart that burden of proof is on the petitioner and not USCIS. There must have been several interactions with USCIS at this point if somebody is naturalizing...
  20. You need to bring everything assuming it will be combo I-751 and N-400 interview.
  21. I don't think I fully agree with the lawyer, I-751 can be decided before the N-400 interview. And RFE can be sent on I-751 before the interview. It's low chance but it's possible. Either way you're just waiting. Good luck!
  22. I was under impression the primary sponsor also need to provide proof of domicile for immigrant visa to be approved?
  23. What's the point of providing information without evidence? To receive RFE? How useful is information without backing evidence?
  24. As long as you're not marrying and adjusting status, you're good
