That's amazing. So you don't have to worry about stamps for some time! -
+1000 Hence my question to OP about moving addresses which never got answered...
-
Agreed, every GC has address where to mail it of found. Perhaps if @Ad & Ga doesn't want to wait (I wouldn't think this is urgent matter), this can me mailed with proof of delivery...
-
No it's not true. I-485 will sit undecided in the queue of undecided I-485s however long it needs.
-
Do not come to the US to adjust. It will be messy if USCIS assumes she had immigrant intent coming on B visa. DCF is already a fast track. AOS is long, expensive and limiting (cannot work, cannot travel for some time).

@Vickys_Mom out of curiousity, how does one call a person without first name? Do they get referred to by last name by family members? If so, how do you distinguish who's being called if everybody in family shares the same last name?

Yet another data point for @pushbrk.

That's why I always recommend filing for N-600 https://finance.yahoo.com/news/florida-retiree-cant-claim-social-112200636.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=YW5kcm9pZC1hcHA6Ly9jb20uZ29vZ2xlLmFuZHJvaWQuZ29vZ2xlcXVpY2tzZWFyY2hib3gv&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAB2BX7avwMMqzPlSiyUt_OJHlq9b5Ig_YFk7dYQaPzyJvtDZzVHT6q95U8IIXrlNEUdFXTaB1iJvVESTvrvLgOhqBCLsN0yMfnJ3HIRaI1UzlGkvzAT2MbWX6M-M69ahS-a2bYgwcVHU0ank92b2g6of0zlzLYyHF1Gu-kwE1jKE

N-400 February 2024 Filers
OldUser replied to Laure&Colin's topic in US Citizenship Case Filing and Progress Reports
I guess for some it's an opportunity to change it to something more pronouncable / recognizable. People try to fit in. Some Chinese or Polish names may be hard to read for example. Also, there may be some degree of bias when applying for jobs etc. -
You can roll a dice and get a better prediction on estimated time.

90 day early filing works for both 3 and 5 year rule. If she didn't break continuous residence and meet physical presence requirements, she can file today.
-
That's a very good point. Frankly speaking, all the other prior petitions other than I-130 and I-864 was also hers Especially I-751. But now it's 200% her responsibility to answer everything correctly and go through the process.
-
The status online doesn't always show accurate information. Some people got GC in the mail while status showed “Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken” . If you moved and never received new extension letter, you could have missed other things.
-
Thank you for clarifying. Keep the ties to the US (job, lease, assets, taxes), spend much more time in the US then outside and you'll be OK.
-
If you're in a hotel lobby and trying to get to your room on the 20th floor... Would you take elevator (5 year rule) or would you climb the stairs (3 year rule)? Why do you want to make the interview potentially harder than it is? Your wife won't get any special reward going harder route. The end result is the same - citizenship. I just don't understand the question...
-
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.
-
I heard of this happening before. I'm sure if a lawyer was present, IO wouldn't dare asking irrelevant stuff...
-
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.
-
Or maybe worth trying requesting 48 months extension which would be valid for another 2 years VS stamp for 1 year?
-
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

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.
-
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)
-
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

Bit confused
OldUser replied to Chene's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
It looks like OP already got 10 year GC after erroneously getting 2 year GC from USCIS and correcting it by filing I-90. -
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?
