  1. Looks like website maintenance:
  2. Yes, you absolutely should apply for citizenship. In some cases filing for N-400 forces decision on I-751, because you cannot get naturalized without conditions removed. As long as you're LPR, you can stay and work in the US. Whether you have valid or expired GC doesn't change the fact you're LPR. If you have unrestricted social security card and valid driver's license / state ID, you can show them to any employer to prove your eligibility to work. If you have to travel internationally, you should carry expired GC and valid extension letter. If extension letter expired, you can get InfoPass appointment and 1 year stamp in your passport proving LPR status. When you file for N-400 you'll get a letter similar to I-751 extension letter, but it won't be valid for travel or proving status as it only extends GC by 24 months. Good luck!
  3. Congrats! I was also approved on a Saturday
  4. It is certainly long, but not the record. Is this a divorce waiver case? Did you move since filing? Did you apply for citizenship?
  5. Time to enter the US is about the same on K1 and CR1. However, time to get GC is 6-18 months longer on K1. Plus it's more expensive.
  6. It's your ceremony. It is down to you to decide when to leave.
  7. It's fair to assume you cannot naturalize while in the 90 day window. I wouldn't worry about it for few more months until you hit at least 6 months of waiting.
  8. Interesting to see what the outcome would be. I'm pretty sure they won't have the oath until they're out of 90 day early window.
  9. 2 months is not a long time. Yes, N-400 are quicker nowadays, but only a year ago, 9-12 months was the norm. I think it's too early to worry. - Did you apply 90 days early or after anniversary of LPR status? - Do you have I-751 pending?
  10. Very good question. Was ESTA denied? B is a longer and tougher road VS ESTA.
  11. This only talks about eligibility for naturalization. My assumption is applicants are not scheduled for the interview before they're eligible (otherwise what's there to review) but I don't have it anywhere in writing.
  12. D. 90-Day Early Filing Provision (INA 334) An applicant filing under the general naturalization provision may file his or her application up to 90 days before he or she would first meet the required 5-year period of continuous residence as an LPR.[14] Although an applicant may file early according to the 90 day early filing provision, the applicant is not eligible for naturalization until he or she has reached the required five-year period of continuous residence as a lawful permanent resident (LPR). https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-6
  13. It jumps up and down, but trust me, adding evidence doesn't change anything in reality. The truth is, nobody is looking at the case for months. It's sitting in the queue and can be updated with new evidence as much as you want. The whole review by human takes 20 mins after a long wait.
  14. It is completely useless. You can roll a dice and get a better prediction. It's wrong across the board, not just for I-130. People get naturalized and their estimate shows 5 months to decision on the day of oath.
  15. Those are random numbers. You can roll a dice and get a more accurate prediction.
  16. Roll a dice and you'll get a better estimate. Those numbers are largely inaccurate across the board: from spousal visas to N-400.
  17. I don't believe in these numbers. You can roll a dice and get a better estimate. Jumps from few days to several months and back are fairly common based on regular VJ reports.
  18. The timelime is a random number. Throw a dice and you'll have a better prediction of how long you got left to decision.
  19. Still? It's only been 2 months or less? Typically naturalization takes close to a year, but this year is a little faster, down to 4-6 months. 2 months is very reasonable to have no news.
