  1. Those are random numbers. You can roll a dice and get a more accurate prediction.
  2. Roll a dice and you'll get a better estimate. Those numbers are largely inaccurate across the board: from spousal visas to N-400.
  3. 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.
  4. The timelime is a random number. Throw a dice and you'll have a better prediction of how long you got left to decision.
  5. 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.
  6. I don't think there's much you can do, other than apply from another country if eligible.
  7. You're getting divorced. 3 year rule is not an option. You have to be married on the day of oath to naturalize under 3 year rule. Plus you don't have a reason to file under it since you're a resident of 5+ years.
  8. While it may work and it's worth trying, not all the banks have the abiltity to override the AI driven fraud detection algorithm. Somerimes they'll say they put a note in the system only to have charge declined. The safest bet is to avoid card payments for USCIS fees.
  9. It may be too late, some divorces take longer than I-751. If OP was 2 months into I-751, that would be another story. Either way, I have nothing else to add other than good wishes to OP.
  10. You said one can notify about divorce during the interview - but there's great chance there would be no interview if USCIS doesn't know about divorce. Notifying when divorce is finalized may be too late. IMHO it's much better to get I-751 denied for not replying to RFE in time and refile VS get GC approved on the basis of joint filing when divorcing / divorced. That could be flagged as immigration fraud staining the record, making it even harder to get ROC approved. If I was in OP's position, I'd consult with family and immigration lawyers to plan for ROC solo.
  11. If one does not tell about divorce, GC maybe approved on the wrong premise of jont filing. Remember very few I-751 now have interviews! The right approach is finalizing divorce ASAP and notifying USCIS as soon as you're sure you can get hands on final divorce decree.
  12. No, and you cannot be expected to have other person's BC after divorce.
  13. I doubt that's OP's intention because naturalization was mentioned. @US2UK you should focus on divorce and I-751. Gather and make copies of all evidence as @A110 outlined. If you have solid evidence, you can convert I-751 to divorce waiver and remove conditions based on that. You'd be naturalizing under 5 year rule of being LPR when the time comes. I wouldn't worry about it just yet, you have to get conditions removed first.
  14. Lying to government agency is never a good idea. What's even advantage of filing single and not checking the right box? You don't gain anything other than having to amend it...
  15. Congratulations! You will get USPS tracking number in USCIS status once the GC is shipped. However, if you use USPS Informed Delivery, you may see package from Lee's Summit Production Facility - that's GC. It may show up few days earlier than USCIS status.
  16. There's nothing to do. US citizen can switch jobs any time.
  17. Glad you waited for it and it wasn't long! Thank you for the update and good luck! Hopefully you won't be using credit card to pay?
  18. I don't think it would be successful. Banks will motivate it's for better security or will try to remove liability from themselves for fradulent transactions. To OP and readers: please do not use cards for USCIS payments, declined charges are pretty frequent. To OP: unfortunately, you now have to pay increased fees as if you never filed.
  19. Your spouse must be present. You will get asked more questions about marriage and your spouse to ensure it's bonafide.
  20. @Zumbadaddy assuming your goal is to have your wife's I-751 and N-400 approved: All pages for all bank statements from joint account(s) since the time you got married until now. Unredacted / unaltered, showing all details. Again, shouldn't be just one statement. What name does her GC show? Maybe it should have matched that if the end goal for her to have married name. But I guess not much can be done now. If you want her to have hard time removing conditions / naturalizing you can just skip these. Good luck!
  21. There was a rush of people filing all sorts of petitions before fees were raised on April 1. I'm sure USCIS is just overwhelmed.
  22. I don't think it's a problem. But why did you use London address in the first place?
  23. Many many people sent their applications before fees increase on April 1. Your packet is likely sitting in the storage facility waiting to be opened. Typically it takes 4-6 weeks after delivery to get extension letter. But with this influx of applications it can take longer.
  24. You receive two notices typically after filing: 1) Acceptance notice / extension notice / I-797 2) Code for adding case to USCIS account Then biometrics notice (either reuse or appointment), then RFE (optional), notice of intent to deny (optional), interview (optional) and decision.
