    Whoever is naturalizing needs to use their own account. For N-400 the LPR is both petitioner and beneficiary. Same as I-751. The only forms US citizen had to file were I-129F / I-130 and I-864. That's as far as I remember. That typically occurs at the very beginning of immigration journey. After getting GC, immigrant is the one responsible for their forms etc, which means they use their account.

    But it doesn't help WAVA case? I wouldn't be surprised if IO asks a question why you're still married to the abuser?

    Was USCIS aware of it? Looks like they sent notices to old address.
  4. OldUser
    What about address questions I asked? Did you move?

    I'm sorry you're going through this. In USCIS's twisted logic, the interview invitation was sent, your daughter never showed up for it and now it's being rescheduled. Has she changed addresses since filing N-600? Any other mail delivered to that address OK?

    Did you have biometrics reused or appointment? That's typically most you get in 1 year after filing. Approvals / RFEs begin at 18-24 months mark after filing I-751

    Important note: you have to actually file taxes each year, list and exclude foreign income. Meaning you won't be paying them if within the limit, but reporting for sure. But as LPR you'd be doing the same until you lose the status (tylically by filing I-407) Good luck and let us know how it goes!

    Good guess. Many US citizens apparently complete and file the N-400 forms for their LPR spouses. To me this is surprising, as the immigrant is supposed to be able to complete their own application since they're the ones naturalizing. I think you may be right about this.

    I remember that thread. The case was more complex than yours. To be 100% safe you can file on 3 year anniversary of coming back from 4 months break.

    No, you could file within 90 days window prior to Feb 12 2025. Don't apply on the first day when the window opens to be safe. However, you had point #2 which can affect the filing date. I'm sorry about your mother's condition. Technically yes, a strict officer may deny N-400 based on broken marital union. If you want to be bullet proof, apply in December 2025. However, if you feel like trying your luck, you can apply in February 2025. You may lose the filing fee, but that's all. You can always reapply. Your GC is safe as you didn't spend over 6 months overseas and didn't break residence.

    @elkski you may want to consider filing WoM to get decision on AOS. Otherwise need to file I-765

    Yes, if petition is denied AP and EAD are not valid anymore. If you're a US citizen, his unauthorized work will be forgiven if he's honest about it at the interview / on I-485 application. This is not to encourage such work, just in case if this already occured. However, travelling on AP based on denied petition may result in not being able to reenter the US.

    Based on spousal visa processing times ~18-24 months? Agreed, it would be foolish to leave now.

    Not naturalizing?

    IRS tax return trascripts is all you need when it comes to taxes, no need to submit 1040s. Also, I assume you have joint bank accounts and will be submitting full statements for those too?

    The foreign earned income exclusion is $120,000 per person. So $240 000 for both of you as far as I understand. Unless you're planning earning much more elsewhere, I wouldn't worry about taxes and naturalize. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/foreign-earned-income-exclusion I'm not a strong believer in congressman inquiry. They simply act on your behalf asking about the status of your case as far as I know. But it's worth trying. Let us know how it goes.

    1. What is I-131 visa? 2. Did she have spousal visa as she entered? 3. Did you pay Immigrant fee? https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-fees/uscis-immigrant-fee

    What about using Maiden name as Middle name? Doesn't this change require something else other than marriage certificate?

    Why not just try? I had a job when I applied though. What exactly happened - I applied, got denied, talked to their support and explained I had existing relationship with them in another country. Got approved.

    That's a very good suggestion. That's how I got my first card in the US in fact 😃

    Writ of Mandamus is there to help then. If you don't mind, why not naturalize? Would your US spouse give up US citizenship ultimately? If not, she'd be liable to file taxes no matter where she lives. It's more fun to file together 😃

    Sorry to hear about that. Manila is a hard place plus their daughter is in the US.

    There's a tiny chance a birth certificate (if born in the US) or naturalization certificate (if naturalized) may be asked at the interview. Why doesn't she have birth certificate? This is a super important document to have besides for purpose of your N-400. What if she loses her passport tomorrow? How would she prove US citizenship?

    Get on a YouTube show instead and speak to Jim. Sounds like somebody doesn't understand it well and gives incorrect advice.

    I can give you any random number and it won't be any less accurate then USCIS estimator.
