I don't know how things stand with AOS nowadays, but for naturalization, I never received SS card in mail despite asking to update my status on N-400 form. I had to do a trip to SSA.
Here's details:
Yes, it's notoriously inaccurate. Does it have blue check mark? If it's not filled like previous steps, it actually means it's the next step and it hasn't been completed yet.
It's because USCIS doesn't differenciate between N-400 filers who have pending I-751 and those who don't (from extension letter perspective).
Extension letter is useful for somebody with 10 year GC expiring in 6 months.
Which is probably not going to happen.
My initial estimate was 7 months, case took 3.5 months. Estimate on day of my oath was 3 weeks until decision.
In short, this estimate cannot be trusted.
This is the last thing to worry about.
The bigger issue USCIS mistakenly approving I-751 without knowing your living situation. Or if they accuse you of misrepresentation. What will happen if USCIS officers knock on the door at the other address tomorrow morning? Would you be at that address? What the spouse would say to them? If you're not there, you may be accused of immigration fraud / misrep. It will be a much bigger headache than few months of possible delay. Yout case will be slower anyway with converting it to divorce waiver etc.
I misunderstood the earlier message. Thought you lived in NYC now. If you only receive mail there (as you said, he receives mail), but physically you sleep elsewhere every night, you don't live at that address.
Good luck!
Yes, you're required by law to notify USCIS about address change within 10 days of moving. Failing to update addresss is technically, a deportable offense.
Updating address late is historically fine. Not updating can be a problem.
I think the likelihood of bad outcome for I-751 is higher when keeping things in status quo - married, but not living together. Or living in broken marriage.
It's best to divorce and remove conditions on your own.
Partitioner? I think you mean petitioner?
US born citizens living outside the US for long periods of times typically do not have domicile in the US. Domicile isn't citizenship. It's strong ties to the US showing the citizen actually resides in the US.
Can you please share a link? I think what it means, bring expired passport with valid visa + new passport. 2nd passport is of no use TBH. I'm not aware of people carrying all of their expired passports they ever used to travel to the US.
You need a valid passport that is passport 3.
You also need a visa, which is in passport 1.
Passport 2 is irrelevant in my humble opinion, but you can carry it.
I don't see a problem, why do you think there would be?
