    You can start with inquiry into your case when it's outside of normal processing times. This can be filed electronically https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ Then, you can involve a congressman. Finally, if neither works, you can file Writ of Mandamus to get a decision. This can be done yourself for $402 or with a lawyer for ~$5000. This forces USCIS to take some action. Or you can keep waiting.

    I vote for rescheduling travel plans unless it's urgent. There's not that many things more important than becoming a US citizen. The problem with rescheduling oath, it can take months to get another invitation and USCIS can forget about the future citizen altogether 😃

    Time to think about rescheduling unless it's an urgent trip?

    If you filed in August 2023, it only been 5-6 months. It's perfectly normal wait time. Whenever I read N-400 is the fastest and easiest step, I scratch my head. It is the most serious part of immigration journey, with USCIS granting the ultimate immigration benefit that's very hard to revoke. No wonder they take time. They have go go through entire immigration file to see if everything was done correctly at visa, AOS (if applicable) and I-751 stage (if applicable). As one lawyer says, it's their last chance to deport somebody. No that they would deport anybody who's case taking longer. They just examine everything very closely. Plus the usual backlogs.

    Awesome!

    It's not extreme at all. It's a tool that works.

    I'd apply on 5 year mark after DUI incident to be sure. I'd also speak to an immigration lawyer. If this is a deportable offence, you may be better off not applying at all.

    Was he present in Nigeria at the court when divorce was granted? Is he sure divorce is real?

    Most importantly: does your mother want to go this route? Permanent residence should not be taken lightly. Not only she'd be stuck in the US for over a year while adjusting, in the future she should be spending majority of her time in the US. You should also file I-131. None of have a crystal ball to tell whether it's a completely problem free case. It all depends on health, criminal history (if any), US immigration history (if any).

    H1 to L1

    I'm not a lawyer and this is not a legal advice. Yes Practically, no. You can change the employers, but requirements are stricted compared to H1B making it very difficult Yes

    Agree with this. I can't see how one can use Visa A to enter and continue on status B in the US. A proper E2 visa needed for reentry in my opinion too. Essentially, OP should not travel outside of the US unless ready to reapply for visa.
  12. OldUser
    Well, but the change of status already occured. I don't think the visa is valid???

    Divorce decree, all passports, all documents issued by USCIS, all tax return transcripts. Practice answering questions using short precise sentences and "yes/no" where possible.

    It's up to your wife when she decides to file to be exact 😊 You're just a moral support at N-400 stage. I recommend she files herself to avoid any mistakes. She's the only one responsibe for her own naturalization.

    GC is different to EAD. Restriction cannot be removed while on EAD. The EAD card itself is authorization... But once GC is approved, it's a different story. Agree about I-751

    As far as I know this only is possible if beneficiary already lives with the sponsor and employment source is going to continue after becoming LPR. Similarly to using assets, it works half of the time.
  17. OldUser
    Generally no
  18. OldUser
    They don't care. 1. You could have had a completely new passport with no stamps 2. LPRs do not usually get any stamps after they have GC in hand, when entering or leaving the US 3. Airline is not CBP, they don't have authority to enquire, other than checking valid documents, which you have
  19. OldUser
    I'm not a lawyer, but my wasn't your F2 visa cancelled after you changed your status to E2? Do you have any stamp or anything like that proving you're on E2 now?
  20. OldUser
    She can go into administrative processing even without denial. There's no way of knowing, this is purely speculation.
  21. OldUser
    Thank you that's great to know. Do you know how long this has been the case? Can this change any time?
  22. OldUser
    Congressman, lawyers etc do not have power over US consulates / embassies when it comes to decisions. Nobody has a right to come to the US. Only a privilege, unfortunately.
  23. OldUser
    USCIS decide themselves which processing center will be assigned to each case. You have no control over it. How they determine it is not public information. The processing time depend on how many cases are handled at each center, how many people are employed there and how quickly they do their job reviewing cases.
  24. OldUser
    I think you're asking for trouble. Either you have to be in the US or travel with her and enter first.

    I'm not aware of thought crime penalties being enforced in this country. And there is no crime in changing or keeping name as is for whatever reason. However, if false information is provided to a SSA official, it may fall under https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/ssact/title11/1107.htm I have nothing else to add, and would leave this link for a lawyer to interpret...
