    Looks like you asked this question in 2022 and got same answers: There will be no action for almost two decades.

    No surprise, you have a slightly complicated case - I-751 with abuse waiver. Those cases have a higher bar compared to folks who have joint I-751. Good luck with the interview!

    Very good news @Cornflake!

    It's miraculous USA has a category for siblings. Most countries don't.

    You can sue USCIS for decision (Writ of Mandamus)

    I checked again, it is actually 120 days https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-b-chapter-4 Sorry for mistake

    It's not like @leignot is going to get an award for picking a harder 3 year rule route? With the same outcome (citizenship) what's the rationale for going 3 year rule route? It's not faster either.
  9. OldUser
    If eligible for 5 year rule, it's not a brainer. 5 year rule wins: simpler, doesn't involve reproving marriage, less evidence required.

    Can you upload it again? People always say online filing is so easy and convenient. I guess I'm right fearing it. I thought about scenarios like yours many times.

    Many countries allow to get second passport in situations like yours. Have you explored the idea?
  12. OldUser
    They're not processing I-130 simply because they know no visa is available for him for another 5 years or so. Instead they're focusing on immediate relatives (minor kids, parents and spouses of US citizens) plus people who filed several years before 2013.
  13. OldUser
    Generally not an issue. How far did you go with those applications? Did you have an interview? Did you provide any information that is inconsistent with I-130 details?
  14. OldUser
    Some US citizens never been to the US. @Redro is right, the kids may get denied visas because citizens do not need visas to come to the US. If they're citizens, they'll need to get US passports.

    Let's hope they read it.

    File I-824 to be sure

    Change of status while in the US is a risky enterprise. It can take a while, way past 6 months of authorized stay on B1 to get a decision. If denied, the friend may accrue enough days to get a 1 or 3 year ban. It's much better to fulfill the promise of B1. Return home, apply for F1 and return on it.

    You apply for I-130 in any case. Then you'll either be IR1 or CR1 when visa is issued.
  19. OldUser
    Agreed, it's very possible.
  20. OldUser
    Absolutely not. That N-400 is dead on arrival (if under 3 year rule). The spouses have to live in marital union all the way until oath. Divorce in progress contradicts it.
  21. OldUser
    N-400 under 3 year rule is not an option with divorce in progress or finalized. You'd have to notify USCIS about divorce and convert I-751 petition from filed jointly to divorce waiver. If you get I-751 approved without telling USCIS about the divorce, it can become a big problem when trying to naturalize.

    Did the RFE mention replying by uploading or did it give instructions for mailing response?
  23. OldUser
    Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your experience. I guess you didn't get extension approved, but the I-751 (Removal of conditions) approved? Extension (I-797) comes automatically after filing I-751.
  24. OldUser
    Why are you applying under 3 year rule and not under 5 year rule? The latter is much easier.
  25. OldUser
    Cover letter could have been uploaded to N-400 online application. Sorry you had to go through this experience. This is why I'm bringing a lawyer to the interview even though I have an easy case. I'm yet to hear a story about IO treating applicants like this in a presence of a lawyer. You're almost done. Whether IO liked it or not, you had a right to file N-400 with I-751 pending.
