    It's normal. I had I-751 and the cases around mine were delayed for 2 months compared to other cases submitted on other weeks.

    You cannot guess for USCIS / DHS why they're asking this or that question. The question doesn't ask about unlawful status or anything like this. I vote for answering "yes" too. Otherwise this may bite her as misrepresentation in the future.

    Without information in profile, original message or other threads it's hard to guess where you're from. With exception for Canada / EU, most visitors require visa so I made an assumption. Overstay is an overstay, as @SalishSea says. Overstay AND lack of ties is pretty hard to overcome but you can try. 4 months in between visits is way too short also, even if overstay and lack of ties wasn't a factor. I give it 95% chance of denial if you try coming now.

    Is your visa still active or was it cancelled? I would imagine overstay triggers visa cancellation? The chance of denial is high in my opinion. You also need to be careful about answering questions about purpose of your visit. You cannot lie as it can become a misrepresentation later in your immigration history.

    That is a mistake which can haunt you in the future. Always make copies of everything you ever submitted to USCIS. An immigrant may be asked questions 3 / 5 years later at N-400 stage or at some other stage about AOS forms and what answers were given. It's to immigrant's benefit to know what was sent in the past to avoid any issues. Sure, some of this information may be obtained later by filing FOIA. But it takes time (months) and it's sometimes incomplete.

    Your lawyer is doing exactly what you paid for in the interest of beneficiary. What's going to be the proof of fullfiling the residency requirement? Also, the yes / no question regarding 2 year residency requirement should be answered truthfully. If fiance doesn't remember whether they were subject to this rule or not, they cannot answer truthfully.

    I always take approach of "what all can I submit to support my case" VS "what's the required minimum I can submit to get approval". This ensures you're above and beyond the required minimum and thus lessens the chance of RFE

    Including affidavits does not hurt at all. I threw a couple of them in my I-751 packet. Not sure what role they played in approval, but sometimes it's this little affidavit that moves the needle if IO has a doubt!

    Must have been me 😅 The instructions for I-751 call for as much evidence as possible. The quality evidence does not become less useful when there's a lot of it. People don't receive RFEs for providing too much relevant evidence, but do get it for missing evidence. Quarterly appears to be acceptable and many people got approved with it, however when I did mine I sent monthly. Never got any issue for that. Approved without the interview.

    Your mom has a green card. It's advisable she's back to the US. She doesn't need the permit if she's back within less than a year of absense. Even if she's out of the US for more than a year, she should come back to be with you and maintain her US residence.

    There's no such thing as too much evidence. However, people get RFEs for not enough evidence.

    You should give the truthful answer, it's not a choice. It would unlikely cause any issues.

    I believe it's local field office based on their schedule. My understanding is, when interview is scheduled, an applicant gets the letter. There's not much time in between "requested" and "scheduled". They occur at the same time to my knowledge. I wouldn't trust live person on the phone (tier 1), they usually make things up. No interview letter = nothing is requested yet in my understanding.

    I'd expect divorce waiver case to take much longer than 14 months, in the range of 24-30 months. The official processing times now is 19 months for LIN - https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

    You probably want to naturalize in the US before you go back to your home country if your goal is to keep the option to live in the US without losing status. After that just make sure to pay worldwide taxes to the US and renew US passport on time to avoid delays in future trips. Nothing happens after you become a US citizen, whether you live in the US or elsewhere in the world.

    Because otherwise interview may go without this question ever be asked. The best thing is to prepare an errata sheet and notify the IO about it before the interview starts.

    Usually you'll receive the letter in 2-6 weeks

    State ID / DL only. Never show GC / passport on internal flights, these docs are inferior.

    SF is taking 8-10 months in total easily.

    You need to get a full medical in the US and complete all missing vaccinations. Forget about I-693, as if it never happened, if it is from 2015-2016.

    Busy field office, complex immigration history (prior asylum / divorce from USC / WAVA) or other issues (based on country of origin, criminal charges etc). Or simply bad luck.

    This is normal. I had estimate for I-751 as 7 months on website, but it took 20.5 months in reality. None of these processing times are accurate. Nobody here can give you correct estimate. Each case is unique, plus processing times change all the time.

    A far as I know, nothing extra to be filed. If I-485 is approved, overstay will be forgiven since it's marriage to US citizen.

    Lol me 😃
