It's just an online status. I bet if you file FOIA, you'll find I-751 was approved.

Administrative Processing doesn't have exact timeline. It can be days, it can be weeks or months. Nobody can predict.

I-797 is the receipt and extension. It's the same document .

Not for this section, but in general he should attach all the bonafide marriage evidence for his N-400 based on marriage: joint taxes, joint account bank statements etc etc

Does she have anything proving the abuse? Did she report to police, have witness, speak to a therapist or at least go to shelter? So far she gave USCIS all the reasons to believe the marriage was for immigration benefit: little joint evidence and they crumbled when a little pressure was put on them. In my opinion she must go to the second interview with or without spouse. And she can ask for WAVA, but she must have solid proof otherwise she may get accused of fraud.

I was under impression I-130 can be delayed indefinitely as long as you keep in touch once a year as @Crazy Cat mentioned?

I see. Well, you're almost at the finish line, so congratulations! Hopefully you won't need it, but you can sue USCIS for decision (Writ of Mandamus) after 60 days past your interview.

Don't forget I-864 and I-693

Because each stage is an opportunity to scrutinize immigration history. It's designed that way. And N-400 is the hardest one really, despite what everybody say. It's the biggest immigration benefit that USCIS can give and won't be able to revoke easily. Treat each interview as if you started from scratch. Don't assume because something was approved before it will be approved easily now.

Awesome! Great that you came prepared and convinced the officer your marriage is legitimate. How close were you to be eligible under 5 years rule and would you pick that route knowing what you know now?

It is generic language. If it doesn't apply to you, there's nothing to bring.

E.g. nobody gets free biometrics anymore 🥲

Couldn't she file for a divorce in the US? It is allowed here 😊

Always assume combo.

Let's see, thank you!

When they see visa they would ignore GC / I-551 stamp. Let us know how it goes!

Normal. It can take 4-6 weeks to get receipt

Good luck with your interview! Is a lawyer coming with you?

Thanks for sharing your experience and congratulations on getting Nexus! I fortunately had a much smoother experience with Global Entry interview, and I got it while on non immigrant visa (country was OK for GE). I guess Nexus has higher requirements for residence etc.

Send everything you have. You can and should ask for a copy of everything sent to USCIS from your lawyer. And yes, reviewing before sending would have been nice. I always did that when filing with a lawyer. In my opinion, your lawyer should own their mistakes (if any) and help with RFE for free.

I don't believe online is evidently faster or slower than mail filing. Each case is unique. Online or mail filing is only one variable in the process. We don't know who gets assigned the case and how busy they are, how quickly they work etc etc. Unfortunately USCIS does not publish N-400 statistics for each type of filing. While mail can get lost, don't forget how glitchy USCIS online systems are. I'm not surprised if a anything uploaded / submitted can get corrupt or lost in USCIS online system. Again, there's no proof of upload that you get as far as I know. If USCIS says you never replied to their RFE online, how would you prove you did? With mail, at least you can have certified mail. I'm not saying online or mail is better. Either has advantages and disadvantages.

Then no problem

Add 3-5 days after window opens and you won't even notice it. It will ensure your N-400 is not going to get rejected.

It's not strange. I-751 instructions ask for evidence from start of marriage. It's normal. Maybe some of your file got lost. Maybe it's locked in a cave and they think it would be faster if you sent them all the evidence versus trying to retreive it.

Great news! I'm glad they didn't just return the packet.
