    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 😃

    Small correction for future readers. There's no I-155 stamp as of 2023. There's a I-151 stamp which is valid for a year. Can do pretty much everything with it, including obtaining SS card, driver's license etc.

    Nothing is fast with USCIS. You have proof of status of up to a year, which should be enough for GC to show up in the mail.

    Another option is contacting the sponsor company, they should have a record. FOIA may also help.
  16. OldUser
    Yes, online tool is not smart enough. I wonder if this is one of those rare cases when filing on paper applies?

    Please accept my condolences. This is very sad. You can write a letter to the service center asking to convert jointly filed I-751 to a waiver (box 1c on the form). Alternatively, you can file new I-751 with that box checked. Most importantly, do you have the death certificate?

    You can also get an eSIM or set up Google voice if maintaining a US number otherwise is expensive / impractical.

    That's if the fees will remain the same, which I doubt. Most likely in 5 years N-400 itself will be around $1000
  20. OldUser
    I only saw a correlation in few cases TBH. Usually I-751 takes however long it needs to take. If it coincides with N-400 they get adjudicated together.
  21. OldUser
    Because it helps improving processing times on paper. USCIS is known for applying FILO approach from time to time.
  22. OldUser
    Getting a qualifying joint sponsor appears to be the solution.
  23. OldUser
    What boxes were checked on G-28?
  24. OldUser
    Resident Since is the date to check, yes.

    Sorry to hear about that. What ports denied I-797? Please share your experience for others to be aware. I personally never had big issues with extension letter. Wishing you happy holidays and a speedy approval!
