    He already applied and interview is coming 🥲

    Don't apply until it's resolved, otherwise N-400 will be stuck waiting for resolution. If you can pay fine / do whatever to resolve it quicker, I'd do it. Maybe consult a lawyer specializing in traffic violations.
  3. OldUser
    That's commendable.

    It's true, but are you willing to risk your job that pays bills and provides for the family, considering mass layoffs, replacements by AI etc? I'm not ready to sacrifice my family's wellbeing to prove I'm right and they're wrong. It's easy for me to show them two pieces of paper. Every day if they need it. As I wrote to @P055UM, I'd try pushing back gently in hope that there are sensible people in HR who will understand before confronting.

    Thank you for digging and finding this! I agree, it is discrimination and illegal. Sadly, it's commonplace.

    Then it's total made up excuse. How can they lose file in their online database? I never heard of this. 1) Are you from high fraud / unfriendly country? Think Nigeria, Iran, Cuba, Morocco etc. 2) Did you have any criminal past? 3) Did you get GC through marriage which fell apart quickly after becoming LPR? There may be something in your background not making USCIS happy

    Sorry about it. I remember it was a 5 year rule case. E.g. no pending I-751 etc (since you had GC from 2012) Did you file N-400 on paper?
  8. OldUser
    Old I-130 needs to be withdrawn if still pending. There's nothing more confusing than two spousal petitions for different people. Of course, new petition will be affected negatively to some degree.
  9. OldUser
    Yes it will. You need to have all of these resolved before your interview.
  10. OldUser
    Yes, it's normal. It's new wording for the same status. Cc @P055UM😃

    Classic HR... As soon as I learned I could show DL + SS card, I realized this is the path of least resistance 😅 You could just show them these docs, and ask them to leave you alone as I-9 reverification should not apply go you. If they insist on seeing GC or ask you in the future, then show them manual etc. In writing, like email (so you have proof conversation took place) Good luck!

    From what I know, reverification for LPRs isn't required. However, I experienced one as LPR. Entire company workforce had to go through I-9 reverification. In your case, HR incompetence is most likely the factor driving I-9 reverification. Hence, my recommendation to never show GC to employer.
  13. OldUser
    I always advocate for using List B + List C documents for I-9, which is: - state ID (or DL) AND - unrestricted social security card* (conditional LPRs are eligible for that) Is this something you can provide? Showing green card, especially conditional, often results in weird requests from HRs. * unrestricted social security card is the one that doesn't say "Valid For Employment Only With DHS Authorization" or other stuff like that. SS card can be replaced at Social Security Administration. You need to file form SS-5 to get one without restrictions, as long as you have GC and extension letter (if applicable)

    It's always the case for small set of cases. E.g. USCIS adjudicates some % of new cases to keep processing times lower on paper.

    The biometrics appointment letter is black and white, at least it was for me in 2019? Is yours watermarked? Only receipt and approval are watermarked.

    Airlines too, who take responsibility of enforcing immigration laws when they're supposed to just provide transportation... The list goes on 😅
  17. OldUser
    Yes, very likely it's going to be an issue.
  18. OldUser
    This is true, I never advocated for not carrying GC. Subjectively, using it (taking out of wallet, handing over to other people) increases chances of losing it. I carried GC but never got it out of my pocket. Lyft / Uber is a one time expense, most IDs are valid for 5+ years. Of course, one can live without ID, and many do. But then people run into issues with passports expiring, other IDs getting lost. Even many USCIS officers expect to see ID / DL with US address on it. I think going to DMV once in 5 years is a small sacrifice leading to more convenience every day. But again, these are just opinions, and there is no right or wrong.
  19. OldUser
    You have a better chance coming to the US through employment, eventually getting GC from employer and naturalizing. This may take less time than pursuing F3.
  20. OldUser
    State ID is an option for non-drivers. How would one be confirming their age, identity for various reasons? Flashing foreign passport at supermarket? I think it's way too impractical to carry passport plus if it's lost, the cost of replacement is a lot higher than getting another state ID. Same goes for GC. It's too valuable to lose plus creates immediate reaction from employers and anybody you're showing it to... E.g. they instantly think "foreigner". Many Americans are not familiar with US passports, let alone foreign passports or GCs. IMHO getting at least a state ID is a responsible and practical thing to do. I got my first state ID on temporary work visa. Took a bus to DMV.
  21. OldUser
    I think it's a fair assumption that somebody who lives in the US for 3+ or 5+ years and naturalizing would be fully integrated with US society and have state ID or DL.
  22. OldUser
    Did you just walk in or you rescheduled?
  23. OldUser
    Has LPR met physical presence and continuous residence requirements for N-400?

    Assets are routinely ignored. If you can find a qualifying joint sponsor, it would help overcoming RFE.

    How many bottles were you bringing? I assume Chilean wine? I love it 😀
