Read the first post: It wasn't for AOS. OP successfully adjusted, but received wrong card. I-90 was filed to replace it. 10 year card renewal can be quick, but can also take 9-12 months.

Bring valid proof of your status

With SSN for fiance, it's either right after arrival, while they have valid I-94 and haven't married OR months later, after marrying, filing for adjustment and receiving EAD. SSN is asked from both parties for marriage license. If one party doesn't have it, they don't have it.

New I-485 can take many months, even a year or more. I-130 on its own doesn't give you any status. Perhaps, you and /or your spouse can probably borrow money or take extra shifts and cut down expenses. Immigration process should not be taken lightly. Good luck!

Probably wasn't production ready. They tested it on subset of users and rolled back. Don't you worry, USCIS will have another useless timeline feature released some time in the future. Nobody can predict with 100% how long the case will take, not even an immigration lawyer, not even USCIS.

I wouldn't bother. You're submitting it with your packet, right?

Not an issue at all. FOIA should not hurt your chances of getting visas.

2 weeks is very early. Letters take 2-6 weeks easily to reach you if sent by USCIS.

Not an issue in California.

This is the third time you're asking this? My answer is the same: 1) I think USCIS just doesn't take you seriously at this point with this many missed ceremonies 2) I don't believe this is DIY anymore. a) I'd hire a lawyer to potentially withdraw N-336 and file a new fresh N-400. b) I'd be writing a cover letter for that N-400 literally saying you're intending to naturalize this time around c) I'd stay put in the US, don't move addresses, don't travel internationally until I become a citizen d) If you have anything else other than medical emergency conflicting with interview / oath, move or reschedule that, not interview or oath. You really have to prioritize immigration.

Does she have any plans to become a US citizen?

Yep, so add 13-17 months from date on your I-130. That's a safe estimate.

She won't get denied because she hasn't travelled in 12 years. Other factors matter, like ties to Russia or criminal history. Worst case she loses the filing fee. Nobody can guarantee or predict outcome of application with 100% certainty. It's between the applicant and US government. But we can speculate based on similar cases in the past and how they went.

She doesn't need agency or third party website to apply for visitor visa. She just needs to file DS-160 form, upload photo and pay the fees: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/tourism-visit/visitor.html Make sure she puts true information on this form. Any material misrepresentation / lie / inaccuracy can cause her never get any US immigration benefit. Many visitor visas are denied, especially if she's a single lady with weak ties to her country. Things like good job or successful business, properties and other ties increase her chance of getting visa. Worst case, if she gets a denial, you can meet in Europe as she has Schengen visa and you supposedly have US passport.

It also depends on what case you filed. For spouse / parent it's 13-17 months from USCIS receiving case for I-130 to be approved. For siblings, it can be 15-20 years.

It doesn't mean much. E.g. don't trust it. Here are examples: I can keep posting as I have many more examples. My own N-400 was estimated 7 months, but completed in 3.5.

Was the copy of current card attached for I-90 renewal?

Wait until GC is received.

Each case is unique. The timelines vary. I hope you get good new soon! Technically, you can sue USCIS for decision on day 121 after interview.

Yes this sounds like a plan. Do not send GC to USCIS unless they request it later in process. Only send a copy with I-90 filing. If it's USCIS mistake, it should be free replacement. Good luck!

March - June. Not everybody gets scheduled for interview within 3 months of filing the case. Give it at least few more months. Anything within 12 months of applying is reasonable in my humble opinion.

Shouldn't be an issue

Why? I'd think she'd only violate terms of J1 if she uses EAD to work. If she doesn't get other employment, she can be in J1 status until it expires or she receives GC, whichever first.

Same answer as here:

I'm not aware of any official instruction on what to do in this case. Here are some options: Option 1 On GC, there's mailing address printed saying where to send it if found. You can mail it there and it will be in USCIS possession. If you choose this option, I'd use some mailing option with proof of delivery. Then keep proof for any future reference, if USCIS asks what happened to that GC. Option 2 Keep the GC in safe place. During naturalization interview or oath ceremony, you may be required to bring all of your green cards and other IDs issues by USCIS. You'll surrender it then.
