As mentioned in different thread, give it few weeks. You'll likely receive receipt in the mail within 4-6 weeks of filing. Then you'll be able to track it.

You do not need to worry about this status. It's normal. Can take from few days / weeks (most people) to months (small subset of people). Good news is, if you don't get any decision, you can sue USCIS after 120 days past interview date.

It is somewhat true. Online status is not legally binding and can change to anything else any time. The only thing that matters is when you have your certificate of naturalization in hand. Compared to "Your case is being actively reviewed" this one is more concrete though. Of course no solid promises can be made.

How does it help with getting confirmation of address change? Do you receive anything in mail etc to say you changed address?

It's not necessary but in my opinion, highly recommended. Considering how the US governmental agencies work, left hand often doesn't know what right hand does. The cost of printing few pages is negligible VS responding to RFE in the future and having them pay attention to previously completed medical overseas.

They approved them, you're in line for naturalization.

Exactly my thoughts.

If you mean I-551 stamp, she already has endorsed visa that's valid for travel for 1 year since her entry on immigrant visa. If you need beyond that, indeed you need an Infopass appointment. This varies a lot by office.

Hard to tell, but if in any doubt - I'd take daughter just in case. She's 17, the worst case she'd sit in the car / cafe nearby. I'd try to explain to security she's a dependant on I-751 and see if they let her in the building too.

I see, I got confused because it was posted in Removal of Conditions forum.

To summarize: if you have old GC and valid extension letter, I don't think you need to worry too much. Try to get it resolved with lawyer and USPS. If not resolved, file non delivery with USCIS. If not, file I-90 and get I-551 stamp.

What boxes were checked G-28? Does lawyer receive cards too or not? (there's separate box for that). If yes, you should bug lawyer to help you resolve it. Also, you can try talking to somebody in USPS office which serves lawyer's office. If card was mailed to your address, go to local post office, show them delivery status and ask the questions. Also, do you still have 2 year GC? Do you have extension letter which is still valid? If yes, you can travel with those in June if you don't have your GC at that time. Also, after talking to USPS, if they cannot help, you should consider filing non-delivery with USCIS : https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDCForm.do?entryPoint=init&sroPageType=ndc I understand how stressful it is, but you still have time to resolve it before the trip. I recommend to always wait for green card / passport etc before booking any flights.

Same was true for me during AOS. Remember, each stage - AOS, ROC, Naturalization - they're all linked but really independent petitions. You cannot assume because you got approval before you'll have easier time with new petition. The whole immigration system is designed to test you multiple times before giving a new immigration benefit. As I said, I'm more conservative and give all the evidence as instructions tell to avoid any possibility of USCIS requesting more. The other school of thought is "they already have it, why do I need to give it again?" You can choose whichever works for you the best.

Even if this was tracked - there's nothing wrong changing from 3 year rule to 5 year rule. It's perfectly legal. Nothing is set in stone, certainly not until application is submitted. Even then, I heard of people changing from 3 year rule to 5 year rule during the N-400 interview!

I-751 instructions ask for evidence from the start of marriage until date of filing. I did that I got approved without RFE / interview. Some of the evidence was already provided during adjustment of status. I didn't mind sending it again, as it was roughly 10% of the packet. The 90% was new evidence from the time I got GC. I excluded evidence of relationship before marriage, which was sent during AOS as it was not relevant for I-751. Many people submit evidence from the start of green card, and not from the start of marriage. It goes against the instructions but USCIS approves most of those cases just fine. I'm also more conservative when it comes to interpreting I-751 instructions asking for "as many documents". E.g. I submitted all the pages of all bank and utility bill statements. Other people did quarterly statements and were approved. It's your call.

Same day oath with name change? I doubt it. Hang in there, it's the final step.

Your first problem is expired GC and the fact airlines won't board you. All the legal stuff is secondary, and I don't understand why you keep waiting for October 2025. It's unrelated to GC expiration and you'll have to disclose this record anyways. You'll likely get denied I-90 now, you will more likely get denied I-90 several years after its expiration, as conclusion will be you lost LPR status due to being too long outside of the US.

That's right. A long as they got married within 90 days of entering on K-1, there's no need for I-130. They'd include copy of approval letter for I-129F with the packet (I-485, I-131, I-765 etc). Same goes for medical exam. If DS-3025 is checked completed by civil surgeon (all vaccinations done), then they can attach copy of that too.

Receipt on website is not exactly the same as paper one. Although it's nice to have both, the paper one is the one accepted by DMV / airlines etc.

03/25 was not that long ago. Give it 4-6 weeks to get paper receipt. That's probably when you should expect online status to work.

Looks like you asked this question in 2022 and got same answers: There will be no action for almost two decades.

No surprise, you have a slightly complicated case - I-751 with abuse waiver. Those cases have a higher bar compared to folks who have joint I-751. Good luck with the interview!

Very good news @Cornflake!

It's miraculous USA has a category for siblings. Most countries don't.

You can sue USCIS for decision (Writ of Mandamus)
