That's helpful and answered my questions 🙂 @2891 I think all your questions were already answered in March-April 2023. There's nothing new to add.

No, it doesn't matter. I think you should be fine based on what you described.

Divorce doesn't happen overnight. Was the divorce already filed when you got approved? If divorce was filed, you need to be more careful.

Was divorce on file at approval time?

Don't forget ID / DL with current address where you live

You were married, but did you live together at the time of approval? Was divorce on file already at the time of approval? Always. Usually you'll only be asked about marital status and maybe why you got divorced.

Yes, the interview includes test. Oath does not include test.

They can ask about it. E.g. when did you divorce, why did you divorce. Did you get your GC through marriage?Did you have to through I-751? Were the conditions removed correctly?

Yes, you can apply as long as you spent most of your time in the US in the last 5 years (physical presence) and never had trips over 180 days (continuous residence). Youmay also want to provide copy of your GC in the application. Question: did you have I-751? If yes, was it approved correctly while you lived in marriage together, did it get approved with divorce waiver or something else?

I hope you realize that this won't solve your problem with travel in the short term? It will make it more complicated for the next 6 / 9 / 12 / 18 months, or however long N-400 takes? You wouldn't want to leave and miss biometrics, interview or oath. I think reentry permit is what you need. CBP told you you're flagged by the system. Attorneys don't have access to that system, they cannot guarantee anything.

You may need to file everything on paper given your answers need further clarification and don't fit the usual scenario. Honestly, I wouldn't file such case myself and have legal representation too. Are you sure it's not a deportable offence? Even if dismissed etc this still may be a problem for immigration.

Did the petitioner notify NVC of becoming a US citizen? It's important

If you start counting 5 years from the date you returned from the last long trip and apply based on that, you likely won't have this issue. At that time you'll be asked to provide travel history in the last 5 years, and those trips won't be included. You can read more here: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-3 Most likely you'll be able to reapply when you become eligible. There's very small chance of USCIS taking your GC away.

They're making sure you don't miss it!

Your current legal name appears to be Janice DOE. You should update all documents other than Birth Certificate and Marriage Certificate (which cannot be changed) with this legal name. No problem with your current name not matching Marriage Certificate. You're generally allowed to use new name after marrying somebody. List your birth name and other names used in the relevant field of N-400. P.S. This is not a legal advice. Others may correct me.

Time for N-400 or WoM?

You'll be fine, as long as you leave on time and don't use tourist visa to come back again. Just come back on CR-1, hopefully you'll get it soon?

For CR-1, you'll be fine as long as you didn't overstay. For January 2024 visit, you need to be careful. How long ago was your last departure from the US? You got already flagged for long visit. If you come too soon, you may get denied entry. Make sure not to misrepresent yourself, this would become an issue for CR-1.

1. Was this a real divorce? 2. Are you legally divorced? 3. Does the divorce decree follow visa reciprocity table? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Hungary.html "Divorce Certificates Available to the parties concerned and/or their legal representatives.

She can say and should say the truth. If she thinks she's gonna study and then work or both simultaneously, there's nothing wrong with that.

Isn't she coming to reunite with you? I'd think that's the main reason why she's immigranting into the US?

It's not easy, but doable. Here's guide:

Agreed, I think entire test will be repeated most likely

I missed the word "just". Thank you for catching this.
