  1. After divorce you're no longer eligible for N-400 under 3 year rule. Technically, you can file for N-400 under 5 year rule, whether your I-751 is approved or pending at that time. Look at your 2 year GC. Find "Resident since" date. Add 5 years to it and subtract 90 days. That's the earliest you can apply for N-400 in your case. Sometimes you want to get I-751 approved first, if it's messy.
  2. Potentially the US address problem? OP, what's the plan, when are you coming back to live in the US? I hope you know the reentry permit only covers 2 years max since the time you left the US (AFAIK)? Then you'd have to get a new one.
  3. Typically yes, no need to file I-751 from scratch unless the original filing has issues which are easier fixed by filing new form. But then you go back in the queue. You will likely get your 10 year GC if you put the effort it, have good evidence and handle yourself well at the interview (it may be waived too).
  4. Ok, file it after you move.
  5. Yes, of you no longer live at the address, you need to file AR-11 within 10 days of moving. You're gonna be removing conditions based on good faith marriage and divorce, not abuse.
  6. He can complain to USCIS but it doesn't mean you can't stay in the US. Your ex doesn't own you or your immigration status. I totally understand he's hurt and you wasn't nice of you to cheating, but he is not in charge of your immigration status.
  7. Great, I forgot you were also in SF office. There's a few folks here who also got naturalized in SF, but didn't have same day oath.
  8. You should be OK then. Yes, it's not going to be the easiest case, since your ex spouse is sour, but it's approvable. You need to convert your case to divorce waiver. Or file a fresh I-751 based on divorce and withdraw existing petition.
  9. Is this all the evidence you sent? Seems thin to me. Photos and affidavits are the weakest evidence. How about jointly filed taxes, leases, health insurance, beneficiaries on 401K plans, flight reservations with both names etc?
  10. ^^ this makes me think OP is going through ROC
  11. You have I-751 pending? What all the evidence did you send? When are you getting the divorce decree? Your ex cannot deport you but can complicate I-751 approval, that's all. If USCIS finds your marriage wasn't bonafide, that's when you can get put in removal.
  12. You cannot withold this information about divorce. Notify USCIS about divorce ASAP. This is critical. You need to convert your I-751 to divorce waiver and attach copy of divorce decree. If you skip it now and get I-751 approved without updating USCIS about divorce, you'll have major issues when trying to naturalize. To the point, that USCIS will revisit your LPR status and potentially put you in removal. Also, the fact USCIS sent you a couple of RFEs signals they may know about your marital issues / divorce.
  13. Don't do it, it's not worth it. Yes, technically it will be forgiven, because she's married to a US citizen. But it may result in delays / questions at the interview etc. Aim at sending application 10, better 14 days before I-94 expires. If money is the reason, borrow somewhere to cover costs. There's nothing cool about being out of status for a new immigrant.
  14. I assume you're married to a US citizen? Do it now. Question to others: is I-129F still ok in this case or dead e.g I-130 is required?
  15. Why did you go? From what I heard, having USC petitioner at the CR-1 / IR-1 interview overseas usually hurts and doesn't help the case.
  16. Three things you need to realize: - Lawyers start at $3000. A good one starts at $5000 - Lawyers cannot help much with overseas case. They cannot attend consular interview with you, cannot appeal the visa decision - You'll still have to do the legwork and ensure everything is filed correctly. If, when you fiance comes to the states, you still think you need a lawyer, you can shop around for one for Adjustment of Status (AOS). Make sure you check any lawyer on: - https://www.aila.org/ - https://www.americanbar.org/ to ensure they're real lawyers. You can start search on Yelp of other similar websites. Get a few consults and see who appears to be credible.
  17. It's possible the original medical is missing something. The path of least resistance is to get a fresh medical. You already have another RFE and seem to be somewhat close to decision. Don't get your I-485 denied, because you'll have to start over (think about new wait and fees!)
  18. Don't worry. Everybody is a subject to biometrics appointment. USCIS waves a lot of them, but schedules some people randomly. There's nothing wrong.
  19. Congratulations!!! Thanks for the update! Which field office?
  20. See https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/632906-traveling-on-extension-letter/
  21. Neither. You can download tax return transcripts from IRS website. They're usually 1 page long and preferred by USCIS.
  22. You can check processing times: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
  23. I think @Rocio0010 is pointing out this is a common knowledge? Outside of few exceptions for US LPRs, every country looks at the passport and doesn't really care about permanent residences elsewhere including the US.
  24. Is this a question or a statement? Yes, typically a passport dictates whether visa is required. However, a good example is travelling to Canada with passport and Green Card. Even if passport requires appying for visa or eTA to enter Canada, green card waives that requirenent. US LPRs can enter Canada visa free. There's some other countries which simplify entry for US LPRs. Of course, passport is still required. Of course, the primary purpose of GC is living in the US and travelling to the US.
