  1. OK. Just make sure you don't lose GC for educational purposes. Sometimes withdrawing N-400 is the right thing to do. You may also want to consult with immigration attorney. If you hope USCIS approves your case, make sure it's not approved in error or by misrepresentation. Because this will put your citizenship at risk for the rest of your life.
  2. Why not withdraw it? Is there a danger to GC itself?
  3. I don't think this requires disclosing it to USCIS. However, it does need to be reported to IRS. All the legal papers have to be signed according to the laws of her home country.
  4. If: - the parent is in the US - you filed I-130 and I-485 together - or you filed I-130 online and included copy of receipt when filing I-485 then it's strange. However, if you made a mistake filing them separate and not including copy I-130 receipt, USCIS may think your parent is overseas. And of course, no I-485 is not needed if you parent is indeed overseas.
  5. By the time congress / senator office responds, OP would be already travelling
  6. I wouldn't do it even if you could. Activate your visa, get married, file AOS and avoid issues in the future. Keep spreadsheet with all the trips so you can easily file N-400 when the time comes too, especially after becoming LPR.
  7. Which Graduation Ceremony? Do you mean Oath Ceremony? Yes, some people had it on the same day as their naturalization interview. Depends on whether you get approved and how busy the field office is.
  8. He must file taxes if he's a tax resident from IRS perspective (check rules, depends whether he spent 183 days in the US in the last 3 years). Failure to file taxes is punishable by law. IRS tax residence is different to legal permanent residence. He may not be a resident in legal sense. But he may be a tax resident.
  9. Everything is logical. She's no longer an LPR, she's a citizen. Let us know how it goes. If she cannot get passport in time, maybe the trip can be moved?
  10. No, she cannot. She won't be allowed to board a plane to return to the US. By law US citizens must use US passport to leave and enter the US. Did she apply for emergency US passport (if qualified)?
  11. Well, if you guys bought a house together, had a kid, use joint bank accounts for most of transactions, share medical and other insurances, have wills in each other names... Then filing separately is not a thing. My example is exaggerated, but you get the point.
  12. Filing jointly is not a requirement for I-751. If you have other good evidence, it may be OK to file MFS.
  13. You must assume combo even if you don't have a letter. Take your spouse with you.
  14. A form is completed by civil surgeon with many things, including vaccination record.
  15. What about people outside of her or your family? Family affidavits are even less valuable, because families are interested parties. Here's example: https://citizenpath.com/i-130-affidavit-sample-spouse/
  16. No, then I-485 forms are not required. Your wife and daughter should leave on time and go via consular processing. I-130 for each is OK. You need to check whether daughter will have to wait way longer due to visa bulletin and her category.
  17. Who's gonna write those affidavits? Friends, people who know you as a couple?
  18. Arbitrary. It's a made up estimate.
  19. But who said they won't use it? They may
  20. I wish I could pin this message in every N-400 thread. Not sure how people still believe estimates after going through other steps with USCIS, NVC etc earlier in their journey.
  21. Whether you mail it on Friday or following Monday it won't make a difference. Evidence getting old is not a major concern. These cases lie on a shelf for 18-24 months before anyone looks at them. Good luck! It's quite a journey, but it's a just another step
