    I see no reason not to apply. 5 year rule is easier, sure. But 3 year rule is doable. Did you or do you have I-751?
  2. OldUser
    Based on what you described, you should be eligible to apply under 3 year rule. Few clarifying questions: - How's the marriage? - Do you live together? - Any issues with this marriage in the past? - Did you have issues getting GC? - How much bonafide marriage evidence do you have? - Did you show this calculation to lawyer? What did they say to your argument you only need about 547 days inside (not sure about the number myself) - Did you consult with a different lawyer? What did they say?

    You can either get: - Combo interview for both I-751 and N-400 - Two separate interviews for I-751 and N-400 - Get only N-400 interview with I-751 being decided without interview The estimated times is largely inaccurate, just like I-751 processing times.

    I'm not sure whether you violated a law or not, but I think nobody can make any notes or stamps in your passport other than CBP / immigration in various countries. Airlines cannot put any stamps or notes in your passport. As far as I know, neither they have a right to do this, nor your passport would be valid after unauthorized stamps etc.

    This is similar to extension letter produced during removal of conditions. You can read about experiences here: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/632906-traveling-on-extension-letter/

    Is there anybody who had an accurate estimate? I feel like these numbers don't mean a thing

    This is risky in your situation. You can formally give up LPR status by filing I-407 and then get a GC again. By the way, did you remember filing US taxes all this time? There's always a chance you won't get WVP / visa after giving up GC.

    You can come back to the US on GC. As long as you don't travel for at least a year after returning back in the US and none of your trips are 6 months or longer in the future, you will be able to naturalize in the US under 4 year and 1 day rule.

    Did she do a full medical exam with a civil surgeon? https://www.uscis.gov/tools/find-a-civil-surgeon

    Same happened to me. I could see tracking number in Informed Delivery before USCIS updated tracking on their website 😃

    Tax return transcripts for the past 5 years. Any marriage / divorce certificates / birth certificates for children.

    Sadly, purchasing a car involves most inevitably, writing check. Same goes for any home repairs, services etc. Though many contractors now can take credit card (but charge a fee for that). Otherwise I'm a team CC myself 😃

    No it's not possible. It might be cheaper to change plans, come, marry and file earlier?

    What basis are you applying on? Marriage to US citizen (3 year rule) OR Being a permanent resident for 5 years?
  16. OldUser
    The screenshot begins with "This is in reference to the I-485..." I see what you mean. Essentially, it says OP is not eligible to adjust. Meaning they're not trying adjusting based on marriage to US citizen. Maybe they came on a different type of visa and trying to adjust through marriage to GC holder or US citizen parent / sibling? Then it's a wrong forum for sure. Or... did they just not marry their fiance yet??? @Gurita are you married to a US citizen?
  17. OldUser
    Not visa. As far as I can tell, OP is adjusting status from K1.

    Meaning Last Name is used interchagably in the documentation. At my AOS interview the officer used "Last name" too, and not "Family name" as far as I remember. Either way... Interesting observarion about GC, passport etc using Surname.

    I heard Netherlands is somewhat strict on multiple / dual citizenship. Plus if travelling to Netherlands as a citizen, they may require entering the country on their passport (similar to US and US citizens entering the US). It's definitely something OP needs to investigate, potentially with a lawyer in Netherlands. Travelling to a third country - sure, I'd just travel on US passport for simplicity. Unless Dutch passport has some better benefits at a particular destination. For example, travelling to EU is going to require eTA soon. But OP won't need to do it as a EU citizen.

    In your case I would put the maiden name and keep using it. Mismatching names on GC and passport are not the worst thing, and could be explained by carrying a copy of marriage certificate when you travel, but would you want to do it? If you naturalize in the US and that means losing Netherlands citizenship (not an expert on laws of your country), then change name an N-400 stage. If you'd be keeping Netherlands citizenship (you can and you want) then keep name consistent on both docs and don't change name.

    Majority of US immigration forms list Last Name. See example of current N-400 form. On a contrary, I haven't seen Surname used often (if at all) on US immigration forms.

    I'm sure majority of people using wheelchair due to disability would not be approved for this. OP is extremely optimistic. I tend to agree this seems like a waste of time and resources. To OP: please make all the effort to show up in person if you can. Sorry about the leg. Don't risk getting AOS denied / severely denied due to this.

    Never doubted your marriage, just in general N-400 under 3 year rule has a higher bar compared to regular 5 year rule case. You can certainly apply, and if you manage to maintain physical presence, you'll be totally fine. Good luck and let us know how it goes!
  24. OldUser
    As far as I know, you need to meet all criteria at the time of oath to be elibigle for naturalization: - Physical presence - Continuous residence - Good moral character - Still married to US citizen and living in marital union etc etc It seems to me you're trying to use 3 year rule which is generally more complex and requires more evidence etc to compensate for spending too much time outside of the US. Even when applying under this rule, you should add few months of presence. Build an easy case for an officer to approve.
