  1. Yes, I'd put the current address.
  2. This is generic. What do you think is holding your case? Do you have pending I-751? Where you ever married back in Nigeria? Did you seek an asylum in the US? Did you commit any crimes?
  3. AFAIK immediate relative still can be hit with misrepresentation, which makes them inadmissible? Then the whole I-601 comes into play.
  4. USCIS number is the same as alien number. It's printed on your GC. USCIS number is not the same as USCIS online account.
  5. You're not a permanent resident until GC is approved. Have you filed for EAD and Advance Parole? This is what you could have used in the interim, while I-485 is pending.
  6. Yes, she won't be approved for citizenship under 3 year rule, given the divorce. She'd have to re-apply under 5 year rule herself.
  7. According to this website https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2023/visa-bulletin-for-september-2023.html: "individuals seeking to file applications for adjustment of status with USCIS must use the “Final Action Dates” charts below for determining when they can file such applications. " She should be under F2A category. According to table on the website, she cannot adjust her status, because the backlog is several years. I'd recommend CR-1
  8. Were you married to your second ex at the time the first ex was still alive?
  9. Did your parents say they're coming for 2 months?
  10. Do you mean a crewmember (D) visa? What's the purpose of his visit? If it's not related to work on a vessel, he should not use it.
  11. Get new AOS filed. Withdraw old petition by writing to USCIS. Expect scrutiny. Best not to do on your own as @Crazy Cat mentioned.
  12. Did you know your current spouse before you met your ex US citizen spouse who sponsored you for GC? This may be an issue in the process. AOS may not work depending on visa bulletin (you're not a US citizen) and visa rules itself.
  13. Congratulations! Now if your plan is to naturalize, your clock likely was reset so you have to count 5 years from the date you returned back to the US. I would also not travel outside of the US for a while to allow dust to settle.
  14. You can create a new account if you need it. If it's asking for alien number, that's number on your Green Card.
  15. File WoM on I-751, get decision on it and this will likely unblock N-400.
  16. How did you get the first work authorization? Through employer? EAD through AOS by marriage is different application. When you file AOS as a packet (I-130, I-130A, I-485, I-131, I-765, I-864) - you don't need to include separate payment for EAD (I-765). You also don't need to pay for I-131.
  17. Well if you don't get re-entry permit for whatever reason, you'd have to stay in the US until you naturalize and hope USCIS won't start removal proceedings. Or you could travel with great chance you will be stopped by CBP and given NTA. Either way, I don't think you can expect the same flexible, risk-free travel as you had before. Being out of the US for too long as an LPR can have negative consequences.
  18. Enjoying 10 year GC benefits early? Haha, wouldn't blame you. Far better travel experience compared to expired conditional GC + extension letter.
  19. 1. You should file I-131 after you successfully enter US. I wouldn't file it now. 2. You have to be direct and truthful in any immigration paperwork. If you were out for 3-4 years you need to say 3-4 years. If you were out for over 4 years, check that box. Note the following wording in part 9: "I certify, under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America, that this application and the evidence submitted with it is all true and correct. I authorize the release of any information from my records that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services needs to determine eligibility for the benefit I am seeking." If you lie, you can get in a big trouble.
  20. Probably because of divorce soon after I-751 approval. Perhaps IO needed additional approval from their management. Or maybe just needed more time to check the case thoroughly.
  21. Just make sure to use "I-751" (not 1751 etc) when referring to your case in communication with USCIS, congressman. Simple typo sometimes leads them to scratch their head.
  22. Talk to somebody at USPS post office in person if you get a chance, e.g. give them a heads up. Didn't help my case (they ignored everything I asked for) but maybe they'll be more helpful and won't misplace your card.
  23. You can try everything. It won't hurt, but WoM is the most effective method as of today.
