  1. Worst case - call in sick. There will be many jobs, but only one oath ceremony to become a US citizen!
  2. Unless it's a life and death situation, why do you want to complicate life? As many data points suggest, if she applies for expedited passport, she should get it within few weeks here in the US. If it is an emergency, maybe it makes sense postponing oath and travelling on GC, unless you think the trip will be long? Follow the standard process to ensure smooth travel. Deviate from it - and you will either pay more, wait longer or both.
  3. Service request won't cut it. The procedure is to file I-90. I'm surprised this advice is coming from an immigration lawyer.
  4. I liked your recent guess about the term 😃:
  5. The smile was about the joke. A agree with your other statement. By the way I had a poll:
  6. Yes, I think I saw a prompt when doing change of address online with USPS.
  7. Risk 1. She can get stuck overseas due to slow processing times at embassy Risk 2. What if she loses certificate? She'd have very hard, expensive time restoring it. The law says she should travel on US passport, why break the law as the first thing after becoming a citizen?
  8. I wouldn't personally do it. Why risk it? You can visit for a month once or twice but take a long leave for 1+ year?
  9. I think you may need a waiver. See the thread:
  10. Sorry to hear about that. There may be many reasons why your interview got this notification. Maybe the office is busy or something urgent came up. However, unless you receive something in the mail, I'd still show up for the interview with original letter you got in the mail. Sometimes USCIS has glitches in their IT systems sending incorrect statuses and updates. You don't want to miss the interview because of that!
  11. I hope you're aware most of information you get from tier 1 officers at USCIS over phone is inaccurate, even made up?
  12. I'd check all paperwork you ever submitted to USCIS to know what all names been used in other applications.
  13. Always make sure to have copies of everything you submitted to USCIS. In this day and age anybody can store few megabytes of files on computer / in the cloud storage etc.
  14. These estimates, especially in My Progress tab are hugely inaccurate. They're just random numbers at this point.
  15. I think it occures when navigating from thread to thread too fast.
  16. Yes, I'm getting this error from time to time in the last few weeks now. I know workarounds, it's just a bit annoying
  17. Don't forget about voter registration when filing taxes with Turbotax, submitting change of address with USPS and many other places. That's a good reason to always pause, and read carefully every word before signing anything. It got to the point I take screenshots / photos of my answer NO for vote registration whenever I see it. Just to make sure I'm not accused of anything 😃
  18. This sounds like a law exam question 😃 Technically, if your kid permanently resides in the US and was on a temporary trip under 6 months, they should become a US citizen when you naturalize. You'd have to get them a US passport to come back. This is not a legal advice, I'm not 100% sure your kid is a US citizen, but most likely is
  19. It does look like an error on USCIS part. Make sure to act fast and get everything delivered to USCIS by March 10th ideally. You may need to file I-290B, attach all the evidence and response and craft the letter explaining the timeline of events and why they should reconsider.
  20. Sorry to hear about your story. The situation is very serious. It appears that you're out of status now. You may be already subject to a 3 or 10 year bar if you leave the US (confirm with a laywer). Since your I-130 was denied, I'm not even sure if you can just stay and adjust status by filing another AOS packet. The overstay is not forgiven for a spouse of LPR. You may need to fight USCIS decision, but it will be challenging. Others can help with answers. I don't think this is a DIY case.
  21. And if you did, were they disclosed?
