  1. Give it a week or two. Letters are much slower than status updates.
  2. @Maria P. 1. Totally a glitch. Check status using https://egov.uscis.gov/ 2. No 3. Yes, did you at least submit copy of I-751 receipt?
  3. Fingers crossed! I think everybody had AOS interview back in the days.
  4. Luckily not. But I had AOS interview. No RFEs either. WAC.
  5. I'm a November 2021 filer. Just got approved 😃
  6. That's nice This could have been done as a permanent resident (even conditional, just a note for others). Congrats on becoming a US citizen!
  7. Update: Hold Mail worked for I-797C (copy or approval notice). Once I receive original notice from the lawyer I will post the final update to provide closure. Filing AR-11 and asking spouse to file I-865 early next week.
  8. Black tuxedos with bow ties for men and off-white ball dressess for ladies. Shiny shoes. 😃
  9. You should attend the appointment. Not everybody gets AOS fingerprints reused. Some people get randomly selected to submit fingerprints again. It's totally normal. Nothing to worry about unless you've commited a crime.
  10. My answer remains the same, especially now that we know the divorce was already filed.
  11. You won't start green card process from the beginning. You won't even start removal of conditions process from the beginning. You will convert existing petition to divorce waiver. I'm just saying what you're hoping to do is risky and sometimes causes major headackes later, when you naturalize.
  12. Staying married for immigration benefit is bad, on borderline of fraud. If you need to divorce, you need to divorce. Don't wait for joint petition to be approved and divorce right after. That can cause issues at N-400 stage.
  13. Can you check case status outside of your account, e.g. using https://egov.uscis.gov/ ? I wouldn't worry about this, it is a IT systems glitch / bug.
  14. My suggestion: be ready for combo I-751 and N-400 and bring your spouse with you. Bring updated bonafide marriage evidence. Sometimes status for cases is not 100% accurate.
  15. Yes, any of these options are valid. Give one unless asked to list all.
  16. @ability what's the Resident Since date on your Green Card? Are you sure you're eligible for N-400 as of today? Why are you trying to naturalize under 319(b)? Seems like you made a mistake somewhere.
  17. It's not related to your interview. Processing times are for all cases, not just yours. Seems like your field office got busier, that's all.
  18. My opinion only: you should have notified USCIS about divorce sometime after filing. They approved your I-751 on the wrong premise, thinking you're still married. Would they know about divorce, they could've invited you to an interview to ask more questions. If they denied you due to divorce decree not being provided - you could've refiled I-751 immediately, get RFE may months later and reply with divorce decree after everything is finalized. Yes, you're applying under 5 year rule. But USCIS IO can review your entire immigration history at that point and have more questions about divorce. Please update us when you go through this.
  19. Best to change her name during N-400. Or it was good during AOS. But not ideal when she's about to gk through ROC.
  20. Yes, she'll have to carry it as long as name in her passport is different to name on GC for example
  21. No it won't be a problem with USCIS. Just requires a lot of name changes everywhere else: SSA, foreign passport, DLs. And if there's mismatch in name, she'd have to carry proof of name change to show to airlines, foreign countries' officials, CBP. It's much simpler to complete AOS, removal of conditions etc in maiden name and change it to married during naturalization (my opinion only). Either she has to go through this now if really wants or during N-400. Between those two (I-751 etc) I wouldn't recommend. Overall, it's totally doable and many people done it on VJ.
  22. The easiest solution is to change name when she files for N-400. Otherwise she can do it now. Will likely have to update other docs to match it or carry marriage certificate, for example, if passport name is different to name on GC.
  23. I'll add if you let me: Nothing good is happening if the first marriage was fraudulent.
