You're supposed to file AR-11 within 10 days after move not before. But you did provide your new address there, right?

AR-11 is needed every time you change address as LPR. It's a requirement whether you file for N-400 or not.

I'm confused. Are you @leilabird? How are you a resident of 9 years if your GC should start in 2019?

Find a lawyer on https://www.ailalawyer.com/ You can file I-751 late if you have a good reason. Your reason should be fine as long as you can actually prove you had a bonafide marriage.

Depends whether this question is mandatory or optional. For example, from what I learned recently, it's optional when getting ESTA. Not sure about visa.

Good point, I'll consider this when applying for N-400 in the future!

Sometimes text message never comes. Either it's a problem on USCIS side or carriers block it as suspicious message etc.

Depends on how busy the court is.

OP most likely doesn't have income in the US, hence the question about joint sponsor.

Whoever is naturalizing needs to use their own account. For N-400 the LPR is both petitioner and beneficiary. Same as I-751. The only forms US citizen had to file were I-129F / I-130 and I-864. That's as far as I remember. That typically occurs at the very beginning of immigration journey. After getting GC, immigrant is the one responsible for their forms etc, which means they use their account.

But it doesn't help WAVA case? I wouldn't be surprised if IO asks a question why you're still married to the abuser?

Was USCIS aware of it? Looks like they sent notices to old address.

What about address questions I asked? Did you move?

I'm sorry you're going through this. In USCIS's twisted logic, the interview invitation was sent, your daughter never showed up for it and now it's being rescheduled. Has she changed addresses since filing N-600? Any other mail delivered to that address OK?

Did you have biometrics reused or appointment? That's typically most you get in 1 year after filing. Approvals / RFEs begin at 18-24 months mark after filing I-751

Important note: you have to actually file taxes each year, list and exclude foreign income. Meaning you won't be paying them if within the limit, but reporting for sure. But as LPR you'd be doing the same until you lose the status (tylically by filing I-407) Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Good guess. Many US citizens apparently complete and file the N-400 forms for their LPR spouses. To me this is surprising, as the immigrant is supposed to be able to complete their own application since they're the ones naturalizing. I think you may be right about this.

I remember that thread. The case was more complex than yours. To be 100% safe you can file on 3 year anniversary of coming back from 4 months break.

I would like to discuss pros and cons of all payment methods one can use to pay USCIS fees. Here's my view and understanding so far. Credit Card Pros: - Can earn miles / points / cashback - Can spread the payments (think of 0% APR intro + 10% effective cashback in the first year etc) - You know when USCIS charges it Cons: - Requires a credit history and card - Payment can be easily denied due to suspicious charge (yes, USCIS fees can be viewed as suspicious by bank IT systems) or hitting the limit. USCIS won't retry charging it. Personal Check Pros: - Money stays in your account for longer. Can earn some interest on it - You know exactly when it was cashed - Sometimes USCIS write / stamp case number as they endorse the check. You may learn case number before you receive text message / mail / update. More relevant for forms like I-485 which can only be filed on paper as of today. Cons: - Requires checking account - Requires discipline from person paying, e.g. maintaining the right balance to cover all payments and USCIS fees. - Requires knowledge how to use it 😃 - Doesn't earn rewards Cashier's Check Pros: - The fees are going to be covered for sure, since the amount is already withdrawn from bank account Cons: - Can be difficult or impossible to cancel, recover funds if lost or other reason - Sometimes costs money (depending on bank and bank account) - Not possible to know when cashed (correct if I'm wrong) - Doesn't earn rewards Money Order Pros: - Can be purchased at USPS and other places. Doesn't require bank account. - Guarantees funds to cover fees Cons: - Costs money - Depending on issuer, may be able to track / cancel etc but not always - Doesn't earn rewards Questions for you: 1. Did I miss any payment methods? 2. Did I miss any pros or cons for any payment method? 3. What other payment methods you wish USCIS accepted? (crypto, financing, Zelle, Venmo, Paypal, wire, etc etc) 4. What's your preferred payment method and why? 4a. If you prefer credit cards, is it because of rewards or is it because you can pay over time? Or is it because you never wrote a check? 4b. If you prefer personal check, is it because you don't have credit card? Or is it because you're worried payment may get denied? Or is it because you used to write checks? Or is it because you want to have money in account for longer? 4d. If you you prefer cashier's check, is it because you're worried your balance may not cover the fees? Any other reason? 4e. If you prefer money order, is it because you don't have a checking account? Is it because you're worried your balance may not covet the fees? Any other reason? Please do not walk by this thread, I'd love to see a good discussion 😊

Imagine you got a stokes interview asking this question: "Which side of the bed do you sleep on?" What would be your answer?

Just curious to see what beverage is more popular among all of us

Wanted to ask this question as I see more and more threads referring to the term "neutralization", when filing form N-400.
