  1. Ok, how much evidence of bonafide marriage did you submit with your N-400? I know you provided some for I-751, and it got approved, but USCIS is within their rights to see more evidence since I-751 filing etc for the purposes of N-400, because it's filed under 3 year rule. Everything is a fair play until you take your oath and have certificate of naturalization in hand.
  2. Did you file N-400 under 3 or 5 year rule?
  3. Where are you going to stay? If you have a hotel etc you can provide their contact details.
  4. I suspect it's a question about people in the US OP knows. Screenshot would be helpful though.
  5. No, it shouldn't be a problem. You can always explain it to the officer, saying you weren't aware of requirement to file, and once you learned you filed taxes for 2018.
  6. Even if you were a LPR for 1 day in 2018, you needed to file taxes for 2018. I believe you can still file it. I also believe you may have exclusions for your income for the part of the year you weren't a LPR.
  7. Also @MunnoTheCat please explain how you came to conclusion that I said OP's case was delayed because of fraud etc? I've only said that it takes a trained officer to conduct combo interview, and this could possibly explain the delay. However, there may be many other reasons why it is delayed, and not necessarily because of the case itself.
  8. I was answering subsequent set of questions: Not sure how fear is created, highlighting the word "only" in my reply, I think it's important: @Mike E @Crazy Cat may have better data points, but this article from allegedly former USCIS officer explains that not everybody is trained equal at USCIS. And I tend to believe it. Did you ever have somebody at DMV / SSA asking their manager to intervene because they don't know what to do?
  9. I believe you're should be able to get visa. I don't have personal experience. ESD may know better.
  10. You may have a problem boarding the plane back to the US, even though you're supposed to be boarded. Are you going to file I-90 / I-751 (whichever applies) before leaving?
  11. Yes, both LPR seeking naturalization and US citizen should attend. US citizen will likely not be allowed for N-400, but may be asked to join I-751. It only gets tough or tricky if IO suspects immigration fraud or questions the marriage.
  12. This also requires IO who knows how to conduct marriage based N-400. Especially if you have pending I-751.
  13. Apply for ESTA. If denied, apply for visit visa. You must disclose your criminal record in relevant questions on the forms.
  14. I think it all depends on how badly you want to naturalize.
  15. I always ask lawyers to send me a draft before submission. Then I review everything, correct mistakes if any and ask questions if any. One is always responsible for petition, whether filing DIY or with a lawyer.
  16. Luckily, I never received an RFE because I hired a good, credible lawyer. I think it's always best to ask lawyer the question "who pays for RFE?" before hiring. A good lawyer would not charge for their own mistakes.
  17. You can always try applying, but chance of approval is pretty low. You can meet elsewhere in the world.
  18. Not every case gets biometric reuse. By default, everybody should do biometrics, but then many get it reused. Reusing biometrics was also related to COVID. I wonder if they're asking more people to come to the appointment now.
  19. Is this for N-400? I'm confused. I thought your I-751 is pending for a while.
  20. Hard to tell without looking at code for app. But if all they do is pull case status and show on the graph, there's not much room for error.
  21. Where did you read it? How can this be done? Case status doesn't require username and password, meaning anybody can read it. All theae apps rely on publicly available information.
  22. Same as 420 issue in US immigration. Just because marijuana is legal in a particular state doesn't mean it's not a problem for somebody trying to get an immigration benefit.
  23. I think the situation is not very simple for that young man. Ultimately, I think father wants to petition for mother too. Jim was simply being a laywer, trying not to give quick advice with big consequences. It's likely filing for passport also would have raised more questions about father and his marriages and there wouldn't be guarantee of quick successful resolution.
