I don't believe anybody is looking to change this. I was helping OP locating it.

Thank you for posting the update!

Active review is filler status. Some cases go from received to approved without any statuses in between. It's all down to laziness of person working on case, sometimes they don't click buttons to update status.

I'm sorry about your husband's situation. Many countries allow applying for second passport, even if initial one is still valid. Can he go this route?

I have exact same questions. Thank you for sharing @Dashinka

I got I-751 approved without interview. It does happen to many cases. You should not be worried at all about this.

They even have oaths on Federal Holidays. Somebody has oath on July 4th from what I read on VJ recently. I guess it's a bonus, you wouldn't need to take time off work Good luck!

Every case is unique... Oh wait, I said that already, sorry 😃

I would strongly advice not to bring a small baby to the interview. Not every officer likes kids. Especially if you filed under 3 year rule, there's still a chance of both spouses being interviewed. You don't want it to turn into stokes interview because of officer asking one parent to wait outside with the kid.

Hi @provec Here's my personal experience: You may want to browse this forum: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/161-us-citizenship-case-filing-and-progress-reports/ They way it's organized, typically by year and month of filing. You can even find folks who filed around same time as you and read their experience. Generally, folks post their interview experiences in their monthly thread. Good luck and post your experience too, after becoming a citizen!

No need to. But do you know why it was rejected and are you addressing this problem in new submission?

More than one spousal / fiance visa sponsorship per your lifetime can raise a reasonable suspicion. Cross-border marriages and visa sponsorships are seen as exceptional by US immigration based on my perception on how immigration works. Of course, if you sponsored somebody at age of 21, then they passed away and you're sponsoring somebody else at age of 60, that's different to sponsoring new immigrant within 5-10 years of sponsoring somebody else. Even when you sponsor later in life it may open another can of worms, such as: - Is US citizen sponsoring somebody for financial reward, since medical expenses etc increase as you get older? - Are they sponsoring a disguised caretaker (especially if immigrant 10+ years younger)? There's no 100% way of knowing what would happen. You may get more scrutiny, or you may not. It's a risk you and your new spouse may need to evaluate.

The biggest hurdle is convincing airline overseas you can be boarded on US bound flight. You can show them Carrier Guide. Once arrived, you may be placed into secondary. A valid ADIT stamp is typically good enough for CBP.

I understand you're stressed. However, it's better to have interview than be waiting, in my opinion. You have upper hand now. USCIS has 120 days from interview to decide on your case. On day 121 you can sue USCIS for decision. On the contrary, they have almost unlimited time to schedule you for interview.

For my I-751, none of the trackers could predict it accurately. It took 20.5 months instead of 7 months. For my N-400, I didn't use trackers. USCIS predicted 7 months, but it took about 3.5 months. On the day of my oath, USCIS MyProgress showed 3 weeks until decision. I don't believe trackers. Each case is individual.

No downside to listing. I even listed wine club membership in there, and museum membership. It had no effect whatsoever.

Tax return transcript is what you need. It really says it in PDF that you download from IRS website.

I would not trust them about status with Social Security Administration. I also checked the box on N-400, but after a month went to update my status to SSA as it wasn't happening. Here's the details:

NOAs can take 4-8 weeks. And then it can be real crickets for a year or more. Good luck!

It's OK each case is unique. I was ready to wait 6+ months for interview

Did you file online? My case also started with IOE9... I'm a citizen now. Case trackers are only picking paper filed cases I think.

Do you have a pending I-751?

Yes, bring as much fresh evidence you can. With utility companies and banks, you can just select paper statements so you don't have to spend time and money printing. In most cases, paper statement are free.

OP was last on Visa Journey on October 13, 2022. Don't expect an answer any time soon.
