    Yes, if you are beneficiaries on brokerage / bank / retirement accounts, make sure to include evidence of this

    You have great evidence of bonafide marriage. Joint bank account is worth opening for reasons beyond immigration. In my family, it helped combining funds for paying off mortgage, car loans, utilities and other recurring expenses. It won't look fishy. Also, you can open free joint checking / HYSA accounts to keep emergency fund or save towards vacation or other goals. I hope you filed taxes jointly? In overwhelming majority of cases, joint filings make better financial sense for the family as you get bigger tax break. If this is the case, include joint IRS tax return transcripts in your I-751 packet. These are downloadable for free from IRS website.

    Before proceeding with I-290B, just know there is potential it may be denied in case if USCIS doesn't see this as their fault. You also don't get anything that would allow you to get EAD or reentry permit off when using I-290B. For the future, it's really in your interest to proactively monitor your case status using USCIS website or third party tracker. You can also sign up for free for USPS Informed Delivery and know when mail is heading your way. It's really easy to avoid problems you had, in 2025 with technology we have available. Good luck!

    Welcome back! Thank you for giving the update on your case. Many of the users on this thread most likely moved on with their immigrations and don't visit back often. Really happy there was a good end to your story!

    Fair enough, not every case needs an attorney. Good luck!

    Attorneys have a high demand now due to deportations etc. Those clients pay north of 5K and even above 10K to handle cases, so no wonder prices went up. My entire N-400 case cost me $4700 with all attorney and filing fees including interview attendance.

    This was my experience as of March 2025.

    They ask up to 10 questions (oral exam) and stop when you get 6 questions right. They also ask you to write a sentence on tablet There's no multiple choice style questions for oral exam. E.g. they don't say options to you. You need to give them answer yourself. For sentence, they tell you what to write.

    Sorry I looked at @P055UM comment about ROC 😅

    You cannot naturalize within 90 days early filing window, and typically USCIS won't schedule you for interview in this window. You also have a pending I-751 which slows things down. What's the processing time for your field office? https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

    I never registered for selective service for the same reasons (age). Was never asked about it during N-400 interview. Didn't have any papework about it. I'm a citizen now.

    What's weird is CR-1 filing AOS. AOS is not required when entering the US on immigrant visa. Are you talking about removal of conditions on 2 year GC, @LULA19?
  13. OldUser
    I'd just file a new case. I-290B is typically used when USCIS makes a mistake. Missing the interview is not a mistake by USCIS. What case are you talking about? CR1 does't need to do AOS, they're already a resident when entering the US on immigrant visa.

    I found OP's earlier thread If card expired in August 2023, then extension letter makes card valid until August 2027, you're right @Ani2

    Everybody files I-485 by mail. You should receive code to add case online in the mail, as far as I know.
  16. OldUser
    3 year rule or 5 year rule?
  17. OldUser
    Awesome! Good to go then
  18. OldUser
    Awesome! Good luck!
  19. OldUser
    Forms need to be not only filled, but also filed. Your case is borderline, I'd recommend finding joint sponsor who can help you if you get RFE.
  20. OldUser
    5 year rule will be easier in this regard. 3 year rule can be very strict when it comes to living together in marital union. Good luck!
  21. OldUser
    Yes. Why not file all the forms together on paper? That way they're all linked. I-485 etc cannot be filed online as of today. My lawyer filed all forms together when I adjusted status.

    Do you want a quicker approval or longer interview? Cmon, it's for yourself. N-400 under 3 year rule asks for bonafide marriage evidence. Good luck and keep us posted!
  24. OldUser
    Hi, is there any chance you can contribute to this thread about using passport card please?
  25. OldUser
    Uploading bonafide marriage evidence for N-400 under 3 year rule costs $0.
