    This only talks about eligibility for naturalization. My assumption is applicants are not scheduled for the interview before they're eligible (otherwise what's there to review) but I don't have it anywhere in writing.

    D. 90-Day Early Filing Provision (INA 334) An applicant filing under the general naturalization provision may file his or her application up to 90 days before he or she would first meet the required 5-year period of continuous residence as an LPR.[14] Although an applicant may file early according to the 90 day early filing provision, the applicant is not eligible for naturalization until he or she has reached the required five-year period of continuous residence as a lawful permanent resident (LPR). https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-6

    You can, it's not the best path but people do it.

    How did you enter the US before getting GC? On visa or ESTA?

    It jumps up and down, but trust me, adding evidence doesn't change anything in reality. The truth is, nobody is looking at the case for months. It's sitting in the queue and can be updated with new evidence as much as you want. The whole review by human takes 20 mins after a long wait.

    It is completely useless. You can roll a dice and get a better prediction. It's wrong across the board, not just for I-130. People get naturalized and their estimate shows 5 months to decision on the day of oath.

    Those are random numbers. You can roll a dice and get a more accurate prediction.

    Roll a dice and you'll get a better estimate. Those numbers are largely inaccurate across the board: from spousal visas to N-400.

    I don't believe in these numbers. You can roll a dice and get a better estimate. Jumps from few days to several months and back are fairly common based on regular VJ reports.

    The timelime is a random number. Throw a dice and you'll have a better prediction of how long you got left to decision.

    In some cases for a year or more.
  12. OldUser
    Still? It's only been 2 months or less? Typically naturalization takes close to a year, but this year is a little faster, down to 4-6 months. 2 months is very reasonable to have no news.

    I don't think there's much you can do, other than apply from another country if eligible.

    You're getting divorced. 3 year rule is not an option. You have to be married on the day of oath to naturalize under 3 year rule. Plus you don't have a reason to file under it since you're a resident of 5+ years.

    While it may work and it's worth trying, not all the banks have the abiltity to override the AI driven fraud detection algorithm. Somerimes they'll say they put a note in the system only to have charge declined. The safest bet is to avoid card payments for USCIS fees.

    It may be too late, some divorces take longer than I-751. If OP was 2 months into I-751, that would be another story. Either way, I have nothing else to add other than good wishes to OP.

    You said one can notify about divorce during the interview - but there's great chance there would be no interview if USCIS doesn't know about divorce. Notifying when divorce is finalized may be too late. IMHO it's much better to get I-751 denied for not replying to RFE in time and refile VS get GC approved on the basis of joint filing when divorcing / divorced. That could be flagged as immigration fraud staining the record, making it even harder to get ROC approved. If I was in OP's position, I'd consult with family and immigration lawyers to plan for ROC solo.

    If one does not tell about divorce, GC maybe approved on the wrong premise of jont filing. Remember very few I-751 now have interviews! The right approach is finalizing divorce ASAP and notifying USCIS as soon as you're sure you can get hands on final divorce decree.
  19. OldUser
    No, and you cannot be expected to have other person's BC after divorce.
  20. OldUser
    I doubt that's OP's intention because naturalization was mentioned. @US2UK you should focus on divorce and I-751. Gather and make copies of all evidence as @A110 outlined. If you have solid evidence, you can convert I-751 to divorce waiver and remove conditions based on that. You'd be naturalizing under 5 year rule of being LPR when the time comes. I wouldn't worry about it just yet, you have to get conditions removed first.

    Lying to government agency is never a good idea. What's even advantage of filing single and not checking the right box? You don't gain anything other than having to amend it...

    Congratulations! You will get USPS tracking number in USCIS status once the GC is shipped. However, if you use USPS Informed Delivery, you may see package from Lee's Summit Production Facility - that's GC. It may show up few days earlier than USCIS status.
  23. OldUser
    There's nothing to do. US citizen can switch jobs any time.

    In reality no tracker app can give you correct estimate of when your case is going to be decided. There's way too many variables for that and too much human factor. USCIS often changes priorities, speeding up processing some cases and slowing down others. Plus each case is unique. My friend submitted petition 2 weeks later than me but got approved about 5 months earlier. Both cases went to the same service center. We have pretty much the same story as to how and when we entered the US. We live in the same city, same nationality, about same age, same occupation. In my opinion these apps are not worth paying for. There are free ones plus websites showing stats for hundreds of cases - those may be somewhat useful.

    Glad you waited for it and it wasn't long! Thank you for the update and good luck! Hopefully you won't be using credit card to pay?
