    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?
  9. OldUser
    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.

    Be careful with Boundless, similar services and notarios. They may impose their own rules and / or not meet actual USCIS requirements.
  12. OldUser
    This is normal

    Actually, I checked, according to the website https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ it takes under a year in most cities. But not unusual to take over a year, at least I saw it on VJ. US passport usually is sufficient proof of citizenship.

    No strict order, but it makes sense to get passport first. He cannot leave the US without US passport. N-600 can take years.
  15. OldUser
    He's not required, but it's highly recommended to get certificate to avoid any issues later in life. Yes

    If it's not serious, you don't get 7 years of sentence... You have to see things from a bit more objective perspective. $9k for such case is a very reasonable price. Regular cases can cost $5k to be filed by a lawyer.

    Congrats!

    Yep, EAD, GC or other proof of status such as valid I-94 (while on student visa, work visa) is needed to get driver license. Your EAD / AP got processed super fast, it must be a lucky exception. Even before COVID, my combo card took around 6 months. Fun fact, British call it "driving license", while Americans use "driver license"
  19. OldUser
    You could apply for license today if you had EAD in hand, otherwise you'd be waiting for GC. Also, each state tells you how long you can use your out of state driver's license to drive in the state. So after that time, driving with Canadian license won't be an option.
  20. OldUser
    Agreed, EADs take 3-9 months. It's rare to see EAD issued within a month of filing.

    I-485 required listing all citizenships. I can assure you of that as I was a dual citizen at the time (now have three citizenships). I also applied for LPR 6 years ago.... I'd consult with lawyer. This can be interpreted as misrepresentation, especially since you didn't list sanctioned country.
  22. OldUser
    Always follow official instructions by USCIS. UCIS (never used it) and AI give incorrect information.

    1) I wouldn't recommend working with paralegals. They often don't know what they're doing. Either learn everything yourself or hire a proper lawyer 2) Yes, scanned copy is OK, as long as it was signed by actual pen, not digitally.
  24. OldUser
    In short no, submitting both I-131 and I-765 doesn't make any process go any faster. However, if you plan getting work permit I-765 or Advance Parole I-131, then yes, applying sooner get your those documents sooner (hopefully).

    Anything from few weeks to over 2 years. 80% of cases are completed within 24.5 months for initial issuance or replacement 80% of cases are completed within 13 months for 10 GC renewals https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ But again, based on your complex immigration history, maybe you won't be able to renew GC? Have you consulted a lawyer before poking bear with a stick by filing new cases?
