  1. Congratulations, he won a lottery!!! So far only 16 out of 12717 January filers got approved. That's 0.001% 😅
  2. December 2024 filers stats as of 02/28/2025 @ 11:00 AM ET: Approved: 659 Denied: 4 Fingerprints Scheduled: 537 Interview Cancelled: 91 Interview Scheduled: 8085 Pending: 4 Processing: 18399 Received: 28 ResponseToRFE: 6 RFE: 60 Terminated: 2 Withdrawal: 11 OathCeremonyNotice: 350 OathCeremonyScheduled: 297 OathCeremonyReady: 1 Overall, few more approvals, more interviews scheduled etc.
  3. I'd think if APIs changed we wouldn't be getting any changes at all? Typically, it's all or nothing situation. Eitner you get data which we do or you don't. I think there may be change of priorities or reduction or staff... For example, I see slow but steady movement for December 2024 filers for N-400 . Only guessing here without solid proof.
  4. It hasn't been long since November 2024.... There's folks waiting from July-August 2024. Even that isn't too long frankly.
  5. You had reentry permits. You also resided continuously since 2020. If you apply in May or in June, you won't even need to list prior trips before May 2020. You'll be absolutely fine. If you doubt it, you can consult a lawyer.
  6. I-90 also costs money. N-400 has option to ask for fee reduction or fee waiver altogether. Employment / unemployment does not affect your naturalization process.
  7. His wife is not a priority then... it doesn't look like a bonafide marriage, sadly.
  8. He doesn't have to spend time. If they pay the lawyer, lawyer would put the case together for them. He does need to spend money though. So her fate, to a great degree, is being deported some time in the future. And pay a lot more to lawyers
  9. If you're not naturalized before April 2026, you need to file another I-90 to replace your GC. If your replacement I-90 is pending in April 2026, you'll never get replacement and you can forget about it. Replacement produces card with same expiration as lost GC. USCIS isn't going to issue card with new expiration. They won't issue card at all if it's last expiration of lost GC. So you'll need I-90 replacement at that point. What's holding you from filing N-400 today?
  10. That's pretty strange that a husband would not want his wife to legalize. Any reasonable spouse, if wanting to continue building joint life, would help their immigrant spouse to get the legal papers. Looks like a toxic relationship. Why is she staying married to this person? Without his cooperation, she has no protections.
  11. That's sad. I hope they weren't involved in any shady stuff?
  12. Sorry, are you a US citizen with fiance in Mexico? Why do you need a visa? It's visa free access for up to 180 days. If you're in Mexico and trying to get B1/B2, then you can try but don't be surprised if denied.
  13. Typically, Civil Surgeon will decide which vaccinations are required to complete DS-3025. In many cases missing vaccines will be administered at your medical exam appointment. You can call Civil Surgeon and discuss it.
  14. You can get I-551 stamps as long as you have I-90 case (replacement or renewal) or N-400 case pending. It becomes difficult to get I-551 stamp if you don't have any pending case with USCIS.
  15. You'd file I-90 for renewal once the time comes. But may be irrelevant if you naturalize before GC expires
  16. This is a mess. Once you get I-551 stamp, you should be able to replace SS card.
  17. No, you don't need physical GC to apply for naturalization. If you're ready and eligible, file today. You can upload I-90 receipt in additional evidence and explain you don't have physical GC since you lost it.
  18. You can get I-551 stamp with pending I-90 case. You don't have any other proof of status without this stamp. Extension letters won't matter if you don't have physical GC. Extension letters don't extend validity of I-551 stamp, which is only valid for 1 year and has to be obtained again and again until you get GC or naturalize.
  19. You can search for credible lawyers who are part of AILA here: https://www.ailalawyer.com/ This ensures the lawyer is a member of The American Immigration Lawyers Association
  20. I'm also thinking maybe some small percentage of newer cases (November 2024 AOS filers, N-400 December filers) are getting processed, then the rest put on pause to process older cases. E.g. USCIS takes small percentage of cases for relatively new filers, processes them fast to improve timeline stats, and switches back to address older cases. Just guessing
  21. December 2024 filers stats as of 02/27/2025 @ 1:10 PM ET: Approved: 649 Denied: 4 Fingerprints Scheduled: 548 Interview Cancelled: 91 Interview Scheduled: 8046 Pending: 4 Processing: 18452 Received: 28 ResponseToRFE: 6 RFE: 57 Terminated: 2 Withdrawal: 11 OathCeremonyNotice: 345 OathCeremonyScheduled: 290 OathCeremonyReady: 1
  22. You can call civil surgeon's office and ask what would happen. I don't remember exactly what I needed to complete my medical, but it was also 3-4 jabs. All issued within a span of seconds. I'm still alive. Medical didn't take any longer because of jabs. You can get some of them at CVS / Walgreens ahead of time too. Good luck!
