  1. https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/permanent-workers/employment-based-immigration-fifth-preference-eb-5/about-the-eb-5-visa-classification this should explain the requirement, particularly the requirement for hiring US staff
  2. From my experience, join a company in your home country that has a branch in the US. Work in your home country for that company for at least a couple of years and then see about an intra-office transfer. It will be much easier than finding a US employer willing to then sponsor you. I have people working for me that do not have a bachelor’s degree but are here on a L1 based on length of service for the sponsoring company prior to coming here and their experience gained. good luck. I remember 30 years ago writing to companies all over the world looking to relocate before joining a UK based company and being transferred to many countries before coming here
  3. Benefit of the doubt: miss spelling on behalf of the OP?
  4. https://www.hmalegal.com/blawg/rfie-and-rfe#:~:text=Hence%2C RFIE means a request,found on the form instructions.
  5. If it were me I’d leave early, bring a book to read or listen to the radio while in the car park. I just drove to work at 7am this morning which should have taken 30 minutes but due to an accident on the beltway, my travel time was double the normal.
  6. Everything on your N400 journey has been asked by you and has been answered for you…try using Google
  7. No they didn't. If they did. I'd tell them I don't have it. Some countries retain expired passports when you apply for a new one.
  8. I applied for a passport and passport card first. Once in hand, I went to the SSA office with my passport / certificate (when I got my green card, I also went in and got an unrestricted card at that time) however I also wanted the SS office to be updated showing me as a US citizen. "This database is shared with all federal agencies and many state agencies further validating your US citizenship status with the federal and state governments. With your social security records updated showing you as a US citizen, it will be much easier in the future to apply for and receive all social security benefits entitled to you". Subsequent to updating the SS that you are now a citizen in their system, if you happen to lose your unrestricted card in the future, you can also apply for a replacement SS card online . Take passport to DPS and have them change their files - the benefit of changing status at the DPS is that the next time you need to renew your license, it can be done on line. Take your unrestricted SS card with you - just in case they want to scan it for their files. I don't believe I took my NC with me. https://www.votetexas.gov/register-to-vote/update-voter-registration.html
  9. What's the downside of sending in the information / documents now? If there is no downside other than postage then send it in. They may choose to ignore it or never match it with your application, then send you a RFE anyway. You need to resend the documents or they may choose to take it and you're walking along Lucky Street
  10. Irrespective of "bad info" or good info on a public forum, the choice of when to apply for N400 is for the individual applicant.
  11. After the ceremony, your spouse be given the necessary certificate required to apply for the passport. If you need your passport fast, then read this… https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/get-fast.html. And this https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/get-fast/passport-agencies.html
  12. What @NorthByNorthwest said…Spain will allow dual citizenship. On obtaining a second nationality, Spanish law requires that you declare your intent of retaining Spanish nationality and you only have a short window in which to do so. this is the internet, you will get differing opinions. Your best bet is to talk with a Spanish immigration lawyer in your former country to get the most up to date laws.
  13. If you entered the US without the intent to AOS, then legally you’re allowed to marry and file for AOS while you’re here. Others have already mentioned the con of this route. Staying and adjusting or going home and waiting out the K1/IR/CR process, ONLY you can decide which is best for you. good luck on your decision and on the rest of your journey.
  14. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/get-fast/passport-agencies/houston.html Details about emergency passports can be found here... Unless it's a life or death emergency that you must travel at the end of May, I wouldn't be postponing my oath as you do not know when the next one that you would be invited to would be. But that's just me...
  15. I saw - national dress - I did. - Casual trousers and polo shirt - Full suit
  16. If it makes you feel more secure then wait & you will have nothing to worry about. The end of June is only 10 weeks away. Besides the new fees are already in place so you're not saving money by filing now to filling then. If you decide to file now, then check USCIS processing times for your local office and note that 80% of cases are processed (interviewed) within that time. Then check this board for typical oath schedule post approval to calculate a typical total time to finish from application submission. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ If your local office is LA, then it's 7.5 months. But looking at your signature, you're still waiting on your welcome letter and green card so you're good
  17. Congratulations to your kids! Nothing to worry about with regards to online status - unless you're still in an immigration journey, it's best to forget about the USCIS from now. I just looked at my GC online status from back in 2017; I'm still scheduled for interview.
  18. Don't worry, you're almost there Average processing time for Houston is currently 8 months. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ What does this processing time mean? We generally process cases in the order we receive them. This processing time is based on how long it took us to complete 80% of adjudicated cases over the past six months. Each case is unique, and some cases may take longer than others. Processing times should be used as a reference point, not an absolute measure of how long your case will take to be completed
  19. But be careful how you word your lawsuit; if you file for a decision on your N400 you may force the USCIS to deny your N400 based on an ongoing I-751. And with the I-751 still within expected processing time.
  20. exactly....lots have changed, I'm older, grayer and grumpier
  21. It's a shame that you need to add a disclaimer in the event of triggering someone. You posted very reasonable thoughts
