I didn't know that it was even possible and have never heard of anyone doing it

You have to apply for removal of conditions 90 days prior to the 2 year green card's expiration. Then in another year she can apply for naturalization. After she has the naturalization certificate, she can apply for a passport.

No it won't.

File under married name. It doesn't need to match your passport. Get a new passport at your leisure. My wife is waiting until hers expires to get one in her married name.

both

I would imagine it would serve to show one's nationality?...

Right but in what situation would that information be useful? A greencard isn't meant to be proof of anything but your LPR status. I suppose you could make the same argument about country of birth appearing though...

It isn't listed because it would serve no purpose. What situation are you imagining that it would?

i wouldn't weigh too heavily on the online case status. my guess it is already approved and you will receive the combo ead/ap card.

tracking should show up on the uscis case status tool. it took a few days after that email for it to show up for me. i can't remember if I received another case status email regarding tracking.

note i am speaking from my experience with roc, not an ead but i would imagine the experience is the same now. when i received ead years ago, tracking was not available online.

also i think you can call customer service to get a #.

I never did the separate sheet thing and left the date of departure and trip length blank--no problems.

Card received 6/14

It was in regard to your earlier post about about getting paid, yes one would get paid without ssn companies normally will adjust it afterwards.

Really? That hasn't been my experience. A good number of my friends were hired on TN visas and didn't have SSNs when they started work and they've always been told they won't get paid until they do. I guess it varies by company.

Not completely true, most companies would allow person to start working and they expect that one would receive a SSN in few weeks.

They would than go ahead and update the SSN number for the person.

Yes that's correct but I assumed that much was common sense.

EAD will get you a SSN.

Also you can apply and accept for jobs w/o an SSN, however, you will not get paid w/o one.

TD is not valid for work, she would need her own work visa.

Not sure about applying for a TN while in the US.

EDIT: I think the prospective employer can apply by mail by filing I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker

For petitioners filing on behalf of an alien to come to the United States temporarily to perform services or labor, or to receive training, as an H-1B, H-1C, H-2A, H-2B, H-3, L-1, O-1, O-2, P-1, P-1S, P-2, P-2S, P-3, P-3S, Q-1 or R-1 nonimmigrant worker. Petitioners may also use this form to request an extension of stay in or change of status to E-1, E-2, E-3, H-1B1 or TN, or one of the above classifications for an alien.

Great news for you both!!! You guys are immigration-free for 10 years!!! Congrats!!!

Hmm I'm not sure about that.. I think Katrina is going to apply for citizenship, although I'm not sure if she wants to do it ASAP or not, I think she was mostly concerned about voting in the next federal election. But a break until 10/14 at least

I've always used USPS priority mail w/ delivery confirmation

yes.. eventually anyway

i didn't and was approved.. no divorce decrees in my case though

Finally got the email today that card production was ordered.

Finally got the email today that card production was ordered!

I wonder if the CSC delay is related to the fact that they show that they are processing applications from August 25, 2012 right now.

1) About a week

2) No idea

3) Not ideal. You'd have to send the form + payment, then wait for an RFE to mail in the supporting documents.

Why did you wait so long? You could have filed 2 months ago.

If you don't have your documents together now and can't get them sorted out in a day or so, *I* would send in the form + payment and whatever documents I had. At least you'll get an extension letter and be in status that way. Do not mail your supporting documents without the RFE notice or they will likely not be linked to your application.
