Congratulations! So, when have you sent RFE back? Do you think they have processed RFE or I89approved worked?

Quick? Oh, you mean after he sent the RFE?

His biometrics was July 2007.

Israel0218, did you file for citizenship yet?

my biometrics are from July 07, then there was no contact for like 11 months other then the case was transferred to CSC, then the RFE asking for more evidence, mid of last month, and yesterday that my new card was ordered.

I have not applied for citizenship, i think i need to be a legal resident for at least 5 years and i have only been 3, and i am still thinking about doing it or not.

What real benefits do i get from being a citizen?

As an adjustee based on marriage to a USC, we need only 3 years of residency provided we are still married, including our conditional period. Some people apply for citizenship even before their removal of conditions is approved. I think the interview for citizenship can cover the removal of conditions.

Benefits? There should be plenty.

I'm interested in some jobs that require citizenship.

And a GC, even a permanent one, can still be taken away by the USCIS (on very serious grounds, I suppose).

There are things that are considered a "privilege" for GC holders, but are "rights" for a USC.

Your GC can also be revoked if you leave the country for a certain perod of time (6 months?).

I also read somewhere that if a LPR gets involved in a crime, they can be denied citizenship. We always think that since we have been law abiding people, these things will never happen to us, but you never know what cards fate will deal. Better to seal the deal as early as possible.

Oh, and the most important thing : with the way USCIS is inreasing their fees, you will save a lot of money if you file now.

That is the point-about crimes. In some states DUI is a serious crime which can have bad concequences if you are PR.

That scared enough my girlfriend to apply for citizenship as as possible. Since in this country, you need to drive even if you dont want to-big problem with taxi and public transportation. Some of my friends now ate taking hotels on Fri nights (never mind the fine-they can afford it but legal ramifications of DUI are pain in the btt)

So, they have probably just processed your RFE and that NOA with approvedI89 meant something else. Like Katryne41 said, probably means some internal step was approved.

I sent the info on June 13th and received on June 20th, they approved it on July 9th.
