Tammi,

My wife is currently on her 2nd green card. (10 yr one) Some of her G/F's have told her that the USCIS sends you a letter telling that they are elegible for citizenship. I am under the impression that we just file the N-400 to get the ball rolling.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Are there two USCIS's? Wish there was, the one I have been dealing with doesn't do anything even if they lose your paperwork, so if nothing happens, and time goes by to the expiration date, you end up crying for an infopass appointment so your spouse doesn't get deported or lose her job.

Our state does sent us printed forms for driver's license and license plate renewal, makes it easy, but they are getting 30 and 55 bucks respectively. Sure get that property tax bill in from the county, like clockwork, the IRS loads up my mailbox once a year. USCIS works a bit differently, have to fill out tons of forms where the questions don't even make sense, send all kinds of proof that with the N-400 you have to search on the net exactly what they want, print out 68 page manuals, double and triple check your application as if you make an error, your application will be rejected and your fee will be lost. Send that in with a nice big fat check, and wait. If you don't hear anything, then you start to pester them getting all kinds of different answers. If you forget to send in your I-751, that is your though luck. They don't make it easy.

How would this be for the USCIS, you call them and briefly describe what you want to do, like marry a foreigner, they send you a specific sheet of what proof they want, you go into a field office with a very nice officer that asks you all the questions and fills out the forms for you. Tells you nicely whatever else you need and you pay the fee. You go home and wait a couple of weeks for all the documentation to bring your spouse here, go in for a second appointment with your spouse, ask a few more questions, take the biometrics, send you home, and in two weeks you get that green card. And you don't have to hire an immigration attorney.

Well I can dream, can't I?
