2 cases( 1 @ NVC, 1 @ USCIS)

[ChetT 9]

Here might be a bit long, but please stay with me. I am starting to get tired and headache now.

1- I am LPR. Filed I-130 for wife.

Priority Date: 03/30/2011.

I-130 approved 09/22/2011.

Paid AOS, sent DS-3023 04/02/2012.

Received IV Bill for $404 04/04/2012 (not paid yet). I am here at the moment.

2- I am LPR since 05/03/2012.

Filed N-400 for myself 03/02/2012. I took advantage of the 90 days before the 5 years period.

Received by USCIS 04/06/2012.

Fingerprint done 04/04/2012.

Here are the question.

I am at the stage of gathering my wife IV civil documents. The only thing I don't have is police certificate.

I have a relative come to U.S on 06/02/2012, so I can have her police certificate with my relative. BTW, Police Certificate in my country only valid for 3 months(called and verified).

- Should I paid $404 and send all IV application without Police certificate ? Then when I get my citizenship I can update my case status to immediate relative, along with police certificate? Would this complicate the case when I have missing doc (police certificate)? or what should I do ?

- If I have my N-400 interview before 06/01/2012, even if I pass, IO will put a hold on my application because I am not LPR for 5 years yet. Is it true?

If it is exactly 90 days prior to your years your application will be processed as normal. Once you become a citizen you simply send a letter to your processing center with you case#, wife's information, your information and a copy of your certificate and US passport requesting that your preference catergory be updated.

Regarding the bill I would just pay it and be done with it. For the police certificate I dont remember if I sent one with my husbands AOS application but I am leaning toward no I didnt and we did not get a RFE asking for one either.

Best of luck and I am fairly net to all of this so i hope the information I provided help some.
