The ROC(LOC) is taking ridiculously long right now, it is pushing the 1 year mark for many people and yes, that means she is eligible for citizenship. Just FYI she can get another extension or the local office can put a stamp in her passport if need be and she CAN get citizenship without ever getting the 10 year green card. Several people have had that happen. It is required that they have a VALID green card to apply for citizenship, but the expired green card and the extension count as a "valid green card" If that happens, Jim, apply for her citizenship as planned and include a copy of her green card and the extension letter or passport stamp

ROC gets low priority because it is not granting any benefit, per se. The extension letter allows them to travel and work.

Jim, you are spot on that you HAVE TO give up on this nervous-jervis condition in this process. And Ron, seriously, I do not know about your fiancee but my wife would find that SOOOOOOOOO troubling if I was as worried as you always seem to be. I am not kidding. Alla gets nervous about stuff, and expects me to be cool and relaxed and if I was not, holy smokes! And if I did it all the time she would figure I was not really a man. Just send off your stuff and forget about it until you hear from them or you will go batsh*t crazy. Believe me, I was so glad to be rid of it when they take the oath of citizenship!

But also believe me, I NEVER checked the status of our case at any point for any reason nor called anyone. I just told Alla "I will let you know when it is approved" In the meantime I went there several times and collected documents for the interview, visited her and she was fine because everything was going as it should and we were working on things together. Then I came back and was working on the house, she was choosing ceramic tile via cell phone pics, I was going to school meetings to set up things for her and Pasha and keeping her up on that stuff. She just really never asked about the petition or anything else. Even after she had the visa we took another month for her to finish up business there before coming here and to make final arrangements here.

One thing, Ron, everything is going to be OK. This week, next week, 3 weeks, 8 weeks...it will be OK and after she arrives you forget all that. This is a lifetime commitment, not a dinner date. 1,2 or 8 weeks means nothing. It is a long road and the visa is the beginning, not the end. Try not to worry and get nervous.

can i get dos num?
