Hi. Can I file for citizenship in August? My extension letter will expire in September 19, 2017. Can I apply without stamp in my passport or without ten years green card? I think I can only make an infopass appointment two weeks ago before the expiry date of extension letter.

The date on the extension letter is irrelevant to the expiry of the one year extension, as it is simply the date it was printed or sent by USCIS. The letter adds one year to the expiry date on your 2yr GC, so make sure you are not confusing the two dates.

 

 

 

You can work out the date you are eligible to file your N-400 for citizenship from, as follows:

 

Note the 'resident since' date on your 2yr GC. 

Add three years to that date (or five years, if no longer 'living in marital union' with the person that petitioned for your permanent residency). 

Subtract exactly 90 days from that date.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes you can file your N-400 without having a stamp in your passport, without your 10yr GC, and while your I-751 is still pending.

CR1 / DCF (London): 2012 / 2013 (4 months from I-130 petition to visa in hand)

I-751 #1- April 2015 [Denied]

 

April 2015 : I-751 Joint filing package sent fedex next day 09:00am from UK ($lots - thanks). 
Jan 2017: Notification that an interview has been scheduled at a local office. Bizarrely still no RFE... 
Jan 2017: 2hr wait, then interview terminated before it began, due to moving my ID to another state 2 wks prior. New interview 'in a few months...maybe.'   Informed them that divorce proceedings are underway, but not finalised at this time. 
March 2017: An Interview was scheduled - marked as no-show as they didn't actually send out a notification of interview. FML 
April  2017: Filed an official complaint with the ombudsman, and have requested Senator & Congressman assistance
August 2017: Interview - switched to a (finalised) divorce waiver. Told that decision will be made that afternoon, but no problems foreseen with my case. 
October 2017: Letter of Denial received - reason given as 'I-751 petition was not properly filed'. Discovered ex-spouse made false allegations to USCIS in 2015. No opportunity given to review & refute allegations  - contrary to USCIS policy.

I-751 #2 - Oct 2017 - Mar 2021[Denied] 

 

October 2017: Within 72hrs of receiving denial notice, a new waiver I-751, divorce decree & $680 cheque, sent to Vermont via FedEx overnight 9am priority.  
Dec 2019: Filed FOIA request for full A# file
Feb 2020: FOIA request completed - entire A# file received as a .PDF; 197 pages fully redacted, and 80 partially redacted. Don't waste your time!
March 2021: I-751 #2 denied for lack of evidence. No RFE, no interview, and evidence in previous I-751 not reviewed - contrary to policy. Huge errors in adjudication.

N-400 - Feb 2018 - Apr 2021 [Denied]

 

February 2018: N-400 filed online.  $725 paid to the USCIS paperwork wastage fund

February  2019: Interview - cancelled after a four hour wait due to 'missing paperwork' on their end. Promised Expedited reschedule.

March 2021: Interview letter received, strangely dated after I-751 denial. No I-751 interview conducted. N-400 interview and test passed, given 'cannot make a decision at this time' paper due to the ongoing I-751 nightmare...

April 2021: N-400 denial received citing recent I-751 denial as basis for ineligibility, even though it should have been a combo interview 🤯

I AM JACK'S COMPLETE LACK OF SURPRISE

Service Motion - March 2021 [Sent via FedEx & COMPLETELY IGNORED by USCIS]

 

March 2021: Service Motion request sent overnight addressed direectly to field office director, requesting urgent review and re-opening, based on errors in adjudication - citing USCIS policy, AFM and memorandums as basis for errors. This was completely ignored by USCIS.

 I-751 #3 - June 2021 - Jan 2024 [Denied]

 

IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY

June 2021: I-751 #3 (30+lbs/5000 pages of paperwork) & another $680 sent to USCIS via FedEx ($300+..thanks) .... 

June 2021: Receipt issued, card charged, biometrics waived, infopass scheduled for I-551 stamp number ten.....

Feb 2022: RFIE (no, not an RFE, a Request For Initial Evidence) received, for copies of the divorce paperwork that they already have 😑

July 2022: Infopass for I-551 stamp number eleven.....

August 2023: Infopass for I-551 stamp number twelve....

January 2024: Denial received, ignoring the overwhelming majority of the filing, abundance of evidence, and refutation of a provably false allegation. The denial also contradicts itself in multiple places, as if it was written by someone with an IQ <50.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

2024: FML. Seriously. I'm done.

What proof I  can submit as a parmanent residence to fill N-400 without having a stamp and with pending 10yrs green cards?

I called the uscis department and they answer any question that you can have. i asked them about it and they said as a conditional resident i can apply for my us citizenship when i have the 3 years if i already applied for the removal of my conditions and after the 3 years i can submit my application to do citizenship even if i havent received my gc. i asked her i can do it 90 days before the 3 years and she said no you have to wait until you have 3 years exactly, you can even sent the paperwork the same day or your 3rd anniversary but you have to wait. and they give you just one interview.  

 

as i said i called USCIS to ask for some information i need for my case and i ask about that too.

 

 

and you have to submit all the proof you have and documents showing that you already start the process to remove conditions. and all the other documents you need to do it i dont know everything havent check but that was something that the person i speak with told me.
