Something strange just happened

[Crazy Cat 41,857]

Since May 29th, 2019, my wife's case status has been "As of May 29, 2019, your case is ready to be scheduled for an interview".  However, I just checked the status a few minutes ago, and it has changed to the date below.  The only major event as of late is that we moved to a new address last month, and we reported the address change for both my wife and me, the sponsor.  I wonder if this means my wife might actually be getting closer to a 10 year GC.:

Maybe some light at the end of a very long tunnel!

I would definitely hang around the old address or get in touch with current residents so that they can give you the mail, should it end up there. USCIS and AR-11 are water and oil. Being sent on the 6th of Aug, I am sure that mail should be at your inbox or the previous one. So, reach out to old address before USPS sends it back and you have a whole mess to now deal with.

Yes.  We are friends with the folks who bought our house.  I have already asked them to notify us if they see anything from DHS or USCIS.....

Wait, is this not Lucky Cat? I was wondering how many Taiwanese - Texan cats we have on VJ. Hhahahaha

Glad to see you are finally getting that I-751. I remember you filed before me and was wondering why yours was taking forever. 

I ma sure you already filed for N400 by now or maybe you have other ideas. 

Anyway, good to see it is finally progressing.

When we did an address change 3-4 years ago, USCIS started sending all mail to our new address EXCEPT the interview notice, which was automatically forwarded by USPS... it's beyond insane that so many paper notices are sent out.

 

Even immigrant visa interview appointments at the consulate are sent by email (at least ours was)!

Yes, I was "Lucky Cat'......😀   My wife has not filed her N-400 yet.  We need an original divorce decree which my wife is going to get on her next trip to Taiwan.  By the time she gets that document, she will probably qualify under the 5 year rule....LOL....

What is the 5 year rule?

5 year rule for citizenship qualification.

I really hope so! The wait has been too long. It's a complete mystery to me why it takes so long for some people and zips by for others.

So no need for N400 if she's had a GC for 5 years?

No, if you have a GC for 5 years then you don't need to file on the "marriage to a US citizen" rule, you can just file on your own. Thus, no need for marriage certificates, divorce decrees, etc.

 

N-400 is only needed if you want to apply for citizenship. It's not "needed" in any cases other than that.

Nah.  It's Missile Man.

 

Hopefully next you'll get the "new card is being produced" message, heralding the waived ROC interview!

I mean, it’s you. You know an awful lot about immigration, we’re certain your relationship is bona fide and that you prepared the perfect package. So your wife should get the 10 yr gc without the hassle of the interview. And then she’ll smile like the airport picture that you posted! 😉 if I were the officer looking at your case I’ll be flipping pages and be done in about three minutes and think about lunch while I go over your package!
