Is this actually true? I would think they just administratively close the I-751 after N-400 approval, same as they do with the I-131 and I-765 if the green card is approved before they are. Also, really nice to just come here and see such fast timelines after having slogged through our I-129F during the pandemic.

First I'm hearing of this. Granted, I'm a US Citizen and my wife (who also filed some I-134s) is pretty well biometric-ed at this point (her N-400 app reused her previous biometrics appt).

I may have misspoke. I believe her GC was issued on 11/30 in actuality. In any case, the application won't let you submit early, so I think we're safe there.

Just to update here, we redid the applications through my wife and got a response back in a few weeks. Nice to have some clarity on this.

Felt like I should check in. Filed 9/1, however we're only eligible for citizenship 12/1/2024. Got a notice our biometrics can be reused. Now time to wait.

I had no idea this was a thing. Thank you for letting me know or I honestly don't know where I would've found this info otherwise. My spouse can file for them in that case.

I have a feeling this suggestion from the immigration officer is so that people are not inadvertently outside the country when they're due to at their oath ceremony since it may be difficult to reschedule it. Not because it's technically not allowed.

I had no idea oaths could take place same day. I always thought they scheduled them in groups at a later date.

I'm surprised people have been getting approvals. I was almost certain my wife was going to get naturalized before we ever hear back.

Hey all, I've filed quite a few I-134As since 2022, probably in the 10-12 range. The last two I filed, on March 30th 2024, are still under review. The ones I filed before that, in late 2023, got approved within a couple of months. I've had it happen in the past that a I-134 fell through the cracks and never got out of pending state (to this day), and it worked to just submit a new application. So I did that with these two apps as well on June 7th. We haven't had a topic on U4U timelines in a while, so I just wanted to ask what kind of timelines people are experiencing with the I-134A applications these days.

Hey all, One of my potential beneficiaries has a passport that is expired on the bio page, but was extended on the visa pages with a stamp from the Ukrainian embassy. The father of this beneficiary says that the embassy cannot do a full renewal, and were only doing these temporary renewals. Does anyone gave experience with this? Would this be acceptable for the CBP? The other issue is that the extension on the visa page contains written text that is all in Ukrainian. I'm guessing they would need a notarized translation of that page to get through immigration, if this extension is acceptable. Would they need anything else? Like an apostile?

They didn't specify any reason in the denial notice? Ths Russian passport in and of itself shouldn't be an issue, but yes, the unsolicited evidence always helps (granted that you don't submit a mountain of it).

They've been using any reason at all to close cases. I recently filed an extension request twice for a beneficiary, once 28 days before expiration and again 10 days after expiration, and both times, the reply was that I was making the request outside the 30 day before/after period. It was bad during the pandemic/Trump reign, but never did they completely go against policy; it just took forever to get anything processed.

Hey all, does anyone have estimates for how long the extension takes to process? I submitted the request on Feb 18 with the expiration being on March 18th. I logged in on March 18th to find that they rejected the request because it was more than 30 days before expiration (not correct). I refiled another request, but my beneficiary is traveling March 29th. I'm now a bit worried she won't get the extension in time.

Does anyone know what opportunities there are for adjustment of status for paroled individuals? Could they apply for asylum? Could they apply for a work visa? What exactly is the process there (since they probably wouldn’t be working through an embassy)?
