US Immigration from Netherlands

Hi,

I married my American wife in 2016, after the whole cr1 process was completed I came here on 01/16/2020 and I m a resident with a permanent greencard.

However, I would like to apply for citizenship. But my question is, do I have to wait till 01/16/2023 when it s been exactly 3 years that I would be living in the usa. Or can I start the whole process a few months earlier? How long are the processing times right for the N400?
Thank you

Hi y all,

Me and my son (8 year old) came to the US on k1 Dec 21. Filed for AOS in feb 22, within a year of doing my medical exams in my home country. Last week I received a RFE for showing proof of a marital life (evidence already sent). But my son received a RFE for doing his medical. I don t understand why, as we filed for AOS within a year. I called USCIS, the person I spoke to said I will receive a call back within 30 days. Has anyone experience with this? What can I do more?

Hi All,

My case has been documentarily complete as of July 19, 2022, and I have been put in the NVC queue for the interview at the US consulate in Amsterdam. This is for the Eb2 National Interest Waiver employment green card (self petitioned). It's been more than 5 weeks, and I have not received my interview date yet.

Are these immigrant visa interview delays still normal in the post-COVID time?

Will the embassy contact me by regular paper post in the Netherlands regarding the interview, or they will send an email with all instructions?

Hi all,

Story:

Last week my wife and I filed the i-130 from the Netherlands (online application) and I am preparing some future steps to be ahead.

My wife and I are both employed here and plan to move to the US as soon as I receive my visa. Now, my mother-in-law will be a joint sponsor, so that's covered. The only question I have is to proof that my wife (US citizen) will establish domicile in the US no later than me (beneficiary).

She worked in the last 1.5 years of her PhD also here for an US company, under Dutch contract, just to cover expenses (from what I understand this might be contradictory to the temporary part(?))

Case:

She lived in the Netherlands for about 8 years, but only for studies. So, I'll try to proof that by showing records of:

- letter from mother-in-law we're going to live at here address to start our house-seeking journey;

- proof of registration of her master program

- proof of her PhD program (ended June 2022)

- US bank account

- US tax filed last years

- US election votes

Question:

We might even have a job lined up by then, but we're not sure about that yet. Eight years is a long time. Does anyone has a clue if this sounds like strong case to proof my wife's intention to establish domicile?

Thank you all very much.
