If you have an I751 pending together with N400, I would concentrate on I751 before you worry about Citizenship.

I'm slow to add here, but we got married (pics)

Cute! Welcome to Visa journey 😀 -
Also, the scammer may realize she will not be able to adjust and will try to come back in hopes of claiming Wawa. Be vigilant about any attempt to reconcile. You did good with the annulment. Very smart on your part. This is the best revenge, ensuring it will be difficult for her to adjust status another way.

Divorcing in another country
discoverusa replied to ag87's topic in Effects of Major Family Changes on Immigration Benefits
Are all of you currently residing in the Dominican Republic or US? Did your wife and stepdaughter immigrate to United States? -
Which Form to File?
discoverusa replied to csh2020's topic in What Visa Do I Need - Family Based Immigration
Does she have notice to appear or release of recognization? Which country is she from? From what you described, she doesn't currently have a status to adjust from. -
I went alone. It wasn't worth it for my self employed husband to lose income for a day. Also, didn't take my son out of school for this. Other attendees will take your picture. I believe Court clerk took pictures for each person with a judge. I took myself out to lunch that day and went back to work. It was a good day!

Health Insurance for my mom (59yo)
discoverusa replied to EMBELL_17's topic in Moving to the US and Your New Life In America
You can hire your mom and pay her on the books. You can use a payroll services provided by care.com or some other system. Make sure she earns 40 qualifying quarters needed to get Medicare. This approach does not solve your immediate issue, but think about long term solutions. Also, after she becomes a US Citizen or LPR for five years the state options through Medicaid may be available. Rules vary depending on state. I hear California is most beneficial for new LPR as far as providing healthcare. -
3 yr versus 5 yr rule. Does it matter?
discoverusa replied to Don0's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
I did it after three years. It wasn't too much more paperwork. Major bonus is being done with USCIS forever. -
Planning to petition my mom
discoverusa replied to J&E2013's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
I think it makes sense to bring parents who are in their fifties or early sixties and are still healthy. They can still work for ten years and pay into Medicare. My friend brought her Mother and Mom got a housekeeping job at the hotel and worked for ten years. The plan for her was to earn small SSA benefit and go back to her County. Mom actually likes living in US, is now retired and staying here for a foreseeable future. -
Planning to petition my mom
discoverusa replied to J&E2013's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
I think a lot of new US Citizens are sponsoring parents just because they can. More thought should be put into whether this is a good idea for all involved. Healthcare cost is a huge consideration. Also, elderly parent often has bigger support system in their home country. The only people I saw adjust well are the once with only child that immigrated to US. I can't even imagine bringing my Mom here. Three of my siblings reside near her as well as extended family. -
New Immigration Policy
discoverusa replied to Sarah&Facundo's topic in General Immigration-Related Discussion
Those who entered with inspection (student, tourist, ECT.) can usually adjust status without leaving US even if they overstayed. Those who entered without inspection wouldn't be able to adjust based on current laws. New rule would allow whose who entered without inspection to adjust status without leaving. -
N-400 Married to a US Citizen
discoverusa replied to Stucor's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
I agree, but I am a bit confused why OP's timeline doesn't show proces of removing conditions. Just making sure he is aware of this step. -
N-400 Married to a US Citizen
discoverusa replied to Stucor's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
When you adjusted status, did you receive 10 year or 2 year LPR card?
