What a waste of time, and wasted CO2 emissions.

Grifters. What else is new.

Not my experience. Wonder if it is a product of where someone grows up in Russia (i.e. Moscow/St. Petes vs not), or just human variation.

Going to drop this here. How Could Larry Summers Be So Stupid? His reemergence took time, but Summers eventually clawed his way out of the hole he had dug for himself and back into the good graces of his party and the media. Journalists appreciated his carefully honed skill for delivering snappy quotes. Democrats didn’t always love his opinions — he lambasted Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan as inflationary — but he was largely seen as prophetic when prices stayed stubbornly high. And when he did criticize Republicans or support Democratic positions, his words carried weight. No one questioned his intelligence. Until now, anyway. The question many would like to ask the former Treasury secretary and former president of Harvard is the same that Jay Leno once asked Hugh Grant after the actor’s arrest for solicitation of a prostitute: What the hell were you thinking? It’s not just that Summers continued a friendship with a man who clearly had a pathological sexual interest in girls and had gone to jail for his sexual proclivities. It is also hard to imagine how Summers could have been so stupid as not to expect that emails with a convicted felon might one day go public. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/11/18/the-inevitable-collapse-of-larry-summers-00657568

COP30 is ongoing. Have the COP conferences just devolved into a stage for a bunch of NGOs to grift more money? Can Cop30 begin the process of phasing out fossil fuels? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/nov/16/can-cop30-begin-the-process-of-phasing-out-fossil-fuels ‘Additional promises mean nothing’: The awkward flaw in the world’s climate talks https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/16/past-promises-haunt-brazils-climate-summit-cop30-00650933

You need to do what is best for your family. As @garebear397 laid out, the cleanest way is to have her give up her GC (I407), and then if a return to the US comes up in the future, you can go through the spousal visa process again (DCF might be an option at that point). I assume when you say she can file the I751 in March, that is the beginning of the 90 day period to file that form. Good Luck!

Co-worker is a naturalized citizen, and he went back to Iran earlier this year and had no issues returning. His wife (also Iranian and also a USC) is there right now and will be returning soon. I suppose a lot depends on the CBP officer, what questions are asked, and how busy the PoE is. Good Luck!

Assets can be used, but there is a multiplication factor which I believe is 3x the I864P value for their household size. -

ROC lastname & SSN
-
I am not completely clear, is the current GC in the maiden name or married name? It sounds like the 2 yr GC is the maiden name, and you are trying to change that via the ROC process. At least to me, this is a new one if my assumption is correct. Others may know better, but can one request a name change at the ROC stage? Regardless, what @OldUser said is accurate, you need a form of ID (GC, US passport, etc.) to take to the SSA to be able to get the name changed on the SSN. If the ROC process will not allow for the name change on the GC, you can do that during the N400 process. Good Luck!

Could be 40 days, could be less, could be more. At the petition stage, they (USCIS) generally move fairly fast, but keep in mind holiday season is nearly upon us. Good Luck!

When is the right time to apply citizenship?
-
Having a DL is not a requirement to file the N400, but if you don't have a State ID, I would apply for that at least. Btw, my wife hadn't driven when she came over, but like you, she practiced, and eventually she got her DL. Enjoy practicing with a Suburban!
-
Since you entered on a K1 (based on your timeline), AOS'd and received your GC, you should qualify to file in the 90 day early filing period (roughly a year after you filed the I751, consult the early filing calculator). There are a lot of opinions as to should one wait to file the N400 until the I751 is complete. My opinion, and the path my wife followed, is that if US citizenship is a goal, there is no need to wait, file the N400 when you meet all the filing requirements. As @OldUser already outlined, your children will obtain citizenship through you, you can apply for a US passport for them using your naturalization certificate Good Luck!

No experience with this, but given the options, I would do what it says on the letter (i.e. mail the response to the given address), and also upload the response on your USCIS account. Good Luck!
