Not a lot more to add, but wanted to expand a little on what @Boiler mentioned. When your spouse's 90 day window opens to file for N400 and assuming they plan to file that online, wait at least 1-2 days (a week is probably better) to submit to avoid any weird headaches that could come from USCIS's system (see attached thread). Also, as others have said, the I751 is a separate process and will be necessary to file two years after the GC issue date less 90 days, so don't conflate that with the N400. There is a lot of debate if it is good to file the N400 while the I751 is pending. I am on the side of if naturalization is the ultimate goal, there is no reason to wait for the I751 to be finished to file the N400, but I do understand there may be some nuance related to processing times for the N400 at the local office. You list San Bernadino as the local office which is currently showing 9 months for the N400, and with the I751 taking up to four years now, I see no downside. Anyway, Good Luck!

More cost of wokeness. Btw, there are consequences of free speech especially when you harm another person or entity. Risky business: Appearance of ‘risk’ manager sends Oberlin students into frenzy over the danger of ‘risk aversion’ Over its almost 200 years of existence, Oberlin College has faced a civil war, an economic depression and pandemics. But until this year, it had never faced the likes of Kalinda Watson. Student editors on The Oberlin Review have risen up against the addition of Watson to the college ranks as an existential threat. No, Watson is not a conservative or a Republican — groups that haven’t been welcome on campus for many years. Oberlin is ranked in the top three most liberal colleges in the country, and finding a conservative professor is about as likely as finding a licensed, practicing wizard. No, Watson is far, far worse. She is a risk management expert. The panic over the arrival of a risk management expert in this small college is that she may be working … wait for it … to lower the risk of lawsuits at the college. Oberlin, it appears, attracts lawsuits as much as liberals. The students fear that she will create “risk aversion” that could chill future protests. https://thehill.com/opinion/education/3991699-risky-business-appearance-of-risk-manager-sends-oberlin-students-into-frenzy-over-the-danger-of-risk-aversion/

So projecting this entire initiative out, what is the plan if the CA legislature realizes there is not enough money for this, or The governor of CA does not sign a bill allowing for this? Mostly peaceful riots?

Keep in mind US Passports are taking some time right now. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/how-apply/processing-times.html

Agreed, you can go into the visitor line.

It is amazing when Leftist/socialist argue over mass wealth redistribution. I am still wondering when the Native Americans and Chinese in California will get theirs. Anyway, I guess those in CA voted for this. California panel approves reparations proposal of up to $1.2 million EACH for black residents... but activists demand more than $200 million at heated public meeting https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12055465/California-panel-approves-reparations-proposal-life-long-black-residents-1-2million.html

So now it will be a decision on if it is ok to upset the activists.

Is Ben Crump in NYC already?

Don't forget ABlinken. It is interesting though that there is little to no defense of Old Corrupt Joe right now.

Then these employers can pursue an employment based visa, or they need to understand the timeframe for immigration. Nothing related to USCIS is fast.

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova slams transgender cyclist Austin Killips' win in US race to be named 'Queen of the Mountains': 'Women's sports is NOT THE PLACE for trans identified male athletes' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12048543/Tennis-legend-Martina-Navratilova-slams-transgender-cyclist-Austin-Killips-win-race.html

In general, DCF is accepted under exceptional circumstances related to the USC needing to repatriate quickly. Regardless, it doesn’t hurt to try. This may be helpful, the process should be the same or similar at each consulate.

Are you just transiting through South Korea? Anyway, my wife flew through Incheon back one time when she was on her extension letter, she had no issues as she was flying Delta and they were familiar with the process. Also, as already stated, the CBP carrier guide (page 2) shows that an expired GC and valid original extension letter (I797 NOA) is acceptable for an airline to board a person coming to the US. I think the question was related to does the ROK government care about your US status, that would be a no, they only care that you are legal to enter the ROK. The group that will care are the airline staff that will check you in to your flight back to the US. Anyway, my only other suggestion is to make a couple of copies of the extension letter and keep the original safe as you need to present the original to CBP with your expired GC. My wife was once asked to leave the letter by the airline staff in Beijing, luckily she had a copy of it. https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2019-Mar/2019 Carrier Information Guide - ENGLISH.pdf

He is a Democrat and the vanquisher of Trump, he will get a pass.

Combine this with the loss of tax revenues CA is seeing from the current exodus makes me think the residents that stay and are not eligible for this wealth transfer will see much higher taxes. Apart from that, as discussed earlier, what about the Chinese slaves CA took advantage of? What about the Native American tribes still in CA? I guess this just shows the true racist nature of the Democrats that run CA.

So this thread degenerated almost immediately. To get back on topic, the US military is having trouble recruiting right now, do they really think this new campaign will be a winner for recruitment?

I love NPR's hypocrisy. If they are indeed "fact-based" journalist, then why are they upset with the label state affiliated, or state sponsored when they do get money from the government. If they really want to lose that label, then stop taking what they call a miniscule amount of funding from the federal government. Noting the millions of listeners who support and rely upon NPR for "independent, fact-based journalism,"

Of course NPR is state sponsored media, so not really to be trusted.

Remember the Left's hyperbole when Trump was talking about sending troops to the Southern Border?

Which of course is a bad sign.

OP stated the wife got her citizenship in 2021, so not quite 3 years yet.

The policy manual does not prohibit a look beyond the statutory period. B. Conduct Outside of the Statutory Period USCIS is not limited to reviewing the applicant's conduct only during the applicable GMC period. An applicant’s conduct prior to the GMC period may affect the applicant’s ability to establish GMC if the applicant’s present conduct does not reflect a reformation of character or the earlier conduct is relevant to the applicant’s present moral character.[6] In general, an officer must consider the totality of the circumstances and weigh all factors, favorable and unfavorable, when considering reformation of character in conjunction with GMC within the relevant period.[7] The following factors may be relevant in assessing an applicant’s current moral character and reformation of character: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-f-chapter-2

The Dems really like to keep the entire MAGA brand front and center as some sort of a pejorative. So if the Dems are against MAGA which of course us here know what that stands for, then what are the Democrats proposing? MAHA?

Thanks for the clarification, but kind of a moot point considering the person in question has had their GC for eight years plus. The question at hand seems to be how many years an LPR has to show good moral character after a DUI conviction. As I mentioned, this is probably best answered through a consultation with an immigration attorney well versed in dealing with this sort of thing.

Since he did not get his GC via marriage to a USC I don't believe the 3 year rule applies in any way and since he has had his GC for about 8 years now it is irrelevant. He could apply anytime, but I would be consulting a competent immigration attorney first. Good Luck! https://www.alllaw.com/articles/nolo/us-immigration/applying-citizenship-dui-your-record.html
