Yes Yes, at the discretion of CBP at the border.

Truth!!! Thankfully, I was finally able to update wife's address change online. Texas DPS is strict about requiring Green card holders to come in to the office for EVERYTHING.

After our I-751 had been pending for 40 months, wife submitted her N-400. Four months later, both the I-751 and N-400 were approved during a combo interview. A few weeks later, wife took the citizenship oath. Had she not filed the N-400, we could still be waiting for the I-751.

This is the process after DQ. You might check other timelines for that consulate. I have never found another way to check the length of the queue at NVC. 1. Case is DQ'd by NVC. 2. Case then enters NVC queue for your consulate and waits at NVC. 3. Consulate informs NVC of available interview date for upcoming month. 4. NVC schedules interviews for cases at the front of the line. 5. NVC schedules your interview when your case reaches the front of the queue for that consulate. 6. NVC notifies person of interview date via email. 7. NVC then sends case to consulate. After the interview is scheduled, it can take several days to several weeks for the consulate to receive the case.

Congratulations!!! Your interview was very similar to our combo interview a couple years ago in Irving. My wife had to wait a few weeks (it was holiday season) for the oath ceremony in Plano, TX......there were 1,000 new citizens taking the oath that day in her ceremony...LOL.

From what status was she adjusting status? Tourist visa or student visa?

Yep. He who doesn't buy the dip misses opportunity. I should have bought some more precious metals....but I didn't.

Dow Jones up almost 3,000 points today!!

If your N-400 interview has been scheduled, a decision would not take place until after the interview has been completed. Good Luck.

Many of us did not require an attorney. Others have. Personally, I thought the online N-400 process for my wife was pretty simple.

The items I mentioned will be required at the next stage- NVC. No need to upload them now. Evidence of intent to establish domicile could consist of things like intended living arrangements (rental agreements, listings,etc.), job inquiries, school inquires, other concrete steps toward moving.

No. You must either live in the US or show evidence that you intend to re-locate to the US to live.

Back Taxes- As a US citizen (and sponsor of an immigrant), you must have filed taxes in the US for the past 3 years (if your income was above the reporting threshold). As you will be the primary sponsor of your spouse, this is required as supporting evidence for an I-864, Affidavit of Support. If your income was below the filing threshold, you can explain why you were not required to file taxes. Be aware that US citizens must report world-wide income regardless of where you reside and regardless from where the income was earned. Evidence that you intend to establish domicile & relocate to the US- You will have to provide evidence that you either reside or intend to reside in the US. Sufficient income or assets to sponsor a new immigrant- As the primary sponsor of your spouse, you or a Joint Sponsor will have to show evidence that you have sufficient current annual income continuing after relocation to the US or sufficient assets to sponsor a new immigrant. This will be supporting evidence for the I-864, Affidavit of Support.

Areas which might need attention at the NVC stage of the process: 1. Your back taxes. 2. Evidence that you intended to establish domicile in the US. 3. Sufficient income or assets to sponsor a new immigrant.

Yes

Just correct it at the interview. Not an issue.

Yes, since he carried a weapon.

That is exactly right. After receiving available slots from the consulate, NVC assigns them to cases at the front of the queue for that country.

Each and every entry into the US has always been at the discretion of CPB at the border. That hasn't changed.

Just heard that Trump just ended TPS status for all who entered the US using that CBP-One app Biden created. DHS sent them emails saying "It's time to abandon the US".

One option might be to just leave EVERYTHING in the maiden name until she naturalizes. I see potential issues with a "new" marriage.

I would try again after she receives her Green card.
