Wife applied online under 5 year rule in August 2022. Biometrics, done in 2017, were reused.

Your status remains the same after your extension letter expires. Good luck on you citizenship interview.

Along with most recent year tax documents, you will need to prove either sufficient current annual income or sufficient liquid assets. CURRENT income is evidenced by employment letter or paystubs if you are an employee.

USCIS will run background checks on you. No need to do it yourself.

Congratulations!!!! It is a great day!!!

The Consulate Officer could deny the application if you leave them room to doubt your ability to provide financial support to her during the second interview. I would do everything I could to get a joint sponsor....Just my opinion. By the way, why is there a second interview? Normally, the CO asks you to upload joint sponsor documents.

I would follow the path of least resistance. Get a joint sponsor as recommended/instructed by the Consulate Officer. The Consulate Officer is the sole approval authority for visas. You will not get another opportunity, imo.

1. Yes 2. Latest Tax year is required. Other 2 are optional. 1 file is OK.

You can't submit what you don't have. You MUST submit either a tax transcript or 1040 with all schedules, etc, you filed. Submit the complete 1040 package along with the letter explaining why you have no W2s or 1099s.

"action" could be the mailing of your NOA1 receipt notice. Average time for the USCIS part of the process seems to be more than a year. Then, another 6 months or so for the Department of State portion.

I'm in Rowlett now.....maybe a quarter mile further south...LOL

EADs and Advance Parole are done at NBC. Interviews are scheduled at local offices.

I wonder what "additional review" even means......

Our combo interview was 44 months after we filed the I-751.

We had a combo interview in Dec at the Dallas Field Office: We received an email a few days prior notifying me to be there for the combo interview. Appointment was at 1:00 pm Wednesday, December 14th. We were called in at 1:30 pm. Officer said, "You have already submitted a lot of evidence". The officer asked both of us a few questions for the I-751 interview. "How did you meet" How many children? When were you married? Did you pay anyone to fill in the I-751? He wanted to see evidence of marriage dated from I-751 filing date (March 2019) to present. I gave him bank accounts, credit card accounts, apartment leases, driver's licenses, Car insurance card. He did NOT ask for tax transcripts (I had already uploaded them) or original documents. He said "You satisfy the I-751 requirements". He then gave me the option of remaining in the room for the N-400 portion, but wife was comfortable alone. He escorted me back to the waiting room. Wife says he asked her a few questions we had answered in the I-751 interview portion, then asked her the 6 easiest questions in the 100 question list. Who is President? What did MLK do? Why did colonists come to America? Name one branch of Government? Name 2 cabinet positions? Who makes laws? About 30 minutes later, he escorted her out to meet me. She had the form which says "You passed the English and Civics test". An hour later, her N-400 status had changed to "Oath will be scheduled". The next day (I think), her I-751 status changed to "Case was approved". What amazed me was the rate the officers were calling interviewees in that afternoon. They had 10 or 12 officers continually calling people out of the waiting room. We were called 30 minutes after our appointment time. The officer told us "We are here to help her become a citizen. We are not trying to fail her. Overall, it was a good experience, but I am very happy it is over. Now, we wait for the oath. Officer said 2 to 6 weeks. My wife's oath ceremony was in Plano on Jan 26, 2023.

Me, too! I wish they would go public. These guys know how to run a business!!!!! I used to live about 4 miles from the Buc' ees in Royce City, Texas!!!

Dear Attorney, This letter formally terminates our contract. If applicable, please promptly process any refund due to me. Sincerely, Me

Please do not start new thread to ask the same question. One duplicate thread has been removed. Thanks.

New 48 month extension letter is my guess.

Exactly. This is just another USCIS inefficiency that we have to pay for.

Congratulations!! Passport time!!!!!

That will come with her US citizenship....not a day sooner. By law, every person applying to enter the US as a visitor is already assumed to have immigrant intent. In addition, EVERY visit is at the discretion of CBP when that visitor arrives at the border. Marriage to a US citizen confers NO immigration rights....as you will see when you apply. USCIS prints that in LARGE print on every document. Without exceptional circumstances, you will apply stateside using this guide: IR1 / CR1 Spouse Visa Step-by-Step Guide on Filing an I-130 for a US Spouse Visa - US Immigration & Visa Guides - VisaJourney You will have to prove domicile or intent to re-domicile in the US. Good luck.
