  1. Here are some interesting statistics. Seems N-400s, compared to I-751s, are being processed at astounding numbers: For the 4th Qtr of FY 2022 I-751s Received During the Qtr: 40,081 I-751s Processed During the Qtr: 24,011 I-751s Still pending: 270,925 ---------- N-400s Received During the Qtr: 194,819 N-400s Processed During the Qtr: 323,793 N-400s Still Pending: 543,838 There were roughly 10% of the N-400s denied.

  3. Immigrant interviews are scheduled by NVC, but are conducted at the consulate stage. The Consulate is the sole authority for visa approvals.
  4. That is not correct at all. It would be extremely rare for a petitioner to be interviewed at any stage of the immigrant visa process. I think you need to study the process.
  5. Unless the case was expedited, the consulate does not schedule interviews. This how the process works: 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 interview when case reaches the front of the queue for that consulate. 5. NVC notifies person of interview date via email. 6. 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.
  6. My question to the OP: What were you thinking when you left in 2015?
  7. Yep. That seems to be an odd requirement. I don't think I've seen that before.
  8. I'd say there is better than 50-50 chance that you will face heavy scrutiny. It certainly could be seen as abandonment. The only way to find out is to enter the US. CBP cannot force you to sign an I-407, but they can refer you to an IJ. Extended absence. No taxes filed since receiving Green Card. Previous Warning No other actions to maintain residency.
  9. Citizenship is the ultimate immigration goal for many (maybe most), but not everyone.
  10. Not at all. In fact, it "jump started" my wife's process. After waiting 40 months for USCIS to approve my wife's I-751, we filed her N-400 in August of 2022. In December 2022, USCIS approved both the I-751 and N-400 in a combo interview. 6 weeks after the interview, she became a US citizen.
  11. Yep. These immigration questions are pretty straightforward.
  12. That question is asking for his Moroccan passport number. Item #49 will then ask for "Morocco".
  13. Your wife's legal status does not change when the extension letter expires. USCIS is now issuing 48 month extension letters. She may or may not get one. If she needs evidence of her status for work, traveling, etc., she can make an Infopass appointment at USCIS after the extension letter has expired. On another note, does she plan to file an N-400 for citizenship. If so, isn't she now eligible?
  14. I think you have more than enough. Hopefully, in about a year, she can file her N-400. Good luck.
  15. Civil registry for a US marriage would be the marriage certificate issued by a county....such as your Utah marriage certificate.
  16. Another method is to file the N-400. After 40 months of waiting for the I-751 to be approved, wife filed N-400. About 5 months later, she had her Naturalization Certificate in her hands.
  17. I think this is consulate specific. My wife's consulate asked only for her divorce certificate.....but not marriage certificate. Yes, this is for the applicant:
  18. Exactly what document are you talking about? Where is this step 7? Please provide a link. I would like to see the context.
  19. Exactly where does it say that? Please provide a link to that statement.
  20. You're right. Interestingly, the last administration tried to increase fees, but it was blocked by a federal judge. Seems, this admin is going to get fees increased. Hopefully, that will allow USCIS to hire more eyes. Then, eventually, processing times will decrease.
  21. You also omit the impact of the pandemic. Even through pandemic shutdowns and staffing limitations, the steady flow of applicants continued. There is not a quick fix in sight, regardless of the promises politicians make. As of the last USCIS stats I saw, USCIS was receiving twice as many petitions as they were processing. Maybe a large increase in staffing will help.
