For the 3 year rule, he must have been married to the US citizen for 3 years AND he must have had his Green Card for 3 years. That means he can apply in November 2025....minus 90 days (Aug 2025).
I suggest filing the N-400 as soon as she is qualified. Our I-751 had been pending for 40 months when wife filed her N-400. Four months later, both the I-751 and N-400 were approved during a combo interview. Sometimes, the N-400 will push the I-751.
No....unless you still have a "only with work authorization" card. There is a benefit in having USCIS notify Social Security of your citizenship status.
As far as I know, a person who submits a proper I-485 is still authorized to stay in the US until the I-485 is either approved or denied. I don't think that has changed yet.
The numbers you need are on the visa, itself. The A-number is the "Registration number". The MNL case number is DOS case number. That is all you need to pay the fee online...other than a Debit or credit card.

In Part 4, "Residence" applies to the date she occupied that home at that address. Her "residence since" date from her Green Card is addressed elsewhere on the N-400.
1. To apply, Green Card holder must have been married to US citizen for 3 years AND must have had Green Card for 3 years....along with the other qualifications such as physical presence, etc.
2. Part 4 concerns physical addresses. Start date is when you started living at that physical address. It has nothing to do with Green Card date.
Yep. Agree 100%. I would now assume there will be heavy scrutiny for any non-immigrant entry of everyone. Strong ties to home country is extremely important now.
On what basis would he file an I-290B? If he did not place initials and date per the RFE instructions, then an I-290 might not work, since the denial was not in error. It's time to refile a new I-485, imho.
