After Naturalization, yes. Social Security needs to be informed that former immigrant is now a US citizen. There will not be a new SS number or card. There is no action required after removal of Conditions (I-751)

He is incorrect. USCIS accepts hyphenated names. Chapter 5 - Verification of Identifying Information | USCIS "For purposes of requesting immigration benefits, a married person may use a legal married name (spouse’s surname), a legal pre-marriage name, or any form of either (for example, hyphenated name, pre-married name or spouse’s surname). Requestors must submit legal documentation, such as that listed below, to show that the name used is the requestor’s legal name:[2] Civil marriage certificate; Divorce decree; Family registry; Country identity document; Foreign birth certificate; Certificate of naming; or Court order.

Yes. There are a lot of things that now seem to be consulate specific. It's difficult to remember what individual consulate processes are. Everything from scheduling interviews to medicals, to pickup and delivery processes can vary. I was simply copying from what should be the official source. LOL.

Although this scenario might be unlikely, it is possible. This member failed to file to adjust status within the time allowed by the I-94. "I was taken to the Border Patrol offices for processing taking 7 hours then sent straight to jail where I have been for 5 weeks. "

This question comes up frequently. There are simply no benefits in waiting. Waiting delays the ability to work in the US, the ability to travel outside the US, and the ability to apply for US citizenship. Why live in the shadows after your I-94 expires? Submission of a proper I-485 will grant you "authorized stay" in the US until the I-485 is either approved or denied. Apply for adjustment of status before your I-94 expires.

London consulate says there should be at least 5 business days between medical and interview date..

The London consulate says medical should be 5 business days before the interview. It also says to reschedule the interview if you cannot complete the medical accordingly. Having said that, if you choose to attend the interview before the medical, the consulate officer can just conduct the interview, then place your case in administrative processing status until the medical exam has been reviewed later. Good luck. About the Medical Examination for an fiancee immigrant visa. (usembassy.gov) "All applicants, regardless of age, are required to complete a medical examination performed by an Embassy approved physician prior to their visa interview. We cannot accept medicals performed by any other physician. When scheduling the appointment, please note that it takes a minimum of 5 work days for the results of the medical examination to be couriered to the Embassy. If you find that you are unable to attend a medical examination prior to your visa interview, you should reschedule your visa interview for at least 5 working days after your medical appointment. Please schedule the earliest available medical examination."

If her Green Card is unexpired, no issues regarding entry. **Moved to Working & Traveling during US immigration***

Congratulations on passing your interview. Today is a happy for you. Many people wait for weeks after their interview to take the oath.

This will reverse the convictions. SELECTIVE PROSECUTION-NY refused to prosecute Hillary for a very, very similar "crime" in the 2016 election. The Steele dossier cost was listed as a legal expense.....and we know the Steele document was intended to interfere with the election.

Not correct. All green card applicants are subject to the public charge provisions other than applications as asylee, refuge, or victims of violence, or similar.

The first step is to contact the consulate and ask them to accept your DCF case. There is no downside to asking. Do NOT submit an I-130 to USCIS unless the consulate declines your request.

I would expect some scrutiny, might be smooth. I would not overstay...period.

As explained by the alert at the top of this page, an address change can be done in multiple ways....case closed. CoA - Change of Address (uscis.gov)

When wife interviewed, it appeared the questions were selected by their computer system. She was asked none of the questions above. I would advise you to learn all 100.

Yep. There seem to be a LOT consulate specific procedures these days.....LOL. Thanks for sharing the UK process.

I'm not sure about London, but Some locations require a copy of the interview letter to book the medical. I agree that later is better for the reason you stated.

As it stands today 6/9/2024: 1. After 5 years as a Green Card holder. 2. 5 Years as a Green Card holder & at least 65 years old before qualifying for Medicare. Also, normally 40 quarters (10 years) of work credit by immigrant or spouse for free Part A. They might be able to buy in at 65+ years old....if they have been Green card holders for 5 years. In 2023, the buy-in cost for qualifying people was roughly $670 per month for Parts A & B. (exceptions may apply). I wouldn't even guess as to what the healthcare system will look like in 20 years. 3. Yes 4. About 20+ years. Visa numbers are just now available for those who have priority date (I-130 submission) of Jul 2007.
