I think that says it all. I think you should try to let go, move on to seek happiness for yourself.

Even Bill Maher tears into these kids because they have no idea about the people they are supporting.

Who is "we"? I thought everything was fine in the marriage prior to her leaving....or have you consulted the attorney after she left?

I would use the Green Card. It is evidence of legal residence

Yes. I would get a response to them ASAP!!!!! I would include a letter with a GOOD explanation as to why it is late. I would beg for mercy, so to speak. Then, you wait....

In our case, we had waited 40 months for our I-751 to be processed. We had no RFEs. Wife submitted her N-400, and 4 months later both the I-751 and N-400 were approved in our combo interview. I'd say that the N-400 approval would not have been any faster if our I-751 had been previously approved.

In most case, I don't think it matters. There are many N-400 cases here which were approved rapidly with pending I-751s. The officer either conducts a combination interview or the officer approves the I-751 at the same time as the N-400 without an I-751 interview. I have seen only a very few N-400s delayed because of local office not having the I-751 files. If you are asking if it is better to wait out an I-751 approval before applying for citizenship, I'd say definitely no.

How so? She is inside the US. ESTA??? I thought she was a J-1.

Do you have a good divorce attorney? If not, get one.

I believe it allows her to apply for a work permit. However, it will not involve you

If the marriage is not salvageable, I would focus on protecting myself physically and financially. Per your comments, seems she has a weak U-Visa case involving you and a weak VAWA path forward. Well said. Agree 100%.

OK. Unless she charges you with a crime, you are out of the loop. You have no pending I-864 if the I-485 was denied. She is on her own as far as immigration.

So, you were trying to get a 2 year Home Residency Requirement waived? If so, she has not yet filed an I-485...correct?

That sounds like VAWA to me. I thought U visas were for victims of crimes.

For the 3 year rule, only 3 years is needed.

Interesting YT video by Judge Joe Brown regarding the case. He stated "I have not been this angry at anything in a long time". Caution: Offensive language. Judge Joe Brown lays it out as to why this verdict will not stand.....among other things.

Yes.

Sounds like a lazy officer. However, congratulations!!! Obtaining citizenship is quite an accomplishment which most Americans don't understand.

"settled" means you are comfortable.

Chapter 6 - Jurisdiction, Place of Residence, and Early Filing | USCIS "Although an applicant may file early according to the 90 day early filing provision, the applicant is not eligible for naturalization until he or she has reached the required five-year period of continuous residence as a lawful permanent resident (LPR)." " D. 90-Day Early Filing Provision (INA 334) An applicant filing under the general naturalization provision may file his or her application up to 90 days before he or she would first meet the required 5-year period of continuous residence as an LPR.[14] Although an applicant may file early according to the 90 day early filing provision, the applicant is not eligible for naturalization until he or she has reached the required five-year period of continuous residence as a lawful permanent resident (LPR). USCIS calculates the early filing period by counting back 90 days from the day before the applicant would have first satisfied the continuous residence requirement for naturalization. For example, if the applicant would satisfy the five-year continuous residence requirement for the first time on June 10, 2010 USCIS will begin to calculate the 90-day early filing period from June 9, 2010. In such a case, the earliest that the applicant is allowed to file would be March 12, 2010 (90 calendar days earlier). In cases where an applicant has filed early and the required three month period of residence in a state or service district falls within the required five-year period of continuous residence, jurisdiction for filing will be based on the three-month period immediately preceding the examination on the application.[15]"

There is always a first time for everything. Good luck. Remember: These attorneys won't have to deal with any issues if they arise in the future (other than collecting a huge fee). Personally, I would want this settled asap. I would absolutely want USCIS involved to investigate. Maybe your Senator can help.

1. I see they never said you didn't take the oath too early....... 2. You can't erase the fact that you googled it and discovered the issue. 3. No one has said you intended fraud. The fact is that you possibly took the oath too early. A mistake by USCIS doesn't negate that fact. Good luck. . Ignoring an issue is not always the best course of action. Be aware that we see bad attorney advice pretty often around here.

Thank you for letting me know that my first comment wasn't clear...😀

You must list your travel. There is no requirement to provide official government records. Wife and I used her passport, our calendars, and airline ticket information to find dates.

No, I am not. If petitioner is already in the US, you can enter alone. Note: I edited my earlier comment to make that clear. Thanks.
