    Research the laws and implications thoroughly though. From what I saw on this forum, things changed drastically since early 2000s. Also from what I've heard before: even though people switched to B almost with no issues after J, it would then result in extra scrutiny when applying for any visas in the future in US consulates overseas.

    Does your J1 visa say smth along the lines of "subject of a 2-year rule"? If you so - you can not get another visa until after you return to your home country & spend at least 2 years outside of the US. If not - I knew plenty of people back in my time on J-1 who changed their status to B within the US and traveled for an extra couple of months. But I don't know the process, and this was back in early 2000s.

    This is solely based on my personal experience: - My I-751 was still being adjudicated at the time when I filed N400 under 3 year rule so they had all the evidence already - I submitted only the bare minimum for N400 (marriage certificate, taxes short 1 year bc it wasn't available yet, and that's all) Naturalized much sooner than if I had waited for 2 additional years. And, again, didn't need to collect/submit any additional evidence so it wasn't a hassle at all.

    You might get the fastest N-400 adjudication in the history of USCIS medal.

    They will likely waive your I-751 interview and you'll just do the N-400 test (I wouldn't even refer to it as interview because all I was asked were the civics test questions + quick reading & writing test, that's it).

    It's 3 years (minus 90 days) after you received your GC, not wedding date. So count 3 years from May 2023. Don't forget to remove conditions on your GC in the meantime.

    Staying for a couple of months at most & leaving shortly after being born hardly qualifies as "living in US" doesn't it?

    Mother gave birth on US soil, acquired citizenship for the child, returned to her country with the baby.

    I would start with following up with their office. Pester them if you need to. My representative helped me tremendously when I reached out to them. Albeit they responded right away. They can do it, and USCIS will respond to their inquiry.

    I feel bad for VAWA filers who already have an uphill battle ahead of them proving the legitimacy of their case.

    If you apply ASAP, you might get all three visas in time for your trip. I only have experience with French embassy, and it took about 10 business days to get my passport back.

    I would stand behind this but only if USCIS spend that extra $$$ to significantly improve their website functionality. Because when I was doing online filing, it was a disaster.
