  1. You might get the fastest N-400 adjudication in the history of USCIS medal.
  2. 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).
  3. 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.
  4. Staying for a couple of months at most & leaving shortly after being born hardly qualifies as "living in US" doesn't it?
  5. Mother gave birth on US soil, acquired citizenship for the child, returned to her country with the baby.
  6. 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.
  7. I feel bad for VAWA filers who already have an uphill battle ahead of them proving the legitimacy of their case.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Go take your Oath then apply for a passport via a passport agency. It used to be ~$400, could be slightly more now. Turnaround is as quick as 48 hours. Free option is to apply for emergency passport appointment due to immediate travel. But I’m not familiar with that process and how successful it is.
  11. First of all, don't compare your case to others'. It won't do you any good, just add to your frustration. Back when I filed for my AOS in 2016, those who filed with me received their GCs within 3-6 months. At some point, I was the only filer left in my topic who got nothing from USCIS. Each of my filings (AOS, I-751, N400) ended up taking the longest out of the projected wait time, and I had no RFEs. So just be patient. And yes, the country of origin might affect certain USCIS processes. For example, during my original AOS filing, at the infopass appointment I learned that my home country took over half a year to clear my background check which resulted in delay of my interview.
  12. I was rooting for you so much… Don’t give up! 🙏🏻
  13. I sent the absolute bare minimum. Didn't even include the most recent year of tax returns as they weren't available at the time when I filed. No RFEs, interviewed in less than year (I-751 was delayed but that's another story).
