    Where did you read that? I see that they failed to pass. We have interview on Tuesday and I'm afraid that it will delay more our process...
  2. Thunderbolt
    I don't believe we did that. My wife has N400 interview next week and we were planning on bringing the I751 NOA letter. Will that effect her N400 process?

    We submitted the form on 7/31 - this week got letter in mail for N400 interview on Oct 3rd. They asked to bring originals of marriage/divorce decrees and my original naturalization certificate. I assume they will not keep it? Regardless, its pretty fast. 2 months since submission of the documents.

    Did you get two text messages and 2-3 emails? That's probably because you just applied for it You'll be getting two letters in your regular mail very soon too. One is the payment receipt and the second one is that the case is pending etc.

    I think it would be easier to get married in US. No headache with the translations, certified this, certified that then certified translation etc. If you can, get married in US and be done with unnecessary paperwork.

    Did it few times when traveling from US. Have your passport, GC and marriage certificate. That's all you need.

    It says that the biometrics will be reused.

    The first letter we've received on Saturday stating; "It is not necessary for you to appear at the USCIS Application Support Center ASC for the biometrics appointment. The biometrics fee will not be refunded. Today in the second letter: Thank you for submitting your application... etc. Payment receipt of $725 Next Steps: - We will schedule you for an appointment at a USCIS Application Support Center ASC for you to provide your fingerprints, photograph and or signature - We will mail you a separate biometrics appointment notice with the specific date time and ASC locations. Please wait until you receive your appointment notice before going to the ASC. I'm confused now. In the first letter they've said that they will reuse fingerprints but in the second letter they've said that they will send another notice to schedule the fingerprints.

    And today in the informed delivery I can see that there is another letter from USCIS. What is this second letter about?

    Your wife can qualify for citizenship after meeting one out of two conditions. - Being married to US citizen for 3 years (and living as LPR in US for at least 3 years) - Being LPR and living in US for 5 years. So for your situation, you can submit N400 for your wife 3 years after her arrival in US minus 90 days. My wife will hit 5 years of living in US soon, but because we did K1 and had all the AOS - ROC her LPR counts as the time when she got her 2 year GC. It's silly but nothing we can do about it. Strongly recommending waiting until your anniversary. I know it's a headache but it will be well worth it to stay extra 2 months at home.

    If your wife's visa is good after 10-02 then I would also suggest entering US after your anniversary date. We are 13 months in and got 48 months extension letter... Thankfully my wife's citizenship date was coming up so we've applied and hopefully we will finish this silly waiting game soon.

    Today (6 days after filing online) we've got letter from USCIS that our case was received and biometrics will be reused. Exactly the same thing as showing online when login in to check the messages.
  13. Thunderbolt
    I think it's Washington office (Fairfax VA).
  14. Thunderbolt
    Applied online 7/31 and got notice the same day. Got the message about biometrics reuse and that it will take approximately 7 months.

    What's the S stands for then? They left US because they were in business of money laundering. Paid penalties in billions of dollars and people stopped using them here. The only thing for them linking them with UK is that they have office there. You've got lots to learn.

    I just looked at the map and I see only 2 of the branches left around DC area. I would think twice before opening account in this Chinese bank. They had big big problems in the past. Not only in US but around the world.

    Hi, Virgin Atlantic allows cats and dogs in the cabin (need to put them in the carrier under the seat). Aer Lingus accepts cats and dogs on their flights but they fly in the cargo hold. You could also consider British Airways with a stop, as they allow cats and dogs up to 6kg in the cabin. I don't know the fees for the carriers above, but Lufthansa or United charges $250 each way to take yorkee dog from US to Europe (or back to US) in the cabin under the seat. There is a limit of 1 animal per cabin. For example; only 1 dog or cat can be in economy class, 1 dog or car in economy plus, and 1 dog or cat in business class.

    We received ours. Filed May 2022.

    Yesterday we received extension letter for 48 months I was happy to see letter from USCIS thinking it's finally moving, but it turns out it's just the extension. In June we are failing N-400 so hopefully things will move around.

    So you've been living in US as illegal alien before your wedding? Did you come to US illegally when you were under 18 years old? Not judging, trying to put 2 and 2 together to see why there would be such a long delay for 751. If that's the case, maybe they trying to see if there are things from your time as "unlawful" resident and that's why it takes so long.

    Hi Guys, We will file our N400 online under the 3 year rule. I assume that all supporting evidence needs to be scanned to submit online. What documents have to be scanned right away? Can you start your online application the pause it for day or two (to collect and scan documents)? Thank you!

    Same thing with us. BKK to ICN with Korean Air. Employee didn't know the rules, I showed here copy of the letter (we had original too). She called supervisor then another supervisor and that was it. When landing in US, CBP officer asked for original letter. Showed it to him and that was it.

    I did in Lublin but every city will do that. For example you can check this site (I didn't go with this company). But they have pricing and English language page https://www.medicover.pl/pakiety-medyczne/ Another company in Warsaw. https://diag.pl/katalogi/placowki/miasta-badania-krwi/warszawa/ https://www.english.diag.pl/?_ga=2.127713101.1194866933.1673307561-2061969342.1673307561 It looks like if you order the tests online you can save as much as 50% You can pick any type of test packages. https://diag.pl/sklep/ BTW - I don't work nor resell any of these products. Just helping fellow VJ member Search in google blood test in Warsaw and you will get a lot of results. Most, if not all companies in Poland provide websites in English. Good luck

    If your mother in law is now in Hungary/Poland/Czech/Romania ask her to do the test there. There are a lot of places where she can get it done. I actually did that while travelling to Europe last year. For regular blood test I've paid about $5. Did the test 7am and had the results by 2pm. Also I did the food allergy test. Tested for 100 common foods and paid for it about $50. The food allergy test results took 3 days and they've sent them to me via email. In US the same test starting at $350 and insurance is not covering it.

    We did. GC expired Sept 2022 and we've travelled with extension letter (ang expired GC). No problems in Bangkok at the check in for our return flight and no problem at the airport in US on our arrival.
