The chances of being denied boarding with the valid I-551 stamp is extremely slim, imo. I've also not personally heard of Air New Zealand causing LPRs issues, regardless of their documentation (others here can correct me if I am wrong). There are a few airlines that we have seen be problematic at times with the extension letters + expired green card on VJ, but not the I-551 stamp. I did a little googling and could only find a couple of instances of people discussing being denied boarding with the stamp. Both threads were over 7+ years old.

Congrats! Almost to the finish line 🤩

Additional info that would be helpful: How bad was the speeding? I'm not sure if your reference to "overspeeding" is a normal speeding ticket or for excessive speeding Have you had any other traffic tickets of any kind since you've been an LPR? As @Mike E asked, what are the fines for the tickets you received? Why do you disagree with the tickets? (aka what would your basis for challenging the tickets be)

I believe they are referring to the documents available in the online account. If you filed N-400 online, there is a "Documents" tab where you can download/print notices you receive from USCIS. The electronic version will be added before a hard copy is received by mail. For example, my husband's biometric notice appeared online on 2/4 and we received the physical copy in the mail on 2/11. I attached a screenshot. Edit: I misread the post, sorry! Leaving this here though in case it helps someone.

Just to clarify, does the FIL live in the United States currently? And was he ever officially married to the MIL? I ask because you mention FIL might have had "multiple marriages". So was he ever actually legally married to MIL?

I didn't cut anything, I pasted the list of evidence of a bona fide marriage. You were previously saying bona fide marriage evidence isn't needed at all and you specifically said the IO doesn't care about leases or bank statements, which is patently false. You are ignoring 2 things: 1) that the online N-400 asks for marriage evidence 2) that the instructions for the paper N-400 says "you may submit copies" of those documents with the application You also haven't had your N-400 interview yet, but Crazy Cat's wife just had hers in December. And guess what? They added the marriage evidence to the online application.

It also says "Depending on the circumstances, you should bring certain documents to your interview. You may also submit copies of these documents with your application." When filing online, the N-400 specifically directs the filer to add evidence of the marriage.

The online N-400 instructions specifically ask filers under the 3 year rule to add evidence of marriage. Additionally, the N-400 instructions include the following: (1) Evidence that your spouse has been a U.S. citizen for at least 3 years at the time you file your Form N-400. Such evidence may include: a birth certificate (if your spouse never lost U.S. citizenship since birth), Certificate of Naturalization, Certificate of Citizenship, or Form FS-240 Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America; (2) Evidence of the termination of all your prior marriages; and (3) Evidence that you and your spouse have lived in marital union for at least 3 years at the time you file your Form N-400. Such evidence may include: (a) Joint bank and credit card statements; (b) Leases or mortgages; (c) Birth certificates of children; (d) Insurance policies; and (e) Internal Revenue Service (IRS)-certified copies of the income tax forms that you and your spouse filed for the past 3 years (or an IRS tax return transcript for the last 3 years). You are spreading bad information by saying that USCIS doesn't care about bank statements or lease agreements. Both of these types of evidence are specifically mentioned above.

I was going to mention the same. @Juls801 I know there are different rules that can apply with the military, but generally speaking you have to be an LPR 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen to apply for citizenship, not 2 years.

It was the transfer letter confirming the I-751 moved from SRC to NBC.

I agree with you, but state government also should not overstep. Personally I think believing in limited government on the federal level but being okay with infringing on freedoms/rights at the state level is bizarre. There are 100 reasons why it is difficult to move states, so it's not as simple as packing up the U-Haul (referring to Mike's comment above). This is why I do not agree with things like individual states trying to make gay marriage illegal or making abortion illegal carte blanche. These are very personal decisions that individuals should be able to make without government interference, regardless of if it is at the state level.

If you believe in the trinity, it makes more sense to refer to God as "they" anyway. I don't know enough about the Church of England to know if that is part of their theology though. How about getting rid of the blond, blue-eyed depictions of Jesus? lol

I will update here when I get the letter after work

I have a letter coming in the mail today from USCIS, from the Texas Service Center. I'm assuming it is about the I-751 being transferred to a new office. There is also a new "fingerprints were taken" update on the I-751, even though we already have that update. I assume the new office that has jurisdiction updated that as a formality.

Either click the "Case History" tab to see the accurate status, or go here to check: https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do

My husband has face wash, so I suppose he is ahead of the curve 😆 @laylalex Are you a fan of face serums? I bought a couple to try out for the first time ever a few weeks back and I'm curious about your thoughts.

Haha, I know exactly what you mean! That's good that your field office is closer though. Our field office is about an hour and a half drive, but that's not too bad. We'll be happy to go there one more time to get this all done!

I'm glad it worked out! Traveling that far just for biometrics would be a hassle. Our ASC is just ~20 minutes from where we live, so we're just going to wait until the scheduled time/date.

This has been happening for some people on and off since last week. However, it shows the accurate status if I click the "Case History" tab instead of viewing the "Case Status" tab. See screenshot: Secondly, you can check your status without logging in here: https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do You just need the receipt # to do so.

Checked case status today and saw that the pending I-751 has been transferred to a new office.

We got the update that the I-751 was transferred to another office yesterday. I'm taking it as a good sign since we filed the N-400 on January 27th.

Just FYI my account has been showing that error for a few days now but if you check your receipt # without logging in, it will display correctly. https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do

Yes it did, it went from 18 months down to 11 months.

We got a biometrics notice in the USCIS account today too. Biometrics is scheduled 2/23 at 3:00PM.

Yes, my I-751 and all older cases have had that message since yesterday. N-400 displays normally.
