    This isn’t a gc interview

    So, not a lawyer. You are certain this letter won’t damage a case for de novo review?
  3. Mike E
    Who will write this letter?

    I assume there is no name change. If so, sorry, not sorry. Otherwise … WoM is the inferior play. N-400 cases, distinct from other types of cases, have a powerful tool called de novo review, meaning your attorney can file in federal court to have your entire case reviewed, and at the judge’s discretion, grant your citizenship. Rarely the judge will take your oath of citizenship right there in the court room. For an egregious case like yours, it would not surprise me. Usually though the judge will approve your case, and order USCIS to schedule oath by a deadline. That is if it gets that far. The cost to USCIS to have you come to its field office for 5 minutes and take oath is a 10-100 times less than the cost of paying an attorney to defend you. USCIS will try to settle out of court. Unless they show you a naturalization certificate, and offer to let you take oath right there (even if the offer comes outside the court room) pass. Do the USCIS ombudsman thing, and after 30 days pursue de novo review.

    If she is approved in absentia, then she needs to return home as soon as possible and tell the CBP officer she is an LPR. She will likely avoid the I-193 fee. There have been several of these cases on visajourney. It always ends well. She should ask for an I-551 stamp at her interview.

    yes that is the downside of K-1

    One week will not jeopardize your 3 month residency requirement. 7 weeks will.

    One cannot scan that which one does not possess. Some USCIS files are stored at NARA; this has been well reported in the news and discussed at length on visajourney.

    Google is your friend. Understand that your file of records is literally a collection of papers in its own file box, and it can only exist in one place. So if a USCIS ISO wants to work on your case and wants your file, and instead an FOIA worker is processing your case, well back to the back of the queue for you. It is also the case that an FOIA has been known to unstuck a case because the file is stuck in a limestone cave operated by the National Archives, and for a time they were operating under severe covid restrictions.

    1. From time N-400 is received by USCIS 2. Yes. You will need to be in your new state for 3 months before your case can be processed. 3. It can.

    You are actually the expert here: you did it: you brought your SO to America legally, and married her

    The problem is once the K-1 arrives, the petitioner does not have enough for I-864. And then it ends in teara.

    “IF you have K-2 children who will also be filing for removal of conditions at the same time, you may include them and use only one form and only one fee for the form.”

    Well chimps do have a case …

    Only $400,000 for every black person in America. She’s colonizing collaborating racist. She just committed political suicide. Needs to be $10M per black person. Good lord.

    Probably going to start off with his priest

    Could be an RFE. The morning of her interview, I handed my fiancee a certified copy direct from the court house that issued my decree, and the CO did not ask for it. Good luck.

    It takes 2 years to get a re-entry permit. I did not say for her to wait for her permit. I said to wait for the receipt.
  20. Mike E
    I am glad my wife are U.S. citizens with fully updated SSNs Life will hard by 2033 for aliens with authorized presence. Illegal aliens will have it made though.
  21. Mike E
    Sigh. You are not reading. Again: File for a re-entry permit. Wait for the receipt before leaving
  22. Mike E
    In America, still. Indeed, and yet it’s apparently ok if landlords restrict tenants to U.S. citizens. 🧩ed p.s. Last time i was in a regular hotel was Portugal. And they wanted my foreign passport. To send to the national police. One of reasons people want to live here is so that they can at least pretend the police aren’t tracking every move. I am out.
  23. Mike E
    You mean, like exiting the arrival hall, walking to airline check in desk and flying back that day? Russian roulette. Apply for a re-entry permit. Last time: no. I would not book Turkish Airlines with anything less than an unexpired gc in hand.
  24. Mike E
    no You will be fine if you can show evidence you will earn 65K in the 365 days following the interview.
  25. Mike E
    Yes The majority of her time needs to be spent in U.S. Or else: The latter
