  1. You are voluntarily trading a document that shows evidence of status for 10 years for one that usually has evidence for just one year or less. This compromises your ability to operate in society: drive, travel, get a mortgage, get and keep a job, etc. Once you give up your gc, the 48 month extension letter is useless. You might be thinking USCIS is going to process your I-90. In most cases like yours that does not happen. In addition there is an outside chance, USCIS will deny your I-90 and I-751 because it insists your 10 year gc was not issued in error. Well if you gave it away, what then? File I-90, and hope USCIS does not charge fee. Why shouldn’t it charge a fee? You made the choice. Either way most I-90s take 2 years. By all means, surrender your 10 year gc when DHS commands. You did your part: you paid money for a gc, you filed I-90. It is on USCIS and not you to fix its mistake. I didn’t think you were serious. It was clear to me that: is the only reasonable choice.
  2. She is exempt from the english test. She is exempt from the full civics test. She just has to memorize the 20 answers to the simplified test and grt 6 of 10 right. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/questions-and-answers/OoC_65-20_Questions _2008_Civics_Test_V1.pdf
  3. Well I am sold. All the counter experiences well documented elsewhere must be fake news. Including my own. This thread has run its course. OP has disappeared, and now the dominant advice is to not worry about BP. I will not participate in another SpaceAge calamity. I am out.
  4. Agreed. There are some here who disagree claiming that this breaks good moral character. I am not seeing it. LPRs — with green cards that have errors they did not cause — should not be required to forgo entitlements. If an LPR with an unexpired 10 year gc can get a government benefit, so can an LPR with an unexpired 2 year green card. It is when a green card expires that we see stark differences in how the law treats the 10 year gc holder versus the 2 year gc holder.
  5. Generally it does. When you change your name, oath must be administered by a judge. If your USCIS district always uses federal judges for oaths, not a problem. Otherwise … there are fewer that 1000 federal judges in country trying cases for a population of 350 million people. Getting time from a judge for the minority of applicants who want a name change is difficult. Some field offices, especially those with same day oath, pretty much refuse to do oaths with name chances. You can expect your oath to take several more months.
  6. I have never been stopped in southern California, but I have seen BP patrol vehicles on I-10 in California. I assume it is denser on I-8. If you live south of I-10 or you drive on I-10 or I-8, you either carry evidence of lawful presence or you stay home. I have had stops where I had to produce my gc.
  7. If USCIS learns of it, it could: * deny the case * hold it for resolution Pressing charges is not a thing in America. Only a prosecutor presses charges. Yes if USCIS learns of it. If the report is made before her I-485 interview and she fails to disclose, this would be a material misrepresentation and she could be subject to a permanent ban.
  8. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2019/visa-bulletin-for-may-2019.html It Feb 2006 then. So in 4 years it improved by a year. So I would not expect your PD to be current for at least 5 years.
  9. Sure why not? “Out of Africa”, specifically sub-Saharan Africa, is the scientific consensus for the origin of (edit: good lord, the name of the modern human species is back listed on this site) “H.” sapiens. Race is a matter of self identification by law. There is no scientific basis for the term “black”.
  10. Today’s status is: Application Status: Approved The U.S. Department of State approved your application for your passport book and card. We're now printing your passport book and card and preparing to give it to you. You requested expedited service when you applied. Expedited service can take 7-9 weeks. Our processing times begin the day we receive your application at a passport agency or center, not the day you mail your application or apply at a local acceptance facility. You should receive your passport book and card on or around 04/12/2023. Your application locator number is Xxx As noted before we did receive passport book and card. This latest update is bizarre. The lack of mention of certificate of citizenship.
  11. The constitutional republic died when BHO introduced DACA and the courts refused to stop it.
  12. While I agree people in California have suffered greatly under the heels of Emperor Newsom, their presence there was voluntary
