Thanks! Hope so too. It has never been our plan to file for naturalization. Sometimes I think they delay things just to force people into doing that?

Not yet. I think the fingerprints status was a glitch as prior that it said the case was ready to schedule an interview. I'm honestly fine if they keep sending extension letters.

Someone please clarify why am I getting this ad on VJ? I don't know this woman!

We're WAC too from March 2021 and we're stuck on fingerprints status since October last year. Oh well.

Good luck! Hope that gets things moving. We are trying to avoid that route and rather wait.

So far it is the way to talk to a person rather than a recording. If it does not work, please come back to report.

Then you have plenty of time to focus on the wedding and everything it entails. 😊 Everything will be fine.

Absolutely, no worries. Guess you have not married yet?

You should receive everything through mail - you know, that old thing of sending pieces of paper in envelopes-. 😝 And from what I recall, you can update that on DS-160. Do you already have USPS informed delivery?

So you called customer service, said "Infopass" and were not connected to an actual human being?

I have never read about that specific detail being an issue. In general, cases are seen as a whole, and depending on the country of origin of the spouse, they might pay more attention to certain details: age gap, religion, etc. In all honesty, unless one had a postdoctorate and the other was illiterate, I doubt they do care about academic achievements.

We're WAC from April 2021. Our case was transferred a year ago to schedule an interview -while others around us were approved in February 2022-. So you're not alone. Even though not from the same service center, some of us are still waiting.

Once you file you'll receive a letter that will extend the validity of your GC an extra 48 months -probably more as waiting times have been increasing-. If the extension letter expired before your case is processed/approved, you can get an ADIT "stamp" that serves as GC. So, as long as you file for ROC you can work and travel. The average processing time will depend on the service center that will process your case and an interview should not be necessary unless you don't provide enough evidence or are chosen randomly.

If she is not planning on residing full time, why then going through the whole permanent residence process?

1. Disclose (as @OldUsersaid, no choice there) 2. I think either would work (the important thing is explaining where the mistake is and include the evidence) 3. Always send photocopies

You can always file a writ of mandamus to "force" them into taking a decision.

Say "Infopass".

Staple a plastic card to a passport? Definitely no.

No. You need to call customer service and request the stand alone paper ADIT to be sent to your home.

I come here to hang out with all the quirky characters that roam the site. I'm particularly keen on soap opera like cases so crazy, that seem made up. Also enjoy the fights among members, who exchange sometimes aggressive messages in a curious attempt to be the one who's right. The forum is pure fun. And if one can help and get the likes, pretty fulfilling. 😆

Not happy that you - or anyone- has to go through this, but I'm glad you finally got that thing. Insane that you had to insist for them to send it.

The process is very complex but it is certainly extremely inefficient. There are plenty of publicly available audits and reports that describe in full detail the problems and possible solutions, but it is clear not much has been done. One of the main issues, IMO, is that there is no punitive system in place that could deter USCIS components -read contractors, employees- from messing up things. Basically, if someone somewhere along the way messes up, there are no consequences. No one is fired or fined or even reprimanded for losing documents, not processing cases in order or not following policy. The ones that end up paying -financially, physically and emotionally- are the immigrants directly affected. The rest, just wait for their journey to end and don't want to do anything with USCIS once they're done. And the general public -who is constantly manipulated with immigration issues for political gain- are completely clueless about what the whole immigration phenomenon implies and they don't really care enough to get acquainted.

If based on marriage and approved before the 2 year anniversary, yes.
