I don't really see how this logic makes sense, there are three options the way I see it: Don't file N400 and wait forever (I think 40 months or so would make sense at this point) File N400 at the three year mark and wait maximum of 1 year (talking worst cases here) File N400 at 5 year mark I still think the N400 option would be the best one. If it does not DELAY your I751 then what do you have to lose?

I'm sorry but your argument does not make much sense. Avg wait time in potomac is 28 months, this number is very likely to increase with the 48 months extensions and how the agency does not care about I751 at this point. The average wait time according to VJ for N400 is around 163 days for the past 3 months. At worst there will be a one month limbo state added to your wait time for N400 because of your pending I751 but I don't think there is ANY valid reason that applying for N400 would delay anything at this point. This may have been true 7 years ago or so when I751 would take 6 months max, but at this point I think uscis cares about getting as many new "Americans" as they can to somehow boost their immigrant loving image and distance themsevlves from the Trump days. The N400 plays into this narrative hence why you see a dramatic decrease in the processing times but removing conditions has nothing to do with this issue hence why its been deprioritized.

I don't think the withdrawl would trigger this. If the ex did send something it would result in an interview,rfe, denial or even the evidence being ignored. I don't think the ex has any say in a withdrwal.

I was very stoked to see the USCIS try to implement their risk based approach, now I think this is the algorithm they follow hahaha: Increase the extensions to 48 months for everyone Don't touch cases for around 2 years at least OR when they naturalize If they naturalize do Combo Interview and boast as a liberal goverment how easier it is to become naturalized vs Trump Years (N400 is getting so quick to adjust these days and averages 5 months) If they don't naturalize and are still married waive interview after 2 years or so of waiting If they divorce and have good evidence waive If bad evidence and divorce or bad evidence and married RFE or interview I guess deny the rest? Technically it is not faster, just letting cases ferment, push people to apply for N400 and allocate resources to more "liberal party values" such as DACA, N400's or Asylum casess.

That is awesome. I think the only reserve I have about this issue is having my name on a public record

Where did you get the 90 days from? Serious question as to why not 180 days or 60 days or whatever.

When you apply for N400 the local office has juristiction and potomac is irrelavant. I also have been assigned to YSC so I do feel your pain but I don't think N400+Being at Potomac is any worse than N400+Other service centers. But I can also be wrong, just like I was wrong about risk based approach increasing the speed.

I don't think countries are relevant for I751 or N400. I485 or Asylum cases are different but if you actually think they spend more than a few hours on each case (at most) then you probably don't know how a govt agency works. I think I751 just sit collecting dust until someone opens them to USCIS we are all LPR and there is no sense of urgency to look into our cases or even find the originating country. This info becomes relavant after they start looking at our case and at that point its either approved, RFE or denial.

Evidence wise it seems fine.Just collect some info from the time you submitted I751 up to now and collect as much as possible in case of RFE or having to file a fresh I751.

If anything that would help your case since you jointly own the house but she took out the mortgage. In a sham marriage it would be the other way around and if the USC puts herself at risk it does show it is a legitimate marriage. However write a letter and put the whole thing mortgage, deed and payments in a HOUSE PACKAGE with a cover letter explaining the case as the officers don't have the patience to figure it out. In my case my wife cosigned around 45K of my student loans and I included that.

I understand receiving the letter is a big deal for many and on an individual basis people would worry if the extension did not get to them. It was also cool to see people receiving the letters in the begining and knowing they don't have to worry about getting a stamp,etc. At this point however most threads are just spammed with people updating that they have received the extension and this really does not provide any meaningful data point or useful info. I get that it may give people a sense of progress but in reality I don't think its helping anyone other than the spam content. At this point the only updates would be if you don't get the letter and are asking for help or some progress on your case in my opinion. Feel free to disagree, I am just offering my thoughts here.

I would not be surprosed if 36/48 month becomes the norm and normal cases take upwards of 5/6 years. The 48 month extension is proof of what is about to come.

hahahaha. I think 40% to 50% marriages in the US lead to divorce. Divorce is very common...... Also as fyi I think maybe around 2 to 3 percent of I751's get denied and even after denial it's the discretion of the judge to revoke it which is not that easy. So perhaps even less than 1% get actually denied and maybe revoked (some end up filing another I751) SO THE CHANCES ARE VERY LOW. The border officer is probbaly more concered with his/her mortgage than your divorce and doesn't care. Obviously this would not be the case if you were a member of the communist party or some organization that was federally prosecuted or something, But divorce is HIGHLY unlikely to lead to any suspicion with the border guy.

I751's have an extremely low denial rate so you are probably fine,that being said it comes down to how long and messy do you want your I751 to get. The more evidence and concrete proof you have the less likely you will encounter any weird questions from USCIS. I strongly suggest that you spend the weekend thinking about possible scenarios, and gathering as much evidence/info as possible. This is not so much about the effort but about how careful you are to plan it out. The actual job is rather irrelevant, focus on things that have a higher return on your effort.

Your job does not matter as long as you can prove you are a person of decent character (no criminal records,drug use,...). That being said as I have stated above having your spouse help out or at the very least not be resentful will go a long way in helping your case. With the recent updates the I751 may take around 3-4 years to complete and having an ex who's resentful will not help. If you are helping her find a better living situation I would also ask her for a sworn testimony regarding the legitmacy of the marriage.

No one knows your situation better than yourself. It is best to spend a few days thinking about the other evidence you can gather and consult with the folks here. Some easy to get evidence that I submitted with my case were: Listing my wife as emergency contact in my work portal Post cards that were addressed to both of us or wedding invitations. Remember only God knows the true intentions of people marrying each other. The only reason USCIS requires proof is NOT to prove the legitamcy of your marriage but to make it harder for fraudsters to marry for the sake of the green card. The more proof people have the higher the bar will get for some random Joe to marry someone for a Greencard. Spend the weekend thinking about what else you can submit and I am pretty sure you will have a few more items to add to the list. Also start making a list of possible people who can provide affidavits. Last piece of advice is to try to have an amicable divorce. Having a resentful spouse on your back will probably not help your case if she/he were to contact USCIS. Godspeed

You are legally entitled to have whatever has your name on in terms of the documents. Bank statements, tax and house lease. As others have mentioned the pictures are icing on the cake unless it was with relatives, vacations or things that are harder to obtain than a simple selfie (and even then it's not that significant). Personally I don't think job title or credit scores are given any consideration however the job title usually may have two benefits: You can afford better lawyer with a better job/money. You usually have the means to provide more "Evidence". E.g buying a house together vs living with your parents, or going on vacations together, sadly the kind of documents that usually prove the bonadfide component are those related to money or those that are easier to procure if you have more money (joint insurance for example or beneficiary with 401K).

Most family judges and divorce lawyers don't know the immigration process nor care about it. If you are not trolling this forum (at this point it seems that way) you have said something very very very very stupid to the judge to be noteworthy on your case. I know a few people who got their divorce due to having an affair but got their I751's still approved because their actual marriages were bona fide. So either there is something very very wrong with your case and you did something super stupid or you are just having a laugh at our expense. At this point I don't care either way and refuse to engage with your posts. Best of luck

First I suggest you seek professional help (medication) to treat your anxiety panic attacks. Second is to get another lawyer as suggested by almost every single member here via the means explained to you. If you continue to ask the same questions without taking any actions it leads others to think you are not really after improving your situation and are simply asking for pity and people in general have a very limited and short pity span until it turns to disgust. The paths are highlighted in front of you. You are free to choose.

Wake up. This denial and dealing with is far more important than your vacation. If that is how you want to prioritize your life be my guest , but don't expect any other results if your biggest concern right now is going on a vacation abroad.

Before you meet with your ideally new lawyer try to think of all the weak grounds that led to your denial and write them down. Your lawyer can draft a letter addressing those issues, you don't have to let us know and it should stay between you and your lawyer but did you ever: Write somewhere or tell your husband you married him for a GC? Straight up went and lived with someone else after you got the GC? It sounds like you had very weak evidence and your husband somehow possibly made the situation worse by informing USCIS. The combination of divorce, weak evidence, angry ex and your not so well chosen decision in the lawyer can have dire consequences. Since you cannot fix the divorce your best bet is to fix the other parts. Last but not least, it seems you are somewhat suffering from anxiety which can lead to very poor decision making, if money is not an issue seeking professional help may even help. Best of Luck

Is your attorney an actual attorney or are they a paralegal/ lawyer outside of the U.S ? I have seen numerous "attornies" who have not passed the bar but somehow pose themselves as attornies to vulnerable communities. Make sure whoever you hire as attorney is skilled in immigration matters and has passed the bar (basic requirements). While the cover letter they provide may look generic it is very important that it covers the legal grounds necessary for your case to be reconsidered for approval. Hiring a bad attorney at this point may do more harm than good, we are not talking about throwing your money in the trash can here,this could jepordize your entire case.

Why did you guys wait that long to apply for N400? Just curious

I dont think the N400 issue is related to the inquiry you just made. A USCIS officer asking for I751 from YSC is very different than some person "inquiring" about their case. I am not saying you are wrong but the rationale is somewhat wrong.

Congrats. It does seem however that if you don't get biometrics reused/taken within the first month your case is going to collect dust until you file N400. Every fast ROC that I have seen is following that pattern.
