Howdy y'all! I have yet another question: I have a stepson. On the N400 application it is asking me about his info, which I provided. However, when I do get to the "evidence" part it is asking me for his birth certificate and evidence of child support. It says "if you don't provide this evidence your application may be delayed". I can definitely provide his birth certificate, but of course my name will not be in there. Also, my husband is the one paying child support. I can provide the evidence that he's been paying, but is it necessary for this application? Can I submit it as it is and then provide it at the interview? @Family any ideas?

Yayyyy let us know how it goes. Mine opens this Sunday, so I will be in the same boat in just a week!

Yes, they will get an interview. I am almost certain that USCIS has phone interpreters that can assist your parents.

Not to be controversial, but: In Jim Hacking's video the reason for the denial is not the timing of the interview. The issue is that the applicant had a pending 751 and the officer wrongfully denied the naturalization based on a pending 751. Wrong denial, of course, but nothing to do with the timing of the interview itself. On the Reddit link I see two issues. First off, by the time he made the post, OP's friend hadn't received the official denial letter. I have seen plenty of times where there has been a misunderstanding with what the officer actually said, and the denial letter fully explaining the reason. In addition, if you read further down, OP explains what the issue is: No, she had to apply again. They denied her application. Her case was special. She had a green card before she got married to a citizen. I think the online application tool assumes the applicant got their green card thru marriage therefore they have been married for at least 3 years which she hadn’t been she she applied 3 months early. It’s a rare thing but unfortunately for her she will have to go through everything all over again. She’s waiting a week to reapply just to be safe. Clear as water and rightfully denied. When applying online, this person marked the option of the three year rule, for which you have to have been married and living in marital union for three years, which she hadn't. She had only been married for two years and nine months. Like you said, it's up to people of the want to take the risk, which, imho, is low.

Did you mean 2009 or 2019?

Your friends seem very cosmopolitan!

It does make sense. Even when N400s go fast, they don’t seem to adjudicate them if you haven’t hit the three years. Im applying next Sunday and my dream would be to be done with everything (Oath ceremony included) by August… but who knows?!

Hey Sarge, any updates since your 751 made it to NBC?

Not necessarily. But of course. When she uses the B1 B2 to visit she needs to be honest with CBP if asked if she’s got relatives in here. Entirely up to discretion of CBP

The law says that coming to the US on a B1 B2 with the intent to adjust is fraud. The law doesn’t care what you think.

There are some countries that are high fraud, especially in Africa. Could be It is relevant to demonstrate that they want to be together regardless of where

No, I renewed my passport just last month and they only required my Argentinian ID. If what you’re saying is true (I don’t doubt it), it is just a reminder of how stupid bureaucracy works in Argentina

Check with Colombian Embassy, but if it’s like Argentina, the passport needs to match your BC. Therefore, you’d have to modify your bc, for which you’d have to go to Argentina and have your marriage registered there. You’ll be stuck in the limbo for years. Not worthy imho when you can just buy your tickets with the current name on your passport.

Not everyone wants to apply for N400

Yeah I do get that it is to prevent marriage fraud in theory , but with all the time they’re taking, they are allowing 751 applicants to continue on marriage fraud since they take so long to process cases.

If you look at my timeline you can see how long LIN takes for the extension letter and what I had to do for my biometrics. Heads up, my last update was March 28 last year when they reused my biometrics and it’s been radio silence ever since. I’m applying for naturalization at the beginning of February, so I’m assuming that might move things a little bit

Good. So now they’re going to roll out the 36 month extension letter to all us 2022 filers, instead of using that man force to work on 751 cases that should be approved in two days at most

Mumbai is super slow... I'd try to attend by any means possible.

So what’s your question?

Wait about 30 business days before starting to worry

Whats OTP?

Have the father of the child sign up for VJ.

OP said he wasn't married on his B1/B2....

I thought she didn’t need a re-entry permit with an approved IR-1, because OP would already be a permanent resident the moment they land, no?

Updates?
