  • Our Story
    I'm a Canadian and British Dual-Citizen currently living in Washington as a US Permanent Resident, I had met my husband online in 2016 in an IT Professionals Telegram group, where both of us happened to be furries who enjoyed running home-based server and enterprise networking projects. We built up a close friendship over the months of 2017 where I visited him out in Washington State, and we vacationed together in Vancouver, BC while I was going through the immigration process to Canada.


    I wasn't sure if I was ready to make the big jump of getting married, but I wanted to try living out on the West Coast and see how well I would adapt hence why I came to Canada. Three years later, the hubby moved up from Wenatchee to Blaine, WA to close the gap. Back in January I proposed during a romantic dinner out in Bellingham, and a month later due to the COVID-19 pandemic becoming a concern we decided to tie the knot early with a small ceremony in Stanley Park.

    As we came out of the pits of the pandemic, I had my US Visa interview in Montreal in August 2021 and moved out to Blaine to live with my husband while continuing to work remotely for my employer up in Canada. I was sworn in as a Canadian citizen on June 21st 2022, having benefited by recent changes to the Canadian citizenship Act which permits nonresident PR's to apply and gain citizenship so long as all other requirements are met.

    My interview just got scheduled. Nov 19th! Let's goooo!

    I have this issue too, I'm going on a trip in early December. But I'm not going to live my life on the whims of the US government. If there's a clash, I'll reschedule. If they deny and I have to refile, so be it. I don't -need- to be a citizen as a LPR status does not expire. But ymmv on your own priorities.

    My case is a tad messy, I'm employed in Canada and work remotely and live in the US. I do have a lot of trips entered on the N-400 too, but I'm well within the physical presence requirements (less than 90 days outside over the 3 year period). There was also a name change on my application which I'm trying to cancel as I saw Seattle only do judicial ceremonies once per year. I ended up doing it via the courts instead. However, I haven't really found a good way to tell USCIS of that change. So with all of that I think they're passing over my case for 'easier' cases. At least that's my guess. 😕

    Yes, I've got this note too. Seattle FO, seems their processing times dropped from 6 months to 5.5 months. But hey I don't see it haha.
  8. Kai G. Llewellyn
    Seattle Field Office here filed under the 3yr rule, nothing yet. I was hopeful that we'd be done and dusted before the election but I think I've given up that hope now. But I'm hopeful I'll get something in December.

    Has anyone who filed in the 90 day early filing window had any movement on their case? My 3 year anniversary was Aug 9th, so I'm hoping there'll be some movement from the Seattle office soon.

    Joinin' the May filers' club! Filed my N-400 online today, my local office is Seattle! Immediately got biometrics reuse and NOA1. Hoping this won't take too long! It'd be nice to vote in November haha!
  19. Kai G. Llewellyn
    Update: Appears to be fixed, I was able to submit the N-400 tonight!

    10 Year GC received on Saturday May 11th. Didn't get a tracking number from USCIS until it showed up in Informed Delivery - Just sat on 'Card was produced' until it was finally delivered.
  24. Kai G. Llewellyn
    As someone who works in IT it would be exceptionally poor form to start work two days before the maintenance window and for it to be 3 days rather than two hours, buuuut this is USCIS we're talking about haha. My guess is that something did break and they scheduled a maintenance window to fix the underlying broken part of the system but their own change management probably required a 48 hour notice before taking down still-working systems (because it only seems to be application submission, everything else seems to be working).

    Someone on Reddit reported that the online I-765 form was giving them the same error, looks like online filing is officially borked right now. I can't find an email address to report this to them, so I just hope they're aware of this. I did call it out on Social Media however.
  27. Kai G. Llewellyn
    Yep. 😕

    Yes, me too. Guess their system is broken. Whee I deleted my form and recreated it all to find that it wasn't just me.
  30. Kai G. Llewellyn
    I think universally at this point it's always best to file N400 to get the I-751 moving along. I see no benefit in waiting on I-751 approval before filing for Natz.

    Case approved today, on a Saturday no less! Card's being produced, I was expecting a much longer wait. No interview either, onto the N-400 next month!
