Greencard-22

Not sure if I can ask this here, but this question is for my fellow January filers who already applied for their passports. Did y’all get your supporting documents back yet? I did my Oath in August and had my appt for passport 2 weeks after. Received passport two weeks ago and was wondering how long it’d take for my supporting documents. It’s saying up to 8 weeks online but just wanted to know if anyone who applied received it back earlier than that. Thanks.

My interview was on a Friday, and the IO said he couldn’t make a decision on my case as of yet because he still had to go over my I-751 (which he had on his desk). He said it’d take maybe 2 weeks or so for a decision. I logged into my USCIS account on Saturday night (the next day) and saw that my case was approved, and Oath had already been scheduled for 2 weeks away. A lot of others who also interviewed on the same day I did, also had their oath at the same time.

Started this thread 2 years ago in Oct when I filed my I-751. Didn’t receive my permanent GC until after I filed my N-400 and passed the interview. Had my Oath ceremony yesterday and I’m officially done with the process. So very thankful for everyone and their advice. Goodluck to everyone still on this journey!

Had my Oath yesterday in Brooklyn. Two weeks after my interview. It’s been a journey. Goodluck to everyone!

Finally finished!!! Had my Oath Ceremony yesterday. Applied under 3yr rule. Thanks to everyone from the I-751 forum to the N-400 forum. It was relieving at times to read everyone’s experiences and advice. It helped me to stay calm albeit impatient at times lol. Thanks everyone.

That’s great! Congrats

That is wonderful news! Congrats!! Were you also allowed in the interview with him? And if yes, did they ask you anything or just him?

Is this comment even necessary?

He and my mom laughed at this. They have been getting similar reactions from ppl who don’t know the full situation.

No he hasn’t. Wasn’t sure the next steps and how to proceed. He hasn’t gotten his interview yet at the embassy. He’s in Trinidad. Should he email the US consulate in Trinidad now? The DNA testing is part of the surrogacy process. So he has to do it now. Yes, the timing is amazing!

Thanks everyone for your responses. I did look at the link last night and was a little confused lol. Appreciate all the insight everyone is giving. To clarify: Why I said he the sole parent - My brother had his baby through a surrogate. Part of the process is getting a DNA test to verify that he is the father and he is provided with the birth certificate. The “mother” was an egg donor.

He’s still unmarried and he’s the sole parent. Thank you. Will check it out.

Not sure if I’m posting in the right forum. I apologize if I’m not. Just thought I’d post here for a little guidance before considering paying for an immigration lawyer. My mom is a GC holder and she had applied for my brothers GC (unmarried sons over 21). Their case became current 2 years ago and we sent in all the supporting docs, form and AOS to NVC last year. We’re now just waiting for their interview at the embassy. My question is, one of my brothers just had a baby girl, two weeks ago. Can we add her on to the petition with him or is it too late? Does anyone know what steps should be taken? Would appreciate any feedback. I’m the one that has been doing all the paperwork for my mom (the petitioner) and my brothers (applicants), that’s why I’m asking. Thanks

That’s great! Can I ask, what your processing time was online right before you got your interview date? Filed late Jan 2023 Bio mid Feb After bio, it gave a timeline of 8 months. A month in, it changed to 7 months but the 2 month mark just came and went and it’s still saying 7 months. Just wondering if your timeline was changing and what it was, right before you got the interview. Hope I’m making sense.

We do this a lot of the times. We use our joint account to pay household bills, credit cards, etc. We hardly deposit our checks/cash and usually just transfer from personal accounts. Did she make a big deal about it? Do you think we should take a personal bank statement with us? Also, congrats on being finished. We filed I-751 a month apart and I’m so happy it’s over for you guys! We filed our N-400 in Jan 2023 instead of in September 2022, which was our 90 days period. Hoping to see progress soon. Congrats again

Hey everyone, Might be traveling to Italy soon and was wondering if anyone had any issues with airlines coming back to NY. Applied for N-400 but still have pending I-751 with new 48 months extension. The two options I’m considering are Delta or American Airlines. Travelled last year and had no issues with JetBlue but that’s not one of the options I’m finding. If anyone has travelled with those two airlines from Europe without any problems, would appreciate your feedback. Thanks

Hey Everyone, Thought I would start this thread for all my fellow October filers. Hope we can all share our progress along the way while also helping each other out, if any of us have any questions. We sent out our I-751 package yesterday. Was pricey to send it express mail but my husband was fed up with me only fiddling with it and making changes, so he was relieved to get it out of the house lol. Our package consisted of: Cover Letter Personal Check for 680 G-1145 Form I-751 Conditional GC - mine US Passport - hubby Marriage Certificate Bank Cards for Joint Acc Bank statements for checking account from the last two years Bank statements for savings account from the time it was open to present 2020 & 2019 tax returns with W-2 2020 & 2019 tax transcript Hubby’s drivers permit along with his previous ID showing current address My ID showing current address Renters Insurance for the Year 2020 Letter from landlord explaining our rental agreement Cable and phone bill for the last two years Credit cards for our Joint Acc Credit card statements for the last two years showing our activities Insurance cards for two years and also info on our current plan Two affidavit letters (only thing we sent that was original) 20 pictures That’s pretty much it. It’s a pretty big package with all the statements. We debated back and forth on what to send and after reading from people’s experiences here, we decided to be safe and send everything. Our package should get there by end of day Monday. Hopefully we’ll receive a notification by Tuesday at least. Will post any updates as this process goes along. Hope everyone else will as well. Best of luck to all of you!
