    Required Evidence - Eligibility Based on Marriage to a U.S. Citizen Provide a copy of the following if you are applying for naturalization based on your marriage to a U.S. citizen: 1. Evidence that your spouse has been a U.S. citizen for at least 3 years at the time you file your Form N-400. For example: A. Your spouse’s U.S. birth certificate (if your spouse has held U.S. citizenship since birth); B. Your spouse’s Certificate of Naturalization; C. Your spouse’s Certificate of Citizenship; D. Your spouse’s Form FS-240, Consular Report of Birth Abroad; or E. The biographical page of your spouse’s U.S. passport; 2.

    Please fill out your timeline. Why did you choose K-1 instead of CR-1? Just curious.

    There's a service called Argo Visa if you have money to burn. They are former consular officers do consults. They may be able to help him prepare. But, now he has a previous denied entry and he's married to a US citizen. What is your plan for his green card?

    I think this is far fetched. Look at timelines for your USCIS local here and on social media. My city seems to be 3 to 6 months from filing to interview. But things could change. Trump's recent social media rantings don't give comfort but who knows what he means in practice. Trump's words are like a Rorschach test, people see whatever they want. All we can do is take our best shot. Per USCIS Policy Manual "An applicant for naturalization is generally required to have been physically present in the United States for at least half the time for which his or her continuous residence is required." 3 years is 36 months divided by 2 equals 18 months. You can go over 18 months as long as you still have 50% in the USA. Until you get your Naturalization Certificate in hand, I would make sure you meet all the requirements for the N-400 on any given day, including physical presence of at least 50% of the time on US soil.

    I don't know much about transferring cases. According to this https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html. Cairo is scheduling DQ Nov. 2024. Meanwhile, it says Manila is on Aug. 2025. But, that is contrary to everything I've heard about Manila which is notoriously one of the slowest.

    Just wait for the one they ask for. Sucks but nothing you can do. If you do what you propose, it could delay things further as you'll have to wait for them to review it, issue an RFE, then respond to that, then wait for them to review again. Their case review time currently is very fast according to https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html but who knows what RFE review times are. I don't think it's worth the risk.

    Should be fine. Many folks leave off numbers. They might issue an RFIE if they need it. Don't leave the US until you get your travel permit or green card.

    She can still come and go while waiting for consular processing. It's also safer to consular process. You won't have to convince officer that the parent had immigrant intent before coming.
  32. JD2
    Why do you say that? Source?
  33. JD2
    Ask them to put that in writing for you on their stationary and notarized if possible.

    I think they are issuing NTAs on all denied I-751s? The USCIS Policy Manual discusses this situation: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-6-part-i-chapter-5 Scroll down to "2. Separated But Not Yet Divorced" then under that to "Initially Filed Joint Petition" If you read that section, it says the petitioner needs to proactively inform the office that receipted her petition that y'all are separated and getting a divorce. When she does get an RFE, if she doesn't have the divorce decree yet, I'd provide as much as possible. Affidavit from both parties saying y'all are working through the process. Anything from the judge that you can get. At a minimum she can get a copy of the filed divorce complaint and court documents showing the matter is active. The hope is they will accept that and not deny it but then issue another RFE down the line. But, provide the divorce decree asap don't wait for a second RFE.

    Consider getting Global Entry before departure. Some people get conditionally approved within days and can get an interview near their home. So it is worth a shot even with an imminent trip.
  36. JD2
    Unfortunately, without the court reports, I don't think we can help much.
  37. JD2
    Is there a reason you don't want to wait? For us, it's petitioning for parent and we have international travel planned for next year. I was looking at the timelines here and on Facebook groups and the interview and oath could easily fall during our trips if we wait. I can't find a case for anyone who successfully rescheduled either interview or oath.
