  1. No, they won't. It is a different agency. Get appointment with SSA and update your name on social security card to match name on green card. It's easier to do when your GC is still not expired. Could have been done the moment you got your 2 year GC. Your SS card probably also says: "Valid for employment only with DHS authorization". You can remove this wording when you change name.
  2. You are an immediate relative of US citizen. - https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-eligibility/green-card-for-immediate-relatives-of-us-citizen As long as you disclosed your overstay during adjustment, it was forgiven and you have nothing to worry about.
  3. I recommend finding somebody who makes more than this, so clearly qualifies.
  4. I remember my officer's name. She introduced herself as well as there was a nameplate on her desk. My N-652 had officer's name. The same box was checked and I had same day oath. I don't think you have to worry, it's only been few days. Start worrying if you don't hear anything by mid January 2026.
  5. Read instructions carefully, this section is optional and depends on answers given for 10a - 10i
  6. This status is shown on nearly all cases, it's not new
  7. Agreeing with @Dashinka At leadt get state ID so you have proof of address. It's a good document to have in general.
  8. I'd follow the instructions. Definitely send response by recorded mail. If something happens, you have proof of delivery. If USCIS online system has a glitch and docs dissapear, how are you going to prove you ever responded to RFE?
  9. I qualified under both too, but picked general provision (5 year rule) because less evidence is needed, it's a lot simpler case, fewer questions about marriage asked and my spouse wasn't required to be there for interview (for 3 year rule it's recommended they also come). Good luck and let us know how it goes!
  10. @bernilli Out of curiosity, why didn't you file under general provision (5 year rule)? If you're LPR since 2019, you might have been eligible for a while now. You will be asked civics questions, some general questions about yourself and your travel plus few questions about marriage.
  11. Sorry about that. It happens. Hopefully you will get a new interview date soon!
  12. No, you absolutely don't need to wait for I-751 approval. 3 years after "Residence since" date you can file N-400 even if I-751 is still pending. Sometimes you can file 90 day early, that is if you lived with spouse as married for 3+ years on early filing date. I'd include all I-751 receipts and write a cover letter so officer knows your situation. N-600 for each kid is highly recommended after kids become citizens. It is more expensive than N-400, but they won't have an option for N-400 unless you remain LPR until they reach 18. N-600 is ultimate proof of their citizenship. Doesn't have to be filed immidiately. Let me know if you want to learn more.
  13. Kids cannot apply based on marriage. They have to wait for 5 years if they are over 18. If under, they will become citizens once you naturalize
  14. I'm sorry you had to go through painful memories again @Happy1982 I always warn VAWA applicants, but some say they won't be asked anything pertaining abuse due to protections etc. The good thing it is now over. Thank you for sharing your experience
  15. Totally get your frustration, but be mentally ready for AOS which can take as long, and ROC which is even longer. The number of cases filed is huge, so it does take a while to go through each one of them. Plus there's more emphasis on detecting fraud nowadays. I smile when people say it takes 3 years to become a citizen based on marriage. 3 years it's just statutory period to qualify. Add another 2-3 years on top of that to know the more realistic timeline...
