    I disagree, in my understanding GE is more about security and less about customs. GE is only available to citizens of select countries who exchange info about their citizens with US authorities. You may not be eligible for participation in the Global Entry program if you: * Provide false or incomplete information on the application; * Have been convicted of any criminal offense or have pending criminal charges or outstanding warrants (to include driving under the influence); * Have been found in violation of any customs, immigration or agriculture regulations or laws in any country; * Are the subject of an ongoing investigation by any federal, state or local law enforcement agency; Have been denied for the purchase of a firearm; * Are inadmissible to the United States under immigration regulation, including applicants with approved waivers of inadmissibility or parole documentation; or * Cannot satisfy CBP of your low-risk status. As you can see, at least 3 or 4 items in the list are about security and only 1 item is about breaking customs / agriculture regulations. The background checks is the big part of getting approval. Source: https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/global-entry/eligibility I'm a strong believer, travel to countries like Syria, Iran, North Korea, Cuba and others significantly reduce chances of getting or keeping GE membership.

    Solution is to ignore the reminder if you know she has 10 year GC.

    Good idea. If this person been to any of the suspicious countries in the last 10 years though, applying would be a waste of time I think...

    Strange... Typically biometrics are required for petitioners who have criminal past related to Adam Walsh Act. Other petitioners typically are not required to do biometrics

    That is certainly possible. My I-751 took 20.5 months and it was considered fast.

    Hi, sadly it is normal. Immigration process is slow, complex and confusing. E-request for typographical error is not applicable in your case based on my understanding. You submit e-request about typographical error in this case: 1) You received EAD with wrong information 2) Wrong information is caused by USCIS mistake Source: https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/employment-authorization-document In your case, you don't have EAD and mistake was on you. So I would just file a new case with new fee with correct information and withdraw wrongly filed I-765 for renewal. However, considering how long you are into adjustment process, you may never see your EAD and get GC before that. It is not USCIS responsibility to give you legal advice or tell you what and how to do. Tier 1 officers on chat or phone simply need to give you some reply to get you off line and go to next person. The more people they reply, and less time they spend, the better it looks for their performance. So they will tell you anything.

    Do not rely on ChatGPT for legal advice. This is a serious situation. It is hard to tell whether he is eligible to sponsor you, without court records. A lot depends on nature of crime.
  27. OldUser
    Agreed, I would not travel without US passport.

    Did she ever claim asylum from Iran? If yes, travel is risky.

    Thank you for elaborated post with your experience @bernilli! I'm surprised you did not take your spouse with you for 3 year rule, I even mentioned it in my post earlier as one of the reasons for applying under general provision when eligible for both. In my opinion, you were really lucky to have a cooperating and understanding officer. Not all of them are like this. You could have easily come across somebody who would be focusing all the interview on marriage just because the spouse wasn't there. For anybody in this thread, if you have N-400 under 3 year rule, make sure to bring your spouse. More often that not, officers do expect them to accompany you. Not all of them will be satisfied with answer that it wasn't mentioned in letter. The application is based on marriage after all. Good luck and keep us posted! Very lucky with short time to oath. Please remember to update citizenship status with SSA and get a large passport book (it is a free upgrade)

    Congratulations! Make sure to update status with SSA and get a large passport book. Not planning to sponsor anyone? How about few helpful comments to those still waiting? Good luck and thank you for the update!

    While understandable, it is best you initiate it and you are in control. You do not have to talk to spouse directly. Best if lawyer does all the communication. Remember, since you are married, you may be liable fo any new debts (loans, credit cards) your spouse gets approved for. You also may be accumulating more assets etc which in many states will have to be split between you and spouse when divorcing. Plus staying married when relationship is over can be perceived by USCIS as immigration fraud or attempt to hide the real state of marriage. Yes, quick separation and divorce can affect your naturalization. But you can't pretend everything is OK as it would be fraud.

    MyProgress cannot be trusted. Showed 3 weeks until decision on day of my oath. Hang in there, you're almost done!
  34. OldUser
    It doesn't mean they can't randomly approve it and schedule for oath within next few days. You never know!
  35. OldUser
    Make sure not to miss oath ceremony though. I'd check at least once in few days.
