  1. Not for majority It is related, yes Hard to tell, but at least few weeks, most likely few months.
  2. You realize things are not send letter by letter for each case between USCIS and NVC? There's a pile of cases stacked at USCIS and once in x number of weeks a truck comes to collect it all and load on plane etc? So from USCIS officer perspective, once they completed job on case and dropped the case in mail room for sending to NVC, they sent it. But it make take few weeks before actual truck comes to pick it up and transport it on plane etc. Same with receiving. The mail may sit for some time at NVC in mail room, but they only receive it when somebody actually opens the letter. I understand the frustration, but none of this process is quick or easy.
  3. You can do it, but I wouldn't. Marriage certificate is required initial evidence. You may receive RFE slowing down the case if not provided at time of submission. Other docs may cause misunderstanding / delays. Others can correct me. This is not a legal advice.
  4. Don't bother. This is mainly for correspondence to other countries that don't use Latin alphabet
  5. I can guess was too married for K-1?
  6. Yes, unlike first receipt notice printed on watermarked paper, both interview and oath notices are regular black and white without protection and can be printed off myUSCIS if needed.
  7. You should receive both physical letters as well as digital copies in myUSCIS account
  8. Neither. There is 2 year conditional or 10 year uncoditional green card. There is no 3 or 5 year green cards.
  9. Fraud prevention or to avoid accidental use? Not all CBP pay attention to dates and stamps, though they should
  10. Congratulations! Very nice of them to give a reminder, but I wish they would just tell the truth - you need to go to SSA, the check box doesn't work for sure. Whoohoo!
  11. I would not travel with denied I-751 / N-400 unless absolutely necessary. And knowing you may have pain coming back even with the stamp.
  12. Sounds like you only had I-751 interview and most likely will be scheduled for N-400 interview again.
  13. I see. Why don't you let things develop naturally? If he doesn't overstay, he can go back home, then you can visit him. And on one of the visits, either yours to Ghana or his to the US, you can marry. Don't center everything around immigration, because then it becomes suspicious. Marriage is a big commitment. Why not take it slow, learn the person better and make a decision down the line?
  14. Yes, what's holding you? Do you love each other? Do you guys want to start a family? You can't petition him unless you are married.
  15. With all the respect to you and my sincere sympathy (it's a difficult and scary case, don't wish this to anybody), I don't think USCIS is actually required to interview anybody for I-751. For N-400 - yes, but not for I-751. And I may be wrong, I'm not aware of them being required to have an interview to hear your point. It may be to your advantage to actually have everything written down VS having a verbal interview (though again, it could be recorded too). I just don't think the solution lies in interview itself, if it's won it's either going to be on paper with USCIS or in court in my humble and maybe wrong opinion.
  16. It all varies based on office. There's also federal holidays in November and December which may affect things. Don't miss the ceremony! Unless it's urgent trip, prioritize becoming a citizen. Here's story of somebody who missed ceremony and now in limbo: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/832068-reconsideration-of-denied-n-400-that-was-approved-before-case-beyond-processing-time/#comment-11067912
  17. So "before or" ensures they are within their right to adjudicate ROC before N-400 interview, like in your case. Not saying this is morally right or that they don't violate other things... But this particular bit seems to be giving them the discretion.
  18. Hi do you happen to have a link to where it says it in policy? Asking so I can share with others with both cases pending
  19. Nobody here would know exactly how your second interview will go. I am only suggesting to prepare for the worst scenario and hope it goes a lot easier than this. If you prepare for tough interview, you will have answers for any scenario. As to my knowledge, no I don't work in the field, but immigration is my passion. I've read thousands of pages on Visa Journey and other immigration related websites on various subjects, including visas, adjustment of status, removal of conditions, naturalization over the last 7-8 years. I contributed with close to 13000 posts on Visa Journey since 2022 when I joined it. I watched every single episode of Immigration Answers Show on YouTube, which is about 1000 hours of content, questions and answers by attorney. I also watched other attorneys, perhaps 200-300hrs additionally. I read USCIS manual, watch updates on immigration, review forms regularly. And lastly, I went from various visas to becoming a citizen myself. I have few friends who went through this process to. This is where I'm coming from. By no means my messages here are the ultimate truth or legal advice.
  20. Normal. Some even received green cards after oath.
  21. You cannot change status to B2 after demonstrating immigrant intent by filing for adjustment. You will be out of status, but it will be forgiven because you're married to US citizen.
  22. The same rules apply as before. It depends on when you submitted N-400.
  23. You absolutely need to be prepared to do everything over, including test. Treat it as if the first interview never happened and also as a more difficult interview. I would not go to interview without a lawyer.
  24. 1. No, you won't be given B1 / B2 visa or status after filing for adjustment 2. Collect evidence, prepare for interview. Attend biometrics. Don't leave the US. File AR-11 if you change address.
