  1. Don't forget: 1) I-129Fs expire, and it is a discretion of consulate to extend their validity 2) K-1 holders cannot enter if there is a travel ban. CR-1 typically are excluded from ban So there's that
  2. In my immigration journey, it helped focusing on what all I can do to make the case stronger instead of thinking what the least amount of effort you can do. What if you end up not liking married life together? The more you visit, the less risk it is for you and your fiance. And more evidence you have for immigration. Is there a big age gap, different ethnical or religious background? If yes to any, you need to prove case more. If all true, you need to work very hard to make case approvable.
  3. Which field office? Don't forget there were multiple holidays and other things in November and December. Do you have pending I-751? What's N-400 status online?
  4. It is needed so USCIS and DOS do not think this marriage is for immigration purposes. Usually people do not marry on the first visit. People learn about each other and think long and hard before committing to marriage
  5. The online form is new, so there can be issues with it here and there. I am also curious to learn whether somebody had a good experience they can write about.
  6. Yep, this is mostly helpful to those whose 10 year green cards are expiring. Those who have 2 year GC with pending I-751, already have 48 month extension letters which supercede 24 month extension from N-400.
  7. Sure, if they are interested in listening to you and allow you to defend your case. Sometimes they come to conclusion and aren't giving any opportunity to clarify things. Carrying proofs can help
  8. WoM is not nuclear in my opinion. But N-400 is more cost effective.
  9. Congrats! Don't forget to apply for large passport books (free upgrade) and update status with SSA!
  10. I cannot comment on this as I lack expertise in this area.
  11. Tier 1 is there just to make sure you don't take too much time and end the call promptly. Hang in there!
  12. It is intentional. You'd be surprised how many times I've seen people spelling it as "duel" and "neutralization"
  13. Wonder how many of VJ users only have one citizenship VS how many have dual citizenship from birth / naturalization VS how many have duel citizenship from birth / neutralization
  14. Do you have more than one citizenship?
  15. That is a good idea actually and valid use case
  16. Example here
  17. Those folks even ask for stamps in their British passports when landing in the UK. They ask for after exiting through e-Gates. I'd never go through such hassle.
  18. ~ The thread was moved to US Citizenship General Discussion forum ~
  19. So, a stamp enthusiast in this situation would bring passport and request the stamps. Which is beyond my understanding, because it usually means delays in crossing the border, annoying the border agents etc etc
  20. I've seen some communities online where people collect and showcase passport stamps. Some even go as far ask requesting it from border authorities when stamp is not provided by default. But the worst (in my opinion) is getting those stamps from tourist offices (San Marino, Monaco) where border control does not exist or even street vendors (Machu Picchu). Getting random stamps in official document can invalidate passport. I like stamps, but I collect them organically. If border authority has the protocol and need to stamp my passport - sure, otherwise - no thanks. What do you do when travelling?
  21. 2-6 weeks. You have Christmas and New Year, which adds few days of delay. Plus potential weather issues depending on where you are. If you have USPS Informed Delivery, most likely you will see package from Lee's Summit Production Facility there before USCIS gives you tracking number
