  1. Whose divorce decree was required? Petitioner's or beneficiary's?
  2. I'd think quite the opposite, but @pushbrk can confirm. If it was indeed a paid service, we'd be checking and replying to private messages. However, the point of VJ is to spread knowledge. Somebody else in your situation may be struggling, and can learn from this thread. Private messages do not allow it.
  3. You may not be aware, but any messages, with or without attachments fill VJ limited private message mailboxes very quickly, especially for active and respectable members like @pushbrk
  4. Yep, it's a hit or miss. I assume you never got any emails when case was accepted?
  5. No need to redo I-864, but make sure to address all outlined and potential issues of RFE and include the RFE letter in response.
  6. I don't think this is the case. People's income change for better or worse over time. Employment and income and not requirements for N-400. But I agree, unless really need fee reduction it's best not to use it. Why? Because USCIS is fee funded. By using fee reduction, USCIS will have fewer resources to adjudicate other cases. Also, for OP, case may go slower. Anything atypical causes cases to slow down. Also, this means paper filing with slower time to get N-400 NOA.
  7. I see around 20% of cases filed in August 2024 are still pending. Generally, anything under 12 months can be considered within normal processing time...
  8. Try checking few times a day. Check right after midnight in your timezone too.
  9. Wow those lucky 163 filers who got approved! They won the lottery really. That's less than 1% of November 2024 filers.
  10. I did something similar for December 2021 I-751 filers though back then it required more effort and data wasn't as full. I think it helps everybody understand where the cases are in process and put things in perspective. I think AOS folks will appreciate your efforts too!
  11. To file 1040 you typically need either W-2 or 1099. So if 1040 was filed, one of the forms above should be available.
  12. 8 more approvals in the last 1.5 hrs. Next update before EOD today.
  13. Actually, just checked August 2023 stats. There's about 8300 denials there and around 55000 approvals. Making denial rate around 10-15% But other blocks look more like 5-10% of denials.
  14. December 2024 filers stats as of 02/24/2025 @ 1:15 PM ET: Approved: 589 Denied: 4 Fingerprints Scheduled: 560 Interview Cancelled: 89 Interview Scheduled: 7925 Pending: 4 Processing: 18668 Received: 32 ResponseToRFE: 6 RFE: 51 Withdrawal: 11 OathCeremonyNotice: 314 OathCeremonyScheduled: 278 OathCeremonyReady: 1 Overall, another 50 people were approved and 106 were scheduled for interview since my last report. There's also one more denial. Few more ceremonies scheduled and few more notices for oath ceremony sent.
  15. I think this is very low number considering there's thousands of cases filed. It'll probably grow to 30-50 over time. Maybe some of the filers weren't ready for the interview! Or they have fundamentally wrong cases which cannot be approved.
  16. N-400 can easily take a year. At least they used to. I'm thinking in terms of: any case that takes less than 12 months is fair processing time. Especially if there's underlying I-751 that's pending. Good luck and cograts on getting oath date!
  17. Getting lawyer involved mid process is generally more expensive then engaging them from the start.
  18. I received 10 year GC 20.5 months after filing. Some people wait longer nowadays. Others file for citizenship at 3 year anniversary of being LPR and living with their spouse in marital union.
  19. Overall, I highly recommend asking for copies of all documents this lawyer submitted. Then run away!!! E.g. remove lawyer from case by filing G-28. You need to ensure everything was filed correctly. If not, you may need to send letters correcting information.
  20. Yes, this is true. Are you sure this is a lawyer? Is she or he searchable on https://www.ailalawyer.com/? This sounds like a horribly incompetent person. Your case may be in danger because the "lawyer" could have filed something incorrectly. Everybody receives 48 month extension That's right. Nobody is required to change names. Many people got I-751 approved without changing name.
  21. That's pretty bad, you could have filed on paper, which is also an option. I did AR-11 without any issues online though. Historically, people don't get in a trouble for not filing AR-11, but technically it's a violation of law. If you read the form, it's a deportable offense. Not filing it theoretically can land you in jail too. I'd file AR-11 now. Better late then never.
  22. If your wife files in May / June 2025 after 5 year anniversary of permanently relocating to the US, she won't need to list June 2019 trip.
