    Quote from manual: "USCIS has 120 days from the date of the initial naturalization interview to issue a decision. If the decision is not issued within 120 days of the interview, an applicant may request judicial review of his or her application in district court. The officer must base his or her decision on the laws, regulations, precedent decisions, and governing policies." Link: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-b-chapter-4 I'm sure they're just calendar days, but I wouldn't be surprised if USCIS interprets it as work days when required

    120 days to be exact.

    From carrier guide: "A Lawful Permanent Resident may travel to the United States without a passport with a Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551). Cards with expired I-551s may be boarded without penalty if the card was issued with a 10-year expiration date. " But how likely airline is going to honor it, is a question.

    Nobody can tell you with certainty. But API may be somewhat more reliable. You can speak to 3 different agents and get 3 different answers.

    Yes, don't create confusion by providing doc with conflicting name. Interview is guaranteed for N-400, so bring it there.

    I'd say better not include current version. Bring it to interview or upload corrected later.

    No

    Are you changing name?

    I see, I was adjusting in 2019, so things may have changed by then. Thank you for sharing your experince.

    When was AOS adjudicated? What about ROC?
  11. OldUser
    Couldn't agree more. Also, I'd add - don't be worried if MyProgress completely dissappears or shows "Your case is taking longer than expected". Both are irrelevant

    CSPA calculation is: CSPA Age = Age at Visa Availability − Time Petition Was Pending Using this calculation, was your child under 21 or over 21? This determines whether CSPA applies to him.
  13. OldUser
    Agreed, I had AOS before COVID. Interview being waived wasn't a thing at all.

    For that, you should have received confirmation proving you changed address. You cannot justify not updating address because you think they'd think something. Not needed

    Sorry for late reply. In my case, QR code directed to "scheduling system", which was office locator with wrong phone number pretty much. This is the QR code I saw in SSA itself and on the print out empoyee gave me. The only thing, employee wrote real phone number on paper under QR code, which helped me to schedule appointment.

    Please read my first message in the thread, it explains everything in great detail. If you're calling 1-800-772-1213 to make appointment, forget it. Nobody picks up phone there. I found direct phone number of my SSA office by going there in person. Google Maps, other things showed the number above which nobody ever answers. I use online to check whether they're working on my request. Again, more details in prior messages. Good luck!

    On the day of my oath, estimate showed 3 weeks until decision... Oh wait, I mentioned it already 😃

    Too early for anything to happen. You can expect it to be decided between March and June on 2026

    Abroad means outside of China in this context

    I'm really sorry about your situation. If your son is unmarried, it would take 10 years or so whether you're LPR or US citizen... There's nothing really you can do. By law he cannot be given visa any time soon.

    This makes sense, of course you cannot travel on German passport since you're no longer a citizen. OP is a dual citizen and their travel will be different. Also, with introduction of ETIAS, whenever it is enforced, travelling on EU passport would mean you don't have to fill forms and pay fees.
  22. OldUser
    To avoid questioning at the border when entering Germany? I'm not familiar with German laws, but most of countries require their citizens to enter on proper passport of their nationality, not foreign.

    MyProgress is notoriously inaccurate, whether it's estimated time or current step...

    Just a disclaimer, uploading doesn't provide you with proof of delivery. If somehow the file disappears from portal, USCIS can say "we never received your reply" and you won't have much evidence to say otherwise. Whereas mailing with proof of delivery is a solid evidence of your reply being received by USCIS.

    OK, got a bit of progress going... When trying to replace card online today, got message: "We're sorry. We are currently updating our information based on your prior request. Please try again online starting May XX, 2025. You may begin a replacement social security card request using another online social security card processing application. You may also contact your local office for other replacement card options." So the way I interpret it, SSA is finally working on my request updating citizenship status.
