  1. Excellent point. If @Black Sand is close (few months away) to be or already is eligible to apply under 5 year rule, then I'd go with that.
  2. Similar to evidence question: you're applying based on marriage. A good indication your marriage is strong and bonafide is spouse coming with you to support you on this important day in your immigration journey. Even with no conditions being removed, VJ members had experiences when either spouse was present at N-400 interview OR asked a few informal questions. Tell the person at the entrance you're applying based on marriage. Many IO officers would be much kinder and more easy going if your spouse is actually inside in the waiting area. Good luck!
  3. No, this shouldn't be a problem. You could ask to be bulletproof but I wouldn't think it's needed if you have tons of other evidence.
  4. If you were applying under 5 year rule I'd bring small subset. However, you're applying under 3 year rule. If you already have a pile, my personal choice would be to bring that pile (organize it of course). Reason being: you'd show the officer you're serious about the case. Morally you'd start the interview with a stronger hand. I'm sure having a lot of evidence will reduce chance of officer doubting you don't have enough evidence.
  5. No way to know or predict. You should assume you will have an appointment. If it's waived - great.
  6. Who's he and why would he know? I don't think random folks working at biometrics center would be allowed to know anything about your case. Their job is easy. Check ID, take fingerprints, send information to some database. The officer who handles your case may know why you were required to do biometrics. But maybe even he doesn't know for sure, got an instruction from computer because your name got flagged by other government agency.
  7. If you missed the interview, you would've had case denied. Congratulations, it seems like somebody who looked at your file concluded your case was strong enough to approve without interview. Expect approval notice in few weeks, followed by Green Card in separate mail in another several weeks. Once you get approval letter and GC in hand, make sure to take digital and physical copies just in case. And then get yourself some treat as you survived I-751!
  8. Is it possible you didn't have all required vaccinations as part of DS-3025? Sometimes wording on RFE is vague.
  9. Social Security office is known to be requesting COC. Sometimes it get asked at passport renewal too.
  10. It may be that after becoming a US citizen, the OP's husband may lose citizenship in their country (depending on laws of that country). And the laws of the country may not allow ownership by foreign citizens. If that's the case: Inherit => Sell => Become a US citizen
  11. Great, thank you for providing the update. I think this is similar to raising Non-Delivery request here https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDNForm.do; jsessionid=08E5FD1FD9BC*****************6F3?sroPageType=ndn&entryPoint=init
  12. I don't know if I trust that response over the phone? USCIS tier 1 officers are known to give some random answers to get people off the phone and go to next caller.
  13. Just wait. After 120 days by law you can sue USCIS to get a decision by filing Writ of Mandamus
  14. You can try if you really want to visit. No guarantees you will get the visa even with medical.
  15. Yes you can continue using Global Entry even with pending I-751. I travelled several times. The worst case you will have to see a human if machine tells you to. Once I had full face recognition kiosk which never asked me to scan documents - it was seamless. Other times is prompted me to scan document. I've read before LPR is supposed to use GC to enter the US. So with expired GC and extension letter it obviously didn't work and I had to see a person every time. Now I learned you can use passport instead. I cannot test it now since I have a 10 year GC already. I heard people updating their Global Entry profiles by extending validity if GC based on extension letter. I have not tried that since I was worried it wasn't right to do. Whenever I spoke to Global Entry personnel at enrollment center (I tried walking in twice), they said they cannot update system from their end with extension letter. I'd try updating expiration in profile and entering on passport if you're brave enough. Otherwise you can always use GE line and see a person. ~ Not a legal advice ~
  16. Yes there's a whole thread about it: I personally travelled 4 or 5 times internationally during I-751. You need to ensure you have: - Valid passport with enough pages and enough validity, depending on the country you're going to. Some countries require 2 blank pages and 6 months validity remaining as a minimum. - Expired conditional GC - Valid 48 months extension letter. You will need to arrive to airport early when heading back to the US. For the most part airline personnel know what extension letter is, but some do not know and you have to explain / talk to their supervisor. Good luck!
  17. You get it on the day you take oath. When you apply for a US passport you may need to send it with paperwork. Yes, the original. Yes, scary stuff!
  18. I'm not 100% sure how travelling on birth certificate works, especially for a dual citizen (if the child is both US and Canadian). Photo ID such as passport is the best proof. Plus you don't want to lose the birth certificate.
  19. I-131 is not required for travel that is shorter than 6 months for a GC holder.
  20. Unless crossing by land, the husband needs to renew Canadian passport. The kid needs to get a passport too. It well may be the child is both a US and Canadian citizen. In that case, US passport will be sufficient for travel, but can get a Canadian in addition.
