    You cannot apply for her naturalization. She has to apply, N-400 is her petition
  2. OldUser
    Great, so you can travel without worrying too much.
  3. OldUser
    Seems amazing to me. Not so long ago N-400s were taking 12 months. I will go up once earlier filers (August 2024 and before) will be finished.

    Yes, you can travel internationally as long as card is valid even without extension letter. You need to make sure the GC is valid on the day you enter the US if you don't have extension letter. Also, remember you may be scheduled for biometrics appointment while you're travelling. Missing appointment is very undesirable as it pauses proceeding of I-751 and also can lead to eventual denial. So it's always best to leave the country after biometrics are reused or you attended the appointment.

    No this is not an official extension letter. You will receive physical letter printed on watermarked paper. The physical letter is what you can use for air travel and proving your GC is extended at places such as DMV.

    This is normal and common. There's nothing to worry about.

    Calls are questionable. I was told by few people in CC industry most of these companies use AI for fraud detection. Human can only lift fradulent transaction flag after it was flagged by AI.

    If he had copies of it, he should realize it by now... The good news is after 120 days after interview you can sue USCIS for decision.
  10. OldUser
    Did you not mention you have 10 ywar GC? I'm surprised officer didn't ask for GC either.
  11. OldUser
    Many credit card issuers don't expect USCIS charge. Just search VJ, people mention credit cards from Amex, Chase, Capital One, Bank of America occasionally blocking charges for USCIS fees.

    The interview itself unlikely going to take 2 hrs, unless they have some suspicion about your background. But collectively it can take few hours... You may need to wait for interview for 15-30 mins, etc etc.

    Yes, whether you have approved or pending I-751, if you're applying based on marriage to US citizen for 3 years, you need to bring marital evidence and be ready to prove your bonafide marriage. Some people never had 2 year GC. Then entered the US, received their 10 year unconditional GC because they were married for 2+ years. But if they apply under 3 year rule, they'll have to prove marriage.
  14. OldUser
    If you filed N-400 under general provision, based on being a permanent resident for 5 years, then wife doesn't play a big role and isn't part of the process. USCIS can still ask about her and your marriage. If you applied for N-400 under 3 year rule, based on marriage to US citizen, she's 100% part of the process.

    Generally, within 90 days but for some it takes months. Endorsed immigrant visa in passport is valid for a year and serves as proof of status.
  16. OldUser
    Yes
  17. OldUser
    They should not have I-751 interview if youe GC is being produced. Take new GC and I-751 approval letter to interview and give it to officer when they ask to see GC. Even if they were going to do I-751, they would then realize they don't need to. Anything about your immigration, background and your spouse. Remember dates, names, trips you took, places you lived at, placed you worked at. Know marriage date, birthday of your spouse and kids, where do they work or study, how you met.

    December 2024 filers stats as of 02/21/2025 @ 4:15 PM ET: Approved: 441 Denied: 2 Fingerprints Scheduled: 627 Interview Cancelled: 85 Interview Scheduled: 7603 Pending: 4 Processing: 19215 Received: 42 ResponseToRFE: 4 RFE: 35 Withdrawal: 8 OathCeremonyNotice: 265 OathCeremonyScheduled: 202 OathCeremonyReady: 1 So, another 31 folks were approved so far today (and maybe more at later in the day, especially in CT and PT time zones)

    Congrats with approval! The question should be "What's the likelihood of USCIS asking where the spouse is if I come without her?" Yes, quite a big chance. If she comes with you, it's unlikely she'll need to go inside the room for N-400 interview.
  20. OldUser
    There must have been a good delay between filing N-400 and I-751 approval. I wouldn't link them together.
  21. OldUser
    In your case, make sure to bring certified copies of marriage certificate (you get them from county clerk). If any of you had divorces, make sure to bring divorce decrees too.
  22. OldUser
    Again, no. My answer will remain the same no matter how many times it's asked 😃
  23. OldUser
    I think it was called Elis fee and it was around forever. Just maybe a smaller amount and different procedure to pay it.
  24. OldUser
    17 is what we see right now. Bear in mind, from what I read this morning, US embassies may be scaled down too soon. Meaning, after I-130 approval it may take longer to get interview and immigrant visa.
  25. OldUser
    So you applied for an immigrant visa. You didn't apply for GC directly. You got GC after entering on immigrant visa. Either way, for FOIA, ask for all immigration files from both DOS and USCIS. That way you'll have a clear picture of entire immigration history. Again, unless you have a valid reason to believe your case has issues, there's no need for FOIA. Good luck!
