  1. This is a mess. Once you get I-551 stamp, you should be able to replace SS card.
  2. No, you don't need physical GC to apply for naturalization. If you're ready and eligible, file today. You can upload I-90 receipt in additional evidence and explain you don't have physical GC since you lost it.
  3. You can get I-551 stamp with pending I-90 case. You don't have any other proof of status without this stamp. Extension letters won't matter if you don't have physical GC. Extension letters don't extend validity of I-551 stamp, which is only valid for 1 year and has to be obtained again and again until you get GC or naturalize.
  4. You can search for credible lawyers who are part of AILA here: https://www.ailalawyer.com/ This ensures the lawyer is a member of The American Immigration Lawyers Association
  5. I'm also thinking maybe some small percentage of newer cases (November 2024 AOS filers, N-400 December filers) are getting processed, then the rest put on pause to process older cases. E.g. USCIS takes small percentage of cases for relatively new filers, processes them fast to improve timeline stats, and switches back to address older cases. Just guessing

  7. You can call civil surgeon's office and ask what would happen. I don't remember exactly what I needed to complete my medical, but it was also 3-4 jabs. All issued within a span of seconds. I'm still alive. Medical didn't take any longer because of jabs. You can get some of them at CVS / Walgreens ahead of time too. Good luck!
  8. Status where? Digital copy of NOA? She can send a letter to correct any form issues. Always ask for forms to be reviewed before they're sent.
  9. Yes, separately for security reasons.
  10. Some vaccines are not administered after certain age. Civil Surgeon will waive those as not applicable.
  11. If you don't have a physical GC there's nothing to extend. For job, you can and should go through I-9 verification by showing a valid state ID (or valid Driver's license) and unrestricted social security card. Employer cannot demand to see a green card. You can tell them you're permanent resident and show the docs I mentioned. Having said that, you should get I-551 stamp in foreign passport to have proof of status. Did you move since filing I-90? Any plans for naturalization?
  12. I'm not a tax expert, it just appears to me OP wants to save some bucks on tax. I cannot rule out all possible creativity that goes into that. I wouldn't bother doing any of this to stay out of trouble with USCIS down the line unless savings can justify it
  13. They need to know her immigration history and establish the fact she met the terms of her visa. I did J-1 around same time as your wife. "It was in 2014" may not going to satisfy them. I did J-1 year or two around 2014. I still have my DS-2019. Even as LPR.
  14. 1. Nobody can ever give 100% gurantee she'll be fine spending 6+ months outside the US without reentry permit 2. This resets her eligibility for naturalization, as breaks continuous presence test (for USCIS) 3. Her claiming to be non-resident for US tax purposes can bar her from becoming a US citizen in the future. N-400 form has question : "Since you became a lawful permanent resident, have you called yourself a "nonresident alien" on a Federal, state, or local tax return or decided not to file a tax return because you considered yourself to be a nonresident? "
  15. The fact she has GC makes her pass green card test, meaning she's the resident for tax purposes.
  16. December 2024 filers stats as of 02/26/2025 @ 4:15 PM ET: No new approvals, but few people got ceremony scheduled. Slowdown for Dec 2024 filers is obvious @Edward and Jaycel
  17. N-400 cannot be approved without I-751 being approved first. I won't be surprised if I-751 is stuck now. You have somebody else (K-2) who you do not have a contact with... This is not a typical situation with K-2. Your I-751 case might have been approved if you modified it uncheking the box saying daughter is applying for ROC with you. But I guess it's a difficult personal decision to make.

  19. Always better late than never
