  1. Don't forget about voter registration when filing taxes with Turbotax, submitting change of address with USPS and many other places. That's a good reason to always pause, and read carefully every word before signing anything. It got to the point I take screenshots / photos of my answer NO for vote registration whenever I see it. Just to make sure I'm not accused of anything 😃
  2. This sounds like a law exam question 😃 Technically, if your kid permanently resides in the US and was on a temporary trip under 6 months, they should become a US citizen when you naturalize. You'd have to get them a US passport to come back. This is not a legal advice, I'm not 100% sure your kid is a US citizen, but most likely is
  3. It does look like an error on USCIS part. Make sure to act fast and get everything delivered to USCIS by March 10th ideally. You may need to file I-290B, attach all the evidence and response and craft the letter explaining the timeline of events and why they should reconsider.
  4. Sorry to hear about your story. The situation is very serious. It appears that you're out of status now. You may be already subject to a 3 or 10 year bar if you leave the US (confirm with a laywer). Since your I-130 was denied, I'm not even sure if you can just stay and adjust status by filing another AOS packet. The overstay is not forgiven for a spouse of LPR. You may need to fight USCIS decision, but it will be challenging. Others can help with answers. I don't think this is a DIY case.
  5. Couldn't you visit on ESTA as a EU passport holder? Did you disclose all of your citizenships? Did you have criminal issues?
  6. Thank you for clarification. I was commenting from the standpoint I-751 should only be re-filed if one has a compelling evidence to support bonafide marriage, and geniunely wishes to remove conditions. Filing I-751 for the sake of extending presence in the US, like OP was suggesting "buying time" is borderline of immigration fraud, similar to fake asylum claims etc. Of course, I'm not an IJ and wouldn't want to be.
  7. If it's a N-400 based on 3 year rule there's no better proof of bonafide marriage than US citizen spouse taking time off and caring enough to support their naturalizing spouse. They may be asked a question or two also informally, I heard of such cases.
  8. You should take all the evidence (in case if you want to be bulletproof) or at least updated evidence since filing to minimize any issues. Chances are you won't be asked anything, but you want to be safe than sorry. Also, it does show to IO you're serious about your case, so it decreases probability of them wanting to screw with your interview.
  9. Naturalisation sounds like becoming a UK or Australian citizen? Anyways, as long as OP knows their ex spouse date of birth, divorce date and walk through timeline briefly, it's OK. Nodody expects ex spouse's original documents at the interview.
  10. You're supposed to file AR-11 within 10 days after move not before. But you did provide your new address there, right?
  11. AR-11 is needed every time you change address as LPR. It's a requirement whether you file for N-400 or not.
  12. I'm confused. Are you @leilabird? How are you a resident of 9 years if your GC should start in 2019?
  13. Find a lawyer on https://www.ailalawyer.com/ You can file I-751 late if you have a good reason. Your reason should be fine as long as you can actually prove you had a bonafide marriage.
  14. Depends whether this question is mandatory or optional. For example, from what I learned recently, it's optional when getting ESTA. Not sure about visa.
  15. Sometimes text message never comes. Either it's a problem on USCIS side or carriers block it as suspicious message etc.
  16. OP most likely doesn't have income in the US, hence the question about joint sponsor.
  17. Whoever is naturalizing needs to use their own account. For N-400 the LPR is both petitioner and beneficiary. Same as I-751. The only forms US citizen had to file were I-129F / I-130 and I-864. That's as far as I remember. That typically occurs at the very beginning of immigration journey. After getting GC, immigrant is the one responsible for their forms etc, which means they use their account.
  18. But it doesn't help WAVA case? I wouldn't be surprised if IO asks a question why you're still married to the abuser?
  19. I'm sorry you're going through this. In USCIS's twisted logic, the interview invitation was sent, your daughter never showed up for it and now it's being rescheduled. Has she changed addresses since filing N-600? Any other mail delivered to that address OK?
  20. Did you have biometrics reused or appointment? That's typically most you get in 1 year after filing. Approvals / RFEs begin at 18-24 months mark after filing I-751
