  1. Everything is logical. She's no longer an LPR, she's a citizen. Let us know how it goes. If she cannot get passport in time, maybe the trip can be moved?
  2. No, she cannot. She won't be allowed to board a plane to return to the US. By law US citizens must use US passport to leave and enter the US. Did she apply for emergency US passport (if qualified)?
  3. Well, if you guys bought a house together, had a kid, use joint bank accounts for most of transactions, share medical and other insurances, have wills in each other names... Then filing separately is not a thing. My example is exaggerated, but you get the point.
  4. Filing jointly is not a requirement for I-751. If you have other good evidence, it may be OK to file MFS.
  5. You must assume combo even if you don't have a letter. Take your spouse with you.
  6. A form is completed by civil surgeon with many things, including vaccination record.
  7. What about people outside of her or your family? Family affidavits are even less valuable, because families are interested parties. Here's example: https://citizenpath.com/i-130-affidavit-sample-spouse/
  8. No, then I-485 forms are not required. Your wife and daughter should leave on time and go via consular processing. I-130 for each is OK. You need to check whether daughter will have to wait way longer due to visa bulletin and her category.
  9. Who's gonna write those affidavits? Friends, people who know you as a couple?
  10. I wish I could pin this message in every N-400 thread. Not sure how people still believe estimates after going through other steps with USCIS, NVC etc earlier in their journey.
  11. Whether you mail it on Friday or following Monday it won't make a difference. Evidence getting old is not a major concern. These cases lie on a shelf for 18-24 months before anyone looks at them. Good luck! It's quite a journey, but it's a just another step
  12. I wouldn't. My lawyer discouraged it too. The problem is, if you miscalculated the date and petition arrives a little early - it will get rejected. Adding a week will minimize this chance. Fun fact, a friend of mine, who filed I-751 two weeks after me got approved 4-5 months earlier than me. Same service center. Neither of us had RFEs or interviews. So me sending earlier didn't get me there faster 😃 With current processing times, whether you file on the day or two weeks later - you'll probably be applying for N-400 with pending I-751
  13. Do not send the day window opens. Delay by few days to avoid rejection. How long of a delay are you talking about for waiting for taxes? Few weeks? Sure. Longer - I'd file without it.
  14. You shouldn't travel outside the US. Also, renewing DL may be challenging. You need to get an ADIT stamp for proof of status.
  15. This can take anywhere between a month to over a year. On average, 6-9 months.
  16. Recommendation is still relevant. She'd replace a US passport, update name at SSA. The immigrant spouse would use her new name on AOS forms.
  17. You use your married name on AOS forms. That's how you notify USCIS about name change. Update your passport to match new name. If you can't (really can't) then you can travel with passport and Advance Parole / Green card and marriage certificate to explain discrepancy in name on documents.
