I don't think we can offer any different advice other than one that was already given - just be patient.
This is pretty normal. It's out of your control.
You seem to have good evidence.
Make sure to attach copy of I-751.
You can write a letter stating you have pending I-751, and would like to request a combo interview. There's several factors out of your control whether you'd have combo or not. Some is discretion of officer, others outside of their control too.
This is typical USCIS. I've seen this with my I-751.
At least, we're not asylum seekers from 2015 who got forgotten for years, some until now while newer applications got approved.
Your turn will eventually come!
I'd enter it as 01/01/23-01/02/23.
I don't think this is material and you can add note in Additional section saying you could not enter 01/01/23 - 01/01/23
Second interview is typically when fraud is suspected. There's a great chance you will be separated and asked about each other.
I'd take a lawyer with you.
Do you comingle finances?
Have you tried checking around midnight and other ackward times? There's a time slot different for each embassy when new appointment slots are released.
Since you're submitting both concurrently, I'd send to whatever location you need to send it living in Florida.
What's the plan as to living together? USCIS may see you living apart as a red flag and scrutinize case more.
Seems like somebody has to clarify things to USCIS in writing.
Your case is complicated for a number of reasons:
1) Wife were in removal proceedings
2) I-485 was filed twice (?) - with USCIS and court. I can see why this can be confusing
3) You moved in the process
Worst case you can file a WoM for decision, but otherwise 1 year wait for I-485 is totally expected, especially for such complicated case.
Filing online and paying $710 is a guarantee your application won't be rejected for incorrect fees.
Otherwise, if you want to pay reduced fees, make sure to write a cover letter in big letters explaining why you qualify for fee reduction. Quote the exact clauses in immigration law. Stick it at the front of your packet.
In your situation, I've seen all scenarios on VJ:
1) You get GC before N-400 gets approved
2) You never get GC, just naturalize
3) You get GC after naturalization.
Everything is possible, but most likely it's gonna be #2
What's the existing account? The one used by US citizen to file I-130 / I-129F?
If yes, USCIS is right. I-485 and I-290B belong to immigrant and cannot be added to US citizen account.
Same will be the case for I-751 if you have to file in the future and N-400.
Yes
This is the official exact questions you're going to be asked. They're 100% accurate and come from the USCIS.
I'll be using those to study for the test.
