    Nobody will allow him on a plane without valid passport. Talk to Nepalese friends, groups online to see how people renew their passports. It's essential to renew it for international travel.

    Glad to see my timeline estimate was somewhat accurate. Congrats on extension letter! Make as digital copies of letter and GC just in case. Good luck!

    3 or 5 year rule? Do you have I-751 pending / approved / didn't have one?
  4. OldUser
    Technically, you can only breath freely after oath and naturalization certificate in hand
  5. OldUser
    Sometimes I-751 is stuck on some irrelevant status even after naturalization. Many officer don't bother clicking the forms to update online status for it.
  6. OldUser
    I'd say if OP is admitted back, they should stay put and don't travel internationally until naturalized.

    4 days and 1 month if you want to be bulletproof and don't spend money on lawyers etc
  8. OldUser
    What's the processing times for your FO? Also, you cannot get naturalized within 90 day window, so part of your wait is that.
  9. OldUser
    You should count 4 years and 1 day since you came back from your last trip that laster over 6 months.

    Yes it is. USCIS # (Alien Number) is mandatory. USCIS account is optional
  11. OldUser
    It's got to be immigrant's, not US citizen's account. It's optional
  12. OldUser
    Yes, if you're married, you'd be filing I-751 jointly. Your spouse is both petitioner and beneficiary, but you'll sign the form too.
  13. OldUser
    No it's not an easy process, but seems like you don't have many options.

    Can your wife interview at some other embassy?

    If they have a good enough excuse, the WoM can get dismissed.
  16. OldUser
    If nobody gets interviewed, then WoM won't help. It usually helps if one's case is delayed compared to everybody else.

    Did you file AR-11? Have you tried sending an inquiry?

    Order checkbook tomorrow, how do you live without it? This is USA 2024, half of the businesses still expect checks for various payments 😀 As to date, I'd get the check when your 90 day window opens, and not earlier than that, just to be 100% safe.

    USCIS doesn't refund fees. Now, it's a tricky situation. Usually you'd file I-485 with a copy of approved I-129F. Did you file I-485 at all? Did you include copy of I-129F with it? Or I-130? If you haven't filed I-485 yet, it's too late to rely on I-129F and you're OK with I-130. But you gotta file I-485 with copy of I-130 receipt. Be prepared for longer than usual processing times...

    I recommend using personal check instead of cashier's check. With personal check, you'll know exactly when USCIS takes the money out of your account and starts working on your case.

    No, you cannot travel internationally without US passport after becoming a citizen. Reschedule your travel plans if you can. Really consider it. I can't imagine becoming a citizen can be a lower priority than travel, be it business or leasure. I can never recommend rescheduling. Sometimes USCIS will forget about you and you may end up trying to reach them to get an update for many months. If you're ready to put some effort and test your luck, you can actually attend the ceremony, get naturalized and do your best arranging an urgent passport appointment. If you have 3 weeks or so between naturalization and and trip, you may be able to pull this off. Good luck!
  22. OldUser
    Sometimes you never receive text despite of filing G-1145. It can take 6 weeks to get your receipt by mail.

    You can get married first. What would be the basis for waiver? Why can't she fulfill her promise to return home and spend 2 years there?

    The issues with renewing passports are not so rare: A gentleman from Iran also renewed his passport for many years until he started having issues (it was in the news). I think I made my point of this potentially costing a lot more than $1170 in the future. I won't reply any more to this topic as there's nothing more I can add and it's down to OP to file this or not. If I didn't file as a parent, at least I'd have a conversation with children when they're over 18 to make them aware of this at least.

    I don't think it was reviewed in full. I think it was just opened and realized that it's a response to RFE, then online system was updated as "received". It may take few months before somebody actually reads it and evaluates in a context of your case.
