  1. You need to get a full medical in the US and complete all missing vaccinations. Forget about I-693, as if it never happened, if it is from 2015-2016.
  2. Busy field office, complex immigration history (prior asylum / divorce from USC / WAVA) or other issues (based on country of origin, criminal charges etc). Or simply bad luck.
  3. This is normal. I had estimate for I-751 as 7 months on website, but it took 20.5 months in reality. None of these processing times are accurate. Nobody here can give you correct estimate. Each case is unique, plus processing times change all the time.
  4. A far as I know, nothing extra to be filed. If I-485 is approved, overstay will be forgiven since it's marriage to US citizen.
  5. Small correction for future readers. There's no I-155 stamp as of 2023. There's a I-151 stamp which is valid for a year. Can do pretty much everything with it, including obtaining SS card, driver's license etc.
  6. Nothing is fast with USCIS. You have proof of status of up to a year, which should be enough for GC to show up in the mail.
  7. Another option is contacting the sponsor company, they should have a record. FOIA may also help.
  8. Yes, online tool is not smart enough. I wonder if this is one of those rare cases when filing on paper applies?
  9. Please accept my condolences. This is very sad. You can write a letter to the service center asking to convert jointly filed I-751 to a waiver (box 1c on the form). Alternatively, you can file new I-751 with that box checked. Most importantly, do you have the death certificate?
  10. You can also get an eSIM or set up Google voice if maintaining a US number otherwise is expensive / impractical.
  11. That's if the fees will remain the same, which I doubt. Most likely in 5 years N-400 itself will be around $1000
  12. I only saw a correlation in few cases TBH. Usually I-751 takes however long it needs to take. If it coincides with N-400 they get adjudicated together.
  13. Because it helps improving processing times on paper. USCIS is known for applying FILO approach from time to time.
  14. Sorry to hear about that. What ports denied I-797? Please share your experience for others to be aware. I personally never had big issues with extension letter. Wishing you happy holidays and a speedy approval!
  15. Same here, glad to hear I'm not the only one 🙂 Also adopted it around that age and never changed.
  16. I haven't sent a letter to a congressman myself, but I've seen people reporting success from time to time. It would not hurt your case for sure. The biggest slow down for N-400 is usually pending I-751. Now that you have it approved, I think your case may move faster in January-Fabruary next year. I wouldn't believe the estimate onlines, they're never accurate. As to renewing Ukrainian passport, I heard they can get extended too? Though it would be somewhat tricky travelling with such extended passport in my opinion. Good luck with your case and I wish you a speedy approval!
  17. I see what you mean. But if you were to submit N-400 now, I would probably took longer for you to naturalize. You are already in line.
  18. It's totally fine. Biometrics reuse is never guaranteed. Everybody is supposed to give biometrics, but many get it waived.
