    She may be asked about the circumstances during her interview at the embassy, yes.
  2. OldUser
    Yes, sometimes this happens. You need to include copy of I-751 NOA with your N-400 and ask for combo interview in cover letter. The worst case: you'll pass N-400 interview and will be waiting for I-751 to be approved. Not much downside because you're waiting for I-751 now anyway.

    I don't believe this is always the case. @Rocio0010 @Olga&Jared are good examples of when filing N-400 likely didn't have any effect on I-751. Overall, yes, filing N-400 makes path to becoming a citizen shorter, because you start with N-400 earlier and don't wait for decision on I-751. But I-751 itself takes whatever it needs to take in many cases in my opinion. Only when your I-751 wait is 24+ months, like @Crazy Cat's wife (44 months), then N-400 actually unblocks I-751. In short: I would file N-400 to naturalize faster, not with a goal of unblocking I-751.

    If you're eligible for N-400 and it's your ultimate goal to naturalize, you should file N-400.

    Was form G-28 filed? On the form there are check boxes instructing USCIS where to send notices, cards etc - you or your lawyer. Ask the lawyer for a copy if unsure what was checked on it, so you know where to expect letters from USCIS.

    Correct Correct, ex spouse is not a family.
  8. OldUser
    N/A or leave blank for both. It doesn't apply since the beneficiary is divorced. There's no current marriage.
  9. OldUser
    Current address, which is address in the US.
  10. OldUser
    Unsure about this. I adjusted my status in the US. Questions 57a - 58f were left blank. I was asked to write my name in my native alphabet during interview though. Don't remember about address, I don't think that ever came up.
  11. OldUser
    The date on I-94 is what you need to put. Visa is just a "ticket" to enter the US. Authorized stay can be beyond visa expiration.
  12. OldUser
    Of course her current legal name. There's separate sections for both petitioner and beneficiary, asking for Other Names used. There you put all maiden names etc.
  13. OldUser
    Yes, since petitioner is a US citizen in present then no need to provide details. It doesn't ask about the past at this point.

    No, I don't believe USCIS prefers ALL CAPS. I filled my forms in ALL CAPS, no issues there. Green card and EAD had sentence case (e.g. just first letters in name capitalized), and not ALL CAPS.

    I think the earliest is 2/26/2024 minus 90 days. So, November 21st 2023. But better to apply few days later. 11/28 is good

    No. You gotta live in the US to preserve LPR status. You can have I-131 but this is temporary. Why do you need to maintain US residence if you live in Canada? Naturalize in Canada, file I-407 (you may be subject to US exit tax!)and you'll be able to visit US with your Canadian passport.

    Depends on Hong Kong's laws

    Where have you seen it?

    - Birth certificates of any children in the marriage - Chils adoption documentation if any - Joint tax return transcripts from IRS - Joint lease or mortgage - Loaned in both names - Joint credit card statements - Statements from joint checking, savings, brokerage accounts - Utility bills for gas, water, electrical etc showing both names - Car title in both names, car insurance in both names - Home insurance, renters insurance, medical insurance in both names - Copies of airline boarding passes / reservations in both bames - Membership for things like Costco, National Park cards etc in both names - Copies of Driver Licences or State IDs showing matching address - Wills mentioning the spouse - 401k plans listing the spouse as a beneficiary - Family plans for Amazon, Netflix, cellular showing both names - Affidavits from friends, family, landlords showing they know you as a married couple for a while - Copies of receipts for gifts to each other for anniversaries, New Year etc - USPS Informed Delivery emails showing letters to both. Any copies of letters addressed to both of you - Photos of both of you with family, friends, colleagues. They should be titled, dated and annotated (location, event, who is on photo etc). Should include photos from different periods of time through your marriage - Screenshots of you listing your spouse as emergency contact at work and other places and other way round - Many more stuff you can think of... All the evidence should be complete, e.g submit full documents and not just first page. Evidence should cover period from start of marriage to date of filing.

    Oh yes, sorry
  21. OldUser
    @AttachedAtTheHip is I-130 approved?
  22. OldUser
    According to processing times, it takes about 20 months for 80% of cases: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ Also, based on your filing date: "The earliest you can submit questions is July 29, 2024. Please do not contact us before this date." If you could afford Writ Of Mandamus ($402 for self filing or ~$5000 with a laywer) you could try that route.
  23. OldUser
    Yes Anywhere in the world. Doesn't have to be her country. As long as you have proof of being in the same city / town. E.g. flights, hotel reservation etc.
  24. OldUser
    Sometimes 4-6 weeks
  25. OldUser
    Why didn't you follow a consistent pattern, e.g. all monthly or all quarterly? Hard to tell, but it's possible that USCIS would want to see where your wife paychecks go.
