I see no issue here. As a Mexican citizen, you'll use Mexican paasport to enter Mexico. Mexico doesn't even need to care about your green card or extension letter. As a LPR with valid extension letter, you will be allowed back into the US by CBP. The only wrinkle is whether airline will allow you to board the plane. With GC and extension letter - they should. But occasionally issues arise, so you may need to have printout of Carrier Guide with you to prove your point to airline manager if you need to. USCIS has no say whatsoever in all of this: they don't control Mexican authorities, airlines nor CBP. They cannot give any reassurance without knowing laws of all other countries and airline rules.

~sarcasm on~ Silver bullet? ~sarcasm off~

If her situation in terms of ties in Germany is similar to what she had in Brazil and the only difference is her being German citizen now, I don't see an approval here. But she can try. If she suddenly found herself running a successful business and purchased a property in Germany, that could improve her chances somewhat.

Great thank you for confirming

Please let's keep it a secret 😃

If she's not sure she can make this decision at the interview. Most likely, during interview would cause more delay. A background check has to be done on her current name and new name. If she files form with new name now, USCIS can perform the check before the interview. If she does it on the day, they'd have to run this check and it will take some time. Name change in most cases means no same day oath, as far as I know. It doesn't matter ask for it now on form or during interview.

Who informed you about waiver in 2024? Did you have I-751 interview? Did you have N-400 interview? Who kept your physical expired card and why? Were you asked to give it?

Hire a lawyer to sue USCIS (file Writ of Mandamus) or do it yourself (I don't recommend this)

Congratulations! Did your spouse come with you? Did IO ask about the spouse's whereabouts? Or spouse wasn't mentioned at all in your case?

Both of you applying for two separate N-400s or just wife applying for her N-400? If she wants to change name, why wait with request until interview? Put it on the form. Fewer new facts or surprises for IO is always better. Name change typically means no same day oath. But others can correct me.

How so? It's not the parents but US citizen spouse petitioning a foreigner. US citizen spouse will always be the principal applicant on I-864 and their parents can be joint sponsors.

If you reponded correctly and your case doesn't have other issues, you'll get a favourable decision. Processing time typically within a few months. I'd let @Familycomment

Yesc absolutely submit all pages of all forms, even if blank. Also submit all pages of evidence, be it 3 page bank statement or 10 page lease agreement. Do not exclude pages, submit everything in full to avoid rejections and RFEs. Yes this is correct if married to US citizen

I don't believe she'd have much more success this time just because she became a German citizen. After all, she's still the same person with same denials in the past. She can try, but she's showing desperation applying for visas every year and for Esta. Does she even have good ties to Germany now? If so, what are they?

Why did you introduce discrepancy and not fill however her passport says the name?

Can you please elaborate? Would this be retrospective? OP's child is already born and already a US citizen. Do you see possibility of denaturalization? It's pretty interesting the US didn't sign The Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness too...

But OPs principal applicant is not the one with assets, it's their parents. Assets are hit or miss and it depends whether they're liquid and there's enough.

The system is most likely designed to deter callers. Everybody worries ahout their cases, but the cases move very slowly and there is not much transparency into where the case is and what's causing the delay. Live agents know very little too and make up stuff half of the times...

USCIS no longer publishes detailed breakdown of processing times per service center for I-751: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ In general expect 2-3 years. There's a reason why 48 month extension letters are given. Whever eligible, one can file for N-400 even with I-751 still pending. N-400 will be approved when I-751 is adjudicated.

So make him send it? Since you paid him for his services

No, once you're married you're married everywhere in the world. You cannot file taxes as single, in fact this can hurt your spouse's future immigration. You need to file taxes as Married Filing Separately or Head of Household. You also will get larger tax break compared to filing single.

How long has she been home in China now after J1 programme finished? If she competes 2 years before interview for K-1 she wouldn't have any issues. Also, why fiance and not marriage route?

She cannot adjust status if she's subject to 212e and hasn't completed 2 years at home. Adjustment of status is part of immigration process after coming on K-1. No adjustment = no green card.

Yes, notifications work 50% of the time, but it's good to include G-1145 just in case.

Did you upload all other evidence? This is for missing evidence
