    100% agree with this statement. I do not agree with this approach. Later in immigration, OP may be asked about addresses and dates at those addresses. So will they have to tell untruth to match submitted forms? 3 days is nothing in the grand scheme of things. I'd move first and then file with the new address on forms.

    Any data points? I've never hear about this. Personal checks in my experience, was a preferred payment method for USCIS fees.

    Yes, generally you're free to marry after divorce and any statutory period that a state may impose. Also, keep in mind, if you're sponsoring an immigrant, and yourself got citizenship through marriage to a US citizen, this can result in more attention from USCIS.

    I understand your frustration. I'm a December 2021 filer. Only got approved a few weeks ago.

    She can file N-400 whenever she's eligible, even if I-751 is still pending.
  6. OldUser
    It means you have to get ready for I-751 interview. I'd also prepare for N-400 in case if decide to do it as a combo. Make sure to take additional evidence and your US citizen spouse. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

    @Xabier11 it's the game you have to play to get the immigration benefit. It may seem frustrating that you have to prove your marriage three times: at AOS, at ROC and NAT stage (under 3 year rule), but that's just the way it is. I can only understand how annoying this may be. IO saying something during interview is not legally binding. What really matters is the written communication. USCIS sent RFE. If you want to get naturalized, you need to satisfy their request.

    Ok, how much evidence of bonafide marriage did you submit with your N-400? I know you provided some for I-751, and it got approved, but USCIS is within their rights to see more evidence since I-751 filing etc for the purposes of N-400, because it's filed under 3 year rule. Everything is a fair play until you take your oath and have certificate of naturalization in hand.

    Did you file N-400 under 3 or 5 year rule?

    Where are you going to stay? If you have a hotel etc you can provide their contact details.

    I suspect it's a question about people in the US OP knows. Screenshot would be helpful though.
  12. OldUser
    No, it shouldn't be a problem. You can always explain it to the officer, saying you weren't aware of requirement to file, and once you learned you filed taxes for 2018.
  13. OldUser
    Even if you were a LPR for 1 day in 2018, you needed to file taxes for 2018. I believe you can still file it. I also believe you may have exclusions for your income for the part of the year you weren't a LPR.

    Also @MunnoTheCat please explain how you came to conclusion that I said OP's case was delayed because of fraud etc? I've only said that it takes a trained officer to conduct combo interview, and this could possibly explain the delay. However, there may be many other reasons why it is delayed, and not necessarily because of the case itself.

    I was answering subsequent set of questions: Not sure how fear is created, highlighting the word "only" in my reply, I think it's important: @Mike E @Crazy Cat may have better data points, but this article from allegedly former USCIS officer explains that not everybody is trained equal at USCIS. And I tend to believe it. Did you ever have somebody at DMV / SSA asking their manager to intervene because they don't know what to do?
  16. OldUser
    I believe you're should be able to get visa. I don't have personal experience. ESD may know better.

    You may have a problem boarding the plane back to the US, even though you're supposed to be boarded. Are you going to file I-90 / I-751 (whichever applies) before leaving?
  18. OldUser
    Yes, both LPR seeking naturalization and US citizen should attend. US citizen will likely not be allowed for N-400, but may be asked to join I-751. It only gets tough or tricky if IO suspects immigration fraud or questions the marriage.
  19. OldUser
    This also requires IO who knows how to conduct marriage based N-400. Especially if you have pending I-751.
  20. OldUser
    Apply for ESTA. If denied, apply for visit visa. You must disclose your criminal record in relevant questions on the forms.
  21. OldUser
    I think it all depends on how badly you want to naturalize.
  22. OldUser
    I always ask lawyers to send me a draft before submission. Then I review everything, correct mistakes if any and ask questions if any. One is always responsible for petition, whether filing DIY or with a lawyer.
  23. OldUser
    Luckily, I never received an RFE because I hired a good, credible lawyer. I think it's always best to ask lawyer the question "who pays for RFE?" before hiring. A good lawyer would not charge for their own mistakes.
  24. OldUser
    You can always try applying, but chance of approval is pretty low. You can meet elsewhere in the world.

    Not every case gets biometric reuse. By default, everybody should do biometrics, but then many get it reused. Reusing biometrics was also related to COVID. I wonder if they're asking more people to come to the appointment now.
