  1. Are you from the Middle East originally by any chance ? If yes, add this and the delay is not surprising, sadly: I'd say WoM is the way to go
  2. Are you applying based on marriage or under general provision? Do you have I-751 pending? Do you have any criminal history?
  3. If you have this lawyer as your lawyer, consider firing him. If you thought about hiring this lawyer, please avoid at all costs. There is no problem with filing for I-90 with N-400 pending. You're LPR, you're not applying to get a new status. You already have the status, just renewing the card.
  4. I thought we're talking about US immigration here? US will accept Utah online marriage if it was consumated.
  5. Now that you give us more information, it's clearer the case is pretty difficult. When you removed conditions, was in approved based on joint filing or divorce waiver?
  6. I think you know all of your options. I'd file I-90 to have proof of status. You can continue working and remain in the US when GC expires, but it's best to have proof of status.
  7. Did you ever have conditional GC?
  8. After start of GC. Do you have 10 year GC? What's the resident since date?
  9. Some states don't even have fault divorce. For example, California. @rocanrol which state are you filing divorce in?
  10. To be more specific, you can apply for citizenship after 5 years of being lawful permanent resident like everybody. If you have conditional GC, you have to file I-751 like everybody else to get conditions removed. Sorry about your marriage.
  11. No, adultery is not rewarded in any way.
  12. There is no ban or restriction from US government to having dual citizenship. They just consider you only a US citizen no matter how many other citizenships you hold.
  13. Do you have proof of delivery?
  14. Don't believe anything agent says
  15. Theoretically you can ask to amend your N-400 to use General Provision. There's also a chance you may never be asked for her birth certificate so you can try your luck. Bring everything you have. Also, her mother doesn't own your spouse's birth certificate. Realistically your wife can also go as far as filing a police report to get her vital document back.
  16. You're still LPR. If you met residency requirements (physical presence, continuous residence, good moral character) in the last 5 years, you're going to be OK naturalizing. You can consult a lawyer if you're worried, but I don't see an issue. You also had reentry permit. All of this fear was instigated by a CBP who had a bad day, doesn't know immigration law well and doesn't get to decide whether you'll naturalize.
  17. Yes sorry for a typo. I'd say first week of Jan is safe. Mail is slower during holiday week plus nobody's gonna work on it during Xmas / NY
  18. Why is this a worry? You may end up having I-751 decided without interview, in separate or combo interview. This is true for every US state and territory. You cannot predict how it will go.
  19. If you're moving to the US permanently it makes sense taking originals of important documents such as birth certificate with you. Obviously, carry those with you and don't leave in checked bags. Good luck!
  20. Estimated times is a joke. People with only 9 days in a process getting message "Your case is taking longer than expected". Meanwhile others who went through interview have months until decision according to status, but not in reality. This is all based on my observations on VJ. Yes, I-751 adds time. N-400 cannot be decided without it. It takes time for local field office to get files from service center to perform combo interview or decide on I-751 before N-400.
  21. Congratulations! I hope you get a positive decision soon. Keep us updated.
  22. Many of these jumps are faster and cheaper overseas compared to the hoops to jump in the US. Inability to work after entering on K-1 for 6-12 months can be considered oportunity loss. We can be talking tens of thousands of dollars that could have been earned would a person enter on CR-1. If it means spensing few days / weeks to get paperwork sorted, I'd jump through those hoops. But it's me.
  23. January is still to come. Hopefully there won't be any large events in big cities then.
  24. If you were flexible with travel plans, I'd say apply today. You can still apply today, if you're ok with potentially getting denied and losing filing fee if you miss appointments or interview.
