    WoM is the only solution that gives you some certainty. If you file N-400 nothing stops USCIS scheduling your interview when you're out of the US. WoM forces them to give you a decision within 60 days.

    Yes, there's definitely a risk of you missing the interview and getting denied. Usually you're supposed to have an interview letter and case status update. Usually USCIS gives a few weeks notice. That said, you never know when you're going to be approved or called for an interview. I watched cases around mine. Some were approved in November 2022. In January-February it got quiet. My friend got approved in May 2023. I had 2 trips between November 2022 and August 2023 when I got approved. I would've missed those trips for no reason. Was there a risk? Yes. Was it that big? No. If you only travel for 2-3 weeks, you should be OK.

    Agreed, death certificate is the last resort.

    I believe the filing fee is under $500. You don't have to pay over $5000 for a lawyer, it can be done yourself: Either way, your I-751 can be approved between now and year or two away. If you don't have urgency to naturalize such as: - Wanting to sponsor parents, kids etc for GC - Wanting to take a job requiring US citizenship - Needing to travel overseas or move there for a year or more then you can just live with conditional GC and extension letter until USCIS makes a decision.

    WoM on I-751 is a possible solution.

    Not true. My I-751 got approved without filing N-400. I know somebody personally with the same story. Though, if end goal is naturalize quicker, then there is no point of waiting for I-751 approval. My timeline: December 2021 - I-751 sumbitted April 2022 - Biometrics reused August 2023 - I-751 approved

    Probably slow field office.
  8. OldUser
    Yes, I'd put the current address.

    This is generic. What do you think is holding your case? Do you have pending I-751? Where you ever married back in Nigeria? Did you seek an asylum in the US? Did you commit any crimes?
  10. OldUser
    AFAIK immediate relative still can be hit with misrepresentation, which makes them inadmissible? Then the whole I-601 comes into play.

    USCIS number is the same as alien number. It's printed on your GC. USCIS number is not the same as USCIS online account.
  12. OldUser
    You're not a permanent resident until GC is approved. Have you filed for EAD and Advance Parole? This is what you could have used in the interim, while I-485 is pending.

    Depends on your luck

    Yes, she won't be approved for citizenship under 3 year rule, given the divorce. She'd have to re-apply under 5 year rule herself.
  15. OldUser
    Ok then, yes, you need to find your divorce docs.

    According to this website https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2023/visa-bulletin-for-september-2023.html: "individuals seeking to file applications for adjustment of status with USCIS must use the “Final Action Dates” charts below for determining when they can file such applications. " She should be under F2A category. According to table on the website, she cannot adjust her status, because the backlog is several years. I'd recommend CR-1

    Were you married to your second ex at the time the first ex was still alive?
  18. OldUser
    Did your parents say they're coming for 2 months?

    Do you mean a crewmember (D) visa? What's the purpose of his visit? If it's not related to work on a vessel, he should not use it.
  20. OldUser
    Get new AOS filed. Withdraw old petition by writing to USCIS. Expect scrutiny. Best not to do on your own as @Crazy Cat mentioned.
  21. OldUser
    Did you know your current spouse before you met your ex US citizen spouse who sponsored you for GC? This may be an issue in the process. AOS may not work depending on visa bulletin (you're not a US citizen) and visa rules itself.
  22. OldUser
    Congratulations! Now if your plan is to naturalize, your clock likely was reset so you have to count 5 years from the date you returned back to the US. I would also not travel outside of the US for a while to allow dust to settle.

    You can create a new account if you need it. If it's asking for alien number, that's number on your Green Card.
  24. OldUser
    File WoM on I-751, get decision on it and this will likely unblock N-400.
  25. OldUser
    How did you get the first work authorization? Through employer? EAD through AOS by marriage is different application. When you file AOS as a packet (I-130, I-130A, I-485, I-131, I-765, I-864) - you don't need to include separate payment for EAD (I-765). You also don't need to pay for I-131.
