    That's the best part! Congratulations on your interview!

    To add to that: there also should enough physical presence in the US, applicant and US citizen sponsor spouse should be living together in marital union all the way until LPR takes oath. Applicant should also be of a good moral character.

    Under which rule are you applying for naturalization @baddi? 3 year rule, based on marriage to US citizen, or 5 year rule? 3 year rule requires a lot more evidence, including bank statements, mortgage statemenet, IRS transcripts for the last 3 years. E.g some evidence may overlap with evidence provided for I-751, depending when you apply, but I'd send it again.

    Yes, I would apply for large passport book (no difference to regular in price) and passport card (yes, additional fee). Passport card is an additional identity document and proof of citizenship. Passport card can be used to cross some land borders (AFAIK Mexico, Canada) and board cruises. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/need-passport/card.html It may be helpful if you lose/damage your passport and need proof of identity / citizenship while waiting for new passport.

    @Elena & Craig sorry to hear your case is taking forever. Hope you get resolution soon! My field office was and still is SF 😃 That's one of the reasons why I'm holding off applying for N-400. Soon enough I will be eligible for 5 year rule (just over a year). Hopefully things will improve by then.

    AFAIK the way it works... 1. Whether you travel alone or as a family, $10k is the total threshold. E.g. the $10k applies to entire family, not per individual. 2. The whole amount must be declared. Not the difference between $20k and $10k limit. E.g. you'd have to declare $20k. People can correct me, but that's my understanding.

    +100. It may be tough provided OP only lived with the spouse for 2 months after coming to the US. IMHO USCIS is not going to be satisfied with initial evidence submitted. There's almost certainly going to be RFE issued and very likely, interview too.
  8. OldUser
    I would
  9. OldUser
    I hope this is some joke or trolling. OP, if not, you're in big trouble. Be ready to be denied ROC and removal proceedings. There was no bonafide marriage in this case.
  10. OldUser
    That's always a good idea to have a copy of everything. And check before sending to USCIS. My lawyer retired while I waited for I-751 adjudication 😃
  11. OldUser
    Well, the issue would be actually re-entering without US passport.
  12. OldUser
    That's very optimistic. I'd say 6-9 months, especially with I-751 pending. But yeah, if my ROC wasn't approved recently I would have applied for N-400 soon.

    Employers cannot demand to see a green card. They should be happy with unrestricted SS card and DL. But yes, citizenship status update is very important. It's just @AffableAndy talked about unrestricted SS card. That can be done way before becoming a citizen.

    Same as below: In short: biometric appointments are very normal. Nothing to worry about. Not everybody's appointment is waived. USCIS haven't even looked at your petition just yet most likely. People scheduling biometrics may be different to people deciding the case. After biometrics it can take months and even over a year before you get approval, RFE, NOID, denial or interview.
  15. OldUser
    Give it a week or two. Letters are much slower than status updates.
  16. OldUser
    @Maria P. 1. Totally a glitch. Check status using https://egov.uscis.gov/ 2. No 3. Yes, did you at least submit copy of I-751 receipt?
  17. OldUser
    Fingers crossed! I think everybody had AOS interview back in the days.
  18. OldUser
    Luckily not. But I had AOS interview. No RFEs either. WAC.
  19. OldUser
    I'm a November 2021 filer. Just got approved 😃
  20. OldUser
    That's nice This could have been done as a permanent resident (even conditional, just a note for others). Congrats on becoming a US citizen!
  21. OldUser
    Update: Hold Mail worked for I-797C (copy or approval notice). Once I receive original notice from the lawyer I will post the final update to provide closure. Filing AR-11 and asking spouse to file I-865 early next week.

    Black tuxedos with bow ties for men and off-white ball dressess for ladies. Shiny shoes. 😃

    You should attend the appointment. Not everybody gets AOS fingerprints reused. Some people get randomly selected to submit fingerprints again. It's totally normal. Nothing to worry about unless you've commited a crime.
  24. OldUser
    My answer remains the same, especially now that we know the divorce was already filed.
  25. OldUser
    You won't start green card process from the beginning. You won't even start removal of conditions process from the beginning. You will convert existing petition to divorce waiver. I'm just saying what you're hoping to do is risky and sometimes causes major headackes later, when you naturalize.
