    So 3 year rule? Why not under 5 year rule? Did you break continuous residence or physical presence? 5 year rule required less evidence and doesn't require proving bonafide marriage.
  2. OldUser
    5 year rule is general provision, not related to employment. Anybody can apply under 5 year rule when they're a resident for 5 years, even the ones married to US citizens if desired.

    I can give you the definitive answer. Yes, NOA1 (Notice of Action #1) is the same as I-797, same as extension letter and the same as receipt. All of these terms describe the same letter. The letter itself should say your green card is extended by 48 months. You may receive separate letter with code to access your petition online.

    This is an interesting question. It looks like you can still succeed filing under regular 5 year rule, given you maintained house, bank account and other ties to the US. I assume you paid US taxes all along? Also you can consider filing under 4 years and 1 day rule. That would bring your filing date to late December 2025 instead of January 2027. If you feel like you have supporting documentation and can build a strong case, you should try filing now. The worst case you'd lose a filing fee. Another important part is whether you spent 30 months in the US in the last 5 years. If you did not, then it's not worth applying now.

    Could be a status glitch too. If formally withdrawn, I'd expect mail in 4-6 weeks confirming it. I wouldn't be re-applying in the meanwhile anyways until this petition is squared away.

    This might have been a mistake. It's always best to wait a few days before applying for N-400 when eligibility window opens. Perhaps withdrawal is better than denial.

    Are you taking responsibility for any errors in their forms? The forms should be typically filled by applicants or their legal representatives. If you're not a lawyer, I'd highly recommend not doing paperwork for other people. Especially if you have questions of this nature. The consequences of filling forms incorrectly may be bad for the family. They can ask questions directly here and VJ will gladly help them.

    It does seem like an offer to withdraw was made... @Hmmehanna has to learn more from wife. What exactly happened at the interview. I think @Hmmehanna should have tried attending the interview since it's based on marriage. Good chance he wouldn't be allowed in, but it was worth trying. Was there I-751 and was it still pending?

    To add: if you came to the US, leased a place, left for a trip few months after arriving, that would be a totally different story and I wouldn't worry at all.
  10. OldUser
    Well, did wife misunderstand the officer and withdraw the case?
  11. OldUser
    If you don't mind risking the filing fee and losing a bit of time you can file. An IO can interpret residency strictly. E.g. if you didn't have permanent address, job, assets in the US - IO can interpret that you didn't reside in the US at that time. I heard of such cases. If I find links, I'll share them.

    She should absolutely get a lawyer. Deportation is not fun. Unless you're planning marrying her, I wouldn't get involved.
  13. OldUser
    Wait a little longer until you won't have to mention it at all (since you look back 5 years from the day you file) Arguably, you didn't start residing in the US until you came back from that trip.

    VOID prevents somebody trying to cash the check. I wonder if somebody USCIS wrote it after withdrawing funds. I wouldn't be too worrieried until 4-6 weeks passed. I see you paid $750, but when did you file?
  15. OldUser
    Wait, why would need extension letter for empoyer? All he he needs to show is unrestricted social security card and state ID / Driver's License for I-9 verification.
  16. OldUser
    Thankfully didn't get flagged as fradulent charge! Good luck!
  17. OldUser
    Yes, you're good to travel with expired GC and this valid original letter until May 20, 2026. Allow additional time when boarding flights back to the US, as not all airline staff is familiar with letters.
  18. OldUser
    That's amazing. So you don't have to worry about stamps for some time!
  19. OldUser
    +1000 Hence my question to OP about moving addresses which never got answered...
  20. OldUser
    Agreed, every GC has address where to mail it of found. Perhaps if @Ad & Ga doesn't want to wait (I wouldn't think this is urgent matter), this can me mailed with proof of delivery...
  21. OldUser
    No it's not true. I-485 will sit undecided in the queue of undecided I-485s however long it needs.
  22. OldUser
    Do not come to the US to adjust. It will be messy if USCIS assumes she had immigrant intent coming on B visa. DCF is already a fast track. AOS is long, expensive and limiting (cannot work, cannot travel for some time).
  23. OldUser
    @Vickys_Mom out of curiousity, how does one call a person without first name? Do they get referred to by last name by family members? If so, how do you distinguish who's being called if everybody in family shares the same last name?
  24. OldUser
    Yet another data point for @pushbrk.

    That's why I always recommend filing for N-600 https://finance.yahoo.com/news/florida-retiree-cant-claim-social-112200636.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=YW5kcm9pZC1hcHA6Ly9jb20uZ29vZ2xlLmFuZHJvaWQuZ29vZ2xlcXVpY2tzZWFyY2hib3gv&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAB2BX7avwMMqzPlSiyUt_OJHlq9b5Ig_YFk7dYQaPzyJvtDZzVHT6q95U8IIXrlNEUdFXTaB1iJvVESTvrvLgOhqBCLsN0yMfnJ3HIRaI1UzlGkvzAT2MbWX6M-M69ahS-a2bYgwcVHU0ank92b2g6of0zlzLYyHF1Gu-kwE1jKE
