How did she become a US citizen? You may not need it, but USCIS officer may want to know how she became a citizen and also ask for certificate of naturalization or certificate of citizenship. They may accept US passport, but may also issue RFE.

Agreed

They'd tell the truth

And that's exactly my point

Does she have certificate of naturalization or certificate of citizenship, besides US passport?

I was wondering which question OP wanted to mark as N/A

No, some people get randomly selected. More nowadays than before.... Before COVID everybody went to do biometrics. Reuse was introduced because of the pandemic. Now we're switching back it seems

I guess the rules remained the same, just are being enforced now. I think it's totally fair. Skipping required I-90 and still being granted N-600 seems strange.

Here is few similar threads. I don't think they got expedites: So realistically, moving to Europe or other part of Ukraine is a much better plan than hoping for an expedite to be granted. Even if expedite is granted somehow, it wouldn't solve safety situation. It's not like USA is going to send helicopter to rescue you from warzone. Just leave to safety whenever you can.

Give it a try. Typically there should be hardship for US citizen due to health issues for expedite to be considered. Safety first. As far as I know, Ukrainians can get away from war by going to Europe.

What would be your reason for expedite, @Mariia-02? Like one lawyer likes to say "Why should your case be processed faster than others"?

Just so you know, it will take many years before son can come. Check F3 category in Visa Bulletin: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2026/visa-bulletin-for-october-2025.html

Let's explore this option. @umpalumpa809 when did you naturalize and how long did you live in the US?

This would have been possible if she had GC and lived with you

Congrats with approval! Many see the status you saw earlier when nothing happens, but in your case it masked the approval

This means the case status is lagging behind. If approval letter is there, then case is approved

Doesn't mean much. It's an automated status.

https://www.loc.gov/everyday-mysteries/motor-vehicles-aeronautics-astronautics/item/who-invented-the-automobile/ "There are many different types of automobiles – steam, electric, and gasoline – as well as countless styles. Exactly who invented the automobile is a matter of opinion. Earlier accounts often gave credit to Karl Benz, from Germany, for creating the first true automobile in 1885/1886. However, our knowledge of the invention of the true automobile continues to evolve. The story of the invention of the automobile has become enriched with various other figures who played a part in its history." So in the eyes of the US, first automobile was created in the US. And there's countless examples of different interpretations by different countries. For example, one of the aviation pioneers Sikorsky is claimed to be American by US (lived and worked in the US), Ukrainian by Ukraine (born in Kiev, capital of modern Ukraine) and Russian by Russia (born in Russian Empire technically)

They lived at place B as far as I know. Just because on paper they never left place A, doesn't make it OK to hide the fact they lived at place B

This is typically a red flag. I wouldn't highlight it.

Congratulations! 1) Not very up to date, but core things remain the same 3) Online filing is more convenient 4) P-1 should not affect immigrant petition 5) Not required. You need proof of ongoing relationship. Property in both names is a good evidence of bonafide marriage.

Congrats

@Pink salt is your wife much older than you?

Thanks for sharing, this may not be obvious to some in similar situation.
