  1. I only travel internationally 1-2 times a year. It's totally worth it to me, because the airports I use have a long lines when entering the US. I would have spend additional 30-60 minutes for immigration. Also, I travel domestically another 2 times a year. With TSA PreCheck included, it also reduces time for me. Additionally, the TSA folks at PreCheck and officers at GE seem subjectively nicer and kinder. At least it was my observation. With GE facial recognition kiosks, there were times I didn't have to interact with anybody at all when entering the US.
  2. Did USCIS tell you to send the card to them? Typically one should always keep original documents until USCIS asks for it. You may get GC instead of corrected EAD.
  3. You're worried for no reason. Did you keep the lease / mortgage in the US while travelling? Did you keep the job in the US while travelling?
  4. You potentially naturalize faster. The 90 days can be used by USCIS to study your case, run background checks and even schedule you for interview if you're lucky.
  5. Most likely, biometrics will be reused. But there is a chance you may be called for appointment. If you file online, many get biometrics reused almost instantly. This will give you more assurance to travel without worry.
  6. The holiday season and election is also coming, which can potentially slow things down. Good luck!
  7. Did USCIS acknowledge receiving RFE response? Unfortunately yes, RFEs slow things down a lot.
  8. According to OP, some message on website when trying to book appointment. It would be nice to see a screenshot...
  9. Most of the times USCIS doesn't acknowledge receving unsolicited mail. But a lot of times they take it into consideration. Did you send it as certified USPS mail, UPS, FedEx? Essentially, do you have a proof of delivery? If you have proof of delivery, in case of denial you can always show it and defend yourself saying you made an effort and it is documented. As long as you're still married to the same person, yes.
  10. Yes, you can go for a trip. The only concern is if you're scheduled for biometrics when you're out. Are you planning filing online or on paper? Also see my modified answer with more detail about filing date.
  11. Unless you have a lot of trips in the last 3 years that puts your physical presence at risk, you don't need to offset your 20 day trip. You can file in the 90 day window (if you never had trips lasting over 180 days for a single trip in the last 3 years) Also, I don't think your calculation is correct. 26 Feb 2025 minus 90 days is November 28, 2024. 90 days is not the same as 3 months. Given November 28, 2025 is Thanksgiving, just file the following Monday, December 2 to be on safe side.
  12. Why not file online? If N-400 edition is still the same, include page 12 and cover letter explaining you added missing page, and resend everything. Make sure nothing else is missing, the evidence is there and the fees are correct.
  13. 4 months of wait is blazing fast considering typically N-400 takes a year or so.
  14. Not sure how this solves the problem? Physical, not mailing addresses to be listed on N-400.
  15. Online https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov
  16. No agents would want to see original watermarked notice, not electronic copy. Most of times the issue is airline not letting boarding the plane, not CBP in the US. Make sure to arrive to airports earlier. Some airline agents never dealt with extension letters and don't know what to do.
  17. Let us know if you learn anything
  18. Seems like a delayed notification
  19. This statistics probably includes other documents obtained by filing I-131 such as Refugee Travel Documend Re-entry Permit. Those take longer than Advance Parole. Yes, it's a lot of money, but nobody can also guarantee your GC will be processed fast.
  20. AFAIK RFEs typically set the case back by few months. 3 weeks would be sweet.
  21. This is normal. You have two different applications, which can be assigned to two different officers. Also, NBC could have transfered the case for her to local field office, and not yet transfer yours.
  22. Yeah, bur those are exceptions not the norm.
  23. It's only been a month. It's normal.
  24. You can be always asked by USCIS to provide that tax return. If I, an amateur, immediately pointed this out, imagine how quickly the trained eye of Immigration Officer will notice it. Hopefully they'll be satisfied with bank statements evidence so this won't come up.
