It may be that after becoming a US citizen, the OP's husband may lose citizenship in their country (depending on laws of that country). And the laws of the country may not allow ownership by foreign citizens. If that's the case: Inherit => Sell => Become a US citizen

Great, thank you for providing the update. I think this is similar to raising Non-Delivery request here https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDNForm.do; jsessionid=08E5FD1FD9BC*****************6F3?sroPageType=ndn&entryPoint=init

I don't know if I trust that response over the phone? USCIS tier 1 officers are known to give some random answers to get people off the phone and go to next caller.

Passport stamps for example.

Just wait. After 120 days by law you can sue USCIS to get a decision by filing Writ of Mandamus

You haven't entered yet. What GC are you talking about?

You can try if you really want to visit. No guarantees you will get the visa even with medical.

Yes you can continue using Global Entry even with pending I-751. I travelled several times. The worst case you will have to see a human if machine tells you to. Once I had full face recognition kiosk which never asked me to scan documents - it was seamless. Other times is prompted me to scan document. I've read before LPR is supposed to use GC to enter the US. So with expired GC and extension letter it obviously didn't work and I had to see a person every time. Now I learned you can use passport instead. I cannot test it now since I have a 10 year GC already. I heard people updating their Global Entry profiles by extending validity if GC based on extension letter. I have not tried that since I was worried it wasn't right to do. Whenever I spoke to Global Entry personnel at enrollment center (I tried walking in twice), they said they cannot update system from their end with extension letter. I'd try updating expiration in profile and entering on passport if you're brave enough. Otherwise you can always use GE line and see a person. ~ Not a legal advice ~

Yes there's a whole thread about it: I personally travelled 4 or 5 times internationally during I-751. You need to ensure you have: - Valid passport with enough pages and enough validity, depending on the country you're going to. Some countries require 2 blank pages and 6 months validity remaining as a minimum. - Expired conditional GC - Valid 48 months extension letter. You will need to arrive to airport early when heading back to the US. For the most part airline personnel know what extension letter is, but some do not know and you have to explain / talk to their supervisor. Good luck!

You get it on the day you take oath. When you apply for a US passport you may need to send it with paperwork. Yes, the original. Yes, scary stuff!

I'm not 100% sure how travelling on birth certificate works, especially for a dual citizen (if the child is both US and Canadian). Photo ID such as passport is the best proof. Plus you don't want to lose the birth certificate.

I-131 is not required for travel that is shorter than 6 months for a GC holder.

Unless crossing by land, the husband needs to renew Canadian passport. The kid needs to get a passport too. It well may be the child is both a US and Canadian citizen. In that case, US passport will be sufficient for travel, but can get a Canadian in addition.

Good luck!

1. Please apply for naturalization (N-400). Neutralization sounds scary. 2. If you only spent 5 months outside of the US in the last 5 years, you're good. Nothing to worry about. You can file 90 days before your 5 year anniversary of Resident Since date. Make sure you paid taxes in the last 5 years, didn't have any crimes etc which would disqualify you based on good moral character requirement.

If it was one one trip (e.g. no returns to US in between), you can probably group them into one trip. Only list countries you actually entered (e.g. went through immigration). If you went through connecting flight without leaving terminal and going through immigration control, then don't list that country.

No problem to change name. If you live separately, don't file taxes jointly or don't share finances - that name change could be linked to other things weakening the case.

No problem, especially if your last name will match husband's or vice versa

Yes

Yes, you must disclose all of your citizenships. Bring all the papework for it too, including passport.

Why did you have to go for 10 minutes explaining? Did officer keep asking questions? I imagine conversation could go like this: - Were you in the US before age of 26? - Yes - What status were you in? - F-1 student - Studying what? - Mechanical engineering - OK (typing something on computer). Did you start telling the story? Were you asked to tell the story? Sometimes telling too much without being asked can hurt the approval. I'm glad everything worked out in the end.

@rustyf "Actively reviewed status" typically is a transitional status. Many don't see anything happening for months. Estimates on USCIS website are largely inaccurate. I hope the case gets approved soon, but realistically you should be ready to wait for a year. Good luck!

That's not OK. Is being married to multiple people legal in Philippines?

Typically birth certificate is required. If not available, there's a list of alternative documents depending on the country. Check here https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html/
