You don't know. And nobody here knows. But with pending I-751 you always assume and hope it's a combo interview. Bring your spouse and evidence to the interview. Yes, this happens. You can pass N-400 but get welcomed with "decision cannot be made" because of pending I-751. You'd have to wait for I-751 to get approved before N-400 is approved. It can take hours, days, weeks or months. Each case is unique.

Yes, it's a letter HR or your boss can give you. It should say your name, when you started working at the company, your job title, annual salary or hourly wages. Don't know if USCIS want it from you or your spouse. I'd get both just in case. Already answered in your own thread:

It's worth having for me. I always hear the stories of my colleagues spending a while to go through immigration at the airport near me. For me it takes less than 5 minutes usually because of Global Entry. Worth it for me, also getting it for free with CC. In addition, GE comes with TSA Pre, meaning I have much smoother experience going through security. E.g. no shoes or belt to remove, laptop in the bag, shorter line etc.

Received I-797C in the mail today, 48 month extension. Will ask my lawyer for original.

Once you add the case using code, you'll be able to download notices.

Did you add the case in your myUSCIS account? Did it ask you for some sort of access code after entering case number?

Yes, I remember seeing people mentioning IOE on this forum for I-751. Congratulations, you'll be able to see and download all notices in your myUSCIS account before they're physically sent to you.

Yes that was my other suggestion which I forgot to add to previous post. The case IDs are sequential when filing concurrently, that's how all my cases were during AOS. You can put that number, especially if the case status for it mentions I-131 when you check online.

Have you tried putting all the other info omitting receipt number?

Yes, usually they're sent together. Did you receive other notices by mail already? If so, you can request the missing I-131 NOA here: https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDNForm.do?sroPageType=ndn&entryPoint=init If you haven't received notices, give it few days before submitting request for I-131.

This is a delicate situation. How long has your wife been present in the US on this trip? To adjust on basis of marriage to LPR, one should be in valid immigration status, all the way up to AOS approval. Only US citizen's spouse overstay and unauthorized work is forgiven. If your wife overstayed by more than 6 months but less than a year, she will have a 3 year bar on entering to the US, if she leaves now. If she overstayed by more than a year, she will have a 10 year bar on entry! Are you thinking of naturalizing? How soon can you naturalize? This may be a solution. E.g. naturalize first and then petition for her. Do not submit anything before that. If she's lawfully here now and didn't overstay, she needs to leave the US before her status ends. And you will file I-130 for consular processing in this case. Regarding the question about pending I-130 and her visiting. Yes, it's possible, but not guaranteed. She cannot lie to CBP if they ask whether she has family in the US or say she's travelling as a tourist with a toddler etc. There's a thread discussing just that: Good luck!

Note the different extension period in the letter. The first NOA letter probably didn't extend your status by 48 months, it was shorter.

You have to bring your spouse unless you want your case to get derailed. If your husband got sick, would he still go to fulfill his obligation? Or would he reschedule it? It's all in your hands.

Not even biometrics reuse? YSC is slow compared to WAC. 48 month extension letters are being sent for a reason unfortunately...

This is automatic. If you look, it's also 48 months instead of 24 months, so it's not a duplicate.

People been complaining about it for months now. Check status either in app or here: https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do

WAC filer. Took close to 150 days.

No news for me for 333 days. No 48 month extension, last news was biometric reuse. Good luck!

There's people from 2021 still waiting, I wouldn't be worried just yet. There's a reason 48 month extension letters are being sent...

In addition to travel, also she may need to consider if she's inheriting anything any time soon or has foreign property already. She may keep her old name back in her country and new name in the US, but I'd never advice it because how do you answer "What's your legal name" question from authorities 😃

@Freeegg note though, she would have to update her passport of origin with up to date last name if she changes it. Depending on the country of origin, this may be easy or difficult. She can also travel with old last name in passport, but will have to carry marriage certificate to prove name change. The best times to change name: - Now - When she files N-400 in the future The worst times to change the name: - After AOS and before N-400

Wait @Kyuutie what is your current status? Do you have a conditional 2 year GC? Are you travelling with it and valid extension letter? So names on extension letter and GC match?

No problem, this and many more can be found in N-400 instructions. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/n-400instr.pdf

I don't understand why OP decided to lose 3 months. The passport renewal could have been initiated 3 months ago without contacting embassy / consulate. Unless they hit a roablock somewhere. My December 2022 response mentioned the link to get it started.

Imagine somebody comes to study at a US college, 4 year program on student visa. After 3 years of being in the US they meet somebody and decide to get married. They can then adjust status while studying at college. Also I-485 is used when entering the US on K-1 fiance visa.
