    It's OK. Don't be worried, you lost it. You will be approved most likely. Ideally you should have filed a police report when you lost it. First, it's evidence, second - you may be a victim of identity theft in the future. When you renewed your passport, did country of your origin never ask about old passport?

    That's a good sign I suppose. GC is likely going to be approved soonish. USCIS got greedy lately, and doesn't issue as many EAD / AP cards, rather approve GC.

    Another comment about evidence. I don't know how things work nowadays, but for my AOS packet I did not repeat any evidence. My lawyer pretty much included payments first, followed by cover letter, followed by index page, followed by all forms, followed by evidence. Evidence was not organized by form. Rather by category, e.g. biographical pages, bank statements, photographs etc. It was shared by all the forms. Never had an issue but others way have a reason to duplicate evidence for each form.

    Hi, I have feedback about photos. My lawyer at the time advised me scanning all photos into digital format. Then, paste 3-4 photos per page in Word or Google Sheet. Annotate each photo with date, occasion, location and names and relation of people on it. Then print and include in the packet. This will make scanning photos waaaay easier for the person doing this work. They'll just try to unpack everything you sent and shove entire stack of papers in large industrial scanner. I'm sure they can deal with individual photos but I bet it's time consuming.

    Which case got transferred? I-485? That's normal, likely going to have an interview. If she hasn't received EAD, maybe USCIS want to review entire AOS packet together and issue GC instead after interview.

    There's two schools of thought. Each method has advantages and disadvantages.

    I doubt you will receive replacement card with I-751 pending. However, to get I-551 stamp that could be used for proof of status, USCIS typically wants to see I-90. You can try getting Infopass and getting passport stamp before filing I-90. If successful, you don't need it. Extension letter on its own is worthless. Extension letters also won't extend the stamp. Police report is useful to prove you did due diligence when naturalizing. Of course you will receive 10 year GC eventually if you don't apply for N-400.

    If you want to be bulletproof, naturalize under 5 year rule so marital union is never questioned. It's also taking about control from US citizen as you won't be relying on them going to your interview A picky immigration officer may deny N-400 based on 3 year rule due to break of marital union as you spent few months apart.

    It would say that regardless of whether there was anything wrong with application. It's just an automated status.

    No, US citizen has all the power until GC is approved, unless I-130 is already filed and immigrant claims abuse through WAVA. He cannot send her back, she's not an object. But she would not be able to legally stay in the US without husband changing mind. Given this huge argument occurred so early in the process, I would advice not proceeding with I-130 even if they make up. Too much risk of another argument further down the line of immigration journey. Legal divorce and leaving the US sound like a sensible option.

    It will say I-797 and mention I-485 😊
  14. OldUser
    4-6 weeks after filing you'll receive I-485 receipt. That's the proof.
  15. OldUser
    It varies from office to office. Call them up and ask to clarify.

    When in doubt, you can wait?

    Did you use your own USCIS account to add spouse's case? Or is this a new account you set up for your spouse? If the first, is this yours A number? Either way, the spouse can get it corrected during biometrics appointment.

    Waiting for RFE strategy only adds delay in overall case processing. There's no downside to attaching copy of DS-3025 in initial filing to give case reviewer instant reminder somebody completed medical already.

    I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet. It's only been two weeks. You can read this recent thread where somebody was worried their packet got lost and filed for second time: Even in the worst case scenario, if USCIS rejects your packet ans returns it, you'll still have close to 2 months to file again. Please prepare for long waits in this process. I-751 is painfully slow overall. My I-751 took close to 21 months. And there was a gap after biometrics reuse to decision of 15 months when there was no status change, no letter, nothing from USCIS! There was a 6-8 weeks gap at the beginning after sending the packet, and close to 6 months gap to get biometrics reused update.

    You proved once again estimates are worthless.
  21. OldUser
    If she got all required vaccinations and medical is still valid, she doesn't need a new one.
  22. OldUser
    I guess some will start applying for N-400. Based on my experience I-751 takes almost two years for most people.
  23. OldUser
    I think USCIS rushed the notice and then realized they're not ready to conduct the interview.
  24. OldUser
    4-6 weeks to receive I-797 in the mail. Maybe 8 with fee waiver. I'd only start worrying on May 1 or beyond.

    One payment, one form. Keep in mind, if your bank declines the transaction on credit card, then the packet will be returned to you. It's shocking, but USCIS fees flag as fradulent charges by many banks from time to time.
