    1c - no indication or solid evidence electronic filing is faster than paper filing or vice versa.

    5 - tax return statements are worth submitting. You can be asked for them in RFE or at the interview. They demonstrate good moral character. Don't look for the ways to minimize evidence, better build a strong case from the beginning.

    @visa38579843 did you move since filing I-751? Were AR-11 and I-865 filed in timely manner?
  4. OldUser
    Just use married name in I-751. List maiden name in Other Names Used field.
  5. OldUser
    You got wrong information from tier 1. By law, LPR must file AR-11 within 10 days of moving. By law, sponsor must file I-865 within 30 days of moving. It doesn't matter if there is an active case or there isn't. It's not funny actually, because if mail gets lost, this means ROC extension letter, RFE, GC or other important mail can get lost too when sent to this address.

    Sorry cannot help because I'm the immigrant and I had SSN for a long time, before I even adjusted status.

    6-9 months is pretty typical to get EAD. Some lucky people get it in the 2-3 months, but that's more of an exception than a rule

    Yes, you can return to the US at any point with valid GC and reentry permit. When it comes to naturalization in the US, if your husband spends 6 months or more outside of the US, then he'll have to wait full 3 or 5 years again to naturalize. I'd monitor closely the changes in German laws. If it's not urgent and you can wait for 2-3 years, maybe he should naturalize first once German laws get passed. The kid will become the citizen by operation of the law. Then you're all free to go to Germany and live there however much you want. And won't have to deal with USCIS ever again.

    Why not file online using Turbotax? You'd get tax return transcript much quicker and any refund. I filed on Feb 18, got refund on Mar 6, tax return transcript was available on IRS website for download before March 10 (don't remember exactly)
  10. OldUser
    Typically yes. But sometimes USCIS processes the cases from the other other end to improve processing times on paper.

    Sometimes live person (tier 1 agent) gives wrong information. Do you have a question VJ can help with?

    I-751 has to be approved in order for N-400 to be approved. It can be filed with I-751 pending. Worst case, if I-751 is denied, N-400 is denied. You'd have to get conditions removed and then re-apply for N-400
  13. OldUser
    I think that's your call. It looks like you have a strong case and a lot of evidence under 3 year rule. You may be able to naturalize this year. N-400s gets processed fast on election year. If you're not in a hurry, then you can naturalize next year. However, we do not know who's going to be the next president, and how would that affect USCIS processing times and policies. If you think you'd want to vote, then there is a chance of naturalizing before the elections.

    Excellent point. If @Black Sand is close (few months away) to be or already is eligible to apply under 5 year rule, then I'd go with that.

    Similar to evidence question: you're applying based on marriage. A good indication your marriage is strong and bonafide is spouse coming with you to support you on this important day in your immigration journey. Even with no conditions being removed, VJ members had experiences when either spouse was present at N-400 interview OR asked a few informal questions. Tell the person at the entrance you're applying based on marriage. Many IO officers would be much kinder and more easy going if your spouse is actually inside in the waiting area. Good luck!
  16. OldUser
    No, this shouldn't be a problem. You could ask to be bulletproof but I wouldn't think it's needed if you have tons of other evidence.
  17. OldUser
    If you were applying under 5 year rule I'd bring small subset. However, you're applying under 3 year rule. If you already have a pile, my personal choice would be to bring that pile (organize it of course). Reason being: you'd show the officer you're serious about the case. Morally you'd start the interview with a stronger hand. I'm sure having a lot of evidence will reduce chance of officer doubting you don't have enough evidence.
  18. OldUser
    No way to know or predict. You should assume you will have an appointment. If it's waived - great.
  19. OldUser
    Who's he and why would he know? I don't think random folks working at biometrics center would be allowed to know anything about your case. Their job is easy. Check ID, take fingerprints, send information to some database. The officer who handles your case may know why you were required to do biometrics. But maybe even he doesn't know for sure, got an instruction from computer because your name got flagged by other government agency.

    If you missed the interview, you would've had case denied. Congratulations, it seems like somebody who looked at your file concluded your case was strong enough to approve without interview. Expect approval notice in few weeks, followed by Green Card in separate mail in another several weeks. Once you get approval letter and GC in hand, make sure to take digital and physical copies just in case. And then get yourself some treat as you survived I-751!
  21. OldUser
    4-6 weeks

    Is it possible you didn't have all required vaccinations as part of DS-3025? Sometimes wording on RFE is vague.
  23. OldUser
    Social Security office is known to be requesting COC. Sometimes it get asked at passport renewal too.
  24. OldUser
    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
