Depends on the laws of country. When taking oath becoming a US citizen, you promise to: "that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; " Now imagine you're back in Pakistan and a war breaks out. Based on Pakistan's constitution, you may be required to fight in that war (please confirm with experts in Pakistani's laws). US citizenship won't help as you're a dual citizen and have duties to both countries. If you renounced Pakistani citizenship you probably won't need to participate in defending it.

Yes, you have duties to each country of citizenship, such as military service.

Not required but I would include copy of extension letter to make sure reviewer is aware you have I-751 pending.

They don't need a new SSN. They already have it. It's given once in a lifetime.

Looks like you had to start with I-90 for your green card error...

Data point: https://np.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/boa88b/basically_forced_to_withdraw_application_at/ "He disappears and is gone for 10-ish minutes, apparently talking to a supervisor, comes back and tells me that my I-751 shouldn't have been processed because according to my divorce papers my wife and I separated 10 months prior to the I-751 being finalized, even though the final divorce date was 4 months AFTER that. Essentially he gives me the option of having my application denied, detained and to go in front of an immigration judge and potential deportation, or "voluntarily" withdraw my application. I was in complete shock, I've been living here perfectly happy with my 10 year green card not knowing there was some technicality that would prevent me from becoming a citizen, I ask if I can speak to someone else, he says no that he already spoke to his supervisor and that's where the options came from and that he couldn't offer me any kind of advice on the situation. He was extremely rude, blunt and not helpful or sympathetic at all. Pushed a blank piece of paper in front of me with a pen and made me write out that I withdraw my application."

I guess the question is in the title of this thread. Do people miss the times they're waiting for the next immigration benefit? The thrill of getting your case approved etc. I got I-751 approved not too long ago, and it feels strange not to be waiting for something from USCIS. I will be applying for N-400 at some point. Wondering how does it feel like after becoming a citizen?

I think lawyer the OP is talking to soon can come up with the best strategy. Obviously this path: Notify USCIS now => Get RFE for divorce decree => OP's divorce not finalized in time => Denial is not good. But there's a remedy: refile I-751. But the other path is not any better: Don't notify USCIS just yet => I-751 is approved before divorce is final => Misrepresentation / fraud accusation during N-400 is not any better. IMHO it's better to get I-751 denied than wrongly approved on premise of marital union in bonafide marriage. OP's I-751 has been pending for almost a year now. Surely, most I-751s take close to 2 years nowadays, but there's a risk it get approved sooner randomly.

That's true, but I am a strong believer no LPR with pending I-751 should ever assume: 1) The fingerprints will be reused 2) No interview will be required 3) The case will be processed within timeframe of posted processing times Being prepared for everything generally helps in my opinion. I've seen people on VJ being suprized they were called for interview, even though they had one at AOS stage.

Every change of address requires AR-11 whether GC holder is single, married,, separated, divorce or widowed. It's not tied to I-751.

What if he gets approved meanwhile? He must submit change of address via AR-11.

Most importantly evidence from the time you entered the US until now.

Something is better than nothing. You have to gather a lot of evidence.

Looks like a somewhat complicated case. A lawyer can definitely advice whether it's approvable. It should be in my opinion, but requires a lot of work and more evidence.

I'm sorry the marriage isn't working out. The photos are great, but what else do you have? - Joint tax return transcripts - Statements from joint bank accounts - Copies of IDs with matching address - Utility bills with both names - Lease / mortgage with both names ^ Do you have evidence of this sort? It is needed for I-751 approval with divorce waiver. It's unlikely I-751 is going to be approved in "separated" state.

You also need to divorce. Is this being worked on?

You have a great chance of getting 10 year GC approved if you have enough evidence of bonafide marriage. Do you have a list of everything you submitted with I-751 and new evidence since then? Also it helps if your spouse would cooperate with you. Would she support you or get in the way?

So how did you enter? What are the stamps in your passport if any? I'm not 100% sure what status you're in and whether you're admissable for the purposes of new I-485. That might be a question to a lawyer.

The other way round

To add to that: AR-11 can be filed online. When you submit it you get confirmation instantly. Save it. I-865 can only be filed on paper. You will get confirmation in the mail few weeks later.

Yes, it's worth filing AR-11 and I-865 now. It's not a prerequisite for I-751, but needs to be done ASAP.

Yes, thank you I missed it. Agreed, doesn't apply.

I-131 is what you need to re-enter the country. If you had valid one - no problem. I don't understand what I-765 has to do with the entry to the US...

Sometimes they do.
