  1. No wonder here, estimates are useless. It depends whether you're changing name (delay factor) and which field office.
  2. I think you got good answers. This is RFE and you need to reply by deadline. If you don't have a lawyer and you don't want to involve one - no need to file G-28.
  3. This is not a naturalization case.
  4. Any romantic relationship with a US citizen, be it a girlfriend / boyfriend, fiance or spouse is a potential complicating factor when crossing the US border. They're pretty much equal in the eyes of CBP in terms of risk of staying in the US. Spousal visa is a much better choice overall compared to K-1. Pending I-129F is pretty much the same as pending I-130 when travelling to the US.
  5. Starting April 1st, EAD (I-765) and AP (I-131) will require additional fees when filed with I-485. I hope it helps
  6. People got naturalized while their estimate showed 7 months to decision. That's why I think it's very inaccurate. Don't worry, you'll get there and maybe even faster than estimate
  7. You'll have to establish domicile in the US at some point. That's the only wrinkle that can add a bit of complexity.
  8. This means the officer decides whether to accept it or not. For the most part, it gets accepted.
  9. While for majority of cases the US citizen spouse would not be asked to participate in N-400 interview, it does happen in some cases. Even with I-751 approved. After all, citizenship under 3 year rule is based on marriage to US citizen. Even mere presence of US citizens spouse in the waiting area is another check box in IOs head confirming the marriage is going fine and reduces the chance of additional scrutiny. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
  10. $1440 is just I-485 fee. I never wish anybody waiting for GC without AP and EAD, that's rough considering processing times.
  11. If your 90 day window opens tomorrow (March 3), then apply on Monday afternoon / evening or better Tuesday. One day isn't going to make much difference in processing time, but will ensure you won't be denied 6 months later due to silly error.
  12. Just a photocopy worked for me. If it's in foreign language, you also need to provide translation. If you get called for an interview, you'll need to bring the original BC. You may get asked for it.
  13. Did she end up getting GC? She should receive it soon if both petitions got approved.
  14. When filing I-90 I'd include: - Copy of back and front of GC - Copy of passport page and page with endorsed immigrant visa - Copy of boarding pass or reservation for that flight - Cover letter explaining why she should receive 10 year GC (including dates or marriage, entry to the US etc) Since it's their mistake, you do not need to pay a fee. Do not send actual GC with I-90!
  15. If you know for sure she should have a 10 year GC, there's no need to file I-751
  16. If you were married for over 2 years when she first entered to the US on spousal visa, then she should have received 10 year GC. You need to file I-90, even today. I-751 is not a valid form to file and it takes much much longer than I-90.
  17. I'd be surprised if it's accurate
  18. There's nothing wrong with applying. There's aldo nothing wrong with withdrawing N-400 if you no longer want to become a US citizen. You can do it today. Before making a decision, does your country of other citizenship allow dual citizenship? Many countries nowadays are OK with their citizens having multiple citizenships. In many cases you will continue having your citizenship and passport from other country if you become a US citizen. And one outside of the US, you can still use that country's passport to travel if you wish. What country are you from?
  19. It depends on local office. What is the closest city? I'd file now, biometrics can take anywhere from a month to a year, but most likely 2-6 months
  20. File now, I-131s take a while to get approved
  21. If they already moved - now it's the time to update address.
