Seems like a duplicate thread of this:

Combo interview (n-400, ROC)
OldUser replied to C-Sweden's topic in US Citizenship Case Filing and Progress Reports
- Take your US citizen spouse - Take your passport - Take spouse's US passport, and document proving source of US citizenship (Birth Certificate or Naturalization Certificate) - All relevant bonafide marriage evidence (bills, bank statements, tax transcripts, plane tickets, health / car insurance listing both names etc.) - Proof of your selective service registration (if you're a male who was LPR before turning 26). -
November 2021 ROC Filers
OldUser replied to beloved_dingo's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
Example: WAC2290021013 Status is: " On January 23, 2023, the Post Office delivered your new card for Receipt Number WAC2290021013, to the address that you gave us. The tracking number assigned is 9205590153708440303196." It could be EAD card, Greed Card or some other card. The status is vague and Case Track doesn't keep history. -
November 2021 ROC Filers
OldUser replied to beloved_dingo's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
It's expected. Once the case is approved and closed, Case Track doesn't know what type of case it was! It doesn't keep history. So it won't show if you filter by I-751. It will show in all cases though. The only reason why Case Track knows that it's I-751, is because status update has I-751 word in it. Once case is approved and card mailed / delivered, status update doesn't say I-751, and Case Track doesn't know it is for I-751. -
This is not an immigration issue. Consult lawyers about getting full custody over your son. Here are some cases when full custody can be granted: The other parent has been incarcerated, or has a considerably negative criminal record; and/or There is a history of abuse or neglect by the other parent. If you have proof of abuse etc, you will have a chance of winning this case.

He can legally own a gun as of today. Him naturalizing or not doesn't change the fact. If you're worried about your security, please cease any communication with him, change address and don't give any clues about your location in social media. His naturalization is his own problem, you have nothing to do with it. USCIS will likely find out about his wrongdoings, do not worry about it. I'd focus on stripping him off parental rights and getting full custody over your child if you think your son is in danger.

Yes, you can cancel your travel plans and attend the ceremony on March 2nd. Is the trip urgent? More urgent than naturalization? Examples of urgent trip that's worth keeping (my subjective view): - Death or funeral of a close family member - Spouse giving birth - Urgent medical appointment that cannot be postponed - Multi-million dollar deal Everything else can wait IMHO. The danger of not attending is your naturalization can be derailed.

"Individuals seeking a national interest waiver must show evidence of an advanced degree or exceptional ability and must also meet three factors that USCIS uses to determine, in its discretion, whether it is in the national interest that USCIS waive the requirement of a job offer, and thus the labor certification. The three factors USCIS considers for a national interest waiver are whether: - The person’s proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance; - The person is well positioned to advance the proposed endeavor; and - It would be beneficial to the United States to waive the job offer and thus the permanent labor certification requirements." From https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alerts/uscis-updates-guidance-on-national-interest-waivers Every applicant should have a good explanation why they're qualified and why US should drop permanent labour certification requirement. In the end of the day, USCIS decides who qualify for NIW. Examples: 1. Somebody wants to join an IT startup working on a new social network. The applicant doesn't have a formal degree, but holds a senior position in their current company. Likely outcome: NIW is not issued. How does this benefit US and why can't the applicant find a H1B sponsored position? 2. A well known physicist, has experience working on technologies related to super sonic missiles. He has maters/ PhD in relevant field and his knowledge can help strengthening US defense. He has publications in scientific journals, took part in many conferences as a speaker. A number of recommendations from well recognized experts in the US are available. Likely outcome: NIW is issued. These are exaggerated examples to show the difference between the cases. You can always try, as @Boiler recommends. But you gotta have a real case.

N400 based on three years- looking for feedback!
OldUser replied to Rocio0010's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
Did you include a letter in N-400 requesting the transfer and combo interview? I suspect many of those who got transferred were either lucky or they included a letter. -
Help! Unsure when to file i-693
OldUser replied to Sel11's topic in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas
There's a great chance you'll have to do AOS interview. You could bring the medical to the interview. -
When I can apply for citizenship
OldUser replied to drchirag's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
If your green card says Resident Since 10/xx/2018 then you can apply for citizenship under 5 year rule in October 2018 (or 90 days early if you still pass physical presence test on day of application). If you became LPR after 2018, it depends whether your green card is based on marriage. If you've been marriedb to same US citizen for 3+ years, had LPR status for 3+ years, you can generally apply under 3 year rule. Look at GC, add 3 years to Resident Since date. For both options, you need to pass physical presence test, which is different. But also need to pass continuous residence test, e.g. no trips in the last 3 or 5 years lasting over 180 days. There's still few more criteria you need to meet as LPR to naturalize, but the ones above are the base ones. It would help if you explained when you became LPR and how. -
Green Card Timeline Post US Entry
OldUser replied to llcoolwil's topic in Working & Traveling During US Immigration
Answers to your questions: - Yes - Yes - No Your endorsed CR-1 serves as a proof of LPR status for 1 year. However, some employers may want to see Green Card, which is not required to start employment since you have proof of your status. -
AOS fee for both parents
OldUser replied to pinayinFL's topic in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas
Do not use credit card. Often transactions are declined due to bank thinking they're fraudulent. Check is a better option. Here is recent post -
Unathorized stay is forgiven to US citizen spouse if their I-130 and I-485 are approved. If not approved or they leave the US before I-485 approved, this may result in 3 year or 10 year bar depending on the length of unauthorized stay: - Foreign nationals who accrue more than 180 days but less than 1 year of unlawful presence will be barred from re-entry to the U.S. for 3 years. - Over 1 year of unlawful presence = 10 year bar

USPS return to sender
OldUser replied to jackiegringa's topic in General Immigration-Related Discussion
I'm not sure I ever heard about USCIS attempting re-delivery of GC or other documents. I think you would have to file I-90 with fee waiver eventually if the card was mailed but never got to you. -
Hello @90sire you have a somewhat complicated history. I wouldn't consider this case DIY. If you can, do hire a lawyer to represent you. Entrance into the US without inspection as well as the interaction with law inforcement can make you inadmissible.

Traveling on Extension Letter?
OldUser replied to Derwood's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
You should have a letter within a few weeks of filing (6 weeks is a max usually). -
