  1. You really should, there's no downside to doing this.
  2. If you replied to NOID in timely fashion and it was a strong reply, you can sue for decision. Ask your lawyer what's the chance of approval. If they say you have a strong case, then you can hire a lawyer specializing in Writ of Mandamus and get decision soon. That's the only working solution I see. Alternative is indefinite wait. Listen to your lawyer. Of course, if you need to go and say goodbye to a close person you may need to do that despite of risks.
  3. Are you sure you're not denied already? If NOID was sent in 2023, that's last year.
  4. Did the ex ever write a sworn affidavit explaining your marriage eas bonafide and they're ok with you removing conditions? Do you have a valid ADIT stamp to reenter? Technically you can travel with valid documentation but it involves risk.
  5. Sue USCIS for decision. But not without building stronger case and gathering more evidence.
  6. Continuous residence is broken after 6 months, deferring eligibility for naturalization. Potential loss of LPR status after 1 year. Solution 1: Meet all requirements, naturalize and have full freedom Solution 2: Get Re-entry permit. Allows staying outside of the US for up to 2 years without losing LPR status (but clock for naturalization will reset).
  7. Do you have expired GC? You may want to reach out to Saudi authorities to clarify before travelling. Definitely for US authorities, but other countries pick and choose what they accept as the proof.
  8. More importantly, absenses over 6 months most likely break continuous residence. Continuous residence is required for naturalization. If LPR has a trip over 6 months, the safest thing is to start counting time for naturalization from the date they returned after long trip.
  9. Assuming you: - Entered with valid visa and was inspected - Married to US citizen spouse - Not in removal proceedings - Never had a false claim to citizenship or other inadmissability - Living with your spouse in marital union - Apply for I-485 You will get 10 year GC if approved.
  10. Check several times a day if it allows you to.
  11. What do you mean by lost? Did you get denied?
  12. No it might be late to request it then. You could have uploaded a letter in evidence section yesterday as you were submitting the N-400. I recommend writing the letter and uploading as soon as possible. The sooner USCIS is aware, the better, so they can prepare for combo.
  13. I'm pretty sure the medical requirements are similar for K-1 vs CR-1? Immigrant may delay certain vaccinations during K-1 but they'd be required to complete it for AOS. Do you mind sharing more if not too personal?
  14. Sorry you're in this situation. What does the lawyer (are you sure they are a real lawyer?) say? I'd pack bags, leave, and get visa from overseas. You'll have to disclose overstaying in every application now unfortunately.
  15. Make sense! Even though I have Real ID DL, when I become a citizen I'll get a passport card along with passport. It doesn't cost that much, but it's easy to carry and it will be the third proof of citizenship (after Naturalization Certificate and passport book).
  16. No problem at all. Passport is passport, it's good for crossing any border. Passport card can only be used for some land border crossings and cruises.
  17. Not all. Passport card is pretty much waterproof and credit card size. Passport book is not waterproof and larger.
  18. Especially if she has I-751 pending
  19. YMMV - your mileage may vary. It's good to be there just in case.
  20. To add: it's possible you don't get the option if you apply for emergency passport. Did you do that @Laure&Colin?
  21. It's optional. It is another proof of US citizenship, size of credit card.
  22. When you apply for passport you have an option to get a regular passport or large book. The only difference, the large has way more pages, so you won't run out of them as quickly. It's the same price.
  23. Congrats! Did you get a regular or large passport book? Did you get a passport card too or just passport?
