    Did you apply for N-400 to help pushing I-751? Did you consider suing USCIS?
  2. OldUser
    It would be great to understand exactly when I-751 is derailed due to N-400 and when it helps. Maybe I'm trying to find a logic where it doesn't exist...
  3. OldUser
    I know you said you didn't show it, but did you have a reentry permit?
  4. OldUser
    Meanwhile Hacking changed the tone about N-400 while I-751 pending. Now he suggests applying (opposite to advice given only a few months ago):

    She should try removing social security card restrictions by bringing her GC and I-751 extension letter to social security administration.
  6. OldUser
    She should update her social security card to remove wording similar to "Valid for Work Only With DHS Authorization" if she has it written. Then she can only show her state ID or driver license and Social Security card. Another, but bad option is to use green card and extension letter. This is bad because some employers don't understand how it works and can ask for new proof when her extension letter is close to expiration. It's not worth going this route.

    What's your immigration status? I suppose US citizen? You only need to show unrestricted social security card and driver license or ID. Same goes for her, if she removed the restrictions from social security card. If you are a US citizen, you can say you're a citizen. Your LPR wife should never ever say she's a US citizen, until she naturalizes.

    Fantastic, thank you for sharing your experience and congratulations!

    Were you approved and oath scheduled?

    One intricacy @Dashinka The screenshot you attached shows I-797C form for I-751. This is a copy form for original I-797. Original doesn't have the wording "This notice does not grant any immigration status or benefit". Airline and CBP won't accept I-797C, but will accept original I-797. Copy is usually sent to petitioner and original is sent to lawyer depending how the boxes were checked on G-28 form. The instructions on screenshot are super confusing. The written instructions are correct, mentioning I-797, but accompanied by I-797C picture which is bad.

    Woohoo time to celebrate @Elena & Craig !!! In my understanding, there was a possibility of case being transfered WAC => NBC => Local field office. They could have held it until N-400 was ready for combo interview. I'm glad to hear it didn't go that route, because it would have delayed I-751 outcome.

    This won't fly for NIW almost certainly.

    My advice: find a company who has experience filing H1B and does it regularly. It's not the simplest process in the world, and I would not want my application to be screwed because the company doesn't know what they're doing.
  15. OldUser
    Ouch!

    Yes, just print, fill and include forms I-131 and I-765 together with your I-485. Just pay the other relevant fees, these forms are free when filed together.
  17. OldUser
    DO NOT skip I-765 and I-131. If only you knew how many forum members regretted not filing those. They are FREE forms with I-485 package. You never know if she needs to urgently travel back to her country. Without I-131 she would not be able to do it, she would abandon her AOS. I-485 takes years sometimes. You can put "To be determined" in the date for future travel. Also file I-765. While she doesn't want or need to work now, she may need to in the future. Considering high cost of health insurance in the US, she may even want to work part time at Starbucks, who can provide it, for example.

    Letters should be sent to those, but it's not guaranteed. It's best to get a stamp at 23 months of waiting (they won't give appointment earlier). It's a risk though, because often when giving stamp, USCIS takes GC. And if LPR receives 48 month extension letter later, it would be useless. Stamp is only good for 1 year, whereas letter may be giving 2+ years of extension, depending when LPR receives it.
  19. OldUser
    Agreed, it's absolutely not FIFO. I imagine a big wheel of fortune with case numbers written on it, picked randomly.
  20. OldUser
    I actually see quite a bit of cases untouched in 21XXX range, so you're not alone. Hang in there!
  21. OldUser
    Did you have and RFE? Did you submit N-400?
  22. OldUser
    They took $85 to determine your visit wasn't necessary. Some people do end up submitting biometrics even after AOS biometrics few years ago. Would you rather want to go to biometrics appointment?
  23. OldUser
    @JDWright your patience is commendable
  24. OldUser
    @Ein you should watch some UK Border Force episodes about how similar scenario would have been treated in your home country. It's similar in the US. There's a high chance CBP would deny you entry and cancel your visa.
  25. OldUser
    I bet @JDWright was busy with other things in life. Meanwhile his LPR matured like a good wine and his N-400 will be a cherry on the top of the cake he ordered for dessert! Good data point as to how long I-751 can take to be decided. Did you have RFEs, any complications or gotchas you could share @JDWright?
