This doesn't seem strange. When signing paperwork, the CS in the US takes responsibility for I-693. They never knew the medical professionals overseas, the don't know how credible they are. Signing paperwork without exam means their licence can be taken away if fraud is found. So yes, typically nobody will sign I-693 without exam. Was the overseas exam marked complete? There's a checkbox on paperwork.

Saw your conversation with the YouTube lawyer today. In that conversation you mentioned you did receive I-751 interview letter, the detail that wasn't shared in this thread. So I'm a bit confused as to how you keep denying knowing about I-751 interview. And you said that not only to us here, but more importantly to the officer while under oath. I can see why officer got annoyed because of that, this doesn't build any credibility to your case. Based on what you said to lawyer: - You received I-751 interview notice (and officer showed you copy of that when you denied receiving it at the interview) - You received letter moving your I-751 from service center to field office - You received N-400 interview notice Essentially, suing USCIS or filing motion to reopen is not going to work as you don't have proof of USCIS mishandling your case. You either misunderstood or ignored the instruction to attend the interview with spouse given in I-751 interview letter. In this rare case, I'm on USCIS side. Please refile I-751 ASAP and take it seriously this time. Good luck!

You really should, there's no downside to doing this.

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.

Are you sure you're not denied already? If NOID was sent in 2023, that's last year.

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.

Sue USCIS for decision. But not without building stronger case and gathering more evidence.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Check several times a day if it allows you to.

Nice, good luck!

What do you mean by lost? Did you get denied?

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.

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?

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.

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).

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.

Not all. Passport card is pretty much waterproof and credit card size. Passport book is not waterproof and larger.

Especially if she has I-751 pending

YMMV - your mileage may vary. It's good to be there just in case.

To add: it's possible you don't get the option if you apply for emergency passport. Did you do that @Laure&Colin?

It's optional. It is another proof of US citizenship, size of credit card.
