But why? If you filed with I-485 before April 1st, it was free. That may be a reason why packet got rejected. Now you'll have to pay for it.

Hi, please think twice before using Boundless. Some of my friends used it and got their immigration benefit without and issue. However, AFAIK they're not certified immigration attorneys. They're a big factory for filling the forms. You may be better off filling forms yourself to avoid mistakes. You may want to look into VJ partners or immigration lawyer on official AILA website. However, you do not need a lawyer for sure, many VJ users DIY'd the process. You need to establish US domicile, but that won't be too important until the next part of process, which is getting immigration visa after I-130 approval. You can continue living together for most of the time I-130 is pending. But make sure to go to the States, get the lease, Driver License, register to vote, find job closer to I-130 decision. Also, regardless of joint sponsor, you will always remain the main sponsor and will have to provide copies of tax return transcripts. Have you filed US taxes all this time living overseas?

Even if you get to a person, the chances are you're gonna get a random made up answer to get you off the phone sooner. To get to person, you can say Infopass. But again, don't believe everything they say to you, it's wrong a lot of the times. The only thing you can somewhat believe is the written communication by official mail.

I see, I asked because sometimes people move, their case gets updated (RFE, NOID), but they never know because online portal doesn't always update. Looks like you're good, since you received extension letter in 2023. You can try involving congressman OR you can file WoM to get your case moving.

ROC is probably the hold up. How come you filed I-751 9 months after receiving GC? You mean you filed I-751 in December 2021? Did you move between filing I-751 and now?

"Actively reviewing" in most cases means "nothing is happening". Do you have I-751 pending? For how long?

Did you pay for I-765?

Yes it's normal. All sorts of funky business happens to evidence when filing N-400 electronically. Not an issue.

I has Global Entry on work visa. Once I became an LPR I updated docs with their enrollment center, didn't need to re-enroll or pay new fee. Since TSA PreCheck is not about border control, I wouldn't think you need to do anything.

The mother doesn't your father's DOB?

You're right, no questions about parents in N-400. I guess it's related to how I moved to the US. Both I-485 and application for marriage license asked about my parents.

You'll be fine

What did you put in all your applications with USCIS? You must have answered the question multiple times by now.

A lot of factors here, including whether you were in status prior to marriage or out of status. Average processing times are posted here: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

Here's one report from 2023 I found: I think there were few other people including @Olga&Jared who didn't have same day ceremony. I wonder if it's due to I-751.

I haven't experienced it, but officer will let you know if you will be naturalizing on the same day. It depends on location and whether they have any additional "seats" for people of they already reached the limit. I think I might have read San Francisco doesn't do same day oath ceremonies lately, but I may be wrong. My understanding is, USCIS will do the best effort to naturalize you on the day of interview if N-400 is approved.

You can apply for citizenship under 4 years and 1 day rule. You can start counting from 09/09/2020. I'd say you should apply in late September - early October this year (2024)

Upload to Civil Documents it won't hurt

No problem. Did she save / print confirmation that browser shows after submitting request? Did you also file I-865 by mail within 30 days of moving, being her sponsor?

Compared to Manila, Islamabad or Montreal, London should be better

Great to know he was allowed in the building!

Always assume combo. Good luck!

There's no requirement to apply for N-400 ever. But if eligible and desired, you can apply for it. If you were LPR for over 5 years, you can apply under 5 year rule. It's easier and doesn't require as much evidence or proving marriage. If you're between 3 and 5 years of being LPR, you can, either wait for eligibility under 5 year rule or apply under 3 year rule. In each case you can apply 90 days before anniversary. All other requirements (physical presence, continuous residence, good moral character) apply any time you apply for citizenship.

US set all of these vaccination requirements to ensure the general public is safe, e.g. to reduce number of endemics started by unimmunnized people immigrating. Generally, with US immigration you have to to everything humanely possible to satisfy various requirements during the proccess. Waivers are available for very exceptional cases. This is because burden of proof is on you and not USCIS / DOS. Good luck and let us know how it goes!
