  1. This might have been a mistake. It's always best to wait a few days before applying for N-400 when eligibility window opens. Perhaps withdrawal is better than denial.
  2. Are you taking responsibility for any errors in their forms? The forms should be typically filled by applicants or their legal representatives. If you're not a lawyer, I'd highly recommend not doing paperwork for other people. Especially if you have questions of this nature. The consequences of filling forms incorrectly may be bad for the family. They can ask questions directly here and VJ will gladly help them.
  3. It does seem like an offer to withdraw was made... @Hmmehanna has to learn more from wife. What exactly happened at the interview. I think @Hmmehanna should have tried attending the interview since it's based on marriage. Good chance he wouldn't be allowed in, but it was worth trying. Was there I-751 and was it still pending?
  4. To add: if you came to the US, leased a place, left for a trip few months after arriving, that would be a totally different story and I wouldn't worry at all.
  5. Well, did wife misunderstand the officer and withdraw the case?
  6. If you don't mind risking the filing fee and losing a bit of time you can file. An IO can interpret residency strictly. E.g. if you didn't have permanent address, job, assets in the US - IO can interpret that you didn't reside in the US at that time. I heard of such cases. If I find links, I'll share them.
  7. She should absolutely get a lawyer. Deportation is not fun. Unless you're planning marrying her, I wouldn't get involved.
  8. Wait a little longer until you won't have to mention it at all (since you look back 5 years from the day you file) Arguably, you didn't start residing in the US until you came back from that trip.
  9. VOID prevents somebody trying to cash the check. I wonder if somebody USCIS wrote it after withdrawing funds. I wouldn't be too worrieried until 4-6 weeks passed. I see you paid $750, but when did you file?
  10. Wait, why would need extension letter for empoyer? All he he needs to show is unrestricted social security card and state ID / Driver's License for I-9 verification.
  11. Thankfully didn't get flagged as fradulent charge! Good luck!
  12. Yes, you're good to travel with expired GC and this valid original letter until May 20, 2026. Allow additional time when boarding flights back to the US, as not all airline staff is familiar with letters.
  13. That's amazing. So you don't have to worry about stamps for some time!
  14. +1000 Hence my question to OP about moving addresses which never got answered...
  15. Agreed, every GC has address where to mail it of found. Perhaps if @Ad & Ga doesn't want to wait (I wouldn't think this is urgent matter), this can me mailed with proof of delivery...
  16. Do not come to the US to adjust. It will be messy if USCIS assumes she had immigrant intent coming on B visa. DCF is already a fast track. AOS is long, expensive and limiting (cannot work, cannot travel for some time).
  17. @Vickys_Mom out of curiousity, how does one call a person without first name? Do they get referred to by last name by family members? If so, how do you distinguish who's being called if everybody in family shares the same last name?
  18. That's why I always recommend filing for N-600 https://finance.yahoo.com/news/florida-retiree-cant-claim-social-112200636.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=YW5kcm9pZC1hcHA6Ly9jb20uZ29vZ2xlLmFuZHJvaWQuZ29vZ2xlcXVpY2tzZWFyY2hib3gv&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAB2BX7avwMMqzPlSiyUt_OJHlq9b5Ig_YFk7dYQaPzyJvtDZzVHT6q95U8IIXrlNEUdFXTaB1iJvVESTvrvLgOhqBCLsN0yMfnJ3HIRaI1UzlGkvzAT2MbWX6M-M69ahS-a2bYgwcVHU0ank92b2g6of0zlzLYyHF1Gu-kwE1jKE
  19. I guess for some it's an opportunity to change it to something more pronouncable / recognizable. People try to fit in. Some Chinese or Polish names may be hard to read for example. Also, there may be some degree of bias when applying for jobs etc.
  20. You can roll a dice and get a better prediction on estimated time.
  21. 90 day early filing works for both 3 and 5 year rule. If she didn't break continuous residence and meet physical presence requirements, she can file today.
  22. That's a very good point. Frankly speaking, all the other prior petitions other than I-130 and I-864 was also hers Especially I-751. But now it's 200% her responsibility to answer everything correctly and go through the process.
  23. The status online doesn't always show accurate information. Some people got GC in the mail while status showed “Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken” . If you moved and never received new extension letter, you could have missed other things.
