    Best form of payment (subjectively) is personal check. Just make sure you maintain enough money there to cover the USCIS fees. The downside of credit or debit card is that banks heavily rely on AI and other software systems to detect and block suspicious transactions autimatically. Since paying USCIS is not something you do often, it may be an unusual transaction that gets denied by bank. The downside of cashiers check is you don't know when the money is used by USCIS, because it leaves your account immidiately when getting this check at the bank. So personal check is the best for these reasons. You would know when money is taken by USCIS

    There is no requirement to naturalize and no specific date to apply for N-400. You can live entire life as green card holder if you want.

    Thank you, in FOIA request, did you specify your wife's - Alien number - I-751 case number - Timeframe for your request (e.g. from date mm/dd/yyyy to date mm/dd/yyyy) If not, don't be surprised some info maybe missing in response. USCIS is a huge agency with many offices scattered around the entire US.

    Did you ask for it? And if you did, was it done properly? That's the reason sometimes people hire lawyers instead of trying to do it themselves.

    The way it looks to me: 1. OP's wife filed I-751 jointly at old address 2. OP and wife moved to new address. Whether they correctly filed AR-11 or not hard to tell without proof. 3. USCIS sends an interview letter to old address on file (my assumption), which OP and his wife did not receive, since they lived at different address 4. USCIS sends denial letter to old address on file. Again, OP and his wife didn't receive it 5. Meanwhile OP's wife gets I-551 stamps at local field office 6. OP's wife specified new address in N-400 application

    Copy of denial letter I've seen with my own eyes earlier today from your screenshot. If you didn't ask for a copy of interview letter in FOIA request, USCIS wouldn't give in their response. Simple.

    @IandI100 I think we're speaking different languages... Good luck!

    Then why did you refer to it as "letter" that was "sent to your address", if it only was a status change on website? Please do share FOIA request and response again, but blur the name, address and alien numbers so your wife could not be identified. All of these little subtleties, such as online notification VS letter, how you phrased FOIA request, whether you have proof of certified mail for AR-11 play a big role in your case.

    Can you share the redacted letter giving you instructions but no date for interview? For community benefit. Can you share redacted FOIA request once again? Did you ask for copies of interview letters in it or just a copy of denial?
  10. OldUser
    Doesn't add up
  11. OldUser
    Can you share redacted FOIA request again? I think you only asked about denial letter in your request, I don't remember whether you specifically requested copies of interview letter in it.

    No, I'm not talking about stamped visa in passport. I'm talking about letters from USCIS for two different applications. Some of them had a ink stamps for the date, just like the I-751 denial letter you shared earlier. Again, what makes you think the printed date is the only way USCIS dates the letters?
  13. OldUser
    @midwinterrose I think @IandI100 mentioned they received letter with interview instructions but I don't believe that redacted letter was shared here. Usually those letters state the time and date to appear for interview.
  14. OldUser
    Where did you get this information from? I had multiple letters for non-immigrant visa as well as Notice of Interview Results for I-485. They all had ink stamped dates and they're the only originals I have.
  15. OldUser
    @IandI100 why AR-11 is not included in FOIA? Did you send it by certified mail and have a proof of notifying USCIS about address change? If not, then USCIS sent the denial letter to old address, but the right address on file. Forget about Tier 1 and Tier 2 officers, don't get fixated on it, you got FOIA clearly saying the case was denied. IMHO (not a legal advice) you could've had another I-751 pending for 3 months now, instead you lost 3 months already waiting for something that's unlikely going to get resolved without lawyer's help.

    Out of curiosity - was your address on the letter up to date as of 07 MAY 2021? @IandI100 I meant 2021 here based on screenshot @IandI100 attached. Typo
  17. OldUser
    It has the date - May 7th, 2022. This is when USCIS denied your I-751. I don't think it matters whether it's printed date, handwritten date or a ink stamped date.
  18. OldUser
    @IandI100 I think your case is moving towards your wife being placed in removal proceedings. Hire a lawyer to challenge the decision (which the FOIA letter says it's impossible) or file new I-751 with help of a good lawyer. Even if you guys file new I-751, the gap between May 7th 2021 (the date I-751 denied) and today (December 20th, 2022) already can cause a lot of confusion in the future at I-751 and new N-400 stages. E.g. I wouldn't be surprised if USCIS will reset the wife's clock for naturalization. This is not a DIY in my opinion.

    No, shouldn't have any effect on her being a sponsor. However, you need to have a clear answer to question: "Why you decided to file taxes Married Filed Separately?" during the interview.

    Birth certificate is also issued after child's birth, not before. I see why USCIS is puzzled. Essentially, they cannot trace your identity back to birth and confim you are who you say you are. Furthermore, in many countries, to get a passport, one shows birth certificate to prove their name, date and place of birth. How did you get the passport without proof of your name? You definitely need to sort this out with Indian authorities and get proper paperwork for USCIS.

    +100 hence my question earlier to OP:
  23. OldUser
    What are you going to achieve by that?
  24. OldUser
    Why do you think K-1 is easier or more preferable route than CR1? That's what USCIS are trying to achieve. Is this case important to you? What is the documentation that's missing?

    @VINHIVY as of today, the earliest you can get InfoPass appointment is 30 days before extension letter expires. It may change in 2023-2024
