Yes you can apply for citizenship as soon as you become eligible. In ideal situation, USCIS will process both I-751 and N-400 together. In less ideal situation, your N-400 will be stuck until I-751 is decided. Of course, to file under 3 year rule you still need to be married and living in marital union with your US citizen spouse. You must satisfy continuous residency and physical presence requirements, as well as have good moral character etc.

Not when you consider the fact you're still waiting for GC. But I get it, cannot to back in time. Good luck and keep us posted!

It's not a valid reason to expedite. You got my sympathy, AOS is not an easy process. Seems like a spousal visa route would have been a better choice instead of K-1.

I'm sorry your marriage didn't work out. Here's the quote: " When you sign the affidavit of support, you accept legal responsibility for financially supporting the sponsored immigrant(s), generally until they become U.S. citizens or are credited with 40 quarters of work. Your obligation as a sponsor also ends if you or the individual sponsored dies or if the individual sponsored ceases to be a lawful permanent resident and departs the United States. Note: Divorce does NOT end the sponsorship obligation. If an immigrant you sponsored receives any means-tested public benefits, you are responsible for repaying the cost of those benefits to the agency that provided them. If you do not repay the debt, the agency or the immigrant can sue you in court to get the money owed. Any joint sponsors and household members who allowed the sponsor to combine their income with the sponsor’s income to meet the minimum income requirements are also legally responsible for financially supporting the sponsored immigrant. In fact, any joint sponsor and household member is jointly or severally liable with the petitioning sponsor, meaning that the joint sponsor and household member are independently liable for the full extent of the reimbursement obligation and can be sued in court or be asked to pay the money owed, even if the petitioning sponsor is not sued or asked for money."

Did you apply under 3 or 5 year rule? Do you have pending I-751? Which field office? Estimated processing time is a random number.

Pretty normal.

Normal. See processing times here: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

Many countries have consulates in the US and allow renewing passport either online, by mail or in person in consulate. Are you sure you cannot renew your passport without leaving the US?

Renewal / Replacement (I-90) is different to Removal of Conditions (I-751). Based on what I understand so far, your wife had conditional green card and applied for removal of conditions (I-751) in 2023. Yes, she can file for N-400 in October of this year, 90 days prior to her 3 year anniversary of being LPR based on Resident Since date on GC. It's advisable to attach copy of I-751 extension letter in N-400 application as well as a cover letter asking for combination I-751 & N-400 interview.

Some banks / employers insist on seeing the physical card. You may be OK with long credit history, but bank policies could have changed for worse in the last few decades.

It's for confirming identity and not confirming elibiligity to drive?

I see. My current and previous employers wanted to see originals (DL + SS card) for I-9. I guess it's not universally enforced.

I-9 verification at work?

1. Yes, you need separate I-130 for each parent.

Fantastic, congratulations! You came prepared and didn't have an issue. You know the Murphy's Law... If you didn't bring it USCIS would have asked for originals 😅

Those estimates are random numbers.

Call the civil surgeon's office to clarify. The vaccinations should be accepted, but it depends whether the proof you have is sufficient.

You should have received 48 month extension automatically as your case was pending when 48 month extensions were announced. Did you move since filing I-751? If yes, did you submit AR-11? If you moved, submitted AR-11 a.d never received 48 months extension letter, you should create a service request https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDNForm.do; jsessionid=08E5FD1FD9BC*****************6F3?sroPageType=ndn&entryPoint=init

Yes CBP officer should not deny the entry. 99.99% she'll be admitted without an issue.

ADIT stamp, endorsed immigrant visas, expired GC accompanied by extension letters - all of those carry some degree of risk. The only place that's pretty much guaranteed to recognize these is the US. Airline staff in foreign countries typically doesn't have questions about US passports and valid Green Cards. Everything else is always depends on their training and understanding. Reddit case proves - the person was admitted to the US even after annoying CBP encounter. Unfortunately this you cannot change. Anybody can be subject to hard time by CBP - from immigrants on visas, to LPRs and even US citizens. It doesn't happen often, but even US citizens can be questioned and detained by CBP when trying to reenter.

I'm sorry you had to go through this. So far I see no indicators of fraud. Just a very bad / incompatible person. Divorce seems like a logical step. Good luck!

As long as they have proof of everything I don't think this would be an issue

So did the immigrant and US citizen live together during this time?

Whichever is the earliest to ensure not to miss it. I'd also think letter is more accurate. Online status is not legal binding.
