  1. Congrats! No it's not weird. Either review was triggered by N-400 or it just coincided.
  2. I agree, ID is a must. I think a lot of people try to save money but that works against them. Only recently read a thread where the person didn't have any valid US ID and their foreign passport expired. Not a good spot to be in.
  3. If they show your address make sure to include them. Any correspondence showing address where both of you live is something
  4. Anything can happen - NOID, denial or interview. Can you get 3-4 swarn, notarized affidavits from friends / colleagues / neighbors who know you as a married couple? Did any of you add the other on health or car insurance? Do you go to the same doctor? Any letters from the visits? Submit all tax return transcripts, from 2019 until 2023? Any copies of IDs or DLs showing same address? Any letters addressed to both of you? Any hotel reservations with both names? Costco / Sam's club / Amazon family / National parks or other joint memberships? You need to get creative.
  5. They're probably looking for more evidence. I'd send everything you have. What about joint bank account statements and utility bills? Do you have any of those spanning period from date of marriage until now? Essentially they didn't think what you sent was enough or up to date to approve your case.
  6. 1) Did you request a combo interview in cover letter when applying for N-400? 2) Did you attach copy of I-751 in your N-400 submission? I does happen, your case is not extraordinary. No, you don't have to apply for N-400 again or pay the fees. When your I-751 will get approved, you'll be placed in line for oath. Legally, if you don't hear anything 120 days from N-400 interview, you can sue USCIS (Writ Of Mandamus) and they'll have to give you a decision. Hang in there, your journey is almost completed!
  7. I wouldn't risk it. You never know how the person adjudicating will react. Does the photo have anybody other than you and husband? Typically the most valuable photos are with family and friends.
  8. Why wasn't daughter included in your wife's I-751? What proof of legal status does she have now?
  9. I'm sorry the marriage did not work out. Good family lawyer would help defending your property and ensuring divorce goes smoothly. Do you have any solid proof she only used you for immigration benefit? If not, forget about the whole thing. If yes, are you ready to be investigated yourself as part of this process? Marriages between US citizens fall apart every day. Sadly, marriages between immigrants and US citizens fall apart every day too, they're not much different. Good luck.
  10. Agreed, I misspoke, I meant certificate of citizenship. Unless somebody wants to jump through hoops proving they're citizens at 50 years of age with parents no longer around, they should apply for N-600. I cannot imagine the pain somebody would have to go many decades later pulling records from everywhere to prove they're a citizen. The alternative is to pay the fee now and have solid proof for life.
  11. And some more And plenty more on Reddit and other messaging boards. N-600 is the best investment in my opinion.
  12. I strongly disagree with this statement. Naturalization certificate is very important to have. Every now and they you can read stories US government asking to re-prove US citizenship when renewing passport or getting other benefits or sponsoring other immigrants later in life. Here's recent story:
  13. Some lawyers (Hacking, few online forums ones) suggest NOT having your sponsor spouse at the consular interview, as it may be converted in mini "stokes" interview for no reason. Not sure how true it is as I never had personal experience.
  14. You can do inquiries, involve your congressman etc. But the other two options are more efficient.
  15. It's normal. Expect 4-6 weeks from April 29 to get extension letter.
  16. One option is to file for N-400. Another is to file Writ of Mandamus on I-751.
  17. I see. 5 year rule is much easier, thought it was worth checking if you were eligible since you were here for a long time. Good luck!
  18. Are you eligible under under general 5 year rule?
  19. People keep forgetting the only forms US citizen files is I-129F or I-130 and I-864. Everything else is beneficiary's responsibility. Even I-751 is filed by immigrant, only requiring one signature from US citizen spouse...
  20. Congratulations! My I-751 got approved in August 2023. I also filed in December 2021. What's your service center?
  21. Right, I expected either RFE or RFIE, but not RFI
  22. By the way, what's RFI? RFE?
