  1. The smile was about the joke. A agree with your other statement. By the way I had a poll:
  2. Yes, I think I saw a prompt when doing change of address online with USPS.
  3. Risk 1. She can get stuck overseas due to slow processing times at embassy Risk 2. What if she loses certificate? She'd have very hard, expensive time restoring it. The law says she should travel on US passport, why break the law as the first thing after becoming a citizen?
  4. I wouldn't personally do it. Why risk it? You can visit for a month once or twice but take a long leave for 1+ year?
  5. I think you may need a waiver. See the thread:
  6. Sorry to hear about that. There may be many reasons why your interview got this notification. Maybe the office is busy or something urgent came up. However, unless you receive something in the mail, I'd still show up for the interview with original letter you got in the mail. Sometimes USCIS has glitches in their IT systems sending incorrect statuses and updates. You don't want to miss the interview because of that!
  7. I hope you're aware most of information you get from tier 1 officers at USCIS over phone is inaccurate, even made up?
  8. I'd check all paperwork you ever submitted to USCIS to know what all names been used in other applications.
  9. Always make sure to have copies of everything you submitted to USCIS. In this day and age anybody can store few megabytes of files on computer / in the cloud storage etc.
  10. These estimates, especially in My Progress tab are hugely inaccurate. They're just random numbers at this point.
  11. I think it occures when navigating from thread to thread too fast.
  12. Yes, I'm getting this error from time to time in the last few weeks now. I know workarounds, it's just a bit annoying
  13. Don't forget about voter registration when filing taxes with Turbotax, submitting change of address with USPS and many other places. That's a good reason to always pause, and read carefully every word before signing anything. It got to the point I take screenshots / photos of my answer NO for vote registration whenever I see it. Just to make sure I'm not accused of anything 😃
  14. This sounds like a law exam question 😃 Technically, if your kid permanently resides in the US and was on a temporary trip under 6 months, they should become a US citizen when you naturalize. You'd have to get them a US passport to come back. This is not a legal advice, I'm not 100% sure your kid is a US citizen, but most likely is
  15. It does look like an error on USCIS part. Make sure to act fast and get everything delivered to USCIS by March 10th ideally. You may need to file I-290B, attach all the evidence and response and craft the letter explaining the timeline of events and why they should reconsider.
  16. Sorry to hear about your story. The situation is very serious. It appears that you're out of status now. You may be already subject to a 3 or 10 year bar if you leave the US (confirm with a laywer). Since your I-130 was denied, I'm not even sure if you can just stay and adjust status by filing another AOS packet. The overstay is not forgiven for a spouse of LPR. You may need to fight USCIS decision, but it will be challenging. Others can help with answers. I don't think this is a DIY case.
  17. And if you did, were they disclosed?
  18. Couldn't you visit on ESTA as a EU passport holder? Did you disclose all of your citizenships? Did you have criminal issues?
  19. Thank you for clarification. I was commenting from the standpoint I-751 should only be re-filed if one has a compelling evidence to support bonafide marriage, and geniunely wishes to remove conditions. Filing I-751 for the sake of extending presence in the US, like OP was suggesting "buying time" is borderline of immigration fraud, similar to fake asylum claims etc. Of course, I'm not an IJ and wouldn't want to be.
  20. If it's a N-400 based on 3 year rule there's no better proof of bonafide marriage than US citizen spouse taking time off and caring enough to support their naturalizing spouse. They may be asked a question or two also informally, I heard of such cases.
  21. You should take all the evidence (in case if you want to be bulletproof) or at least updated evidence since filing to minimize any issues. Chances are you won't be asked anything, but you want to be safe than sorry. Also, it does show to IO you're serious about your case, so it decreases probability of them wanting to screw with your interview.
  22. Naturalisation sounds like becoming a UK or Australian citizen? Anyways, as long as OP knows their ex spouse date of birth, divorce date and walk through timeline briefly, it's OK. Nodody expects ex spouse's original documents at the interview.
