    Few years ago California was one of the fastests service centers. Things can change any moment.

    Are you a US citizen? Did you check processing times? https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

    Here's the recent story of IO not expecting combo and getting worked up when requested on the day: If writing and uploading 1 page document is too much of an ask - you can skip, it's optional. In theory USCIS has all the documentation to connect the dots, but you know how busy / lazy people can get. If there's anything I could do to walk them through and make their decision easier - I'd do, but it's just me.

    Or personal check

    If you read the forum, you'd see some IOs only performed N-400 because they weren't ready for I-751. Giving heads up might have been helpful.

    Are you marrying somebody you're going to sponsor? If yes, then it's best to become a citizen first. If the person is a US citizen / LPR, then it's OK to marry now. This is just my opinion, not a legal advice.

    System glitch. People get it all the time with no changes to cases. Good luck tomorrow and don't overthink!

    What did you submit for adjustment of status?

    What about living arrangements, e.g. joint lease? Do you have joint bank accounts?

    Either let your wife return on I-551 stamp if it's valid, or fly to her and bring GC with you. The risk of losing GC by sending via FedEx, UPS etc should not be underestimated. No insurance will cover the time she will be stuck overseas while trying to get boarding foil or other documentation.

    As you are applying under 5 year rule divorce shouldn't be an issue generally. You should bring all marriage certificates and divorce decrees, as well as tax return trsanscripts for the past 5 year to the interview.

    Congratulations!

    I think I-130s take about 18 months. Considering you had RFE - that's some news and movement on the case. Maybe another 3-6 months? Others can chime in.

    It says "if applicable". If you think you'd benefit from having a lawyer, I believe you can still hire one to go with you to the interview. Make sure to bring spouse and more evidence.

    I don't think their birth certificates will come up. Her marriage / divorce certificates may come up. She should have the originals.
  16. OldUser
    Yes, she should bring originals to the interview. She may never be asked to show them, but if she is asked, copy won't work. How old is brother? If he's over 21, his birth certificate is likely not needed for mother's N-400.

    The more I read @Anthony42 question, the more I think it's about removal of conditions. Anthony, she cannot skip I-751, if she has a conditional card! Or does she have 10 year GC and wasn't eligible for N-400 due to break of continuous residency / physical presence?
  18. OldUser
    My answer included I-751, thank you very much for rechecking with OP. The more I read @Anthony42 question, the more I think it's about removal of conditions. Antony, she cannot skip I-751, if she has a conditional card!

    I would only take one copy, but it's your call. I typically like being bullet proof, but two copies feel like an overkill. You have one alien file in the system, I'm sure they can share this evidence? Others can suggest.

    Name change requires a judicial naturalization. And those tend to be less frequent, so if it was same day, he must have been super lucky. Do you have a link to that post?
  21. OldUser
    Indeed. Hopefully the officer is fully awake on the day of the interview!
  22. OldUser
    Good points. I think waiting for other agencies to complete background check is part of the wait. Though I think most delay comes from USCIS themselves and the backlog of cases that sit on a shelf waiting for their turn.
  23. OldUser
    Yes, it's likely going to affect B1/B2. Participation in DV is not a problem. The issue is you got selected and received immigrant visa in passport which means you showed immigrant intent. It will be somewhat difficult to prove you don't have that intent of immigranting.
  24. OldUser
    I think this visa is gone. Others can confirm or prove me wrong. You'll have to play DV again. I'm sorry about your health and the lost opportunity.

    Because local field office will decide on both I-751 and N-400. If I-751 is not decided when N-400 interview concludes, local field office decides both.
