    There's two schools of thought. Each method has advantages and disadvantages.

    I doubt you will receive replacement card with I-751 pending. However, to get I-551 stamp that could be used for proof of status, USCIS typically wants to see I-90. You can try getting Infopass and getting passport stamp before filing I-90. If successful, you don't need it. Extension letter on its own is worthless. Extension letters also won't extend the stamp. Police report is useful to prove you did due diligence when naturalizing. Of course you will receive 10 year GC eventually if you don't apply for N-400.

    If you want to be bulletproof, naturalize under 5 year rule so marital union is never questioned. It's also taking about control from US citizen as you won't be relying on them going to your interview A picky immigration officer may deny N-400 based on 3 year rule due to break of marital union as you spent few months apart.

    It would say that regardless of whether there was anything wrong with application. It's just an automated status.

    No, US citizen has all the power until GC is approved, unless I-130 is already filed and immigrant claims abuse through WAVA. He cannot send her back, she's not an object. But she would not be able to legally stay in the US without husband changing mind. Given this huge argument occurred so early in the process, I would advice not proceeding with I-130 even if they make up. Too much risk of another argument further down the line of immigration journey. Legal divorce and leaving the US sound like a sensible option.

    It will say I-797 and mention I-485 😊
  7. OldUser
    4-6 weeks after filing you'll receive I-485 receipt. That's the proof.

    It varies from office to office. Call them up and ask to clarify.

    When in doubt, you can wait?

    Did you use your own USCIS account to add spouse's case? Or is this a new account you set up for your spouse? If the first, is this yours A number? Either way, the spouse can get it corrected during biometrics appointment.

    Waiting for RFE strategy only adds delay in overall case processing. There's no downside to attaching copy of DS-3025 in initial filing to give case reviewer instant reminder somebody completed medical already.

    I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet. It's only been two weeks. You can read this recent thread where somebody was worried their packet got lost and filed for second time: Even in the worst case scenario, if USCIS rejects your packet ans returns it, you'll still have close to 2 months to file again. Please prepare for long waits in this process. I-751 is painfully slow overall. My I-751 took close to 21 months. And there was a gap after biometrics reuse to decision of 15 months when there was no status change, no letter, nothing from USCIS! There was a 6-8 weeks gap at the beginning after sending the packet, and close to 6 months gap to get biometrics reused update.

    You proved once again estimates are worthless.

    If she got all required vaccinations and medical is still valid, she doesn't need a new one.

    I guess some will start applying for N-400. Based on my experience I-751 takes almost two years for most people.
  16. OldUser
    I think USCIS rushed the notice and then realized they're not ready to conduct the interview.
  17. OldUser
    4-6 weeks to receive I-797 in the mail. Maybe 8 with fee waiver. I'd only start worrying on May 1 or beyond.

    One payment, one form. Keep in mind, if your bank declines the transaction on credit card, then the packet will be returned to you. It's shocking, but USCIS fees flag as fradulent charges by many banks from time to time.

    1b - sure, why not. You'd be putting this in similar fashion in resume / CV
  20. OldUser
    4 - if there was overlap, put actual days you lived at each address. It's not a big deal.
  21. OldUser
    2 - where were you born? England, other part of UK or elsewhere? If born in England, select England as this is more specific.
  22. OldUser
    1c - no indication or solid evidence electronic filing is faster than paper filing or vice versa.
  23. OldUser
    5 - tax return statements are worth submitting. You can be asked for them in RFE or at the interview. They demonstrate good moral character. Don't look for the ways to minimize evidence, better build a strong case from the beginning.

    @visa38579843 did you move since filing I-751? Were AR-11 and I-865 filed in timely manner?
  25. OldUser
    Just use married name in I-751. List maiden name in Other Names Used field.
