N-400 cannot be approved if I-751 is not approved. N-400 is not independent of I-751. Did you submit inquiry on I-751, N-400 or both?

Your call, but I'd focus on evidence between submitting I-751 and now

Where you getting these quotes? Generative AI? Immigration courts are not USCIS. Department of state is not USCIS. CBP is not USCIS. ICE is not USCIS. The quote above doesn't make much sense. USCIS continues processing cases during shutdowns. Sure, they may be affected to an extent, but not directly and not as much as other agencies.

I don't know the internals of USCIS system for adjudicators, but I suspect the evidence is attached to a case. If this is true, then uploading makes sense, as adjudicator won't have to click around to find info from past cases. They'll have it in front of them for N-400. Which makes it easier to treat as a standalone case and approve it. Also, if prior info is lost, here it is. Of course people can decide what they're comfortable with. To me, uploading few digital files was very low effort. I was lucky to get approved on spot without RFEs. But I also applied under 5 year rule. Lawyer discouraged me from uploading tax return transcripts, which I did. Was never asked for it during interview. Sometimes you have to listen to your gut and do what's right for you. For example, before interview I spent good time revisiting all travel dates. My case was so straightforward and clean, that the only thing adjudicator could try to mess up is accuse me of lying in the interview on some silly technicality. Lawyer said these questions barely come up and it's not so important. Guess what, adjudicator tried playing that game of reading incorrect dates and getting me to confirm them. I corrected adjudicator stating correct travel dates. And she got visibly disappointed because couldn't catch me lying there

Doesn't mean much. Probably a glitch

They shouldn't ask unless you're changing it again. But carrying 1 entra piece of paper just in case shouldn't be too much of a burden either?

There is a good side to this approach - USCIS is not affected as much during federal shutdowns.

Adjusting through you is not an option due to current Visa Bulletin

Here's interesting talk with new USCIS director Subjects touched: - DV lottery (wants to be eliminated) - Fraud scrutiny to be increased - Citizenship test (wishes to make more difficult) - Wants to see more merit based immigration - Wants to tighten family based category (didn't say directly eliminating siblings, but mentioned it indirectly) - DACA - no concrete plans - TPS (wants to revisit who got it) - Work permits and SSNs (acknowledged they disabled auto issuance of SSN cards in some scenarios, frustrated by number of SSN types) Recommend watching to understand where we're heading with immigration.

Anything under 12 months is fast in USCIS world. It's only been 5 months since you filed. Maybe you have somewhat elevated expectations?

Congrats!

Have you read form instructions?

Pretty expected outcome but kudos for trying and updating us! What's next? You can live life as you were never LPR. And you can get to the US through employment or study (non-immigrant status) or marrying American (immigrant status)

I'll leave this to lawyers to clarify, but essentially they're LPRs as they enter the US and instantly are US citizens if they're LPRs residing with US citizen parent. If they didn't enter the US as LPRs, they wouldn't be citizens.

Recommending passport first, then N-600. N-600 takes much longer!

USCIS has 120 days, not 90 days to decide on your case after interview. After this, you can sue (file Mandamus). That is the only reliable option. Your other efforts may or may not work (depends on luck)

It won't

I assume your aunt is a US citizen. Citizens typically don't think too much about consequences for immigration status caused by various activities in the US. This sounds more like unpaid internship. You're volunteering in the field of your study. I wouldn't do it to keep visitor's visa intact

Yes

Give a day or two for notice to show online. Give 1-4 weeks for physical letter to arrive.

I didn't update expiration date on GE portal because I wasn't sure I was allowed to do it without new GC. But people on VJ did it just fine. I tried enrollment center twice on different days at the airport, and they were denying updating their system with extension letter (laziness or lack of knowlwdge).

Sure. I flew a lot with GE while I-751 was pending

Organize the documents to improve search.

Yes, they were LPRs. I-551 stamp is the same as green card, which is formally known as form I-551.

There have to be separate N-400 for each person. They can be filed at the same time, but not together. And they will be adjudicated independently from each other. E.g. some can be faster or slower than the other.
