  1. I see, good luck! I think 2 months is pretty normal for N-400. You may need to wait a bit more due to pending I-751. Did you attach copy of I-751 receipt in N-400?
  2. To adjust. Changing is about switching from one non-immigrant status to another non-immigrant status. Like B-1/B-2 to F-1. This is correct The answer is also "Yes". Don't worry, overstay is forgiven for US citizen immigrant spouse, as long as it's honestly disclosed.
  3. Yes, those won't make a difference. Make sure you lived with your spouse for 3+ years (not 3 years - 90 days) on the day you apply for N-400 under 3 year rule. E.g. you can be LPR for 3 years - 90 days when you apply, but you need to be married for over 3 years to US citizen when you apply. Good luck!
  4. Also don't forget about marital union. Some got denied filing 90 days early when they didn't have 3+ years of living in marital union with US citizen.
  5. I-90 doesn't require much evidence. I think you got it all. Any plans to file for N-400? If she files for it now, she'll get 24 months extension letter for her GC and wouldn't need to pay fee for renewing GC. Cost of filing N-400 online - $710 Cost of filing I-90 online - $415 Citizenship gives more certainty in life IMHO, if the plan is to live in the US long term.
  6. Passport card is an amazing ID with proof of US citizenship to have. I got mine in addition to passport book. It is a credit card size, easily fits in my wallet and I carry it with me everywhere. As a bonus, it provides better privacy as it doesn't reveal home address or DL number (which is used in many places including filing taxes).
  7. Immigration has nothing to do with alimony / child support
  8. It's probably to do with how busy office is. How far do you live from USCIS office? Some people showed up despite such cancellation, had their interview and naturalized. If you have time and it's not far, you could go and try too.
  9. Good for you. Disclosing prior CBP encounter isn't going to prevent you from naturalizing. If anything, you're likely going to be appreciated for honesty.
  10. It's a very strange advice to say the least. I wouldn't feel comfortable living without proof of status for 2+ years. Most likely, you would have had new GC for a year now...
  11. This was a very bad advice. Are you sure they were a real immigration attorney, not a notario?
  12. Just list all your variations of name on N-400 form in Other Names Used. This shouldn't be an issue.
  13. Not really, but right now I guess you don't have any proof of status. You can be detained by ICE. Did you apply for I-90? You'll need a valid ID at your interview.
  14. I'm really sorry this happened to you! Please keep us updated
  15. Probably related to converting cases into digital format. Nothing changed in terms of approval or movement.
  16. I'm assuming you're immigrant and wife is US citizen? It's quite possible officer was satisfied with bonafide marriage evidence and only focused on I-485 to detect any potential inadmissabilities. I wouldn't worry about it. Good luck!
  17. ~ Thread was moved to Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas forum as it better fits the question ~
  18. I guess it's possible if he created multiple identities and USCIS thought they were different people? E.g. if he provided different name, DOB, nationality, place of birth for different cases. Not sure why else somebody would have two A files and how common this is. Your friend should really join VJ. It seems like you care more about his case than he does.
  19. ~ Moved this thread to US Citizenship Case Filing and Progress Reports forum as it fits the question more closely ~
  20. Either way, you can't just exit Canada for 1 day and reenter after 6 months stay
  21. It's not long, considering you have a pending I-751 and applying under 3 year rule. Those things add complexity. In addition, things like moving during I-751 or N-400 can also add delay to the case. Plus whatever the delay is at the local field office. Anything within 12 months is normal processing time for most of field offices. We've recently seen somewhat improves times for some cases, but historically 6+ months isn't something extraordinary. Keep us posted!
