    2. Yes, bring all Green Cards, EADs, APs, reentry permits. Any ID cards issued by USCIS. They just want to collect them from you.

    There's few advantages for filing on paper: - If you're requesting fee waiver - If you have non-standard answers that don't easily fit the boxes, don't pass validation or you cannot say Yes or No definitively

    Keep us posted on your interview experience please

    The reason they have multiple interviews throughout immigration is to check everything multiple times and avoid mistakes. Although rare, sometimes even prior decisions can be revisited and reversed. You'll probably be fine.

    It is not good indeed. Very few get two interviews. @melissa.w I would hire an attorney if you can. Walking into second interview without one is risky!

    Ok, since you have approved I-751 it may go easier. But still, don't get surprised if they want to ask more about that marriage and reasons for divorce. They shouldn't probe too much as you're filing independently, but they attempted to do at my interview, even though I'm married. Attorney stopped them from spiraling out. Make sure you have good answers and know the timeline. Good luck!

    Speeding tickets, arrest, divorce from USC (how soon after getting GC?) I had none of these, and I still took a lawyer with me. I guess everybody's risk tolerance is different.

    Couldn't agree more! I waited 20.5 months, your wife waited 44 months for ROC to be adjudicated. What's additional 2-3 days? Not worth the risk of filing too early.

    Ok that's a relief.

    5. I wouldn't expect same day ceremony in your case. It's not a squeky clean case and it may take time to adjudicate. Also, from what I know, any name change results in ceremony being held on different day. Do you have a lawyer representing you or are you going on your own? I'd be a bit hesitant to do this on my own with all of the potential issues with case.

    2. You'd need divorce decree and current marriage certificate. I don't believe you'd need ex's naturalization certificate. The only overall wrinkle may be if ex got GC from marriage too. USCIS may dig a bit deeper on this

    It required a little bit of tuning and instructions - To only read what's in the list - Read exactly how it's written Etc. Let me find the prompt...

    Yes, it's completely random. For my citizenship case, estimated time to decision was 3 weeks on day of my oath, which is the final step when you become a citizen. Would you like me to post some of the examples from VJ when it was wrong? It's wrong all the time.

    No, lawyers don't speed up cases. They just help filing everything correctly so you don't receive RFEs or deal with NOIDs. Those slow things down.
  15. OldUser
    Yes, absolutely normal.

    I actually uploaded PDF with official list of questions to ChatGPT and described rules of the civics exam. Then used voice chat feature to simulate this and answer questions as if I spoke to USCIS adjudicator.

    She's probably a UK citizen too and can get Britisgh passport, unless you derived your citizenship from parent overseas yourself.

    Full custody

    Student, work or spousal visa leading to GC. No other solution

    There's no form I-1765. There's I-765. Your case is moving fast. Make sure to develop and collect as much bonafide marriage evidence between now and interview date. Make sure to practice questions and answers with your spouse and ensure you know good amount of info about each other, relatives etc.
  21. OldUser
    If you wanted such flexibility, then spousal visa would have been better. She'll have to wait 3-12 months until advance parole or green card is approved.
  22. OldUser
    You need to file, in addition to I-130: I-485 I-693 (mom needs to take civil surgeon medical exam) I-864 I-131 (optional) I-765 (optional)

    @SpicesAndSleep Congrats! I'd add, update status with SSA and register to vote Here's my fresh experience with SSA:

    There are no guarantees when it comes to immigration. Example: my I-751 was meant to take 7 months according to USCIS processing times when I filed. It took 20.5 months in reality.

    I wouldn't mention "open relationship" to any US government officials. It gives a very bad look.
