    Normal. Did you check processing times here? https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ 14 months seems to be expected time right now.

    It can be any scribble. Signatures don't necessarily spell names. My signature is a scribble for 20+ years now. As long as the new citizen keeps using this signature in all official documents, it's OK. But if person keeps switching signatures, it can be a problem. How does she sign her driver's license in the US, foreign passport, lease agreement, employment docs, medical papers for doctor? Just use the same signature. Example of a scribble here: Do you think anybody can read this? And this is acceptable. It can be anything as far as I know. My field office gave out certificate and let us sign it at home.

    It's just USPS takes up to 2 weeks to deliver it. It doesn't come in priority mail, comes as regular letter.

    Yes

    I'd asnwer: 1) Yes 2) No

    You can say the least. E.g. both Freedom and Religious Freedom accepted. Similarly, George Washington and Washington is accepted for different question. I know you're asking because of wife. She needs to say firmly and clearly, even if it's a short answer. If she struggles pronouncing one worded answers, then IO may suspect she doesn't speak English much

    Hi, you don't really have many options. You're right, you cannot stay a decade in the US waiting for your father's petition to be approved, as you'd be out of status without anything else. You could try switching to F-1 student visa, but studying for a decade is long, expensive and not always practical. H-1B is an option but it would take a long time to get, and your visa will run out before you get it if you win in the lottery.

    Are you adjusting based on marriage by any chance? If yes, have you considered taking spouse's last name? Not having last name in the US can be problematic at times.

    Are you sure the person was a lawyer? Even regular folks on Visa Journey know petitions for adult children don't work for people who overstayed. They're not considered immediate relatives and need to be in valid status or better outside the US while their I-130s are pending... Asylum (if real) was a much better choice for oversayed adults.

    You can submit another one of those requests. I changed address few years back, don't recall receiving email. The next page after submitting request was shown as confirmation in the browser. I saved that.

    I think your timeline is pretty reasonable and fast @Magi Stark Congratulations!

    As long as info (your name, DOB, parents etc) is the same - I wouldn't worry
  14. OldUser
    There's no such form "i30". There's form I-130, but just filing I-130 won't fix anything, especially if spouse is incarcerated.

    What's different?

    Thank you @An Alien! Interesting approach, I haven' tried it. Once I learned the correct # I updated Google Maps for my SSA

    Not great for her protection in life. If she's not on lease, what happens if you suddenly die? Not great for immigration either. Do you both at least have IDs or DLs with this address?
  18. OldUser
    I wouldn't risk the immigration because it costs more to have her on lease. Forgot or it was cheaper? I'm only telling the best, you do what works for you
  19. OldUser
    That's not ideal... Why didn't you add spouse to lease? That's good

    Why wait? LPR is always one serious issue away from being put in removal and deported. If she wants to be a citizen, no reason to wait.
  21. OldUser
    Ok, she's only eligible under 3 year rule so far. In 2027 she could apply under general provision. Right now she's eligible (at least based on resident since date) to apply under 3 year rule. Again, unless she has issues: She can apply today
  22. OldUser
    Thousands apply and thousands become citizens. Does she have any immigration issues or criminal past? What's her resident since date on green card? She may be eligible under general provision if she became a LPR in August 2020.
  23. OldUser
    Doesn't matter when. Would you want USCIS to doubt your marriage 5 years later and revisit your green card when you try to naturalize? I'd try to fix it sooner.
  24. OldUser
    Maybe. Tax return transcripts are still needed for I-751 and N-400. Even if it flies through right now, it may be a problem in the future. The solution is amending taxes. Good luck!

    Go with spouse. Good luck!
