    That's OK. Most of the time it's a system glitch and doesn't mean much. Keep an eye on it, sometimes it gets followed by RFE or approval. But I-130s cases get processed within 17 months, so 6 months is too early typically...

    I'd say yes. Somebody organized the protest and asked people to join. Lawyer's input is highly recommended. I wouldn't do this case myself.

    I'd recommend involving a lawyer at this point. I also wouldn't go to interview without a lawyer, this doesn't seem like a DIY case. You're looking at potential material misrepresentation and inadmissibility based on that. That's great, but USCIS still needs to know whether she was ever arrested, detained, charged etc. Even expunged records need to be disclosed to USCIS. I think she can write an affidavit explaining everything, if she doesn't and can't produce any papers. One more thing to note. Just because everything was OK for DS-160 and K-1 doesn't mean USCIS won't make it issue later during I-485, I-751 and N-400. There are known cases when only at N-400 USCIS would find issue and claim that Green Card was given in error. Each stage of immigration is chance for USCIS to review entire immigration history. So being open and upfront with USCIS is the key to securing trouble free future. It may mean immediate problems and waivers involved at this time around though.

    $750 is all you need to pay if your kids are included in form and removing conditions with you. Just file a new one, as current one will be rejected again.

    Is wife applying for her Philippines citizenship to be reinstated?
  7. OldUser
    Nah, don't be afraid of new world and its Z's ! 😃 Even American English spellchecker underlines "s" as a misspelling. I naturalized in a country they used British way of spelling, so all my prior docs and college work has "s". But I easily switched to "z" when coming here and it was the best decision ever 🤠 Z is a statement in a way What I struggle with personally is "do nut!" (or wait, "donut") VS doughnut. Color vs Colour. Aluminum vs Aluminium

    I don't know how though... 1) After naturalizing you receive a folder with information. One paper in it is printout of things you need to do after becoming citizen, including updating status at SSA 2) USCIS person mentioned it during ceremony specifically 3) This website also tells to do it: https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship-resource-center/new-us-citizens But I guess after being told by 3 different sources to do it, some people still don't know. Sigh...
  9. OldUser
    Yes you can. It's not a single entry doc. One or two years. Few times. After that your residency will be questioned. The most important question is... If there's travel ban for Pakistan imposed, can you afford to stay outside the US for a long time?

    Congratulations ! Welcome to the club! Nice combos 😃 Now, to the final test... Question 101 of civics test. Is it naturalisation or naturalization? Joking of course 😃 Please stick around a little longer to help VJ folks who're yet to become citizens if you can
  11. OldUser
    That's what happened in my case. I think at 2.5 months mark after filing? Need to check timeline, it happened so fast.
  12. OldUser
    Is the 2 months trip a necessity? Why not naturalize, and then you can spend however much time you want outside the US? You may be called for biometrics and even for interview within 2 months of filling.
  13. OldUser
    Hmm, I wish there were more sources for this information, and ideally statement from SSA on their website etc. Or at least CNN, Fox or other major network reporting it. So far only Popular.info reported this and MarketWatch.com quoting Popular. Essentially, one source which I'm not that familiar with or have trust... It's also unclear whether everybody whose applications were on file before March 19 would get processed or not. I will keep posted here. If it 4-8 weeks I don't receive replacement SS card, I'll go and update info in person. So allegedly SSA paused it not USCIS. But let's see if this is even true.

    Pretty sure many people's tab are gone. If you search different forums you'll see people mentioning it. Not sure why it matters though. Good luck!
  15. OldUser
    When? Do you have a link?
  16. OldUser
    It doesn't matter much. This tab goes away all the time for various users. Meaning the IT system isn't stable. On the day of my oath it showed "3 weeks until decision" for me. Somebody else saw "7 months until decision" on I-765 when they got their EAD. I wish it was gone forever so people wouldn't have to worry about it.
  17. OldUser
    It can take 4-8 weeks to get receipt. There's nothing unusual.
  18. OldUser
    Well, you have an approved I-751 and valid 10 year GC. This is proof you're an LPR. How critical is this trip? Are you planning to naturalize? Yes, you may be put in secondary. You may be questioned. Your phone, laptop, other belongings may be searched. This can happen to anybody, even without prior denial of I-751.

    Actually, beneficiary is the one who should receive communication about their interview. It's the beneficiary who's required to go to embassy for the interview to get their visa etc.
  20. OldUser
    So no issue then
  21. OldUser
    No you don't need it now. Question: was the box on DS-3025 checked saying you completed all required vaccinations?
  22. OldUser
    I considered showing changes in my thread for N-400 filers. But determined it required effort. Taking my hat off for your work 😃
  23. OldUser
    In I-485 and later in N-400 she'd have to disclose whether she was in any groups too
  24. OldUser
    Must disclose arrests regardless whether she feels they were fair or unfair.
  25. OldUser
    1) You won't get a rejection. If they're not happy, you may get a denial. Those are different things. 2) Definitely speak to lawyer to ensure whatever you're submitting is what USCIS is looking for.
