  1. They are LPRs and cannot get tourist visas.
  2. The best course of action is to return to the US and not leave for few years until they naturalize.
  3. When and how you met, where you work, general questions about you and your background to ensure she knows you, your past marriages if any etc.
  4. It comes and goes whenever it wants. E.g. there's frequent outages. It also shows random numbers detached from reality. In my opinion, it doesn't add any value.
  5. Depends on whether they get biometrics within 1 month or not. Once they enter, their endorsed visa is proof of their LPR status for 1 year. I heard USCIS is more aware nowadays when somebody leaves the US and won't send GC if LPRs are not physically present.
  6. 1) If immigrant fee is paid, typically within 90 days of entry, but could be longer 2) The first day they enter they can apply for I-131 3) A year 4) Absolutely if asked to come 5) they need some insurance to avoid crazy bills from doctors 6) Yes
  7. Looks like there is a new N-400 form edition dated 03/04/2025 that now expires 02/28/2027. If you file on paper, make sure to use this new form edition. If you're filing N-400 electronically, it will be taken care of automatically. Looks like the main difference is gender selection. On previous edition you had option "Another Gender Identity". You only have "Male" and "Female" on new edition of the form.

  9. I would think everything will be asked again.
  10. Everything in immigration history can be questioned during N-400, especially under 3 year rule. Are you in a rush to naturalize? General provision (5 years) may be easier.
  11. USCIS agents are not required and not trained to give legal advice. Whatever information they give needs to be verified multiple times, similar to AI. You need to consult a credible immigration lawyer and take some advice on VJ if other were in same situation.
  12. The interview notice will list them! - Valid GC - Any valid or expired IDs (Advance Parole, 2 year GC, EAD) issued by USCIS - Any valid and or expired foreign passports - Tax return transcripts from IRS website from start of marriage until now - Bonafide marriage evidence: joint bank statements, joint insurance, joint assets, utility bills in both names, copies of lease agreements of mortgage statements. Copies of flight reservations together, birth certificates of kids. All evidence that can prove you're in real marriage.
  13. What you're looking at and posted screenshot of is a AI generated summary. It can be largely inaccurate and cannot be trusted just on its own. I would recommend to always ignore this automatically generated text and do a proper research.
  14. Agreed, given OP's situation they should have married and used CR-1 consular processing route. Then wife could have stayed in Sweden while it's pending, getting all necessary medical care. But we can't go back in time I guess

  16. Thanks to @Edward and Jaycel we have good insight into what's happening. This can help managing expectations. The reason why it's moving slow, is because USCIS is focused on prior months. Once they start adjudicating November as their main focus, you'll see things happening much faster.
  17. If she donesn't apply for AP, she'll never get it. At least there is some chance of getting it if she applies for it...
  18. Not every officer will welcome any instructions / asks from you. Nobody rushes you, you can take time answering questions without giving any explanation. You can and should speak calmly at the interview, but loud and clear enough that officer can understand you. Practice answers with somebody. Let them ask you all 100 questions and questions from your N-400 and give them answers. The more you practice, the more confident you'll feel. Take a lawyer to interview with you if this makes you feel less stressed. Good luck!
  19. This is normal. I have a standalone N-400, got email like this few days ago. Nothing changed. At least one more person had similar experience this week. It's a IT system glitch I guess.
  20. Short answers are OK. Text in brackets is optional. You can even find YouTube videos where all 100 questions are covered. That can give you an idea of how to answer questions.
  21. For I-751, the immigrant is the petitioner. If you move, you'd file I-865 as sponsor indicating you moved... If immigrant doesn't move with you, their address will be different when they file AR-11. That will be one indicator the marriage isn't working
  22. He won't receive GC if you drop employment before his approval. After he gets GC, it's not an issue and you can break employment.
