Congrats!

What name did you use in I-485? Married or maiden? Sometimes it's just easier to change name as part of N-400 to avoid all of this hassle now during immigration process. With everything updated in the US, how easy would it be for her to update the name in foreign passport?

The cleanest way is to finalize previous relationship before committing to the new one. You may be asked why you are engaged while still legally married to the other person. I don't believe you're breaking any laws and people got their K-1s in similar circumstances, but it may require more relationship evidence etc.

How about suing?

Suing USCIS for delay

How can you prove domicile with outdated DL? Going there, registering to vote at indending address etc etc can only reduce chances of any hiccups in the process.

+100 fmto this. Forms are glitchy, better fill them on computer and save copies

It should be possible to do in under $50. Not a big amount to ensure everything is translated by a specialist who does it for living. It's worth the price, considering it can save you time if USCIS doesn't like translation you did or you make mistake translating. Good luck!

I want to add more on top of your comment. @TravelingLilly posted in another thread they have pending I-751. This is increased risk of things going wrong. E.g. USCIS can be silly enough to move N-400 as requested but still attempt running I-751 interview on the day... If I was you @TravelingLilly I would prioritize immigration. I'd probably modify the trip to be in the US for interviews. There's a great chance with pending I-751 you won't get naturalized same day. @RLA did you have pending I-751 when you were rescheduling N-400?

It cannot be. I-751 must be approved for N-400 to be approved. If you filed I-751 jointly, your US citizen spouse must come with you. There's a great chance USCIS will run interviews for both I-751 and N-400. If your spouse is not there, here is what may happen:

Left empty

Nothing, left empty

How about going there and getting the license etc?

Yes, there is income requirement for sponsor. It's 125% of Poverty Guideline. https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p

I believe Writ of Mandamus could help

Time for N-400 or WoM?

There's great chance WoM would work for a case pending for 20+ months. I wouldn't file it for a case pending less than a year, it would be dismissed most likely. I hope WoM doesn't become an instrument misused to the point it won't be effective anymore.

Make sure you go to his interview. Good luck!

https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/find-study-materials-and-resources/study-for-the-test Anything related to your immigration history, marital status. This depends on whether you have I-751 pending. If you do, make sure to bring your spouse and updated marital evidence. Tax returns are useful to have to prove good moral character. If you had any criminal convictions - documentatiob around that. Any marriages / divorces, kids info. I'd bring those.

USCIS has 120 days to issue a decision after N-400 interview. Did the other person have combo interview too? I wouldn't worry for another month or so. Your case is still being processed quickly. Only a year ago it was not unusual to wait a year for N-400 interview, but you got it in 6 months. If you never applied for N-400 you'd likely be hearing nothing about I-751 for another year or so. Keep us updated, I'm sure you'll hear from USCIS soon!

Processing times are available here: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ To me, 3-4 months is a high expectation. Maybe few lucky ones were processed at that speed, but I wouldn't count on it. Interview in a month certainly happens, not sure if it's the norm though.

Theoretically you can but I wouldn't. You don't have any solid status in the US until you get GC.

Good luck and keep us updated. Hopefully they'll do something about your case soon!

That's not unusual. In USCIS time you filed 10 minutes ago

You got the answer from @Crazy Cat In addition: "Tax evasion is a felony. Any attempt to “evade or defeat” a tax is punishable by up to $250,000 in fines ($500,000 for corporations), five years in prison or a combination of the two, according to the IRS Tax Crimes Handbook. Plus, you’ll also be responsible for covering the costs of prosecution." Not working doesn't equal no income. Do you have any income? Are kids of working age? Do they make money? How does your spouse file taxes now? Single (incorrect) or Married Filing Separately? If any of these, you're required to file taxes under Married Filed Separately and repory any income of your own over $5 More info: https://www.greenbacktaxservices.com/knowledge-center/us-citizen-abroad-taxes/
