    If this is the only thing holding you back - you should really apply for citizenship as soon as you're eligible. Many naturalized without ever seeing their 10 year GC. N-400s go relatively fast now, it may change in the future.

    You need to attach copy of I-130 receipt. I think it asks for copy of I-94 too. Here's full list: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/checklist-of-required-initial-evidence-for-form-i-765-for-informational-purposes-only

    The best you can do it let your partner learn it. You're not even his parent to be checking his work. He can also join VJ and spend his own time understanding how immigration works. Beyond forms I-129F and I-864, every other from filed techically belongs to immigrant, not US citizen spouse. Good luck!

    Either hire lawyer and follow their advice or listen to VJ users and follow their advice. In my opinion, no downside to listing this. At least you're transparent and upfront. If it's not an issue, officer will appreciate your openness. You can ignore parking tickets, but moving violation is typically recommended to be reported.

    I believe it's Nebraska, since it really matters who received your case, not who sent you online access code. I-130 for spouses take 13-17 months. You may see some movement in the next few months.

    It's a classic one. Whenever you bring tons of documents, you don't get asked for it. But if you come emptyhanded - that's when officer is eager to see more evidence. The moral of the story, in my opinion, is to bring evidence to make officer unmotivated to ask for evidence

    Congratulations and thank you for detailed report!

    Most N-400s take under a year nowadays. I got naturalized in 3.5 months. Good luck!

    How long ago was I-90 filed? It takes 4-8 weeks from filing to getting receipt in the mail. If you don't receive some letters after 8 weeks that's worrisome. What happens if GC gets lost too?

    Both can be true. Depending on state and county, you get asked for SSN to get license. If you have it, you provide it. If you don't have it, you say "I don't have it". It's best to get SSN before marrying though. Because SSA staff become reluctant to issue SSN once married until you have EAD. The reason is, I-94 becomes invalid the moment K-1 fiance marries. Their K-1 status is based on them being unmarried from what I understand.

    Sadly, it does take a long while for some I-90. Any plans to naturalize? Most likely, you would have been a citizen by now if you filed N-400 at the time you filed I-90. And with N-400 you would have gotten 24 months extension for your GC for free.

    Read the first post: It wasn't for AOS. OP successfully adjusted, but received wrong card. I-90 was filed to replace it. 10 year card renewal can be quick, but can also take 9-12 months.

    Bring valid proof of your status

    With SSN for fiance, it's either right after arrival, while they have valid I-94 and haven't married OR months later, after marrying, filing for adjustment and receiving EAD. SSN is asked from both parties for marriage license. If one party doesn't have it, they don't have it.

    New I-485 can take many months, even a year or more. I-130 on its own doesn't give you any status. Perhaps, you and /or your spouse can probably borrow money or take extra shifts and cut down expenses. Immigration process should not be taken lightly. Good luck!

    Probably wasn't production ready. They tested it on subset of users and rolled back. Don't you worry, USCIS will have another useless timeline feature released some time in the future. Nobody can predict with 100% how long the case will take, not even an immigration lawyer, not even USCIS.
  18. OldUser
    I wouldn't bother. You're submitting it with your packet, right?
  19. OldUser
    Not an issue at all. FOIA should not hurt your chances of getting visas.
  20. OldUser
    2 weeks is very early. Letters take 2-6 weeks easily to reach you if sent by USCIS.

    Not an issue in California.

    This is the third time you're asking this? My answer is the same: 1) I think USCIS just doesn't take you seriously at this point with this many missed ceremonies 2) I don't believe this is DIY anymore. a) I'd hire a lawyer to potentially withdraw N-336 and file a new fresh N-400. b) I'd be writing a cover letter for that N-400 literally saying you're intending to naturalize this time around c) I'd stay put in the US, don't move addresses, don't travel internationally until I become a citizen d) If you have anything else other than medical emergency conflicting with interview / oath, move or reschedule that, not interview or oath. You really have to prioritize immigration.

    Does she have any plans to become a US citizen?
  24. OldUser
    Yep, so add 13-17 months from date on your I-130. That's a safe estimate.
  25. OldUser
    She won't get denied because she hasn't travelled in 12 years. Other factors matter, like ties to Russia or criminal history. Worst case she loses the filing fee. Nobody can guarantee or predict outcome of application with 100% certainty. It's between the applicant and US government. But we can speculate based on similar cases in the past and how they went.
