    Because it's going ok doesn't mean it will be approved if you don't meet eligibility criteria. Did you live with US citizen spouse at same address for 3+ years on day you filed for N-400 Not meeting marital union criteria at the time of filing is not a minor mistake, cannot be corrected and leads to denial of N-400. One can refile when eligible.

    Cannot file 90 days early of 3 years of marital union. This is what @ManefMelissa probably means and it was correct not to proceed. While one can file 90 days early of 3 year anniversary of being LPR, this doesn't apply to marital union. One has to be living together with US citizen spouse for 3+ years on date of N-400 filing.

    Imagine he does't list it. Officer asks him under oath to confirm all addresses he lived at. What would he say? Officer asks whether he and you lived apart at any point. What would he say? Sure, he was required by law to update his address with USCIS within 10 days of moving.

    If the plan to file immigrant petition for the child in the future, IMHO it's best to determine whether it's a biological child or not now and avoid issues with misrep

    Not when the child is biological child of applicant. OP says the child is biological child of her husband. A biological child cannot be just a friend.

    It's impossible to combine N-400 with Adjustment of Status interview. Did you mean Removal of Conditions interview?

    Hi @Scandi I'm coming back to say you were right, neither interview letter nor oath letter were printed on watermarked paper, unlike other documents during AOS and ROC stage.
  8. OldUser
    Agree with @Crazy Cat All green cards, EADs, Advance Paroles, Re-Entry permits, Refugee Travel Documents etc should be surrended before oath. @jennifert USCIS is sometimes funny. Some people received 10 year GC even after becoming US citizens!

    Got it, it was a valid reason for withdrawal then. I think you can apply any time, but who knows whether pending withdrawal can cause any confusion. Are you reapplying on 5 year rule now or still under 3 year rule?
  10. OldUser
    You can reapply any time. Nobody can stop you from doing it. If you want to keep things clean and easy, apply when case is withdrawn. Emma is not a source of legal advice or accurate information.

    What mistake did you make that could not be corrected during N-400 interview? Did you apply too early?

    In my view it will take a very kind officer to believe the applicant who maintains relationship, but doesn't acknowledge the child on forms: Things are getting stricter and tougher by the day. Just because you're speeding, doesn't mean you can use excuse "I looked at the road, not the speedometer, officer". Sure, many speeders don't get caught. But if caught the consequences are severe. Same here in my opinion.

    In ideal world he'd investigate and establish whether the child is his biologically or not before applying for N-400. And of course, any biological child has to be listed on the form. The idea he doesn't list biological child (if truly his) on N-400 and later sponsors the child for immigrant visa is wild. It would be a good reason for denaturalization. And if he lists the child now, he may have severe issue not listing it on prior forms. I'd establish real biological relationship and consult with a lawyer before proceeding with filing N-400.

    You're suggesting lying on N-400 form to avoid uncomfortable questions? That's a risky strategy. I applied under 5 year rule and despite of that was asked whether I ever lived separately from my spouse at any point by officer. What would OP say? You really cannot lie under oath! OP has to face questions, whether comfortable or not. Truth won't disqualify him, he's applying under 5 year rule. Lie can cause a big problem.

    He should absolutely list address at which he lived for 1.5 years. Sure, he didn't change address with USCIS or DMV, but I doesn't matter. Question asks about addresses where he lived, not addresses where he pretended to live.

    There's always people whose cases get approved faster or slower. When I submitted my I-751, the estimated time was 7 months. It took 20.5 months. The funny part, a friend who is similar age as me, same immigration history, similar job etc submitted case 2 weeks later than me, and got approved 3-4 months faster than me. But there were people who waited even longer than me around same time. You'll get your approval, it's the last stretch 😊
  17. OldUser
    There's nothing to worry about. The estimates mean nothing. Any case under 12 months is within normal processing times. Good luck!
  18. OldUser
    It shouldn't. It's a valid request. Some officer's just don't have full authority over case and have to get approval from a higher up

    You weren't approved on spot in my view. On spot means status was updated within few hours. Like when I went through AOS, my case status was updated within 2 hrs and card was sent to production on same or next day.
  20. OldUser
    This means you weren't approved yet. Hopefully you'll get approval within few days.
  21. OldUser
    Good point

    Recommended by whom? I recommend the opposite - monthly statements. The lawyers I worked with on my AOS and I-751 recommended monthly over quarterly statements. I-751 instructions specifically ask for as much documents establishing bonafide marriage as possible. With online submission, there'S even nothing to print. So argument that it's expensive etc does't work. Just clicking the button to upload files

    So Bahamas are in the same camp as Canada, e.g. citizens don't need visa. Looks like a mistake was made automatically admitting you as B2 based on nationality. I wouldn't think this could present a big issue, since it wasn't your issue. You always presented yourself as LPR.

    FOIA takes time. So you did show GC in 04/2023? Or where you waved through? What citizenship do you have? Do you spend majority of time in the US or outside?
  25. OldUser
    This is typical. If you prepare and bring a lot of evidence - you're never asked much. It's folks coming emptyhanded and unprepared who get grilled the most
