  1. So this is the only potential issue I could think of. It's unlikely going to be a proble though. There are very rare cases when officers interpret marital union requirement super strictly. In any case, you can always apply on 5 year rule if this petition gets denied.
  2. I don't see much of an issue with your case unless you spent too much time apart during your travel (marital union issue)
  3. @TravelingLilly do you satisfy physical presence requirement for naturalization? E.g. "must have been physically present in the United States for at least 18 months (548 days) out of the 3 years immediately preceding the date of filing the application."
  4. In my understanding it is any time before June 4th, 12 am. So perhaps June 3rd, 11:59pm was the last opportunity to upload. Either way you got too close to the deadline. I think you should have replied at least 2 weeks before the deadline. This all looks like you have to reapply for N-400.
  5. Why does this matter? If it's all about revenge, VJ members rarely give any tips about harming other people. Sorry the marriage didn't work out.
  6. No. She's not getting any immigration benefit from you, you cannot withdraw any cases etc.
  7. Can you please clarify? 1) Are you a US citizen? 2) Are you married to the "ex"? 3) Did you sponsor "ex" for Green Card? 4) What solid evidence do you have of her committing fraud?
  8. Yes, I'd send it as is. Unless you have anything new to add 😊
  9. DIY will only cost you filing fees, I believe under $500. Lawyer may do it for around $5000
  10. Happens to people all the time. There's nothing to worry about.
  11. Thanks for clarifying. I also researched this topic and wanted to reply with similar conclusion but forgot.
  12. 20 months is pretty normal wait fine nowadays. You may / may not get approved within the next 6 months or you can go ahead and file N-400.
  13. Or WoM, which is more expensive. If end goal is naturalization, I concur, N-400 is the way to go.
  14. One way to attack it is to hire a lawyer to do full analysis and if OP is indeed not a citizen, write a letter requesting USCIS to justify how they came to conclusion OP could be naturalized before 5 year anniversary. Get some action, perhaps another oath and new certificate?
  15. I heard of cases other branches (DoS, SSA) are not happy and ask to reprove somebody's citizenship. In many cases people don't have certificate of naturalization and get stuck in limbo. This is a more interesting case. Hopefully OP's certificate satisfy any questions raised. But if DoS for example, insists OP is not a citizen, and USCIS says they are, it's an issue that's hard to resolve.
  16. Another thing, you can also come on free YouTube show for Hacking Immigration and see what the lawyer there thinks. It would be educational for everybody listening too. Good luck!
  17. Yes you did naturalize early, unfortunately. It may never be a problem. But it may become whenever you try sponsoring somebody else, or many years later when renewing passport or trying to get social security benefits. We just don't know for sure. The lawyers who said it's not an issue, did they put this in writing or was it only verbal affirmation?
  18. Employment in family business is pretty much unemployment in the eyes of many officials. And if you can't even produce paychecks that just confirms that perception.
  19. Ideally you should not travel for some time, say for another 6 months, and then only leave for a few weeks or a month. In general you should spend more time inside the US than outside. If you travel in June for 3-6 months again, that could get you in a trouble. The rules you should care about is continuous residence (no trips over 6 months), physical presence (more days in the US than outside). Every time you spend over 12+ months outside the US or have too many trips / long trips, your residency maybe questioned by CBP.
