    Has it been 8 weeks since you filed I-751?
  2. OldUser
    Agreed. I-751 instructions say "as much documentation as possible". I sent monthly statements. My case got approved without RFE, without interview. I didn't care how many pages was my packet as I paid lawyer flat fee for filing I-751. If I had to print myself, I wouldn't mind paying more to print more pages. After all, it was in my interest to have a smooth case.

    You can file complaint against them, but it won't solve your current issue.

    Yeah, this means either getting another MMR (typically it's safe) or doing antibody test (which may be more hassle and expensive). If civil surgeon doesn't trust paperwork (and most won't), you don't have many options other than getting vaccines in US pharmacy or at civil surgeon's office.

    That's a bummer! You can probably write some sort of complaint and report the place to USCIS... Of course that could mean if USCIS stops recognizing them, applicants from your country will have to find other options...

    Good point! On your DS-3025, @alg_ is box "K Visa applicant voluntarily completed vaccination requirements" checked? If yes, you don't need I-693

    I wish I could give you a solid answer on this, but I can't. I did hear USCIS cannot process case while FOIA is in progress, and it makes sense to me why that would be. It's because updating case requires modifying it, putting notes etc. And if it's continuously updated, what info can FOIA return? So all files get frozen, taken "snapshot" of and returned to you after some redactions.

    You can try a different civil surgeon. But so you know, most won't sign off DS-3025 done overseas. They don't have to do it, nobody wants to take responsibility and risk their license in the US. Another option is to get full medical exam here in the US (I-693). This is why I always recommend completing all vaccinations overseas.

    It's a black box. Nobody can tell for sure how long it would take. But generally... Can it take 5 years? Unlikely. Can it take only 1 day? Unlikely. Anything in between are probabilities. A lot of factors are envolved: who's working on your files, where the files are located, recent USCIS hiring freeze and many more. If it's less than 6 months since N-400 was filed, I wouldn't even worry.

    Not a bad idea, no issues with FOIA. It cannot harm you. The case may be delayed, that seemed like an issue for you... Is potential delay a problem?
  11. OldUser
    Anything that would be a material misrep? If it's not something like criminal charges etc, you should think hard whether you really need it.
  12. OldUser
    To my knowledge, not many. Your case will be denied. Alternative is getting exam elsewhere who can guarantee quick turnaround and sending it on time.

    15 months? This is fast. Many cases now take 16-17 months.

    It's not random. I-751 needs to be approved before N-400 can be approved. Any verbal approvals in the interview are not legal approvals. It might have taken some time to adjudicate case after interview. Also, it can take 4-8 weeks for any letters sent by USCIS to arrive. There's nothing random about that letter. You may even receive 10 year GC before your oath is scheduled.

    Replied here already:

    This doesn't change much. USCIS looks at current situation at the time of adjudication. If you're divorcing, you can't have a joint petition. It must be changed to divorce waiver petition.
  17. OldUser
    Why do you need FOIA? Your case may be delayed, but nobody can tell you specifics. If all of your files are digital, maybe delay won't be that long. If some of them are in limestone cave, yeah, retreiving those may take some time. Whether you're going to be placed last in the queue - I wouldn't think so.

    Interview can happen whether you had I-485 interview in the past or not. And as I said earlier, if your I-751 gets approved on the wrong premise, you're in very bad position. The wrong premise is if USCIS thinks you're living in bonafide marital union, but you're in fact separated and divorcing. Joint petition is not applicable to your case.
  19. OldUser
    I-485 likely?

    So I assume you filed online. I also assume both of you are naturalizing under general provision (5 year rule). If so, they are two separate cases. They may be treated by different officers on different days, and this is normal. If you read N-400 form carefully, spouses' name and information section is not relevant for N-400 under general provision. It's relevant for people who're naturalizing under 3 year rule, based on marriage to US citizen. When you file online, some sections are skipped automatically based on your case type. Chill, everything looks good so far in your and your wife's cases. Good luck!

    You're in a tight spot. Your I-751 has been pending for a while and can be approved any moment without interview. This is the last thing you want if your marriage isn't working. Since you filed I-751 jointly and now separated, it's crucial to get divorced and notify USCIS you're switching to divorce waiver case. Another danger is that you and your spouse can be called for I-751 interview. If you're separated, that would be really bad. You may need to seek legal help from family lawyer (regarding divorce) and immigration lawyer (regarding I-751 and N-400).

    Oath is scheduled Wait. Your N-400 was approved. Office may be busy, you're just waiting for available slot or whenever there are enough people naturalizing to schedule ceremony.
  23. OldUser
    The more relevant evidence, the better.
  24. OldUser
    This is a good idea.

    Are you married to a US citizen?
