    Is your visa category current? If it was sponsorship by sibling for example, we're talking about decadea of waiting.

    I would be careful believing any promises by officer.

    Your entire immigration history is verified again during N-400. Marriage may be required to be proved again at this stage. If you spoke to a lawyer before applying they could have suggested not to apply or how to prove your marriage on spot at the interview. I'd start consulting a lawyer already, before you're given RFE deadline or things develop further in negative direction. Sometimes counteractions take time, which you may not have in the future. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

    Anything more official than that? You'll probably have to do some work contacting court and getting something on paper.

    Sorry to hear it. Yes, your fears are not ungrounded. Are you planning to consult an immigration lawyer? You're in a tricky situation.
  6. OldUser
    Yes, just read prior messages in this thread...
  7. OldUser
    The answer is Yes. What proof do you have? I'd imagine for first one, you have some court decision on paper? For second, proof of payment of some sort?

    I personally never went to secondary when travelling on expired GC and extension letter using GE. Thank you for your data point!

    File a case / add new case? There should be a button when you're in MyUSCIS account

    It's your call whether to risk it for vacation. Technically, you should be allowed into the US. You may be briefly placed in secondary when returning on advance parole. Good luck!

    Yes, if she meets physical presence, marital union, continuos residence and good moral character requirements.

    Have you paid the fee? Typically arrives within 90 days

    Yes, the process is to file N-400 form and provide bonafide marriage evidence: 1) Joint tax return transcripts for 3 years 2) Evidence of financial comingling (joint bank account statements, joint assets) 3) Evidence of living together for the past 3 years (joint lease, or joint mortgage) 4) Other proof of marriage 5) Current marriage certificate 6) If you or spouse were divorced before, provide divorce certificates You can file N-400 after being resident for 3 years and married to US citizen for 3 years (if you lived together all 3 years) and if you didn't have any trips over 6 months in the last three years and spent more than 18 months in the US in the last 3 years.

    General provision. You can file for citizenship after being a resident for 5 years. Even if you are married to US citizen or got GC through marriage. I filed under 5 year rule, because my I-751 was approved and I was eligible. I could file under 3 year rule, but didn't need to involve my spouse at this point.
  15. OldUser
    Common. Even with approved I-751, if filing N-400 under 3 year rule, you still may need to prove marriage. USCIS needs to check marriage two more times (I-751 and N-400). It will happen no matter what in one form or the other.
  16. OldUser
    Totally understandable. Hang in there!

    That's great, congrats, make sure to take child's birth certificate to interview. Do you have utility bills in both names? Maybe car or medical insurance listing both names?
  18. OldUser
    Congratulations!!!

    Thing of it this way... Nowadays, I-751 takes about 2 - 2.5 years to be adjudicated. Now you're filing N-400 which depends on I-751. Since N-400 always requires interview, USCIS may decide just to schedule for a combo interview (I-751 and N-400)
  20. OldUser
    Not always. But in general, she'd naturalize quicker VS waiting for I-751 approval before filing N-400
  21. OldUser
    Hard to predict in current political climate that changes every day. But typically between 3-12 months, depending on USCIS local field office. Depends on what you submitted. Also, filing N-400 slightly decreases chance of interview being waived for N-400
  22. OldUser
    I like your optimism, but given situation, photos as evidence, you can expect longer adjudication and potentially RFEs and stokes interview (look it up) Estimates on MyProgress or any trackers are not to be trusted, they're always inaccurate.
  23. OldUser
    Joint assets and comingled finances are extremely important, as well as joint residence (both names on lease, house deed or mortgage statements). Only photos is very weak evidence. You need to have other things.
  24. OldUser
    Do you have an emergency? Yes, I-131 should allow you to get in. But in theory, if I-485 is denied while you're outside the US, this invalidates I-131.
  25. OldUser
    Yes, she can file N-400 while I-751 is pending. Many folks on VJ do it. Multiple things can happen. 1) I-751 may get decided before N-400 2) I-751 and N-400 interviews may be combined 3) I-751 and N-400 interviews may be on different days N-400 cannot be approved without I-751 being approved first. If she only gets N-400 interview and no decision on the day, she'd have to wait for I-751 approval. The good news is, USCIS can be sued after 120 days after N-400 interview for a decision if she doesn't have it by then.
