    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?

    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)
  5. OldUser
    Not always. But in general, she'd naturalize quicker VS waiting for I-751 approval before filing N-400
  6. 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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This is perfectly normal. It can take 4-8 weeks after delivery to get any update and extension letter. I-751 is a very slow process. It's not worth stressing about it!
  12. OldUser
    Can be safely ignored. Nobody other than USCIS can know for sure when case will be approved.
  13. OldUser
    Just an addition: a third party website or app cannot predict with 100% guarantee what USCIS would do today or tomorrow. Hopefully, though, this skipped batch is getting attention finally. Good luck to everybody!

    It may never update. It doesn't matter anymore. Some officers don't bother updating it
  15. OldUser
    You're asking a good question. Legally, yes, they have I-551 stamps in passports which is the same as physical green card. Some airlines, may not be familiar and indeed deny boarding. This happens to some travellers on expired 2 year GC and valid extension letters. It's worth printing airline carrier guide and taking on trip, to be able to explain to airline if boarding is refused. They need to arrive to airport early too in case if verification takes more time.

    You can apply for N-400 and state correct date of resident since date. You can go extra mile and apply for I-90 before you do N-400. If it's USCIS error, I-90 is free.

    The cost with this person (money) may be cheaper right now, but following this person's advice may cost you more time, effort and money with USCIS. If you can't afford a good lawyer, please listen to advice on VJ. Folks here know a lot more than notarios and have genuine desire to help, as they don't make $$$ on you.

    Qualified immigration lawyer could not tell you not to file AR-11. AR-11 must be filed within 10 days of address change. Failing to file it can have very negative consequences. Ultimately, it is a deportable offence not to file AR-11!
  19. OldUser
    Birth cert is preferred. It should list both parents AFAIK.
  20. OldUser
    MyProgress estimates can be safely ignored. I'm yet to see somebody whose estimate was accurate. People see "7 months until decision" on day of their oath. Typically a review from more senior adjudicator or even field office director.
  21. OldUser
    I wouldn't expect any progress 5 days after mailing. Give it 4-8 weeks
  22. OldUser
    You need to stop listening to a preparer and either file the case yourself or with a lawyer. Most of the times preparers / notarios make mistakes or cause misrepresentation issues that become hard to recover from in the future. If you live apart, yes it is a red flag. Lawyers are right, GC may be in danger if you don't file things correctly. You definitely need to prove your case with all evidence of visiting each other etc. It does look like you have good evidence, but you need to build a strong case. As a side note, did you file AR-11 every time you moved? Also, did your US citizen spouse file I-865 every time she or he moved?
  23. OldUser
    Depends on your local field office. But generally under 12 months for most applicants right now.
  24. OldUser
    Good luck with N-400! Are you filing online? If he is eligible for naturalization under general provision (5 years of being resident), he should apply under that VS based on marriage to US citizen. The benefits for applying under general provision: - Fewer docs to submit - Much easier case to adjudicate - You, US citizen spouse is not required to attend the interview - Generally, marriage doesn't have to be proved again, shortening interview and overall processing time etc
