    You need to have at least 18 months total days in the US in the last 3 years to be eligible. Right now you are not eligible. So if you don't travel internationally for the next 6 months, you'll qualify to apply. But then I would not travel until you become a citizen because you'd be barely meeting requirements and any more or less long trip can make you ineligible.
  2. OldUser
    Yes, this is true. How does make it easier? Are you not flying?

    My extension letter (I-797) was printed on green watermarked paper. I didn't have online copy, but hard copy (I-797C) wasn't the same, it was black & white and not protected.

    Wow this is amazing! Haven't seen this yet! This should remove any excuses not providing enough evidence due to costs of printing or heavy packets!

    ADIT stamp has a few drawbacks: - It is only valid for 1 year. So you'd have to get it again - Many times, you will be asked to surrender expired physical green card to get stamp. And this means, even if you get extension letter later, it will be useless as it cannot extend validity of stamp. I'd get stamp if you urgently need it, but give some time because you never know how fast you can get InfoPass appointment.

    Absolutely list all other names. I always disclosed them and had 0 issue. I could have issues if I tried to hide it.

    Congratulations @EarlyAnxious! Thank you for the detailed report. It was smart to get passport card! I hope you got a large passport book too?

    But you didn't apply for reduced fee, did you?

    Thank you for posting the update! I guess certificate of citizenship is a lot more nuanced process. CoS does not expire, cannot be easily revoked etc unlike passport. Hence more scrutiny and processing to ensure it's issued correctly, to somebody who is truly eligible. At least this is my justification.

    The estimates can be safely ignored. They're not accurate at all.

    I-131 covers many documents. Your parent needs Re-entry Permit, not Advance Parole / Parole in Place or other docs. I'm not 100% sure but if you don't see Re-entry Permit option online, then paper I-131 should be filed. It could be that USCIS only supports filing I-131 online for certain documents, but not all

    Somewhat unlikely, but I'm not a lawyer. Why don't you try consulting a different lawyer? I don't think this process will be DIY for your circumstances. Do you have a US citizen spouse who can petition you?
  13. OldUser
    Yes, not new. Not really. I can bet money if you file online today and pay the full fee, it will sail through. The difficulties begin with reduced fees, waivers, things filed not ideally etc which make case a tiny bit more complex than simple. Essentially, even slight imperfection can cause rejection. You should have completed brand new form (make sure it's current). Don't mix typed text and handwriting. Write a cover letter explaining why you qualify for reduced fee. Good luck!

    Exactly, there is nobody to notify at this point

    You got I-129F approved. Why not get a new lease if you need it? Fiance can add your new address on DS-160. Once your fiance comes to the US and starts adjustment, you'd have to file I-865 every time you move until fiance becomes a US citizen or earns 40 quarters with SSA. I am not aware of any obligations to notify NVC about your address changes. I'm assuming you are a US citizen living in the US.

    You can check times here, depending on location. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ The next step is typically interview or approval.
  17. OldUser
    Congrats! You know this has nothing to do with reality. You'll be a citizen long before that
  18. OldUser
    If you're approved, interview is no longer relevant. Most likely both letters were sent together but USPS delivered approval notice before interview cancellation notice.

    Congratulations I had similar thought. I think many got trauma bonded with USCIS to an extent. That's probably why I'm sticking here on VJ, even though I got the citizenship and not sponsoring anyone.

    For N-400 you need to list all of your trips in the last 5 years (if applying under General Provision). 1) Did any of the trips exceed 6 months in the last 5 years? 2) Have you spent at least 30 months in the US in the last 5 years? 3) Do you have a payment plan in taxes owed? Depending on details, you may be ineligible to naturalize.

    Thank you! Didn't realize USCIS was affected by AWS outage!
  22. OldUser
    There is nothing to be worried about. All the hard things are behind. Oath ceremony is more like a celebration of you becoming US citizen. I applied for US passport first and then updated status with SSA.
  23. OldUser
    She should bring errata sheet to interview listing all other names or ways to spell her name. Let officer know she needs to amend answers. This is unlikely causing delays
  24. OldUser
    I'd only bring new one. And won't mention it unless they ask about I-864
  25. OldUser
    You're putting yourself at disadvantage. Having completed I-864 with you means you can give it there and then. Not having it can mean waiting a long time to communicate via emails / portals etc
