    Congratulations! Can you please share the experience of going through it?

    Consider updating German passport with married name. Otherwise advice above is good. Carrying certified copy of marriage certificate while names don't match can be helpful.

    That's an interesting idea. Not sure if anybody ever done this. I don't see any downside to doing this.

    H-1B is a dual intent visa. You can enter the US with intent to adjust your status. I see no problem with adjusting status in the US while on H-1B.

    People also explain the name change with marriage certificate. I agrre though, it's a hassle to have different names on GC and passport. Another vote to keep current name until US naturalization.

    You could have applied based on general provision unless you broke continuous residence and needed 3 year rule. Those are easier cases and can go a bit faster. Keep us posted!

    Is I-751 still pending?

    Asking for any other date than you got is rescheduling. I'm very sorry for your loss. Flexibility isn't something USCIS offers often. You got interview letter with USCIS address on it. You can not only call USCIS asking for reschedule, but also send letter asking for earlier date. The chance of getting earlier date is very low. And even if you get interview sooner, you may not get decision on same day. Good luck and keep us posted. Again, sorry for your loss.

    Thank you @top_secret, I'm aware of this trick. I quoted @Rekyrts who suggested this in different thread. This is how I was planning to check it, maybe poorly phrased:

    Will she be in status in 90 days?

    I think you really cornered yourself with multiple decisions you made around renewing your IDs. Do you have any valid ID? If you apply for N-400, you'll need a form of ID for your interview (passport, DL, state ID, GC) Keep us posted!

    ~ The topic was moved to K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports as it is related to progress of K-1 application ~

    Yes, here:

    Do you realize this is a generic letter isn't worded for you specifically? They give thousands if them and include every possible piece of info they may need from visa applicants?

    Mistakes happen. Prior approvals don't guarantee future approvals. The reason immigration journey includes multiple applications and interviews is because USCIS reverifies information at each stage. They may conclude that other benefits they gave you or your wife should not have been given. Maybe applying for citizenship wasn't the best idea. Many people call it the easiest step, but it's not true. Many issues can arise / be discovered during this stage. As one lawyer says, citizenship application is the last chance for USCIS to deport somebody. Sometimes withdrawing N-400 and never applying again is an option. In many of those cases, at least in the past, USCIS would leave you alone. This is not a legal advice.

    You can leave the non applicable points out, such as research, invitation from an organization etc. But answer everything else to the best of your ability.

    No problem. I'll also post when I receive SS card (already have one without restrictions). And more importantly, when SSA account recognizes me as a US citizen.

    Reporting back. I went to appointment and was done within 20 minutes, majority of which was waiting. Used a terminal to get the ticket. Person at the initial window checked whether I really had an appointnent (took 2 mins). Person at the other window took 3 mins to actually update the record. I completed SS-5 but they never asked for it. US passport is the only ID I had to show. For a second, I though about trying giving passport card VS passport, but just kept it simple for SSA officer. I was given a confirmation letter saying I'll receive replacement card in the mail within 2 weeks.

    The reason is not everybody at USCIS does a great job. People in the past reported showing up for N-400 interview to only find out officer didn't realize there was I-751 pending. This gives them a chance to prepare better and not have excuse "we're only interviewing for N-400, I wasn't aware about other petition". It's doesn't cost anything to do it either.
  20. OldUser
    Ok, actually checked I-751 and it has similar question. Is your I-751 still pending?
  21. OldUser
    Disclosing it wouldn't affect your case. Not disclosing may affect your case. I don't recall I-751 asking for this information. N-400 is a different story.
  22. OldUser
    Thank you for giving more context. Based on that, rescheduled interview is not surprising. USCIS sitting on your case is not surprising. Two A files (or whatever officer said) is the least of your concerns. I'm surprised attorney filed N-400 knowing your immigration history. It looks like you may lose your green card. There's not much VJ users can offer you. This is not a DIY case. You need serious legal representation. Seek advice from somebody specializing in deportations and other complicated scenarious.
  23. OldUser
    I see, good luck! I think 2 months is pretty normal for N-400. You may need to wait a bit more due to pending I-751. Did you attach copy of I-751 receipt in N-400?
  24. OldUser
    To adjust. Changing is about switching from one non-immigrant status to another non-immigrant status. Like B-1/B-2 to F-1. This is correct The answer is also "Yes". Don't worry, overstay is forgiven for US citizen immigrant spouse, as long as it's honestly disclosed.
  25. OldUser
    Yes, those won't make a difference. Make sure you lived with your spouse for 3+ years (not 3 years - 90 days) on the day you apply for N-400 under 3 year rule. E.g. you can be LPR for 3 years - 90 days when you apply, but you need to be married for over 3 years to US citizen when you apply. Good luck!
