They may send you a letter asking for documents to show that it's a legitimate business which meets all the relevant criteria (amount of money you invested, jobs created etc.). So start gathering those documents from now. Yes, you already submitted that stuff when you applied for the 10-year...

Right now all you can do is wait ... but you don't have to wait forever. By law they must give you a decision within 120 days after the interview, otherwise you can file 1447(b) with the court to force USCIS to make a decision or to have the court itself decide your case.

That is strange. The interview location is supposed to be based on the address of the immigrant applicant. That's exactly what will happen. By now your wife should have the employment authorization card, so she can change jobs (and move to CA, if that's what you both want) without the H1B...

If that person has no involvement with your immigration process (such as being a financial sponsor or providing an affidavit about your relationship), their criminal history will not affect your immigration process.

Did you receive a 10-year green card? If yes, your permanent resident status in the US is not dependent on being married, and you won't have to leave if you get divorced.

You have to start over fresh with the F3 category, new priority date and everything. However, you can keep both the F3 and F4 processes going on at the same time, and obtain the green card from whichever one progresses first to completion.

Over 79 years old doesn't require biometrics.

Sometimes they want to take away the AP and other documents at the end of the interview even if they aren't giving an official approval on the spot. So it's important to try to hold on to the AP anyway, unless they clearly state that they are officially (not just verbally) approving the case...

Go ahead and file. While your case is not a slam dunk for approval, your chances look pretty good. Don't send tax transcripts and other additional evidence with the application, but bring that evidence to the interview and be prepared to show it if you need to do so (and only if you need to).

Just tell them at the interview that after filing the N-400 you found out that you owed $20 and have already paid it, and you won't have a problem.

Theoretically, a visit to the COP could trigger an investigation into whether you lied to gain asylum, and if your lying is exposed your citizenship could be revoked. It wouldn't be the COP visit by itself that would jeopardize your citizenship. But in reality, such investigation is very...

In the past people have lost US citizenship for minor reasons such as moving abroad within a few years after naturalization. The courts have struck down those and now denaturalization requires a much higher burden and must go through the courts. Now denaturalization much more difficult and...

If she doesn't have a recent history of long trips outside the US, they probably won't give her a problem for this first long trip. But there is still a chance of problems if she encounters a strict immigration officer, so it would be good to carry the doctor's note, and other medical records...

The I-864 has different income questions, which can have legitimately different answers. 1. Income on the tax return: This number is to be copied as is from the tax return, even if it's a joint return and the combined income is not being used towards the I-864. 2. Individual income: The...

Yes, you can return to the US just for the interview and leave again immediately after the interview. If they ask for your Advance Parole at the interview, make sure to resist that request and tell them you're going to leave the US again soon.

You need 3 full years as a US citizen for her to apply based on the 3 year rule. The 90 day early filing period is only for continuous residence and does not apply to your years of citizenship or marriage. People have been denied for those reasons.

If you already had a green card and the upcoming interview was for US citizenship, it might have been worth the risk to reschedule, as you'll still have your green card if they deny your citizenship application for failing to show up at the interview. But denial of your I-485 would cause you to...

DO NOT reschedule the interview. They are very bad at processing interview rescheduling for green cards, and will often deny people's I-485 for not showing up for the interview. Then you'll have to pay money to file a motion to reopen and wait weeks or months for them to reinstate your case...

All I can say is apply and see what happens. With TWO trips over 6 months your chances are not good, but approval is still possible.

The SSA and bank and DMV won't take away your original name change document, they'll just look at it, maybe take a copy, and give it right back to you. So you don't need multiple certified copies for those things.
