What this yellow letter includes ?
 
Attempted an early FP this morning. was turned down :( .. but was offered the option to reschedule.

Quick question for the experts here. My wife and twins currently have pending I-130's (live overseas). My wife's case was recently approved and forwarded to NVC. NVC has already contacted me for paying the Affidavit Of Support fee.

My question is: Is it mandatory that I upgrade my wife's and twins' cases to IR once I have become a US citizen? and my understanding is that my wife can include our twins in her immigrant visa application if her case remains under F2A. Otherwise, the twins will require separate applications. Can someone confirm this please?

Thanks much!
 
I did not look at the online message, I have an arrest record so they need my DL & case papers, i already sent certified copy of my case from court.

Did you not send the paperwork upfront (togetherwith your N-400)?
I too had an arrest record - for "Reckless Driving" (final charge being Civil speeding). I don't know if this could delay my case...

I got this same update today. Waiting In the mail to see what is it that I need to send. I think is just the FP notice.
 
N-400 3 year rule - Please help

Hello All,

I am having some tuff time with my attorney, he is saying Permenet Residency starts ( the day you remove conditon on your GC, or in other words the day when you get you 10 year GC ) . Based on that he is saying I am not qualifying for applying N-400 and I have to wait 3 more years

Here are my details

Married US Citizen in March 2006
Conditional GC arrived November 2006.
Condition removed on July 2009 ( Got 10 year gc approve )

1. In N-400 instrucetion is said ( 3 years from permenent residence ) when Permenent residence start, does it satrt from first day of conditional GC or 1st day of 10 year gc ( after removing condition )

2, Based on above time lines I am eligilble to apply n-400 ( 90 days before 3 years living with US citizen spouse ) ?

3 - Do I need to bring my spouse for N-400 interview ( based on 3 years marriage rule )

4. My Condition on GC was removed on July 6, but I lost card in mail. I think I can apply N-400 on ( Aug 1 , based ) based on 3 years - 90 day rule but I dont have GC ( since i lost in mail, never recieved ) - I applied for replacement of GC by I-90 but I am still waiting. Can I apply N-400 without having physical card even though my GC is approved.

thank you
 
WTF - After over 100 pages of documentation , I received an RFE email .
I will have to wait till Tuesday to find out more .

I see many on this board have received the same email ... I hope it is the FP notice and not more documentation .


Here is what I received .

"...........we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence or information in this case N400 APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the requested information. This case will be in suspense until we receive the evidence or the opportunity to submit it expires. Once we receive the requested evidence or information and make a decision on the case, you will be notified by mail........"
