Success Stories: I-751 and N-400 applications approved for Vietnamese national married to U.S. Citizen at the NYC Field Office
We recently had an approval for naturalization (getting U.S. Citizenship) for a Vietnamese national who is a conditional permanent resident (green card holder) married to a U.S. Citizen at the New York City field office of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). At the same time, the couple also received an approval of their jointly filed I-751 removal of temporary conditions application. Congratulations to our clients!
The foreign spouse initially entered on a K-1 Fiance visa and we helped them with their adjustment of status application. Because they were newly married (less than 2 years), the foreign spouse received a 2-year conditional green card and we again assisted them on their I-751 Removal of Temporary Conditions application. In order to remain a permanent resident, the conditional resident must file a petition to remove the conditions on her residence during the 90 days before the card expires. The conditional card cannot be renewed and the I-751 form must be filed or the conditional resident will lose their permanent resident status.
However, due to massive backlogs at USCIS, there were long wait times for the adjudication of the removal of temporary conditions application. When the foreign spouse became eligible to naturalize, in three years, instead of the typical 5 years, we filed for his citizenship application.
Courtesy of this administration’s pledge towards government efficiency, USCIS conducted a joint I-751 and N-400 interview and the couple were approved for both applications in one interview and in a few minutes! The foreign spouse is scheduled to attend his oath ceremony soon, well on the way to achieving his American Dream.
