Hi - I have submitted my N400 a couple of weeks ago from the UK as my spouse is living here and working for DODEA which is an approved employer to apply from the UK.

USCIS have sent me a notification saying I need biometrics to proceed further and to arrange getting my fingerprints taken on an FD-258 card and to contact the US embassy or a US military base as there are no USCIS offices in the UK.

Has anyone had to do this and made arrangements to do so? I am planning to contact the embassy tomorrow and as my spouse works on a US military base I am going to contact them also tomorrow. I am struggling to find any information online that confirms exactly what I need to do.

Thanks

Hi Everyone!

My husband and I are expecting our baby in January. I m a U.S. citizen and my husband is a permanent resident who is expected to receive his citizenship next year. I would really love for my mother-in-law to visit after the baby s birth, both to meet her grandchild and to help out, as I don t have any family nearby.

My question is, how likely is she to be approved for a visitor visa? She s a stay-at-home mom and has never traveled outside of Egypt except to Saudi Arabia for Hajj and Umrah. She s married, and her husband owns a business. She also has land in her name, and their home is jointly owned by both of them. My father-in-law wouldn t be traveling, as he needs to stay and manage his business.

I know the U.S. Embassy in Cairo can be quite strict with visitor visa approvals, so I m curious if anyone has gone through a similar experience or has any insight.

Thank you!

Hi All, I m seeing contradicting information so I want to get answers from people that already got their visas.

Do I need to have my fianc s original Birth Certificate for the interview or is a copy enough?

I m still waiting on NOA2 to but need confirmation on that. Thanks.

Hi everyone! Both of my parents are applying for the N-400s under the general rule (I, US citizen, was their petitioner). They've been LPR for 9 years.

They got married in their home country and can't find their marriage certificate, will it be required in the application? We've got tax transcripts (but from what I've read they don't even need to submit that).

Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated!
