You status says "naturalization-approved". If that's not the case you really should update it. And, :time:

Thank you siasimba. The easiest way to go through the whole process is to read the guides as they provide a step by step process and ask as many questions possible. People on this forum are great about answering and I will be more than happy to help you throughout your process. You can send me emails too.

I filed the I-130, G-325, I-864, I-864A (Co-Sponsor form), I-485, I-765 (Employment Form) and I-131 Advance Parole (Travel Document) and I-693 (Medical Examination for Immigrant) and all supporting documentation required.

Let me know if you need help and I will assist you as much as I can.
