FINALLY!

[mrath5 40]

I just checked my husbands case status on the uscis website and after FOUR years it finally says case was approved!!!! I don’t know if it helped at all but I did google our states immigration congressman and they were putting in an inquiry last week, and yesterday it was approved. I’m so relieved and I wish you all a painless removal of conditions process. This website has helped me so much from the start and I appreciate all of you! 
 

ps we did NOT apply for his citizenship

if u didn't sign a release form for Congressman to get status updates  of the case ,  then no he/she did nothing

they need to see your ID and have u sign a release form

they emailed us the release form and we sent that back signed along with copy’s of any notices we received. Even if they didn’t do anything it doesn’t matter to me since it got approved. Just thought it might be an option for other people just in case it did help. 
 

We don’t really have any plans of him becoming a USC, as of now the pros do not outweigh the cons for us. No family of his is going to come here 😂

Don't do it Or if you do it, scan / take photos of everything first.

I strongly suggest you refrain from destroying your evidence.  You might change your mind about citizenship. That evidence might come in handy.

Physical copies can be lost. Scan the docs and store them on a cloud service. Then burn.

I'd say have copies on laptop + memory stick + cloud. Triple backup to ensure you always have some copy.

No, don't,  You save the bon fire AFTER citizenship is received

As @mrath5 pointed out, there are no plans of naturalizing. Probably to do with country of origin's rules about dual citizenship.

 

Even after naturalizing, I strongly advise keeping the paperwork in a shoe box in a cellar or attic after making digital copies. You never know when you might need it again (sponsoring relatives etc). Also, those docs would be super useful if passport and certificate of naturalization is lost, or if any officials have to establish facts about your naturalization.

We wanted to but then we applied for a brother (15+  years)  we may need all that info later in the brother's process
