Hey family . I have my problem again with rfe ! 
I applied back in 2020 ! I had my first rfe back in 2022 ! I responded to them then my status changed to name been updated! After 700 days ! I checked today another rfe !!! Im soo worried about it ! Dose anyone know what might be ? Or do they will ask me again for more abuse evidence after 4 years ? 

if you receive rfe immediately after your name was updated in that case, they will ask you supporting docs for name update.

yes you can apply after 2 years and 9 months. There is whole section for citizenship on this forum please refer to that section. 

Hey Balo! 
So it does not have to be specifically 3 years ?
2 years 9 months is enough time between GC issued date and N-400 application ?

Yes right after 2 years and 9 months you can file for citizenship.

Precisely, it's 90 days, not "3 months."  There's a difference.

Avoid applying on what you think is the 90th day; wait a few days longer.

People have had their N-400s rejected consequent to being even one day too early.

Hi All, My child is under 18 yrs old and i would like to apply for his citizenship once  N400 is approved and Oath ceremony is done.

 

I need to change his middle name and wondering if i need to do that during my interview. Could you please advise?

I'm pretty sure it has to be done during his interview, but I may be wrong.

Name changes aren't available as a part of N-600 or US Passport Applications, or for minor child as a part of a parent's N-400.

If you need to change his name you'll have to file for that with a state court (which you know, how annoying it is depends on the state's requirements like publication).

The best way about this would be to file for that now, naturalize, and when you file for his US passport or N-600, include the name change order so they'll issue the document in a new name.

 

In either case Social Security will have to be notified of the name change on your own. The various health departments likely don't do it, and USCIS doesn't do it with an N-600, they just recently started offering that as an option on an N-400.

Easiest way is to just send in the original documentation (certified name change order, proof of citizenship) with an SS-5 for a new card.

@Shroy123 Interview notice asks for Citizenship certificate of abuser which i do not have. What can i say if USCIS officer asks for it?

You dont have any proof of your spouse immigration status like passport?
