N-600 Part 4 Item 4 asking about Information About Your U.S. Citizen Biological Father

downloaded form is "Country of Citizenship or Nationality" of father

online form after you filled out and downloaded to computer "Country of Prior Citizenship or Nationality" of father

online form while filling this question Item 4 "Country of Citizenship or Nationality"

I came here from Vietnam and was naturalized and become US Citizenship later.

My question is I am filing the form on behalf of my daughter and the question is about me. On downloaded form the country is USA. but the online form the country is Vietnam.

So, which is I am going to input?

Thank you

My husband came to America in October 2024 on a K1 visa. We married in November. He went "Out of Status" in January and we are working on applying for his Adjustment of Status. We weren't able to file before January but have most of the application complete aside from the I-693 because we have to get his HepB shot and see a civil surgeon.

This may be a silly question but I'm just hoping for a bit of reassurance because we're very anxious. A federal judge is allowing the current administration to move forward with a requirement for illegal immigrants to register with the federal government and carry documentation. We're both worried that his "Out of Status" classification means that he is here illegally and will be required to register.

I'm hoping you all might be able to explain how this works and where my husband would fall into it, if at all. And of course, we're working on getting his AOS application completed ASAP!

Thank you so much for any help you might be able to give us.

Hi guys and gals, I got a RFE to resubmit evidence for marriage certificate and birth certificate. I ran into a problem as scanning pictures became too dark, if I tried to adjust the color, the text becomes too faint.

Is it acceptable to take a picture with an iPhone then insert it to scanned pages? The background for scanned pages are obviously black and white but the photo taken page has slight variations. Will USCIS accept this?

I selected the option to change my name in my N-400 form, however, during the interview, the IO said I couldn't do a name change because I live in a different state than the Federal court house where the oath ceremony would be held.

My issue is that I need to change my name ASAP due to name mismatch issues (christened name is commonly dropped from official ID, banks, etc in my home country, whereas my GC/DL/etc in the US have my full christened name).

My IO recommended me for approval, and case status shows as ceremony awaiting to be scheduled.

To avoid delays after the ceremony, I would like to get my name changed immediately at the local district court.

Has anyone done this? Reasons to not do this? I would immediately report the name change via USCIS as expected of GC holders.

My Vietnamese Wife's name consists of 4 Names (Last Name, Middle Name, First Name #1 First Name #2). Example: Nguyen Thi Thu Trang
Essentially, her Vietnamese first name is "Thu Trang".

On her K-1 Visa, I-94 Entry Doc, Foreign Passport, and Marriage Certificate, it lists her Last Name as "Nguyen" and Given Name as "Thi Thu Trang".
She would like to go by "Trang" (First Name #2) on her future ID and documents, instead of "Thi Thu Trang", as listed on her current paperwork.

During her entry into the U.S. a couple of months ago, customs officers were calling her "Thi" instead of "Trang".

Rather than a Name Change, can we just change her name Name Ordering, so that it can become:

Last Name: Nguyen
Middle Name: Thi Thu
First Name: Trang

Or do we need to wait until her N-400 Citizenship Process starts until we can start the name ordering change?

Thank you so much!
