I'm feeling sad and disappointed as we're currently waiting for our approval, I know it's not that bad but we've been waiting for 7 months now and all we got as an update was a "Name was updated" status change while seeing other people who filed after us get approved. I know we're within the normal range but I just.. I promised myself I won't ever look at it again and just let what happens happen.

I passed my N400 interview (based on 3-year rule) on January 28th in Portland, Oregon. I mentioned it to the officer that I will be moving out of state in the middle of February due to work and they told me to change my address once that happens. Today I received my oath ceremony for March 20th in Astoria, OR (not even Portland) and I am moving on February 15th to Pennsylvania.

I will be changing my address on that day. Do I need to call the number listed on the oath ceremony to reschedule the ceremony now or do I wait until I moved and changed my address? Can/should I fly back to do the oath ceremony in Oregon or do you have to be naturalized based on your current address?

Curious if anyone else is has an N-400 processing (or recently completed) at the Portland, OR FO and would like to share updates to help pass the time!

My husband filed under the 3-year rule on October 10, 2025 and completed biometrics in November. Waiting for our next update.

Hi VisaJourney community, it's been a while!
I am getting ready to file my N400 under the 3 year rule and have a few questions about it.

• For proof of living with my wife, what is the best document to submit?
  • We have a mortgage together, so would a recent mortgage statement suffice, or do I need to provide the deed?
• I received a speeding ticket, that was later dismissed. Now I've read that I need to declare this on the application and provide proof its been dismissed.
  • I assume the mailed decision, form TR-215 is sufficient as proof?
• Is there a good flash card set for the new 2025 civics questions?
  • On Amazon I can only find the previous 2008 questions and I read that mobile apps are deceiving as they are multiple-choice and the actual test is not.
• Is there any need to study for the English exam if I am fully fluent?
• Does my wife attend the interview with me?
  • If so, is there anything she needs to prepare for?
• Are there any further fees after the interview that I need to bear in mind, i.e. passport issuance or anything like that?

Thank you in advance!

Hi. I petition for my brother long time ago. By mistake, I wrote wrong date of birth. I need to write 9 but wrote 6. I just checked when I got letter in the mail. I want to know how to correct this mistake. Help please. Thank you.
