Hello. My mother filed Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, on April 7, 2025 in Sacramento. She had her interview in early December 2025. She passed English and civics tests. USCIS did not make an immediate decision and later issued a Request for Evidence on December 10, 2025, requesting additional documentation related to continuous residence and California state residency. She also broke her continous residency due to covid shut down in 2020. We submitted a response to the RFE on December 15, 2025. On February 5, 2026, USCIS scheduled a subsequent interview for the Form N-400 application. Is this normal and what kind of outcome we should expect from this 2nd interview?

TIA.

I got 2 questions regarding AOS interviews and wondering if anyone can answer them.

1. It's been around 2 months since I've done my interview with my wife. The interview went quite well. Is it normal to wait this long post interview if the officer explicitly said that we're an "easy" case?

2. The officer did not ask us for any additional documents in the interview and I haven't sent any additional documents prior to the interview, is this normal? Or should I upload additional documents?

I've normally followed the path of "don't give them what they didn't ask for" throughout this process..

Thank you in advance!

Hi all,

NVC is processing cases for both my mother and father, as I received this RFE request for my mom's case only:

"Our records indicate that you are not a national of the country where your visa interview is scheduled and your eligibility document is missing/incomplete. Please upload valid proof of your legal status or residency in that country. This documentation is required before your case can proceed. For more information, refer to the Passport/Travel Documents section for your interview location at: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html"

The link takes me to the page that says "The U.S. Consulate General in Almaty has been designated to conduct immigrant visa services for residents of Russia (IR-5)."

Do you know what proof NVC might possibly want?
