  1. And, we're done. Oath ceremony complete this afternoon. Happy to have that journey behind us.
  2. Heck, I wasn't even allowed in for our I-751 interview, strange as that seems.
  3. Just file the N400. We filed I-751 in January 2023. Filed N400 January 2024 and both are done already. Oath in two weeks.
  4. Two bolds are mine. Those tell me your kids wouldn't be eligible because they are not overseas in the physical custody of the US citizen parent becasue you are living in the US.
  5. Dude, you are good. Stop stressing about this. If you go into an interview as crazy tense as you seem here you might fail. Show a little confidence instead of abject fear. Just relax. My wife was stressed about it - I understand it's a Vietnamese thing to always think the worst - but it's not that bad when you get there. You have what you need. Just relax and answer the handful of questions you will get. Five minutes later you will wonder what you were all worked up about.
  6. Got our oath notice today for June 24. Did interview May 21. Glad to be almost finished with this!
  7. Bring the transcript and bank statements since you filed the I-751 if you are looking to ROC and N-400 at the same time. They asked my wife for both since the I-751 filing. Just glanced at them but they did ask.
  8. We did this for my wife's interview last week, per OldUser's direction. Same question even, but we had 2 instead of 3 marriages (didn't consider counting the current one). The interviewer asked if she had any additional documentation to provide and she gave him the errata sheet and it was a done deal. Three columns, first column is section and question number. Second column is what was entered. Third column is what it should have been.
  9. Dude, read what you wrote and just cut your losses and move on.
  10. Ours, too. I was checking for my wife's oath ceremony date as we are out of state for another week. I assume we will be fine but wanted to know what the date is.

    We're Done!

    Five years, alot of paperwork and a few thousand dollars. My wife took her citizenship interview this week and passed. Now just an oath ceremony left and then citizenship for her and her daughter. Will be good to leave USICS behind. Keep it up the rest of you. There is an end in sight.
  12. So, a very strange interview. My wife, daughter and I went to her N-400 interview. When we arrived we presented her appointment letter and I explained that we anticipated a combo interview for I-751 and N-400. The first guy had no idea what we were talking about but the other guy overheard and said to let us all go in. After 30 minutes or so the interviewer called her. I went up with her and asked if the files were there and could we get a combo interview. He said yes, he had the files, but he could adjudicate the I-751 and N-400 with my wife only. They didn't need me. I asked again and he said I wasn't needed. So, my daughter and I just sat in the waiting room. Twenty minutes later she came out and the interviewer told me that she passed. I asked him if that meant the N-400 or the I-751 and he said both. I was a bit worried because I put together the packet and knew where everything was. He indicated that he needed to check a few things and watch the USICS site for her oath appointment letter. She later told me he asked her if she had any additional documents to submit. She didn't know what submit meant when he said documents since we filed I-751. Finally she figured out what he wanted and showed him copies of the bank statements and last IRS filing report. He glanced at them, didn't ask for any copies and said she was fine. He asked her about employment. She said she was a stay-at home mom. He asked how old her daughter was. When she said 17 he asked why she needed to be a stay-at-home mom for a 17 year old. She laughed and said "I have an 8 month old baby." We had uploaded his birth certificate with the N-400 but it was after we submitted the I-751 so he must have just glossed over the files. Just a bit strange all around but at least we are done!

  14. No updates since Fingerprints were Taken or Biometrics Reused. Should we still plan to just all go there when my wife goes for N400 interview and hope for a combo interview? It would be for wife and daughter. I assume the 17 year old daughter needs to attend as well. I thought I read something about children over 14 must attend.
  15. Errata sheet? Just a letter since this is an online application?
