US Immigration from El Salvador

Hey guys I tried to search and make sense of the postmark when sending documentation to USCIS but I'm still a bit confused, and with the new civic test and whatnot starting with new applications from Oct.20th 2025 my question is, if I send my application on Oct.20th via USPS does it still count due to the postmark being on the 20th still, or does the USCIS have me do the new one because it was received after the 20th? I'm genuinely curious if I should rush it on the 20th.

Hey guys, I'm going to apply for Citizenship this week, I'm just waiting for my AR11 to go through as I had forgotten to notify of my address change since 2 years ago, apparently it's not that big of a deal but it's still worrisome, I could've sworn I did it but my USCIS doesn't show my profile with the current address so I submitted it just in case, also couldn't find any confirmation emails.

Ok, so long story short I got a speeding ticket (speed greater than 65mph) and 2 other correctable infractions (tint and registration sticker which was up to date but peeled/stolen), everything has been corrected with proof and paid in full (traffic school was completed to avoid insurance issues by having the point hidden), total paid was under $500 (around $480) BUT before infractions were corrected the total cost of the ticket was $800+ if that matters; This is the only time I've ever received a ticket in my life, other than that my record is clean, I was pretty bummed out about my perfect record being thrown out the window, but that's on me.

I need to know if I'm putting the answers correctly for this:

Have you ever committed a crime (or helped, tried to commit a crime, or asked someone to commit a crime) for which you were NOT arrested?

-NO

Have you ever been given a ticket for a traffic or moving violation, while riding on public transportation, or for violating public property rules? Do NOT include parking tickets.

-YES (traffic violation)

Have you ever been arrested, cited, detained, or confined by any law enforcement officer, military official (in the U.S. elsewhere), or immigration official?

-YES (ticket = citation as far as I understand)

Have you ever been charged with a crime or offense?

-NO

Have you ever been put on probation or parole or received a suspended sentence?

-NO

Have you ever been stopped or questioned by any law enforcement officer?

-YES (I had to be stopped for them to give me the ticket)

I'm also curious about this one:

"I give permission to share the information in this application and USCIS systems with SSA so they can update my immigration status and send me a new card. "

My SSN card was given along with my green card after my i-30 was approved, it doesn't have the "valid for work only with DHS authorization" stamp, should I click Yes still?

Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone, as of April I have 5 years as a permanent resident and can apply for Citizenship, I noticed I apply for the reduced fee since I earn about $47K a year and I'm single without kids/dependents, however here's my issue:

I rent a room at one of our family's friends and have done so since 2022 since it's helping me a bunch to save a down-payment for a house, will this be a problem since it's the entire household that gets counted towards the poverty line, or does it not matter since I'm the ONLY member of my family here? We're not related and we don't have the same last names or remotely similar.

I was thinking of just sending my W-2's from 2022 until 2024 which show this address, would that be sufficient as evidence? Should I send copies of my car insurance and cell phone as well? Job letter?

I'm a bit lost here so I do thank you for your time!

My mother-in-law arrived on September 11, 2024, with an annotation on her visa stating "Class B Req. Attn. of USPHS at POE." However, she had no problems passing through customs at the US airport. She was previously treated for TB in her home country but was cleared and successfully completed her immigration interview. The county health clinic has contacted her to schedule an appointment, likely due to the annotation on her visa. She has not yet received her green card, and there is no update on its processing only that the fee has been paid. Could the delay in receiving her green card be related to her not yet seeing the health clinic here in the US? I would appreciate any insights. Thank you!

I ve been a US permanent resident for about 17 years, and live in California.

1) Can you please share how long did the process of becoming a US citizen take you since the moment you filed the application online until you got your interview, and then took the oath?

2. What documentation did you have to take to your interview? (Tax documents, marriage documents, etc.)

thank you so much in advance
