US Immigration from France

Hi,

I recently received the notice to appear at the green card interview (it has been under "ready to schedule an interview" for over a year now).

My wife and I have a decent amount of money saved, and I am currently working (EAD) and making more than enough to meet the poverty threshold for the affidavit of support. The thing is, my wife (sponsor) has been out of a job since the end of last year (for personal reasons: online school enrollment and others). So on the first version of the affidavit we provided she was the provider, and she can also provide proof of meeting the threshold basically for all 2020. As for 2021, I am the sole source of income of the household.

Will this be an issue for the interview? Do I need to find a co-sponsor? Or are our bank statements + my pay stubs enough? Or do they only care about the initial affidavit of support?

I am not sure this will even be an issue / looked at but as I am the applicant and she is the sponsor, I am not sure I can be the one used for the source of income. I couldn't find any clear documentation about this online.

Thank you!

Does anyone know the average N400 processing time for the Portland office?

Hello my friends, I need help answering few questions please. I have a cousin who is a US citizen and she married her fiance who has a student visa. Can she apply for I 130 to keep him here in the US with her or will they send him back where he came from so she can apply for him? Can he stay here after he finishes his education and live with her? I do appreciate all the help I can get. Thank you for time.

Hello,

Hello fellow VJ-ers,

What has been your experience re. the return of your Naturalization Certificate after applying for a passport?

- does the Passport Acceptance Facility staple it to the application and all the other application support documents?

- does the Passport Agency return the original Certificate in a full Letter envelope or do they fold it in two?

I am asking because my experience for applying for my younger son's passport, his original Birth Certificate was returned folded in a half-Letter size envelope.

Once I am naturalized (hopefully at the end of the month), I am wondering if I can provide a prepaid self-addressed FedEx envelope along with a rigid document holder for the return of the Certificate.

Has anyone tried? Is it even possible (maybe not at a USPS Acceptance Facility, but a a regular Passport Agency)?

Thanks for your feedback.
