US Immigration from Sweden

Hi everyone,

I filed my application on August 25th but have no idea what date it was delivered as my tracking number never updated to "delivered", just "Arrived at post office". I spoke with the PO Box supervisor and they could not find my package in the delivery room so she said that it was more than likely delivered without a scan, sigh.

My question is, it has been almost 3 weeks since it was likely delivered and I have yet too see any charge on my card or recieved any notification from USCIS. I spoke with a live agent today and they could not find any record of my application in their system. Is it possible that they have recieved it and just did not get to processing mine yet? Would my application show up in their system even if they did not charge my card yet or is it not showing up in their system because they just haven't processed it yet?

I have no idea what to do as I cannot confirm that it was delievered on either side and i'm getting nervous as I do not know how long I should wait before I get concerned as I know that it is taking a while for a lot of people to get any notification currently.

Hello,

my wife is in the process of becoming a US citizen (she will have an interview next month). Her son (my stepson and 7 years old) is here with us as well with a Green Card (currently with pending I751) since 2018. Once my wife naturalizes, that would also mean (based on The Child Citizenship Act of 2000) our son also becomes a US citizen. Once this happens we would like to apply for a passport (as well as a N600) but it is little bit confusing on what documents to provide. From travel.gov homepage about passports I found this:

U.S. Citizenship through Naturalization of a Parent

If you were born outside the United States and acquired U.S. citizenship through the naturalization of your parent(s), please submit the following with your passport application:

1. Your foreign birth certificate listing your parent(s)
2. Your parent(s) naturalization certificate
3. Evidence of your permanent residence status. Examples include:
   • Permanent Resident Card/Green Card
   • Foreign passport with the original I-551 visa entry stamp
4. Your parents' marriage certificate (if your parents were married when you legally entered the U.S. and before your 18th birthday)
5. Documentation of legal custody (if your parents were not married when you legally entered the U.S.)
6. Evidence of your legitimation (if your parents were not married at the time of your birth). Examples include:
   • Your parents' marriage certificate dated after your birth
   • Certified court order of legitimation

1, 2 and 3 understood.

4 - Are we talking about the biological parents or is this my marriage to his biological mother. My wife never married the biological father. My guess it is the marriage certificate between biological parents, and therefore we would/could not provide this.

5. My wife have a Thai court order showing that she has the full custody of our son. This was the same court order that we had to submit for the green card application.

6. This one is the most confusing one. Not sure what this is and what needs to be provided. Is it required if citizenship is derived through the mother? I read somewhere that this is only required if citizenship is derived through the father. But I might be wrong.

This is what we would like to send:

1. Birth certificate, Name change documents (he changed name in Thailand). Documents sent both in Thai and English.

2. His mother naturalization certificate.

3. Send his expired Green Card with the extension letter.

4. Not sure. I guess not applicable to our case.

5. Legal custody court order from Thai court with English translation.

6. Not applicable to us.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards

Hi everyone.

I have a serious concern. I applied for citizenship late August of this year and found out shortly after that a very close relative is sick/dying so I will have to travel to my country for maybe 2 months at a time next month . I am seriously concerned about my relative and this citizenship application, this year can go to hell as far as I'm concerned

Does anyone have/have had a similar occasion ,hopefully not sick relative,but having to travel for an extensive time several times within a year?

Thank you in advance.

I have a question.

I filed my AOS on August 25th and it was delivered on the 28th (I assume, but they did not update the tracking to delivered but I heard that its not that uncommon for them to do that.)

If they for some reason reject all of it and I receive it back after Oct 2nd. What would the new fees actually be for the I-131 and I-765? If I'm looking at it, it will be over an $1000 increase so it would be almost $2760 with the I-130 and I-485 (around that number) for all of it???

Just looking for some clarification.
