A233465

Thank you, I am a maniac this week - I got all stressed out just now because I almost filled out the form incorrectly (effective date of change of address - I am so tired I almost put today but thankfully I always download and read the accompanying instructions) - Then I freaked myself out wondering if we put the wrong date when my husband filled out his AR-11 but I just checked the actual form and they don't have an effective date so there is no way we filled that one out incorrectly. There aren't even instructions and its basically impossible to mess up . Just a rough rough week, I obviously want to make sure things are going smoothly with naturalization.

So I'm the spouse - husband is studying for naturalization. I don't know how I didn't know about the I-865 as his sponsor. I feel like an idiot. Since we've been married we moved 2x - one of those times bought a house...etc. Never filled out an 865. I'm assuming I should just fill it out now. Any repercussions for forgetting? I feel like i'm going to be sick.

We will probably file online. He's been studying for his civics test and wanted to wait until he's 90% there , he's very close to it so he will probably apply in the next few weeks. I just downloaded the instructions for filling out the form and we are both physically (and mentally) gathering docs. Thank you for your advice - I was thinking that the general provision makes the most sense - spousal seemed to be hinged to being here for 3 years and its been like 11 at this point!

we found it!

My husband is preparing to apply for naturalization and we are gathering necessary documents. We can't find his old passport, his new one was issued in 2023. He hasn't been out of the country since 2019 to visit family but without the passport how do we prove that? We don't think he threw it away - so we're still looking but its a puzzle. In that time we've bought a house and have continuous tax docs (And he has been at the same job since 2014). How crucial is it to find the expired passport and what would we do if we can't find it?
