thank you thanks - makes sense -

I have 2 more questions about the N-400 The SSA question - to notifiy the SSA or not. The wording on the instructions confused us - its just a notification correct? We don't want a new number. The workplace question - they have a limited amount of options for workplace(other than work unknown) and we picked the one that seemed to fit best. He's a CNA/Med Tech and we put Healthcare Technician... I guess that makes sense judging from what Google says... I think.

We are filing online - it asks online. It has a box to check if you don't have or know your OAN number (online account number)
-
In the midst of filling out the application online. We've got an online account but can't find the OAN. He's only done a change of address online through his account but I don't believe he received an email for that, that we can find. Do we have one and don't know it or do we just say that we don't know it? Thanks

His should be pretty simple, due to my own overthinking I thought it wise to pay for a consultation with a lawyer. In reality his case is very simple. We haven't been out of the country since 2019, havent moved, he's had the same job... we're pretty borring. However I know myself so I thought it best to talk to someone beforehand. I made the apt but I am not sure we will keep it. The annoyance of the wait might push me to just forgo the lawyer. Or find another one if the wait is truly excessive. I don't know maybe its normal...

I am an overthinker... Lets just preface with that one. My husband would like to just apply for the N-400 and not be bothered with an attorney However, I had some specific questions that I just wanted to go over with an attorney so we agreed to find a lawyer and do a consultation. Finding an attorney proved to be a frustrating process - yes there is the database I can look up, however I was hoping for a referral. I got a few referrals, however none of them worked in naturalization. I finally found someone, emailed her - liked how she responded in the email (personality etc) and called today for an apt. 6 weeks would be her next available apt for a consultation which seems like such a long time away and now I am questioning if this is even worth it, if I can put some of my overthinking to sleep and we can move forward without it. My husband's case is pretty simple. I was hoping to have put in the application before then. Is 6 weeks excessively long (i've consulted with a different type of attorney previously and I was able to talk with them right away)? Also if anyone has worked with an attorney in the greater Philadelphia (pennsylvania) area who works in Naturalization and you liked your lawyer - let me know Thank you

Ok so no 'Just Answer' Has anyone talked to an immigration lawyer ? Is there any paid online service where you can talk to an immigration lawyer or do immigration lawyers do paid consultations? I don't need them filling out the form or submitting it, I would just like to verify a few things.
-
With that being said - am I overthinking about the traffic incident AND the secondary inspection - do they need to be mentioned on the application? Thankfully its not ME who is doing the interview its my husband and he is cool as a cucumber with all of this.
-
So not detained - but would it be 'confined' ? Does anyone think we need to include the secondary inspection? Does anyone think we need to include the traffic incident and go to my insurance company to get the old letter?
-
Thank you so much - I really want to cry right now and my overthinking is in overdrive.
-
Whoops, I apologize - my brain is in several different tabs. Do you know how to delete threads?

Pertaining to 'have you ever been detained' Question. What is the definition of 'detained'? We were traveling back from visiting family, my husband was in the midst of getting his conditions lifted from his green card and we were traveling with his extension letter. At our first port of entry back in the USA the immigration officer pulled him aside to verify the letter. I was in the hall waiting - he was in the office. They asked him a few questions and sent him on his way. The question reads in section 9. 15b. Have you EVER been arrested, cited, detained or confined by any law enforcement officer, military offical (in the us or elsewhere) or immigration offical for any reason, or been charged with a crime or offense? Does our situation match the definition of 'detained' or 'confined'? We didn't get any type of receipt so I wasn't sure how to answer any of the boxes provided for more information. No crime was committed - they pulled him aside to verify his extension letter.
-
Yes - I guess I got hung up on the 'seriously injured' part. I don't think she was seriously injured but i'm not sure how they are defining 'seriously injured' . At this point I can call my insurance company to get a copy of the letter they sent us in 2017 (I am only guessing it was 2017 I can not remember), if they have record of that. I don't know how long they keep records -do you think this is necessary or overkill? The other person did NOT continue to pursue anything with my insurance company (to my understanding) There is no police record of this whatsoever.
-
Also - has anyone used 'Just answer' to ask immigration questions?
-
Now I'm confusing myself - i'm referencing the instructions in part 9.... on the actual form N-400 there isn't ANYTHING that lists traffic incidents. I do have another question - in part 9. 15b - detained for any reason? Once we were stopped at the first port of entry coming back from visiting family out of the country - We were waiting for his conditions to be lifted and we were traveling with his extension letter. They pulled him aside to verify his letter and ask him some questions. Once verified we went on our way and continued back home without incident. Does that count as 'being detained'? i'm unsure how to then fill out the questions ' what was the crime or offense' no crime - they just wanted to verify his letter of extension. This was years ago... maybe 2017. It looks like we would say 'yes' he was pulled aside by an immigration official to review his extension letter - My issue is, in the area to give more information is all says 'what was the crime or offense' date of the crime or offense, date of conviction, place of crime or offense. No crime... no offense... they just wanted to verify his extension letter. I'm sure I have his extension letter to verify the year but I would have to dig for it
