N-400 May 2024 Filers
jg121783 replied to EandS2019's topic in US Citizenship Case Filing and Progress Reports
My wife's oath ceremony was just scheduled for December 16th at the same location in Milwaukee where she had her interview. Does anyone know if anyone will be allowed in to watch the ceremony? They would not let me in when she had her interview. -

My question is do we have to file the n600 before he is 18 or does my wife just have to take her oath before he is 18? -

My wife had her interview in Milwaukee today. It was also quick for her. She is also waiting for her oath to be scheduled. -
N-400 May 2024 Filers

My wife had her interview today. Milwaukee office. 5 year rule. They asked her a couple questions about the N400 form. Mostly about her speeding ticket (dates, was the fine paid, ect) but there was some confusion about where we got married. He thought we got married in Wisconsin for some reason but we got married in the Philippines (even though we submitted our marriage certificate with the N400). Once my wife cleared that up he moved on. She took the civics test and passed then the interviewer told her he could tell her English was good so she didn't have to do the reading or writing part. Then she was told she passed and an appointment letter for the oath would be in the mail in a week or two. My wife was so worried and studying and memorizing every detail of her N400 form. She even memorized the answers to all 100 civics questions. Then it turned out to be a brief interview. One question. My step son is almost 18 and my wife should compete her oath well before then. What is the next step for his naturalization? -

She passed. She has to go back for the oath. She said besides the civics questions they only asked a couple questions about the N400. The interviewer didn't make her do the reading and writing because he said he could tell her English is good. -

Wife has N400 interview today - Questions

That part I'm not concerned about. Just wondering if she has to memorize all the dates we moved to different addresses, employment dates, date of her speeding ticket, ect. -

She is ready for that part. Every time I quiz her she gets all 100 correct. I'm just wondering what else she will be asked. -
My wife has her interview today (Milwaukee office) under the 5 year rule and I wanted to make sure she is bringing all the documents she needs and is fully prepared. Here is a list of what she is bringing: -Interview letter -Green card -Drivers license -birth certificates for her, me and all of our kids (submitted with N400) -Current lease (we moved recently and our current address isn't on her N400 that she submitted in May) -passport -marriage certificate (not sure if this is needed for 5 year rule but we submitted it with her N400) Does she need to bring anything else? I have a few questions about the interview its self. Besides the civics test questions what other questions will they be asking her? We have seen some practice interviews on YouTube that go through every question on the N400. Are they really gonna ask her every question that is on the N400? One other issue. We moved in September and forgot to update our address with USCIS until a couple weeks ago. I have talked to some people about this including a couple attorneys who told me it shouldn't be a big deal. If they ask her about this during the interview what should she say? Is simply telling the truth and saying she forgot gonna be a sufficient answer?

Forgot to change address with USCIS after moving
jg121783 replied to jg121783's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
I read that part on some immigration attorneys website that I found on Google. Maybe it was fear mongering to get people to hire them. -
We filed my wife's N400 back in May. We moved in September and forgot to update her address with USCIS. Now she has an interview November 13th. We went online and changed her address through the form USCIS provides as soon as we realized this. I was concerned this might affect her naturalization. Now I am reading not updating your address within 10 days of moving could be grounds for deportation. How worried should we be about this and what should we do. Should we hire an attorney?

#1 Will they hold the fact that she didn't do the change of address in time against her as far as naturalization goes? If they ask her about it at the interview is simply telling the truth that we forgot gonna be an adequate answer? #2 The landlord of the previous property sold it and I don't know how to get into contact with the new owner. Will a printed version of the interview letter be good enough? #3 We will both do this ASAP. #4 The new address is only a few blocks away from the old address so I think it would be the same jurisdiction. -

My wife just had her interview scheduled today for November 13th. Milwaukee field office. Got a question. We moved about a month ago and forgot to give USCIS our new address. Their website says you must notify them within 10 days of moving. How should we handle this? I'm assuming the interview notice will be mailed to our old address. If we do not receive it is a printout of the pdf adequate to take to the interview? -

My wife was also hoping to have this done in time to vote. Whats more important is my step son will be turning 18 and we want to have it done before then so he doesn't have to go through the whole process himself. -

How many May filers here are still waiting for an interview? My wife filed May 6th (assuming it will be in Milwaukee) and she still doesn't have an interview date (received biometric reuse the day after filing). Filed under the 5 year rule. Should we be contacting someone to get the process moving along here? -
We filed my wifes N400 on May 6th and up until yesterday my wifes online account showed the N400 with a receipt notice and a biometric reuse notice. Yesterday we logged in to check for updates and my wifes N400 is completely gone with her I-751 we filed a few years ago still remaining. It is still gone today. Is anyone else experiencing this problem and what should we do about this?

My wife just filed her N400 and we are looking ahead to possibly bringing her parents to the US after she becomes a citizen. I have a few questions about this. First of all she will be eligible to petition for them after she becomes a citizen correct? It is my understanding my wife would file an I-130 for them. Is the process similar to applying for a spousal visa? It appears as far as documents go they would need birth certificates and a marriage certificate (along with my wifes birth certificate and naturalization certificate)? Is anything else needed? We would like to have her parents start gathering the needed documents now. Are the processing times for this type of visa similar to a spousal visa or does it take longer? My wife has a 17 year old brother. It is my understanding that after her parents become permanent residents they can petition for him. Is this correct? Would he have to be under 21 at the time they petition for him? We would like to petition for my wifes parents as soon as she becomes a citizen so were trying to get all of our ducks in a row right now.

We also filed my wifes N400 yesterday online (under the 5 year rule) and immediately got the receipt notice and biometrics reuse notice. I believe her case will be processed in Milwaukee as that is where her I-751 was processed. -
Questions about online N400
jg121783 replied to jg121783's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
As far as my wifes speeding ticket goes will a printout from the Wisconsin circuit court website showing the details of the case and showing that the fine was paid be sufficient for now or will this result in an RFE requesting certified court records? The courthouse that I would have to go to to get certified records is not close to where we live and I dont think I'm gonna be able to make it there this week. But we want to get the N400 submitted as soon as possible. Should we just submit a printout then have my wife take the certified records to her interview? -

You should have seen what we sent in for the I-130. We way overdid it but at least we were confident we didnt ommit anything. -

One more question. My wife and I traveled outside the US for about a month last year which I documented on the form. Do I need to submit any evidence of this?
