  1. Your son is subject to public charge and is in the U.S. on an F-1 visa? I would wait for the I-485 receipt and then send unsolicited evidence correcting the I-485.
  2. At the interview show the CO your: * passport * birth certificate * NVC letter and explain your name is incorrect in the NVC letter and that you need your visa to match your name in your passport.
  3. I can read it all. What can you not read?
  4. Not ideal. Why aren’t these in a U.S. bank? You need a different joint sponsor.
  5. Only new name. My understanding is your children’s names will not change automatically when you naturalize.
  6. Yes they do You are mixing different things. A 16 year old does not need permission to get a U.S. passport. But if a derived citizenship, he does need to prove he was in the legal and physical custody of his naturalized parent.
  7. Not possible. You go to SSA with it. You leave SSA with it. sometimes If the court knows what is doing.
  8. Sounds like you should get your passports after your SS cards and DLs are updated. Are you up to speed on the separate change of name document that the court has to issue?
  9. I do not believe I suggested you could. Unfortunately this is not always true. A minority of derived citizens who do not have certificates of citizenship encounter problems like: * getting a U.S. security clearance * becoming an officer in the U.S. armed forces * being assigned certain roles in the U.S. armed forces * getting a drivers license or state ID * registering to vote * getting a new or replacement social security card * getting social security benefits * petitioning a relative for an immigration benefit * replacing a damaged or lost U.S. passport * obtaining a U.S. passport for their own children who were not born in the U.S. * registering to vote * being ineligible to renew a passport due to criminal record, child support lapses, losing passports too often, no fly list, etc. Lest others chime in and say they had no problem with the above, I say congrats and welcome to the majority. Tragically derived citizens tend run into these issues long after their parents have passed and/or lost naturalization certificates and other critical evidence. Some end up living in the shadows of American Society: no job, no home, and in fear. CCA 2000 has done evil things to at least tens of thousands of Americans, and USCIS is to blame for not educating naturalized citizens on these issues. Fortunately, on visa journey we are educated.
  10. Citizenship of children of naturalized parents To get your child a U.S. passport you need to have evidence that the child: is your child lives with you is in your legal custody has LPR status you are a U.S. citizen the above all happened before the child reached age 18 IMO there these are facts: the longer a parent waits to secure a U.S. citizenship document for the child, the harder it becomes to prove the child is. U.S. citizen. It actually becomes exponentially harder because evidence, like radioactivity of isotopes has a half life. It’s actually the law of physics: order tends to disorder aka the Law of Entropy you get exactly one chance to file N-600. Often when parents decide to try N-600 first, they get RFE for evidence. The parent doesn’t know how to respond to RFE, and the case is denied. Forever. Whereas if the passport acceptance agent is half way competent the agent won’t accept the application with incomplete evidence. whereas you can try as many times as you want to get a passport passports get lost and replacing a passport without a certificate of citizenship is hard. Replacing a passport when you have a passport card is easy.
  11. Every U.S. passport holder has to gill out DS-11 at least once. Application for certificate of citizenship Not always. It does. That is the law. When you apply for their passports provide proof: * their GCs * your certificate of naturalization * legal and physical custody evidence * their birth certificates
  12. They might or might not become citizens when you take oath. This will be determined by an adjudicator at: 1. the U.S. passport agency who will look at the evidence in their DS-11s and rule whether the children became citizens. If affirmative, passports will be issued. The GCs might be retained by the passport agency or returned. 2. USCIS who will look at the evidence in their N-600s and rule whether the children became citizens. If affirmative, certificates of citizenship will be issued. The GCs will be retained by USCIS. If you decide to do step 1 before step 2, the longer you wait between steps 1 and 2, the more likely the passport agency and USCIS will make different rulings. This is because, evidence, like radioactive isotopes, decays at an exponential rate. Step 1 can be attempted multiple times. Step 2 can be attempted just once. For this reason, step 2 should not be attempted until step 1 succeeds.
  13. The day the card is delivered will be tense, like an episode of 24. I hope we get updates every hour.
  14. The only USCIS form you should send is I-129F. Read all the K-1 materials linked from https://www.visajourney.com/guides/ Guides if you are engaged: ----- K1 Fiance Visa Guide ----- K1 Flowchart ----- K1 Fiance Visa Tips Why aren’t you going the CR-1 route?
  15. Are these assets at U.S. financial institutions and denominated in U.S. dollars? 1. She is still married. So enter 1 for her spouse 2. I would get a new one, especially because of 3 3. 2022 tax transcript is needed. You need a new I-864 from her.
  16. Your first U.S. passport would have required an in person visit to passport acceptance agent such as usps office, or at a US passport agency office.
