    Well he'll have to find someone else.

    All he needs to do is find a qualified co-sponsor.

    IMHO and with all due respect, he asked for immigration advice. I don't recall he ever asked for financial advice. That's none of our business.

    Strongly consider getting married and doing a CR-1 instead.

    Will the photo taken at biometrics be the photo used on the Naturalization Certificate?
  6. JD2
    Oh ok so everyone gets NBC

    What service center did y'all get? I know it will go to our local field office eventually, but my spouse's biometrics notice lists NBC as the Service Center. We never got a Receipt Notice on myUSCIS but I'm assuming it will also say National Benefits Center when it comes in the mail.

    Well I spoke too soon. Moments later we got an email notification, checked myUSCIS and saw the biometrics appointment letter. Feb. 17th.

    So my paper filing is definitely slower.

    The instructions are pretty clear: 3 years tax transcripts, 1 month of paystubs, and most recent W-2 for everyone in the household.

    I believe USCIS only accepts DNA testing from AABB-accredited labs. Usually, they ask for DNA results to confirm parent child relationship. But, I would wait until they ask you for it. Give them what they asked for.

    I thought they don't accept checks anymore? A colleague of mine paper filed for fee reduction last year and it took several weeks for them to cash her money order and send the NOA1. I suspect they adjudicate the fee reduction right off the bat?

    When the caller said something along the lines of "but the marriage was legal in Syria and at that time I had no connection to US," I feel like Jim failed to tell him that the marriage must be legal in both the home country and the destination US state.

    Paper filed. Delivered Jan. 18th. Got email today. Logged into myUSCIS and it says NOA1 Jan. 20th.

    that's what "or" means. Only send transcripts. The rest will add unnecessary bulk to the filing. File as soon as you can. You can take your new tax return transcript to the interview We filed by paper since it was easier for us to print than format PDFs but you get your NOA1 faster online. No idea if overall it is faster or slower as not many people file by paper anymore so not many experiences to go by

    well if it did, then something is wrong. The checklist on the VFS website says "Endorsement of name change during the naturalization process" is an acceptable name change proof, as is a court order, which you can get if you did the oath at the court. There's something missing here.

    you also need the renunciation certificate to apply for an OCI, which you should do. So the name change affidavit does not show XZ to XYZ? Or it does?
  19. JD2
    You may need a physical copy at the interview. Either an actual one or printed out digital one.
  20. JD2
    I would try

    Just checking in here. We got approved freakishly fast and now we are filing N-400. Anyone else get approved? Have y'all filed N-400 yet?
  22. JD2
    By pure chance, we were unable to file as my wife had to rush abroad (ill mother). Looks like we lucked out as there's a new policy requiring biometrics for all N-400 if I am reading that right. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/policy-manual-updates/20251212-PhotographReuse.pdf

    My wife traveled tons. But after DQ and before Interview she actually accumulated 6 months in Dubai. But, I had her preemptively get a PCC from Dubai and bring it to interview. They made her leave the consulate, upload the PCC, update the DS-260, then come back (and only gave her limited time to do all of that). So just watch your time in a given country to see if you need a PCC.
  24. JD2
    I told you

    Take ALL processing times, here or USCIS website or any other website, with a big grain of salt.
