Congrats! I'd take spouse to interview for sure and leave the kid with a nanny. You don't want a stokes interview. Good luck!

You can leave them blank. Can you give an example?

Many countries passports don't include middle names. Not a big issue.

No, for biometrics only beneciary is expected to attend. Aloha!

Keep us updated! You should get the interview soon. Mine was 1 month after 5 year anniversary of being LPR

There's this blonde lady (Legally Blonde lol?) on YouTube, not sharing her channel name here. She does a good job going through questions. But there's few questions which depend on where you live, like naming your representative etc. Make sure you study those too!

You celebrate?

11.8M is not much. I think it's to weed out people who are not serious

Strange. I had same day ceremony and I still had paper with checkbox given to me after interview

There's also official PDF: https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/find-study-materials-and-resources/study-for-the-test

IMHO the test is pretty simple and there's tons of YouTube videos preparing you for test. Better luck next try!

Nothing fundamentally changed in your case. MyProgress estimates for case completion mean nothing. On day of my oath, MyProgress showed 3 weeks until decision.

You get all missing vaccines at once, whatever is age appropriate

This is the most expensive and inconvenient option. Why go this route? Most of the times getting vaccines in the US costs substantially more. Plus many civil surgeons will demand doing the whole exam in the US costing sometimes as much as $500-800 out of pocket

Yes, you can do you blood test for many and bring results to civil surgeon. However, it may be more expensive than getting vaccine itself again. Most of vaccines are safe to get again if you don't have records. If you already have immunity, vaccine won't do anything, because your body knows how to handle the virus. Vaccines typically have deactivated virus that is not harmful anyway. Many vaccines won't be given to you after certain age. Civil surgeon can analyse it on spot and give you everything necessary on the day of exam.

Just upload evidence online. It may or may not be considered, but doesn't hurt

You got everything and more. Just don't forget to bring your smile for the photo picturing the great moment!

It's still September though?

Congrats!

We can find many reasons why people who theoretically can qualify using I-864 get issues using them in practice. Subjectively, by observing VJ posts for a while I can conclude that pursuing joint sponsor may be a path of least resistance, otherwise we wouldn't see this many posts of applicants struggling with I-864 when using assets. We can give a green light to somebody who appears to qualify to only find later they lost 3-6 months dealing with RFEs or NOIDs based on intricate technicalities. Adjudicators selectively close eyes in one set of cases and are super maticulous in other cases when it comes to using assets. When something works half of the time, my recommendation is to pick something more robust. In marriage, we can choose the other half. We can date, chat, live together and learn about the person before committing. We cannot pick adjudicator who decides whether I-864 with assets is accepted, so I wouldn't compare it

Congrats!

Everything is technically allowed, even filing I-864 with 0 income and no assets. But why would anybody do it. Same with primary residence

Example with assets:

Agreed, assets is a hit or miss
