  1. Not a big deal. Bring an errata sheet to interview and give to officer before interview starts.
  2. Awesome! I always oppose those saying "N-400 is the easiest part". It is the most important part. Congrats on passing it! Make sure to get large passport book (free upgrade) and update status with SSA after naturalizing
  3. 90 day early filing only works if you meet other conditions before filing such as living in jurisdiction for 3 months, living in marital union for 3+ years, enough physical presence etc
  4. You are right, I am always very optimistic with my estimates
  5. Here is February 2026 visa bulletin https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2026/visa-bulletin-for-february-2026.html Looks like right now they are processing cases filed in November 2016. So I guess at least 10 years, more likely 15+, unless they are from Mexico or Philippines, those will take over 20 years
  6. Congrats! Make sure to get large passport book (free upgrade) and update status with SSA
  7. MM/YYYY: January 2026 Location: California, US Business / organization: Airport Check type: Identity verification Reason: TSA Result: Success Details: Used to go through TSA when flying to different state. I don't remember the details, it was a breeze. Accepted without a question.
  8. This is normal. Did you ask related question few months back here? If yes, you were advised his ties were not sufficient. See this https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/831464-we-want-our-nephew-to-visit-us/?do=findComment&comment=11069753 Sorry if not you, it just sounds like exact same case.
  9. I noticed whenever events occur on same day, statuses are not sorted in chronological order. These are sorted in alphabetical order (first status starts with letter C, last with W) My statuses for N-400 were also out of order chronological. Same happened with I-751, the card was produced after it was sent There is nothing to worry about here
  10. The drive through ceremonies during COVID must have been fun too
  11. Yes, unlike I-751 receipt or approval letter, or N-400 receipt letter, the biometrics appointment letter is printed in black and white on normal paper, just like you can print yourself
  12. Gread ID, I have an entire thread about my experiences using it. Need to update it, as I used it like dozen times from my last post, as recent as this morning
  13. Sometimes case status is out of date. People naturalize and see this status afterwards
  14. Congrats! I hope you applied for large passport book (free upgrade). Also, don't forget to update citizenship status with SSA at some point
  15. DOS and USCIS don't exist in isolation. They work towards common goal. And it if it involves checking / asking simular docs or questions, so be it. I am not suprised by birth certificate for visa interview at all. That's all I know.
  16. The whole immigration system is set up such way that agencies cross check each other's findings and revalidate everything through multiple interviews. Nothing is ever set in stone. This is why DOS sometimes revokes previously approved cases by USCIS. Are we going to debate that? USCIS is known to revert their own decisions later in immigration process sometimes too. So it doesn't hurt for DOS triple check the beneciary is eligible for immigrant visa.

  17. Pretty normal, consular officer must ensure petitioner is really USC
  18. This visa transition is pretty similar to transition from J-1, B-2, H1-B etc.
  19. Pretty normal. Case processing does not depend on it. It never showed good estimate anyway
  20. Hopefully, you are sorted. Yes, there is a way to check it. Essentially, if you can initiate replacing SS card online from their website, it would allow only if you are registered as a citizen with SSA. You don't have to complete the request, just initiate to see if error comes up. It is normal to see error for few days or weeks, until they update status on their end.
