    Certified copy is all you need. County clerk typically has the original.

    Same estimate said 3 weeks until decision for me on day of my oath. Same estimate said 7 months until decision on day @Edward and Jaycel had EAD in hand. Back in the days my EAD took 5.5 months and it was the norm

    One month approvals? These must be rare cases. EADs take 6-9 months easily

    Again, opinions may vary on this. People around me consider me successful. I naturalized recently. For both AOS and N-400 I used lawyer. Because I can afford it. I could complete all the forms myself and represent myself at interviews. But I don't think lawyer is a bad idea, if one has means to pay for a quality service. Joint Sponsor is a definitely easy way out. Why fight the current if you can win on first try?

    @Larry and Marides instead of going back and forth in this thread, can you please try helping the person in this thread who struggled using assets and now got I-485 denial? Peace

    The reason asset related threads exist is because consular officers routinely reject assets. If you had a positive experience - great, but I wouldn't interpolate it on everybody. Joint sponsor is the most reliable and efficient way of getting I-864 resolved whether you like it or not. Majority of lawyers also recommend going this path.

    I would disagree with this statement.

    If you list her and she's not household member, your I-864 will be rejected again. She's a household member if she claims your spouse as a dependent.

    No timeline or estimate is accurate

    Joint sponsors file I-864

    Not unusual. Sometimes EAD takes 6-8 months or GC gets approved first

    Why are you only addressing this now, 11 years later?

    Amend taxes

    If form was filed online, upload photos. If form was filed by paper, you can do either. Either way, scan your photos, put in Word document. Put caption under each photo: Date, location, occasion, full names of people from left to right and their relation to each other. Best photos are not just of a couple, but with friends and family.

    I certainly save all digital statements. But also, until very recently, had all paper statements delivered and stored in a box. This saved money on printing, as many typically complain about having to print evidence for I-751 / N-400

    Great to see you're planning ahead. Good luck!

    US State Department doesn't control other countries borders. They know when you left the US and what flight you took. But they can't prove you entered a country. Stamps issued by other countries typically confirm your entry into their country. You can take a flight to country A, and book a separate flight from country A to country B. Unless you provide stamp, DOS will have limited knowledge of your full itenary.

    No, not needed. Your photo will be taken as you check in for the interview. I believe people naturalizing under military programms may need it. Also, if place offers applying for passport on spot, it may be needed if you have same day ceremony. My field office had same day oath, but applying for passport wasn't available there.

    Work or unemployment is not an issue for I-751. Paying taxes IS however important for successful for naturalization. Even if restaurant doesn't report your taxes, you must report any income to IRS. Evading taxes is a big no.

    Things like when you filed?

    Both minor unmarried children and spouse of LPR are F2A. So no difference overall. Each case is individual though

    You will be required to write a sentence on tablet either using stylus or finger (your choice). There's nothing you need to bring for this. Here's my recent experience: Bear in mind though, my was N-400 under general provision. You interview may be more focused on marriage.
  23. OldUser
    Yes
  24. OldUser
    2 - not needed 4 - only joint account statements are useful

    Don't forget embassies are now scaling down as we speak. With fewer staff, I'd be ready for 17 months morally. If it comes faster, that's a great bonus.
