    Congrats! Thank you for the detailed report. I think the scrutiny was natural - switching from traditional marriage to same sex marriage. Adjustment right outside the 90 day window (which isn't a thing) but can make it look as if you waited deliberately to file soon after 90 days. Either way, I-130 approval is big. Celebrate it!

    Add Metro to this list?

    But it won't change the answers? 22A still be "Yes" meaning he'll have to explain why didn't register even if he files at 31

    Fear mongering. Unlawful and probably unconsitutional. Ain't going to happen any time soon. This would not benefit the US and I haven't heard any proposals. US citizens must report (and many times pay) taxes on world wide income. This would cut off this tax revenue for the US, as many would choose to renounce their citizenship if they couldn't get a passport

    But many aren't happy even with current fees, let alone higher potential fees. There is no ideal solution: 1) Keep everything as is - backlogs 2) Get supplemental / full funding from Congress - USCIS will be affected more by government shutdowns and political games 3) Increase fees - many complain about current fees 4) Introduce premium processing - many will complain about rich buying faster processing and inequality

    Amazing! Congratulations! Most of the times they don't, but when they do it's good to be prepared which you were

    Follow the instructions in N-400. Your plan sounds good, submit explanation saying you checked the relevant box on I-485 etc. Say if you knew it didn't register you, you would have done it since you are ready to bear arms and defend the US if needed (as per oath) etc. Include SIL. Include evidence of good moral character. And hopefully officer will understand and let you naturalize. Keep us posted.

    Right, so you were required to register. Supposedly, this should have been handled by check box on I-485. Can you check your registration on https://www.sss.gov/verify/ ? When you enter your details, what does it say? If it comes back saying you're not registered, I have a suggestion. But please come back with result of check here.

    Hi @Matt19019 Hopefully, naturalization. Naturalisation is for folks seeking British or Australian citizenship. Check the Resident Since date on your green card. If you were 26 or older on this date, then you never needed to register for selective service. So if you were 26 or older on the Resident Since date, then answer for 22.a is NO and this means questions 22.b, 22.c don't apply, e.g. can be skipped. On the other hand, if you were 25 on Resident Since date, then you need to explain why you didn't register (if you didn't).

    Seems fishy. Is the overall plan to get granchild US citizenship and passport without intention of actually living here? E.g. once child gets the passport, she would go back to China? If so, you'll get some roadblocks on your way.

    Looks like spam

    @Beeptweet using immigrant visa / GC like visitors visa will inevitably lead to complications in your immigration history, potentially losing status and potentially losing ability to come to the US easily on ESTA when you get Australian citizenship. But I guess no matter what we say here, you already made up your mind and going to stick to a plan. I can't add anything else here other than wishing good luck!

    Months, years I'd say

    She can only qualify if she has issues already AND if she has a history of this for some time documented by medical professionals. The bar for this is high. Hypotetical issues do not qualify for N-648.

    So no moment when you were overseas and spouse was in the US? Just making sure. I was asked this question even though I applied under 5 year rule.

    Marital union is a big one. You must be living with US citizen spouse in marital union for over 3 years at time of filing N-400. Yes, you were married for 4 years, but did you live separately at any point in the last 3 years due to you being overseas and spouse being in the US? Some officers interpret marital union very strictly, denying such cases if filed within 90 day early filing window. If you file at 3 year anniversary of living in the US, that usually gives no chance to deny your case on this requirement.

    From what I remember, website also says you should also meet all other requirements. The website message is not legally binding. Good luck!

    Hopefully you won't be asked any of that. But nobody can guarantee or predict it for sure. Good luck!

    I wouldn't file on the first day of eligibility. Also, on 10/25 would you be married for 3+ years living together in marital union or under 3 years? 90 day early filing window applies to requirement for being LPR for 3 years but not requirement to be married for 3 years.

    US citizens must file taxes on their world wide income. Additionally, they are subject to FBAR and must report any money over $10000 in their foreign accounts.

    Your entire immigration history can be reviewed during interview. Not necessarily will, but can be.
  23. OldUser
    Welcome! Are you filing under 3 or 5 year rule. Within 90 day early filing window? Is 10/25 the first day you become eligible?

    PDFs from IRS or printed copies of these PDFs is good.

    Return Transcript is the only transcript USCIS / DOS are interested in
