    Yes, not new. Not really. I can bet money if you file online today and pay the full fee, it will sail through. The difficulties begin with reduced fees, waivers, things filed not ideally etc which make case a tiny bit more complex than simple. Essentially, even slight imperfection can cause rejection. You should have completed brand new form (make sure it's current). Don't mix typed text and handwriting. Write a cover letter explaining why you qualify for reduced fee. Good luck!

    Exactly, there is nobody to notify at this point

    You got I-129F approved. Why not get a new lease if you need it? Fiance can add your new address on DS-160. Once your fiance comes to the US and starts adjustment, you'd have to file I-865 every time you move until fiance becomes a US citizen or earns 40 quarters with SSA. I am not aware of any obligations to notify NVC about your address changes. I'm assuming you are a US citizen living in the US.

    You can check times here, depending on location. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ The next step is typically interview or approval.

    Congrats! You know this has nothing to do with reality. You'll be a citizen long before that
  6. OldUser
    If you're approved, interview is no longer relevant. Most likely both letters were sent together but USPS delivered approval notice before interview cancellation notice.

    Congratulations I had similar thought. I think many got trauma bonded with USCIS to an extent. That's probably why I'm sticking here on VJ, even though I got the citizenship and not sponsoring anyone.

    For N-400 you need to list all of your trips in the last 5 years (if applying under General Provision). 1) Did any of the trips exceed 6 months in the last 5 years? 2) Have you spent at least 30 months in the US in the last 5 years? 3) Do you have a payment plan in taxes owed? Depending on details, you may be ineligible to naturalize.

    Thank you! Didn't realize USCIS was affected by AWS outage!

    There is nothing to be worried about. All the hard things are behind. Oath ceremony is more like a celebration of you becoming US citizen. I applied for US passport first and then updated status with SSA.

    She should bring errata sheet to interview listing all other names or ways to spell her name. Let officer know she needs to amend answers. This is unlikely causing delays

    I'd only bring new one. And won't mention it unless they ask about I-864
  13. OldUser
    You're putting yourself at disadvantage. Having completed I-864 with you means you can give it there and then. Not having it can mean waiting a long time to communicate via emails / portals etc

    Your overstay got forgiven when you received green card. However, entire immigration can be reviewed when you go for naturalization.

    The only worry is when USCIS is not familiar with certain docs, they may RFE. Certified copies is what they see day to day. Not sure about exemplified.
  16. OldUser
    Pictures with family and friends are even more valuable. It shows people around you know about your relationship.

    I think you made it unnecessarily difficult. A regular ceremony with officiant + certified copy of marriage certificate is all you need for USCIS. Results may vary when deviating from this regular path
  18. OldUser
    Ok looked it up. Where did the marriage take place?
  19. OldUser
    What is it?
  20. OldUser
    Have papers with you but don't offer them unless asked. It should not be needed.
  21. OldUser
    Naturalized citizen will always have A number. When sponsoring somebody else, for example, you'd have to list it on forms. A number is printed on certificate of naturalization itself.
  22. OldUser
    Yes, it's easier to file without him if you qualify
  23. OldUser
    Is he filing taxes with you every year? Household in this context is related to taxes. For example, 3 friends / roommates are renting the same house. There are 3 households in the house. People who are part of same household typically are: spouses, their minor kids, and/or dependants (say old grandma who cannot care for herself and does not have income). If you somehow combine income together and pay joint taxes (not sure how), then sure, his income can be used. Otherwise he can be a joint sponsor and fill a form, if his income alone qualifies to sponsor somebody.

    Yes Yes, I checked the same box. It doesn't work. Here is details:
  25. OldUser
    Yes I got exactly that one from Amazon. Not 100% happy with it because it says Certificate of Citizenship, and not Certificate of Naturalization. The difference is huge! 😃 But overall it does the job of protecting the certificate well.
