  1. Are you sure you're referring to middle names, not last names?
  2. No, unless you barely meet physical presence and this international trip will make you not meet it. You'll have to list international trips. Domestic trip does not have to be listed or disclosed
  3. You cannot return what you don't have. They may ask you to sign a statement saying you lost them and didn't sell to anybody else etc.
  4. I worked with lawyers, 0 RFEs. In the last few weeks, I've seen a couple of instances when a good lawyer would add value instead of users clearly struggling to comprehend straightforward guides and instructions. Lawyers are not needed in every case, but what I've seen was hopeless. I don't want to name one user, but their family got in removal proceedings because they couldn't follow the process. It must cost them a lot more now than paying a competent professional to file their case. DIY is not for everyone, sadly.
  5. I would not ignore the appointment. Missing appointment usually means eventual denial, and you only have one attempt when it comes to N-600! You cannot refile if denied! So I'd take the kids to appointment and go from there. Most likely, they won't get fingerprinted, but some note will be left in thy system saying they don't require it. Keep us updated.
  6. It can make the process faster. RFEs due to rookie mistakes can add 3-6 months easily
  7. Exactly, so advising @Angela & Brendon to bring those too. The chances are they'll never be asked for expired cards, but sometimes USCIS officers do ask. Update: nevermind, OP had ceremony already I guess.
  8. Yep, I never understood governments issuing amended birth certificates when person changes name later in life. And especially I know some countries issuing birth certificates when somebody naturalizes in their jurisdiction! Doesn't make any sense... You're born in a particular place, with particular name and particular DOB. You can change these later in life, but whatever is on birth certificate should remain the same, it's a snapshot of your info at time of birth in my opinion.
  9. Sorry you're still waiting, it must be stressful. What action would that be? Lawsuit?
  10. At my oath ceremony, somebody was asked to surrender previously expired GC and EADs.
  11. IMHO chance of being rejected at preclearance is much higher than on US soil. But I doubt OP would even get to preclearance, most likely would be bounced off at airline desk before even reaching CBP? Others with experience can comment, I've never been in this situation thankfully.
  12. Exactly, one of my parents is also deceased and I had to write that.
  13. I don't think airline would allow to board the plane without extension letter. If OP had an expired 10 year GC, they'd have more luck boarding the plane without extension letter
  14. For eligibility, it doesn't matter when it's looked at. It matters when it was filed. I would advise NOT filing it before 3 year anniversary, not even a day before, to avoid possible denial. I would file it online few days after 3 year anniversary of being LPR or 3 year of living with US citizen spouse (who has been a citizen for 3+ years) whichever is later
  15. Yes, it is a waiting game. The only thing that can nudge USCIS would be Writ of Mandamus
  16. Depends on visa they're on and how much time they were given by CBP when entering the US. You cannot plan adjustment because it would be fraud.
  17. Can be safely ignored. Estimates provided by MyProgress are always wrong.
  18. Every time you post a new reply in same thread, users will see this thread on top as it contains new messages. Yes, creating multiple threads for related questions is discouraged by moderators. You were asked already to stick to one thread:
  19. Yes, please stop creating new threads related to the same form I-130A.
  20. Unless somebody is really sloppy and makes obvious mistakes despite VJ guides and advices given here. In this case, IMO, lawyer is worth it
  21. Oh man, countries with such rules make it really difficult for an immigrant! I'd never change my name in USA if my country of origin would have made it difficult or impossible to do it.
  22. MyProgress can be safely ignored. It showed 3 weeks until decision on day of my oath. I don't know what decision it referred to. It's a buggy software that goes down all the time (disappears) and comes back with random numbers.
  23. Read it again, even I can see it from limited info you posted. Please hire a lawyer if this is difficult or confusing. You don't want to make mistakes / delay it further.
