    9 years and 6 months the earliest 😃

    5 years rule is easier, true. But then you need to ask yourself what happens to USCIS if administration changes after presidential elections. There's still a possibility of becoming a citizen before any potential negative changes come into play.

    It is complex. You'd need to make sure you do everything legally which may include getting consent from her father and some paperwork. Family lawyer may help with this. I'd bring the subject as you discuss the divorce process with family lawyer.

    I don't believe cheating is a qualifying reason for VAWA. As to abuse, OP would have to describe something substantial.

    Divorce the sponsor. Proceeding with I-485 is not an option as marriage is not bonafide. USCIS may even use your wife's cheating against you. Your daughter can sponsor your for GC once she's 21. Until then you're out of status and need other avenues to remain in the US legally.

    That's an awesome reason to celebrate if OP cannot make it to oath ceremony.

    First of all, some field offices don't allow visitors. Does your field office allow you to be present at oath? Secondly, I know naturalizing is a big deal. At the same time, I know a friend who naturalized while his wife was at work. Few hours later he flew out on a business trip to the other coast. I don't think either of them missed much...

    As one lawyer says, N-400 is the last chance USCIS has to deport somebody, so sometimes they put a lot of effort reviewing entire immigration history before approving petition. I'm positive you'll hear good news soon!

    Yes, people have it all the time. Nothing to worry about. Good that you had additional evidence with you. I bet he anticipated you being caught by surprise, but you were well prepared. Most likely, he either cannot approve the case himself (not enough experience) or it's to do with country of origin (unfortunately, USCIS has elevated bar for certain applicants). You'll probably hear from them in the next few weeks or month. If not, you can sue for decision after 120 days since the interview. Congratulations, you're almost there!

    I-765 depends on pending I-485. You cannot get it without AOS pending. Fiance can continue working on E2. Once I-485 is filed, I-765 can be filed together with it.

    To me it wasn't clear from the post whether OP's mother was a US citizen at the time OP was born. Maybe I miss something, but OP may have been born to a foreign mother. Later in life father got employment based GC and naturalized... @JeanAb can you help understanding your mother status when you were born?

    That's what I also thought, but I'm not an expert in this area.

    It doesn't seem you're a US citizen. You needed to live with your father in his full custody at the time he naturalized... Seems like you're an LPR and need to file N-400.
  14. OldUser
    How do you expect to get a passport if you don't have enough proof you're a US citizen for N-600? Even if you get passport now with some luck, you may face same or harder pushback in the future when you try to renew passport. You need to look into root problem, maybe hire a lawyer to help etc.

    I'd pay the money and obtain certificate of citizenship once and for all. So you don't end up in this situation again in the future.

    Estimates are very unreliable.

    Fresh report...

    Personal check is the king...

    Another option is to keep using maiden name until N-400 stage. That way you don't have to worry about your name on green card not matching your name in passport. On the other hand, if you intend using married name, might as well get all US documents in this new name instead of having to update everything. You can start using married name today as @Crazy Cat described.

    Yes, you need to file I-130. I-130 is to confirm relationship between US citizen and their foreign spouse. Same goes for kids. So you need 3 x I-130 and 3 x I-485 at a minimum. Ideally they should also get I-131 and I-765 each. Depending on fees you may skip those if comfortable. You also need I-864 for each, I-693 for each. AFAIK, U4U is not considered refugee and cannot get fees waived, but others can correct me.

    Congratulations! Can't believe they actually worked on federal holiday 😊

    The answer "no" may result you being accused of misrepresentation and cause inadmissability

    Estimates are just estimates. They cannot predict things 100%
  25. OldUser
    Yes, people get it all the time, especially if I-751 was pending. Did you have I-751 pending prior to N-400 interview?
