    Can you elaborate on this? Usually there's two parents on birth certificate in most countries. What did she list for "father" / "parent 2" or whatever it may have been called?
  2. OldUser
    Agreed with you, this seems like an act of desperation. She likely just wants to force OP's friend to sell the house and split the proceeds, but doesn't have any legal grounds for that.

    Assuming the birth was given in Colombia, CRBA will need to be filed, correct. And US citizen needs to cooperate for this to happen. I doubt it's possible without active participation from your friend. Does the birth certificate list the friend as a father? She cannot just "take his house", since they were never married.

    Then I think "No" is the right answer for them.

    If your kids are US Citizens, you should check No box for question "Is this child applying with you?" Are you 100% sure they're US citizens? Were they born in the US?

    Does your social security card have any wording such as "Valid for work only with DHS authorization"? If no wording other that number and your SSN, then you're fine. You can show it to any employer with drivers license to prove your eligibility to work. ADIT (I-551) stamp in passport lets you travel and return to the US.

    Path of least resistance is joint sponsor. If you don't get it right your case may get denied and you'll have to start over.

    Are you sure the transaction didn't get flagged as fradulent and credit card payment got declined? This is a fairly common thing when paying USCIS fees with credit cards.

    Can you elaborate on this? There's not such thing as temporary removal AFAIK.

    I disagree with this. I know somebody personally who got I-751 approval at WAC without filing for N-400. There were also a few reports on forum recently where people got approved without filing N-400. It's not to say that I-751 is a priority for USCIS. It's not.

    Looks like WAC is getting slower and slower. I filed end of November 2021, got biometrics reused end of April 2022. Still waiting for decision. No RFEs, no interview yet.

    That'a right, I'd strongly advise it. I'd get both passport and passport card. Passport -> get "large" book, same price, but more pages just in case. It's not larger in dimentions, just has more pages for visas, stamps etc. Passport card -> can also be used for proving citizenship. Same size as Green Card. Not so useful for travel (only few places you can use it), but can be helpful if you lose passport and or naturalization certificate. Good luck

    AFAIK you cannot have copies. If you lose it or damage the original, you'll have to pay $555 and go through process to get a new one.

    Yes

    You can find answers about next steps after naturalizing here: https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship-resource-center/new-us-citizens In short: update status in SSA, notify employer, also get passport. The reason to get passport (and card ID) is to have additional proofs of your citizenship. Also, it takes months to get US passport, so it would be a good idea to get it done sooner. You are required to leave and re-enter USA on US passport.

    Love to watch this guy BTW 😃 I also think he just travels on WVP.

    You'll probably have to wait for official letter in the mail. After all, you'll need it to attend the oath ceremony. The IT issue may get fixed in few days by itself. Just keep checking periodically?

    As a Canadian citizen, you're always welcome back to Canada, in any capacity. Whether you're transiting or coming back to work or live. That's what citizenship grants you. If it makes financial sense and doesn't add too much of a delay to your itenary, then why not? 🙂

    Also, it wouldn't hurt to carry certified copy or marriage certificate proving the name change if you end up travelling on current passport.
  20. OldUser
    Do you have time to update Canadian passport before the trip to reflect your current legal name e.g. married name? If you do that, should have to problems at all. Otherwise, see @Dashinka comment.
  21. OldUser
    @FamilyBased485 if you have extension lettee that is still valid and expired GC, that's all you need besides valid passport to travel to Canada.
  22. OldUser
    Good luck!

    No, see above. Usually, a decision cannot be made if you're in "in between" state, e.g. neither divorced nor living together.
  24. OldUser
    Did you get this in writing from the attorney? Or just verbally? That's usually not the case. You either need to be married living together OR be divorced to get I-751 approved. There's no in between state that will get you easily approved. Occasionally some with exceptional circumstances get approved, when separation is involuntary. Is your attorney coming to the interview with you?
  25. OldUser
    You have good evidence, however your husband moving out before I-751 approval and no official divorce will make this: very improbable. Most likely, decision won't be made. The IO will likely advise converting petition to divorce waiver and issue you RFE to provide divorce decree. You probably need to withdraw your N-400. Have you consulted an immigration attorney and family attorney? Your situation is not end of the world, but you do need to have a solid plan to make it work. Sometimes that involves postponing interview, filing for divorce etc.
