    SSA folks do not always follow the process. Only US passport OR naturalization certificate is required. I only showed US passport to update citizenship status.

    Credit card statements, emails, text messages, Google Map or phone location history, flight or hotel reservations, photos on phone, stamps in passport... These are some of the methods to reconstruct travel history if you haven't logged it yourself in a spreadsheet. Maybe CBP FOIA request can help too.

    Definitely a personal choice, I wouldn't destroy everything though. That's depriving yourself from evidence if authorities ever question how you became a citizen or if you need to sponsor somebody else and need to know all the answers you put on forms. Keeping at least digital copies isn't a bad idea. I only destroyed evidence that I had digital copies of and which I could obtain easily again if needed

    I wouldn't destroy everything. You may need to know what you put in applicatons, when you got decisions etc. Here's my approach:

    There you go then.

    That thing cannot be trusted anyway

    Try checking status here: https://egov.uscis.gov/ The link above doesn't require login, only needs case number. Sometimes when myUSCIS is down, this works.

    I applied under 5 year rule, was asked about marriage. Lawyer stepped in and told officer it was irrelevant.

    Potentially. Entire immigration history can be reviewed. By the way, once you're LPR, you're not on visa. Don't say that to officer, it's confusing.

    Congrats! You had right expectations, and it's amazing it got approved so quickly!

    On the day of my oath it showed 3 weeks until decision. It's totally wrong.

    Not filling, it's filing. You'd file both I-864 (you) and I-864A (your wife). You'd provide tax return transcript from IRS website, not full tax return that you sent to IRS.

    Let them know sooner than later. You can write letter / send evidence of divorce

    To clarify my comment above. I don't think US government would consider US Army a "group that uses weapon to threaten or harm people or properties or hijack planes". In my view it would be ridiculous to compare the US Army to such group, but maybe I don't understand something.

    These are emotionally charged questions. For US, a intelligence officer is a hero serving the country's interests, while for a foreign government he's a spy. Same here, I'd say no unless you think you were a member of a gang. You served this country and weren't doing anything illegal hopefully.

    This is not normal. Officers are supposed to make copies of documents such as birth certificate or passport and give it back, unless it was a certified copy.
  17. OldUser
    Not really
  18. OldUser
    Normal. Biometrics is just the beginning of process.

    True. Reading this post again, OP doesn't need to mention it unless already works there. After naturalization, USCIS can poud sand.

    So by quitting a job in the US you'd be losing a significant tie to the US. I'd also think you won't be keeping US lease if you travel too much outside the US? Add to that 6+ months international trips a year, and you're looking for a random grumpy CBP give you NTA upon reentry.
  21. OldUser
    Sure, it can happen
  22. OldUser
    Overseas job weakens your ties to the US significantly in my opinion. I'd accept it after naturalizing.

    @Crazy Cat please post K-1 vs CR-1 comparison

    In addition to VJ and Reddit, I listened to all 895 episodes of immigration show by one lawyer on YouTube. That's over 900 hrs of videos. This question and people's experiences were discussed there 20-30 times too.

    No. People's passports expire / get lost all the time. Some green card holders don't even have passports.
