    Agreed, it's worth checking, but likely the premium is higher if she's a new driver. If money isn't a problem, and OP thinks she may take the car one or twice a month to go do grocery run or attend yoga session or whatever - why not? Otherwise other good evidence may suffice.

    @stag you can also include samples of annotated photos showing you and your wife with family and friends. Place 2-3 photos per page. Also you can ask for sworn affidavits from friends and people who know you as a couple. These two are generally weaker pieces of evidence, but it doesn't hurt to include them.

    I wouldn't worry about it. Driving is not mandatory. If you end up going to the interview, I'm sure she can explain.

    Few more RFEs and approvals today in 21xxx range. Good to know USCIS continued processing cases even on December 22. Also saw one denial(!) for case in upper 22xxx range as of December 20th.

    What's the incentive?

    While I totally agree and support using credit cards where possible, OP is on tourist visa and may not have established US credit history.

    What's your point? Not everybody who passed the test and got DL drives. Not an issue at all in my opinion. Even if they had two different policies with same billing address - not an issue. There are financial or other reasons why people prefer doing things one way or the other.

    That's good. Don't add her to car insurance if she doesn't plan driving - waste of money. But 401k beneficiary, life insurance for sure.

    I think this is good. Do you have a family plan for your phone service? If you can somehow demostrate it, maybe it's worth including. Did you pay for any services for your wife? E.g. medical bills showing her name as a patient and your name / billing address as a payer. Or presents that you got her from some online stores. Or she used your card to pay for something. Essentially, any combination of her paying for you or vice versa. My wife sometimes buys tickets to events, listing both our names.

    Don't just rely on child's birth certificate. Some couples had a child together and then separated. Unless you have enough evidence of living together, USCIS may give you a hard time.

    See the guide for list of evidence. Also this doc. You can add your spouse name to utility bills any time by changing details online or calling the companies. Child's birth certificate is good evidence. There's no way of knowing your interview is going to be waived. Sometimes the strongest cases get interview scheduled due to random checks. Submit as much as you can and hope for the best.

    Depends on the context. If you see this in job descriptions, likely HRs use both terms interchangeably to indicate they're looking for somebody who can be legally employed.

    Did you mean 2020?
  14. OldUser
    @FriendlyUser I'm not Mike, but there are some reasons you can give (not a legal advice): - Was focused on other aspects of life (family, studies, career) and didn't prioritize naturalization at the time - Needed more time to make this important life changing decision
  15. OldUser
    I disagree, the answer matters. OP may be a US citizen already, depending on several factors. Some of them: - How old OP was on the day his mother naturalized - Whether they lived together at that time
  16. OldUser
    Good point
  17. OldUser
    What's the rush? Get all correct info, then apply. Does she have a photo of her holding naturalization certificate at the ceremony? FOIA is also an option.
  18. OldUser
    Call USCIS and get an info pass appointment. Yes, it's a stamp in passport, only needed if you lost green card / I-751 extension letter or letter expired.

    WAC update: Some movement in 21000-21999 range in the last few days, no movement in 22000 range yet. No approvals today in this range (December 21st) so far. I guess it's holidays slowdown...

    Sorry, had to comment on this one more time... @Rocio0010 @Family et al, thank you guys for trying to help @IandI100. It doesn't seem like any argument will be accepted at this point. Even the fact that it's not the receipt numbers that get decided upon. It's the applications or petitions that get approved or denied. I got a feeling this thread may get closed, and we'll never find the outcome of this case. My only wish is that OP doesn't open a new thread under the same or different username, starting the whole discussion over with very little detail, which is a possibility. Also, leaving this diagram as a food for thought.
  21. OldUser
    It's a lot, but very reasonable pricing.
  22. OldUser
    In simple words, by suing USCIS (writ of mandamus) you're asking them to decide on your case within 60 days of them receiving it. Decision can be approve or deny. Read more here
  23. OldUser
    Lawyer, I don't think mandamus is a DIY.
  24. OldUser
    On a scale from 1 to 10, how satisfied are you with timeliness, effectiveness and quality of service USCIS provides working on your case?
  25. OldUser
    USA doesn't have a problem with people naturalizing and keeping their prior citizenship, e.g. dual citizenship. It's question for Germany. She should consult with a German lawyer. There is a procedure she can undergo to keep her German citizenship (if eligible) after becoming US citizen.
