You'll need visa to Europe Schengen countries based on your citizenship regardless whether you have Green Card or not. Green Card helps entering Canada, Mexico and few Carribbean countries without visa. But that's all.

Should, some officers need to see spouse. If you have pending I-751, then you must take spouse.

No, they don't need to see the child. Birth certificate is all they need to see

Not every officer likes kids. Small kids especially can cry or otherwise distract the parents and or adjudicator. In this case, officer asks one parent to step outside with kid while asking the other questions. Then parents switch. Then answers compared. Essentially, it becomes a stokes interview when otherwise it wouldn't. I'm quoting few lawyers who go to these interviews, it's from their experience. None of the times I've been to USCIS office I've seen kids around. The wait for interview can be long. The interview itself can last from 15 minutes to an hour or more depending on officer. If you get same day oath, you may need to wait for it in the building. This happened to me, about 1.5 hrs after interview until I got called for ceremony. A small kid may find this place extremely boring. I'm sure some VJ users brought kids and had positive experience, I'm just sharing some possible difficulties with this approach.

Congrats! I'd take spouse to interview for sure and leave the kid with a nanny. You don't want a stokes interview. Good luck!

You can leave them blank. Can you give an example?

Many countries passports don't include middle names. Not a big issue.

No, for biometrics only beneciary is expected to attend. Aloha!

Keep us updated! You should get the interview soon. Mine was 1 month after 5 year anniversary of being LPR

There's this blonde lady (Legally Blonde lol?) on YouTube, not sharing her channel name here. She does a good job going through questions. But there's few questions which depend on where you live, like naming your representative etc. Make sure you study those too!

You celebrate?

11.8M is not much. I think it's to weed out people who are not serious

Strange. I had same day ceremony and I still had paper with checkbox given to me after interview

There's also official PDF: https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/find-study-materials-and-resources/study-for-the-test

IMHO the test is pretty simple and there's tons of YouTube videos preparing you for test. Better luck next try!

Nothing fundamentally changed in your case. MyProgress estimates for case completion mean nothing. On day of my oath, MyProgress showed 3 weeks until decision.

You get all missing vaccines at once, whatever is age appropriate

This is the most expensive and inconvenient option. Why go this route? Most of the times getting vaccines in the US costs substantially more. Plus many civil surgeons will demand doing the whole exam in the US costing sometimes as much as $500-800 out of pocket

Yes, you can do you blood test for many and bring results to civil surgeon. However, it may be more expensive than getting vaccine itself again. Most of vaccines are safe to get again if you don't have records. If you already have immunity, vaccine won't do anything, because your body knows how to handle the virus. Vaccines typically have deactivated virus that is not harmful anyway. Many vaccines won't be given to you after certain age. Civil surgeon can analyse it on spot and give you everything necessary on the day of exam.

Just upload evidence online. It may or may not be considered, but doesn't hurt

You got everything and more. Just don't forget to bring your smile for the photo picturing the great moment!

It's still September though?

Congrats!

We can find many reasons why people who theoretically can qualify using I-864 get issues using them in practice. Subjectively, by observing VJ posts for a while I can conclude that pursuing joint sponsor may be a path of least resistance, otherwise we wouldn't see this many posts of applicants struggling with I-864 when using assets. We can give a green light to somebody who appears to qualify to only find later they lost 3-6 months dealing with RFEs or NOIDs based on intricate technicalities. Adjudicators selectively close eyes in one set of cases and are super maticulous in other cases when it comes to using assets. When something works half of the time, my recommendation is to pick something more robust. In marriage, we can choose the other half. We can date, chat, live together and learn about the person before committing. We cannot pick adjudicator who decides whether I-864 with assets is accepted, so I wouldn't compare it
