  1. No, you shouldn't have issues but do it soon after receiving your passport and certificate of naturalization.
  2. 0. Congratulations on becoming a citizen! 1. Go and do it in person. You can do it by mail, but I wouldn't mail my original docs to SSA (what if they get lost). 2. Yes, wait for your passport / certificate as you need to show it as a proof of your US citizenship More info: https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship-resource-center/new-us-citizens
  3. Affidavits are not required, but it doesn't hurt to include them. Other evidence is more important, and you already seem to have it. If you have joint bank accounts, include statements from those.
  4. Agreed, I don't think any of these papers would have any weight even if she decides to go WAVA route. I just hope she doesn't get intimidated by the OP. She may have been unfaithful, but it's becoming evident the OP is the one who could have been controlling / abusive...
  5. No, you're still waiting for I-751 to be adjudicated. Was it denied or what does the status say?
  6. I am by no means an expert in this question, but it appears that Brazil does not actively revoke their citizenship if one naturalizes elsewhere, eventhough Brazil certainly can legally initiate the process. I don't believe naturalizing in the US should affect your wife's Brazilian citizenship.
  7. + I don't think this is going to be a DIY process. We're looking at north of $20K considering filing fees for renouncing, GC, naturalizing again and all legal fees. Also it's likely going to take 8-10 years to complete, realistically. @ac8238 are you sure your family member is ready to go through this lengthy and expensive cycle full of unknowns just for the checkbox? Also, does your family member have a different citizenship to fall back to? He / she cannot renounce US citizenship to become a stateless person. If he / she obtained the citizenship based on asylum it becomes extra interesting. That would make a good book / TV show for sure.
  8. When the family member was asked yes/no questions, did they answer it correctly during N-400 interview? My advice would be NOT to touch it at all. There is a tiny chance this may ever become an issue, mainly if the citizen will try sponsoring somebody else.
  9. Hi @kaleya I haven't heard about the option for self-printing extension letters. Also, the extension letters usually come on a watermarked protected paper, and even if you manage to print one yourself I doubt airlines / officials / HRs will honor it. The best course of action is to obtain I-551 stamp. You need to call USCIS and get an appointment for that. It's not given earlier than 30 days before extension letter expires. N-400 application will not result in green card extension letter being issued.
  10. I wouldn't want this forum to become a platform for spreading misinformation. Many users may read that comment and have an unrealisitic expectations around approvals of their cases. It looks suspicious, and it would be great to confirm this is true.
  11. We can easily verify if the new user Sargged2022 was approved quickly by scanning cases for October 2022. Can somebody give their EAC case number, filed in October 2022 without the last 3 digits?
  12. There is a risk your N-400 could be denied AND you could lose green card because I-751 was adjudicated incorrectly. You should have divorced in 2020 and submitted divorce waiver for you I-751 application before it was decided on. I think it's worth seeing a good immigration lawyer to seek advice. You are in a potentially difficult situation.
  13. You will have to present both marriage and divorce certificates. You may need to answer a few questions about marriage. You may have a chance of issue if you previously had a joint I-751 and it was approved after you divorced / separated. Otherwise you should be good. Usually N-400 under 5 year rule does not require the bonafide marriage proof as for I-130/I-485, I-751 or N-400 under 3 year rule.
  14. @From_CAN_2_US sorry to hear about your mother's health issues, I hope she recovers soon! Another option for people with strong passports, similar to you e.g. Canadian, British, Australian, Italian etc is to naturalize under 5 year rule. Then marital union question should never come up.
  15. I think travelling together only matters if going for a lengthy trip without a spouse AND naturalizing under 3 year rule. An IO may nitpick on it, accusing LPR of breaking marital union. Not a common thing, but it does happen.
  16. No income requirements. Just need to prove bonafide marriage, including comingling of finances.
  17. Wanted to ask this question as I see more and more threads referring to the term "neutralization", when filing form N-400.
