Historically, we've seen receipts taking anywhere from 1 to 10 weeks, with average of 4-6 weeks

Nothing in relation to your immigration status. E.g. won't help if you weren't admitted as LPR.

Sadly, I don't have it. Sorry

Any documents in foreign language should be translated. Online services can do it for cheap.

Nobody can guarantee or predict visitor visa application outcome. The risk is always there. Have you considered naturalizing in the US and then going back to the Europe?

Keep us posted when you receive your docs 😊

No, you won't receive anything else from USCIS. If there's anything to be remembered from immigration journey - case status means nothing 😃 Somebody must have pressed the buttons on your case 5 days late. You will receive certificate of naturalization in the mail, often few days or week after passport arrives. So don't worry about that.

Yes, exactly. You create a packet, consisting of cover page, table of contents, form, payment and supporting evidence

Maybe. There's never guarantees. US citizen kid and spouse are ties to the US. Yes, you can apply for spousal visa in the future.

The problem is, there is no solid consistent evidence proving filing I-129F works. We know K-3 gets closed when I-130 gets approved, but we don't have anything to indicate K-3 forces decision on I-130. The only thing USCIS will honor with great level of success is Writ of Mandamus. Everything else provides mostly psychological relief for petitioner (e.g. something is happening, case isn't fully stuck because I'm getting replies and various updates)

If you had full custody of kids, I don't think you're expected to prove child support. Were you ordered by court to pay child support after divorcing?

I-129F is the form for K-3 visa. However, it's no longer issued.

Writ of Mandamus. This is the real method to get attention. It's not free though.

In my interview, officer read questions exactly how they were in preparation material. I believe officers are required to read them as written.

Yes, both main and joint sponsors need to file it when they move. Within 30 days of moving. Better file late than never.

Depends on how they come. If they come on immigrant visa, they don't need to adjust.

Children must be lawful permanent residents living with their parent in the US to become citizens as far as I know.

Good luck!

I don't see it as a big problem, but obviously can't guarantee anything

Totally agree with you on this one. OP should not delay N-400. They should apply as soon as eligible. N-600 for child is a nice thing to have in the future, when parent or kid can afford it. In most cases yes, US passport is sufficient proof of child's citizenship.

Yes, they say a lot of things. Last time they said my naturalization case would take 7 months, but it took 3.5. I wouldn't want to bloat this topic with examples (news reports and immigration forums) where US passport wasn't enough to establish US citizenship. I just know the problem exists.

I have Global Entry and Global Entry card. Even though it says my US citizenship on it, I wouldn't rely on it as solid proof. It may be accepted by CBP, but acceptance by other agencies is to be proven, there's not much data on whether SSA would accept it to prove US citizenship. Federal employers, I can almost guarantee, wouldn't see Global Entry card as credible proof of citizenship. I'm saying this, because I know somebody who's US passport and US passport card weren't sufficient to prove citizenship. Employer demanded naturalization certificate specifically. Global entry is also available to citizens of certain countries like Germany, without even having any permanent status in the US. A German citizen can get GE and travel to US on ESTA as a tourist.

The following states issue EDLs: Michigan Minnesota New York Vermont Washington Source: https://www.dhs.gov/enhanced-drivers-licenses-what-are-they How to get Real ID in each of these states: Michigan - https://www.michigan.gov/sos/license-id/real-id Minnesota - https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/dvs/license-and-id/dl-and-id-card-information/real-id-dl-and-id-card New York - https://dmv.ny.gov/driver-license/enhanced-or-real-id Vermont - https://dmv.vermont.gov/licenses/types-of-licenses-ids/real-id Washington - https://dol.wa.gov/id-cards/real-id - only EDL available, no Real ID. Looks like you're from Washington state? In this case, I understand your prior comments about Real ID and the fact people in your state cannot get this Real ID compliant document without being a US citizen. If my state offered EDL, I'd get it. But I still would get and keep safe certificate of citizenship / certificate of naturalization due to reasons outlined earlier.
