You got I-129F approved. Why not get a new lease if you need it? Fiance can add your new address on DS-160. Once your fiance comes to the US and starts adjustment, you'd have to file I-865 every time you move until fiance becomes a US citizen or earns 40 quarters with SSA. I am not aware of any obligations to notify NVC about your address changes. I'm assuming you are a US citizen living in the US.

You can check times here, depending on location. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ The next step is typically interview or approval.

Congrats! You know this has nothing to do with reality. You'll be a citizen long before that

If you're approved, interview is no longer relevant. Most likely both letters were sent together but USPS delivered approval notice before interview cancellation notice.

Congratulations I had similar thought. I think many got trauma bonded with USCIS to an extent. That's probably why I'm sticking here on VJ, even though I got the citizenship and not sponsoring anyone.

For N-400 you need to list all of your trips in the last 5 years (if applying under General Provision). 1) Did any of the trips exceed 6 months in the last 5 years? 2) Have you spent at least 30 months in the US in the last 5 years? 3) Do you have a payment plan in taxes owed? Depending on details, you may be ineligible to naturalize.

Thank you! Didn't realize USCIS was affected by AWS outage!

There is nothing to be worried about. All the hard things are behind. Oath ceremony is more like a celebration of you becoming US citizen. I applied for US passport first and then updated status with SSA.

She should bring errata sheet to interview listing all other names or ways to spell her name. Let officer know she needs to amend answers. This is unlikely causing delays

I'd only bring new one. And won't mention it unless they ask about I-864

You're putting yourself at disadvantage. Having completed I-864 with you means you can give it there and then. Not having it can mean waiting a long time to communicate via emails / portals etc

Your overstay got forgiven when you received green card. However, entire immigration can be reviewed when you go for naturalization.

The only worry is when USCIS is not familiar with certain docs, they may RFE. Certified copies is what they see day to day. Not sure about exemplified.

Pictures with family and friends are even more valuable. It shows people around you know about your relationship.

I think you made it unnecessarily difficult. A regular ceremony with officiant + certified copy of marriage certificate is all you need for USCIS. Results may vary when deviating from this regular path

Ok looked it up. Where did the marriage take place?

What is it?

Have papers with you but don't offer them unless asked. It should not be needed.

Naturalized citizen will always have A number. When sponsoring somebody else, for example, you'd have to list it on forms. A number is printed on certificate of naturalization itself.

Yes, it's easier to file without him if you qualify

Is he filing taxes with you every year? Household in this context is related to taxes. For example, 3 friends / roommates are renting the same house. There are 3 households in the house. People who are part of same household typically are: spouses, their minor kids, and/or dependants (say old grandma who cannot care for herself and does not have income). If you somehow combine income together and pay joint taxes (not sure how), then sure, his income can be used. Otherwise he can be a joint sponsor and fill a form, if his income alone qualifies to sponsor somebody.

Yes Yes, I checked the same box. It doesn't work. Here is details:

Yes I got exactly that one from Amazon. Not 100% happy with it because it says Certificate of Citizenship, and not Certificate of Naturalization. The difference is huge! 😃 But overall it does the job of protecting the certificate well.

They do give you a folder with bunch of stuff before ceremony. You can place certificate in there. I have not tried getting authenticated copy. My goal was to leave USCIS building as soon as I could Yes, my certificate was sent away with passport application. I took a digital scanner copy and few photos of it just in case. Yes, it was stapled and folded. Yes, it actually arrived after passport, and unlike passport, it wasn't a tracked mail. If you have history of mailman losing your mail, if you live in apartment building with known issues etc, then yes, maybe applying for urgent passport can eliminate the possibility of USPS losing the certificate. But in my case, I live in my own place and it's pretty reliable. There were no issues. Once I got certificate back I stored it in folder.

Congrats! Not everybody gets a difficult interview, but always need to be ready for it. Did you get approval or oath yet? After becoming a citizen, I highly recommend updating status with SSA and getting a large passport book. Good luck!
