    I applied under 5 year rule, was asked about marriage. Lawyer stepped in and told officer it was irrelevant.

    Potentially. Entire immigration history can be reviewed. By the way, once you're LPR, you're not on visa. Don't say that to officer, it's confusing.

    Congrats! You had right expectations, and it's amazing it got approved so quickly!

    On the day of my oath it showed 3 weeks until decision. It's totally wrong.

    Not filling, it's filing. You'd file both I-864 (you) and I-864A (your wife). You'd provide tax return transcript from IRS website, not full tax return that you sent to IRS.

    Let them know sooner than later. You can write letter / send evidence of divorce

    To clarify my comment above. I don't think US government would consider US Army a "group that uses weapon to threaten or harm people or properties or hijack planes". In my view it would be ridiculous to compare the US Army to such group, but maybe I don't understand something.

    These are emotionally charged questions. For US, a intelligence officer is a hero serving the country's interests, while for a foreign government he's a spy. Same here, I'd say no unless you think you were a member of a gang. You served this country and weren't doing anything illegal hopefully.

    This is not normal. Officers are supposed to make copies of documents such as birth certificate or passport and give it back, unless it was a certified copy.

    Not really

    Normal. Biometrics is just the beginning of process.

    True. Reading this post again, OP doesn't need to mention it unless already works there. After naturalization, USCIS can poud sand.

    So by quitting a job in the US you'd be losing a significant tie to the US. I'd also think you won't be keeping US lease if you travel too much outside the US? Add to that 6+ months international trips a year, and you're looking for a random grumpy CBP give you NTA upon reentry.

    Sure, it can happen

    Overseas job weakens your ties to the US significantly in my opinion. I'd accept it after naturalizing.

    @Crazy Cat please post K-1 vs CR-1 comparison

    In addition to VJ and Reddit, I listened to all 895 episodes of immigration show by one lawyer on YouTube. That's over 900 hrs of videos. This question and people's experiences were discussed there 20-30 times too.

    No. People's passports expire / get lost all the time. Some green card holders don't even have passports.

    Are you saying the most expensive lawyer is telling him to pause DV for few months, and then he can resume? I would be surprised if a professional encouraged somebody to harm others. You're linking DV and immigration together, whereas from my outsider's point of view, they're not interntwined. Using this logic, wouldn't he get mad and angry if you attempted to meddle with his immigration matters? I'd think the chances of violence could have increased from him if he's a very bad person you're portraying. Wishing you luck. Please seek safety and peace first, retaliation and everything else is secondary. I have nothing to add here

    Your friend is wrong. It's not a gray area, it's a clear requirement to be living together at time of oath and all the time preceding it. Even though I naturalized under 5 year rule, officer asked me whether I ever lived apart from my spouse. Great chance he'll be asked a similar question. If he lies under oath, that's a big problem for him.
  21. OldUser
    He is committing fraud if he's proceeding with it. To naturalize under 3 year rule he must be physically living together with you as a married man for 3+ years all the way until oath. Because you're separated, he doesn't qualify to naturalize under 3 year rule. But how do you know he's gonna go through with it, maybe he withdrawn petition already or thinks about it?
  22. OldUser
    You don't live together. He's not eligible to naturalize under 3 year rule. If he does, that would be fraud and reason for him to get denaturalized. It's his case, you really don't have any reasonable control over it at this point. I don't see how him naturalizing or not would help with DV. Seek safety for yourself - move to different address, file for divorce, cut ties to him. Seeking revenge through immigration is not really the answer here.

    I don't typically carry regular passport on domestic trips. This is the first time I used passport card to fly. Typically showed California Real ID DL. GE card is interesting, I have one too, maybe will start a thread on that 😃

    MM/YYYY: August 2025 Location: California, US Business / organization: Airport Check type: Identity verification Reason: going through TSA Result: Success Details: Had to use passport card to verify my identity when going through TSA for business trip. Uneventful.

    Have no doubt. If you don't have PR, the answer is no.
