    I am quite ashamed I missed this... CONGRATULATIONS!!! So happy for you man! Fascinating how the IO started veering out of scope; with a less informed applicant without an attorney, where could that line of questioning gone? Makes one think...

    Secondary, in my mind, is not "detained," and even less so "confined." If you feel like including it, do so. I wouldn't... and when it comes to immigration forms, I am about the most cautious person in the world.

    Congrats! Nashville takes its time, as they only do judicials.

    The path of least resistance is to submit the document as soon as possible. IMHO, there's no point in arguing about the ones you already submitted. Procure the documents (make sure they are the right ones) and re-submit... even if they were the sames ones already submitted.

    I mainly used a couple of apps. Sprang for the premium version for both. The one allowed you to input zip to customize answers; it also randomized the civics into groups of 10, and allowed for users to tag tricky questions for further review. Also had a audio and a digital flashcard component. Wife and kids got in on it too with the occasional impromptu quiz. I was a weirdo though... I started studying the day I applied LOL.

    How does she learn? The good news is that at this point, there are resources that suit most learning styles: Youtube videos/quizes Digital quizes and flashcards N400 civics apps (some with audio) Some folks make their own physical flashcards.

    This. Otherwise, you can apply via an acceptance center or passport agency. A lot of people (self included) schedule appointments for right after the ceremony.

    Marital status does change for a lot of people. Per your anecdote, your CON is accurate. Just note the new status on your passport application and provide the required documentation. Congrats on naturalizing!

    One benefit is the aforementioned removal of the work authorization legend. Another benefit is making sure SSA properly categorizes your retirement benefits. Lastly, it's a good idea to have one more federal agency (in addition to USCIS and DOS after passport) know your citizenship status. FYI, per news reports last week, this service (Enumeration beyond Entry) is going away, so you might have to go in to do it in-person anyway.

    This x100. OP, you can now have the joy of never having to sign into USCIS ever again!

    Good points.

    Good luck!!!

    Number 3 is a KEY consideration...

    I always tell folks if you have the money, and it's isn't a financial imposition AND you can guarantee competent representation, why not? This is America, after all... However, the N400 is the most DIY part of the process. If it is even close to as straightforward as you say, you should consider doing it by yourself; it is almost underwhelmingly easy to do.

    Oh wow. But this is why we all agree: best to be prepared.

    But we also know... if you don't bring the stuff...

    Based on my AOS PTSD, I brought everything to the N400 interview... IO checked nothing! 🤣

    Ascribing logic to USCIS? You sweet, sweet soul... Seriously though, the logical approach is to make everything as simple as possible for the IO to understand. Hilariously enough, I have seen USCIS issue an RFE for a divirce decree for a couple that had a court marriage and a traditional/customary wedding. I'd rather not pin my immigration hopes on the belief that an overworked adjudicator can figure out why a married couple had two ceremonies. They should be able to, but they should be able to send GCs of the correct length too.

    Agreed. I'd count biometrics reuse as a blessing.

    4) Sounds like he didn't naturalize, but derived. If you are referencing a COC, there are two dates: the date the Certificate was issued, and the day the person became a citizen (such as the day a parent naturalized for a minor). As previous poster said, more info needed.

    What did the N-652 say?
  23. Rekyrts
    Congratulations!
  24. Rekyrts
    Good to know!

    I'll do basketball. My thirst for gridiron waned after the concussion information became known to me. Also discovered an appreciation for ice hockey, and I do like baseball.
