Specific questions! Cannot find answers!

[Vishnya 4]

Hi everybody!! Im glad we all now it this thread! I've been searching around, but I found only generalized information. Need advice/opinion.

1) N-400: information about addresses - before my marriage I was on lease in few apartments, and then for a few moth I lived with my friend (not on lease) do I need to mention this location?

2) N-400: information about kids: my hubby and I don't have kids yet, but he has 2 kids from previous relationships(not married) they are not my step-kids, we see them once or twice a month. Question is do i need to write their information?? Addresses and Birthdays??? Their mom are not happy about me, cause Tom had married me not them, will they be asked questions from IO? or information about kids is just general

3) Interview: how is the process goes? first we send package, then BIO appointment, then the actual BIO, then interview?? Am I going by myself or with my husband (USC)? What documents do I need to have with me besides 2 photos and passport, Tax transcripts?

4) Those who are applied based on 3 years residency(married) the purpose of the interview is to prove we still married or to prove I'll be a good citizen??

Thank you for reading all this questions! I will be thankful if you can answer even few of them!! Enjoy the beautiful summer.

1. Yes - lst everywhere you have lived

For number 2 I just have to ask. Why don't you think your husband's children are not your stepchildren given you are married to their biological father?

3. Yes you got it. Also your husband goes with you to interview as it is based on marriage unless you go through the waiver process for divorce which I THINK forces you into 5 years before eligible.

4. Both good citizen and still a real marriage which is why you are allowed to apply after 3 years and not wait for 5.

My husband's children cannot spent any time with me! Whenever he goes to visit them, I'm staying at home. This what their mom asked for!

Ok, so if my hubby has to sit next to me on the interview it changes everything. He is working as a long distance driver and we cannot guarantee his presents on the day of interview ((((((( thanks

1) You must live every place you have lived while in the US, during the time that you were a Permanent Resident. You say you lived with a friend -- with or without your husband? This may undermine your claim to a bona fide marriage, so make sure you can explain everything.

2) You must list YOUR children, if you have any. Not your husband's.

3a) At the top of every VisaJourney page there is a tab called 'Guides'. Follow this to the Guide for Citizenship. Good information, checklists, step by step instructions. Specifically you must provide tax information for every year in which you were a resident. Copies are acceptable, but they must be IRS-certified copies, not just photocopies. Tax transcripts are easier to get.

3b) I do not believe it is mandatory for your husband to attend the interview, but search the forums for more information. If possible, get confirmation from his employer that his work schedule is set long in advance. You need to prove that you have a real marriage, but you have done this before when you adjusted status and when you removed conditions.

4) Both. You have to prove that you have a valid marriage, and you have to prove that you meet the criteria for citizenship. Again, review the Guides.

Thanks! I lived without lease in my friends house before marriage ))

So I will throw it out there that the N400 instructions require you to list your stepchildren.

You have said that you don't call them that but does USCIS call them that? I would think by legal terms (but I am not a lawyer nor have I slept in a holiday in express within the last year, so what do I know) that they are your stepchildren based on your marriage to their biological father.

1. You must list every address you have had within the time period, even if you were staying with friends or moving between places.

2. You need to list your stepchildren, even if you never see them. These are the biological children of your husband. Ask your husband for their birthdays and addresses, as need be. There aren't likely to be many questions about them, except perhaps if they live with you.

3. The process goes: file N400 package, biometrics appointment, interview, oath ceremony.

3a. Biometrics appointment: Go by yourself. Bring the letter, your green card, and photo ID (like driver's license).

3b. Interview: You can bring your husband, not necessary. Bring the letter, two passport photos, all requested identification on the letter, and additional material as you want. Search the forums for examples of what other couples took to their interview.

3c. Oath Ceremony: You can bring your husband, not necessary. Bring the letter, your green card, your photo ID, and any other requested information on the letter (like visas).

4. The purpose of the interview is to determine your good character, the fidelity of your marriage (e.g., not marrying to just get citizenship), that the information you provided is correct, you understand the laws and culture of the U.S., and you can communicate in English.

1) N-400: information about addresses - before my marriage I was on lease in few apartments, and then for a few moth I lived with my friend (not on lease) do I need to mention this location?

2) N-400: information about kids: my hubby and I don't have kids yet, but he has 2 kids from previous relationships(not married) they are not my step-kids, we see them once or twice a month.
