Hey guys, I'm going to apply for Citizenship this week, I'm just waiting for my AR11 to go through as I had forgotten to notify of my address change since 2 years ago, apparently it's not that big of a deal but it's still worrisome, I could've sworn I did it but my USCIS doesn't show my profile with the current address so I submitted it just in case, also couldn't find any confirmation emails.

Ok, so long story short I got a speeding ticket (speed greater than 65mph) and 2 other correctable infractions (tint and registration sticker which was up to date but peeled/stolen), everything has been corrected with proof and paid in full (traffic school was completed to avoid insurance issues by having the point hidden), total paid was under $500 (around $480) BUT before infractions were corrected the total cost of the ticket was $800+ if that matters; This is the only time I've ever received a ticket in my life, other than that my record is clean, I was pretty bummed out about my perfect record being thrown out the window, but that's on me.

I need to know if I'm putting the answers correctly for this:

Have you ever committed a crime (or helped, tried to commit a crime, or asked someone to commit a crime) for which you were NOT arrested?

-NO

Have you ever been given a ticket for a traffic or moving violation, while riding on public transportation, or for violating public property rules? Do NOT include parking tickets.

-YES (traffic violation)

Have you ever been arrested, cited, detained, or confined by any law enforcement officer, military official (in the U.S. elsewhere), or immigration official?

-YES (ticket = citation as far as I understand)

Have you ever been charged with a crime or offense?

-NO

Have you ever been put on probation or parole or received a suspended sentence?

-NO

Have you ever been stopped or questioned by any law enforcement officer?

-YES (I had to be stopped for them to give me the ticket)

I'm also curious about this one:

"I give permission to share the information in this application and USCIS systems with SSA so they can update my immigration status and send me a new card. "

My SSN card was given along with my green card after my i-30 was approved, it doesn't have the "valid for work only with DHS authorization" stamp, should I click Yes still?

Thanks for your help!

I got my 10 year green card through consular processing and moved to the US in Jan 2023. My spouse is a US citizen by birth. I'm preparing to submit my N-400 later this month since it will be 3 years minus 90 days.

For evidence of marriage, should I submit evidence covering the last 3 years? I've only been in the US for 2 years 9 months. I do have evidence from when we were living overseas. Should I upload that as well?

Hello,

I'm going to apply to extend my permanent residency with the I-90 within 6 months of it expiring. The only reason for me applying is due to the expiry. Do I need to supply any other supporting documents other than a copy of the permanent resident card, two photos, proof of address, filing fee, and proof of identity? I read somewhere that I have to supply "documents to prove I'm still a permanent resident". Does this apply and what sort of documentation would this be?

Thanks for any help.

Hello everyone. I m a Brazilian married to a U.S. citizen for 10 years, and we both currently live in Brazil. We re planning to apply for the IR1 visa since we intend to move to the U.S. in early 2027. I m an army officer, and she s a dentist. My current income is above the poverty guideline, but hers is not. We plan to move when she s possibly accepted into a U.S. university to validate her dental degree. I d like to avoid relying on a joint sponsor what are my options?

P.S.

1. We have real estate and financial assets that together amount to roughly three times the poverty guideline.

2. When we move, she will receive a student loan that covers both tuition and living expenses for a couple, with a total amount exceeding 125% of the poverty line. Can this amount be considered?

I want to work in the US but I am uncertain on what I need to do. I'm looking to get information from someone who is a Canadian that went through this process.
