My wife's green card will expire soon. We're filling out Form I-90 to renew. Besides her passport, a copy of her current green card, birth certificate, proof of residence, etc... what supporting evidence do we need?

Hi, my husband and I have lived in his home country in Latin America for over a decade. We have a house, two kids in school, and are well established here. He has had multiple tourist visas and we've visited my family several times over the years. His current visa was issued for ten years and expires late 2026. We'd like to visit my family in June for a few weeks during the kids' summer vacation. However, he recently quit his job and is still looking for other opportunities. I didn't think it would be an issue, but a friend who works as an immigration paralegal told me he shouldn't try to visit without being employed, under the current administration, because they will think we want to stay and deny his entry. I feel like as a family we have good strong ties to his home country and a history of making this sort of trip, but wanted to ask if anyone has had similar experiences under the Trump admin?
Thank you!

Twelve years ago, I brought nuts but forgot to declare them on the customs form. Later, the officer mentioned that I should have declared them. She gave me a verbal warning and told me not to do it again. I did not pay fine or written notice either. For the next five years, every time I crossed the border, I was pulled over and checked. I am now applying for the N-400. Do I need to report this in my N-400 application? If I have to, which section should I report this incident in?

Starting a new thread to document this minor but expensive annoyance.

I understand that there can be delays in getting back my naturalization certificate, but I applied in January 2025. It's now May and I still haven't received it.

My timeline:

• Jan. 27, 2025: applied at USPS for a passport book and card. The employee took my original certificate of naturalization. Paid for expedited processing
• Jan. 30, 2025: Dept of State confirms receiving my passport application
• Feb. 6, 2025: received my passport book in the mail
• Feb. 12, 2025: received my passport card
• Mar. 31 / Apr. 14 / May 1, 2025: called the National Passport Information Center to follow up my naturalization certificate. Finally, on May 1, they confirmed they couldn't find it and sent me instructions to get reimbursed.

Now I have to file USCIS Form N-565 to get a replacement certificate, pay $555 and file another set of documents for DOS to reimburse me.

Good morning. My husband (US Citizen) applied sent in I-130 back in 2019 for his sister (Japanese citizen). Yesterday, he received an email that they assigned a new receipt number to the case. Does this mean anything regarding movement on the case? It seems pretty fast. Why would they assign a new case number? Thanks for any insight you can provide, Google searches are turning up empty.
