Hi everyone! I wasn t able to find a clear answer in past threads, so hoping someone here can help.

I submitted my citizenship application online a couple of months ago and am currently waiting to be scheduled for the interview. I m applying under the 5-year rule I ve had my green card for over five years now.

My green card was marriage-based, but my spouse and I separated after about four years and have since divorced. I have a divorce decree on hand, but I m wondering if I ll need to bring my marriage certificate to the interview as well. I ve moved to another state since then, and requesting the certificate from the city clerk would be a bit of a hassle so I d prefer to avoid it if I can.

Does anyone know if this is typically required in my situation? Would really appreciate any insights. Thanks in advance!

1. My mothers middle name is listed as an initial 'M' on my birth certificate, but her full middle name ,"Macy" , appears on her U.S Passport and Auto Driver License. In addition, her birthdate was recorded incorrectly on my birth certificate as 01/12/1970, while the correct date, as reflected in all of her official documents, including the U.S Passport, is 01/13/1970 or 13 Jan 1970.

2. Neither my fathers middle name nor his initial appear on my birth certificate, where his name is listed simply as "Roger Rabbit". However, his full legal name, "Roger Maxwell Rabbit" appears on his U.S. passport and driver's license. The name used in this form reflects his correct and legal full name as recognized by all current official U.S. documents.

Both of these are the issues as well as the responses I gave in the Additional Information section of form I-130. I've gotten advice to just remove these additional responses and not complicate it, so I wanted to know if this is normal or not, how to proceed, and if my explanation is thorough enough. Should I include copies of their passports for proof?

Hi, we submitted our I-130 petition in March this year. As we didn't submit the petition online, we dnt have an online account.

Do we receive a letter in mail when our petition is approved? I believe it's not possible to link our petition to an online account as we filed the paper version instead of submitting it online

Also, another question. Our receipt notice said at the bottom "Potomac Service Center " but just below that the address of the Texas Service center....does that mean anything?

Many thanks for your help

We are petitioning for my in-laws. They have a daughter that is 13 years old. Can she be added as a derivative on one of the parent's application or do we file her own application? I know sibling take a lot longer to process

Hi, I submitted my K1 Visa first week of May and received a rejection on my packet. Upon looking at the NOA I-797C Form. It states, "application not fulley completed. One or more following fields were not completed:

Alien Fiance Family Name

Alien Fiance DOB

I was looking through the packet i submitted and realize it was missing 2 pages of Form I129-F. But as I looked through the packet even more, it was at the back of the packet. My question is does it really need to be in chronological order? I mean, yes its my mistake, not sure how it got in the back, I thought I doubled checked it. But are they really lazy to not check fully? Like if its delivered how it is, then they will just accept it as is? Curious if anyone has gone thru this situation, I thought it does not matter. It was only two pages that was out of placed for the form I129-F. They even time stamp everything so Im surprise they didnt caught it. Just curious if it happen to anyone? Kinda sucks I gotta resubmit it due to missing pages but its not missing its just placed at the back of the packet (I-129F).
