    Errata sheet? Just a letter since this is an online application?
  3. Stein started following Due to file for Removal of Conditions in April, but wife is expecting baby in May - how best to proceed? , Error on N-400 - number of times married (Merged) , Error on N-400 - number of times married and 6 others

    On my wife's N-400 it says I ( USC spouse) was married two times. I was married three, two before and to her. On all other applications, I-130 and I-751 it lists all three and we have always sent in both divorce certficates. I did upload both with the N-400. Should I do something before her interview which is May 20 or just have her point out the error as soon as they start the interview? We have always sent both divorce certificates on all applications. I'm sure they will see the error.

    OK. I'm going to just keep quiet and let her keep studying them. It can't hurt!

    Actually, my wife has been studying a list of "definition" words. I don't know where she found it but it must have been on some Vietnamese user group. There are 100 words or phrases with definitions. Words like "parole" "conviction" "pardon", etc. The two questions the person above was asked are also two of the words or phrases that my wife is studying. This is in addition to the 100 civics questions. I haven't heard of this before she started studying them and haven't read anyone else's interview summary that asked these questions but she was adamant that some interviews include these questions. The post above is the first confirmation that I've heard of it.

    Correction, we filed one I-751, not two. They arrived at the same time.

    We just received notice on the USICS site that my wife's N-400 interview has been scheduled. I assume this is a combo interview but there is nothing on the letter that states that it is. If it is a combo interview does the letter state that both she and I attend? Also, my wife's 17 year old daughter immigrated with her. Does she need to attend for eith the I-751 interview or the N-400 interview? We did file I-751 for each.

    Just received notice on th USICS site that my wife' interview was scheduled for May 20. Lucky timing because we leave for vacation May 23 for 8 days. We filed 1/25 which was right at the 90 days before 3 years.

    File an amended return for your 2022 return and add her and her SSN. The good news is you will get a refund as your standard deduction will go up from single to married. I did this as well as I was living overseas with my wife until her visa was approved. When we got to the US I filed an amended return as married filing jointly.

    We did have my wife's daughter do an extra year although she arrived in US after almost completing grade 9 when we moved (only 6 weeks left in the school year). She would have also graduated at age 17 if she went into grade 10, although a few months older than your daughter. We elected to have her do Grade 9 again for the same reasons you are thinking - more math, science and English as well as to put her in school to graduate at a normal 18 years old. What i don't know if your daughter can do is repeat grade 12 after she already graduates from high school. That would be something to discuss with your local school system. You should call the school district. I think they would be rather helpful. If she can, it might be wise to repeat grade 12 for more math/science as well as English, and most importantly, eliminate your original question of whether she enrolls in college as in-state or foreign student as she would have graduated from a US high school. If they absolutely won't let you repeat grade 12 after graduating from her home school due to some rule it may even be worth considering not letting her complete grade 12 at home with an incomplete at the very end of the year. Again, a discussion for your present school district.

    I filed single from Vietnam (stayed there during COVID) and then filed an amended return when we got to the US and she got her SSN. Got a refund due to extra standard deduction for being married.

    Not directed specifically at the OP, but why is it we see people always seem to need to urgently travel right after citizenship oath? Seems like there is a thread like this every week.

    I think he was thinking it was a good piece of evidence of a bona-fide marriage and wanted to include it. I understand where he was going on this and his asking of delaying only a month to include this evidence. I also agree with everyone else to move forward as early as possible with the filing.

    When 50% of the US citizen population can get 6 of 10 right they can make it harder.
