US Immigration from Australia

Does anybody know if my grandchildren can become US Citizens. If so, what do I need to do?

No they don t live with me but visit a lot.

Hi - My N400 interview went well and my oath ceremony is scheduled for next month. The officer during my N-400 interview told me I need to bring my current (foreign) passport to the Oath Ceremony.

Did anyone else also experience & hear this from their officer during their interview? I want to confirm that my current (foreign) passport will not be taken from me at the Oath Ceremony. Thank you!

Hi all,

As we all know, plans don't always go to plan. Since applying for citizenship (and also, I'm still waiting for conditions to be removed) my husband and I have sold our house and are moving to another state.

We are under contract for a new home build and have the new home address, but likely won't close until the build is complete later in the year.

In the meantime, we will be staying with relatives for a few months. They live a few hours away and I've confirmed their address is serviced by another UCSIS location.

I know that I have to be upfront and keep USCIS up to date with my address, but in this scenario would I be OK to put the address of my new home that's under construction, and a PO Box for the mailing address? Or will I need to put my in-laws address and change address again once we've moved in? I'm guessing the latter.

Thanks

Looking for some advice / hoping to find people that have been in a similar situation & my apologies this is a long one.

Backstory: I immigrated from Australia on a K1 Visa at the end of 2018.

Married in 2018, recieved my Greencard in 2019.

In August of 2020, my husband and I decided to take some time apart.

Incase people want the nitty gritty details / incase it matters - he was getting out of the Military and was wanting to go home to Green Bay, WI to spend some time with his family while he planned his next career move.

At the time we were living together in Arlington, VA (this was where he was stationed) I had built a great support network of friends and had a stable job with great income and it didn't make sense for me to quit my job and move to Green Bay and have no combined income.

So in summary he went to Green Bay, WI & I stayed in VA working and I signed a lease on an aparment on my own and he was staying with his family in Green Bay, (no lease) and he was not working.

In September 2021 it was time for me to file for the removal of conditions. At this time I was still living solo in Arlington and working and he was still at home in Green Bay staying with family and not working.

In this packet I included:

- a personal statement signed by both myself and my husband outlining our current situation - (the fact that he was now living in Green Bay and I was in Arlington and that although we were living apart we were still in regular contact and had planned to reunite once he decided on his next career path, ((at the time he was considering joining a different branch of the military))

- Jointly filed tax returns for 2019 & 2020

- Our original lease agreement from Arlington from 2018 - 2020

- Joint Car insurance

- Joint cell phone bill

- A travel itinerary for my spouse to visit me in Arlington

- Vet records for our two dogs showing joint ownership

- 2 affidavits from friends

- Photographs

Fast forward to present day. March 18 2024 - I got an RFE asking for additional evidence to show my spouse and I entered into our marriage in good faith and continue to share a life together.

Now here is where I need the adivce.

While my husband and I entered into this marriage in good faith with all intentions of this being forever we are no longer together.

We are however still legally married.

We are on good terms but are completely individually self sufficient.

Is USCIS wanting an update on where this situatuon is at?

I guess I'm confused on what documentation to provide as all of the suggested documentation on the RFE is to support - as quoted on the notice "establish shared family planning, share responsibility for a common residence, hold ourselves to the public as a married couple or continue to share a life together"

And again while we are still very much in each others lives it's in a different capacity and there are no suggestions of what evidence to provide if you are no longer together.

There are a couple of suggested documents that I could provide but I'm not trying to prove we are still in a comitted marriage but I can prove we are still legally married (there has been no divorce filed) and we are on good terms.

We still speak almost daily, have joint health insurance, life insurance, we've visited each other over the years, have photos - but again we're not romantically together anymore.

Has anyone been in this situation?

If so what should I send in?

My husband now resides in Charleston, SC and has a new career

I still reside in VA and have a successful business.

In case it matters we do not have shared financials and do file our taxes together however married filing separately.

Any advice or input is grealty appreciated
