US Immigration from Colombia

My wife's interview has been set up for December 14th. On the Notice is a list of items to bring. One of the items is her passport. Her Passport is a Colombian passport and we've just recognized that it is expired. Does that matter? Do we need to jump through hoops to try to get her Colombian passport renewed within the next 34 days or can we just take the expired one? My thought process is that if we can take the expired one, I assume after getting her Citizenship she can get a US passport and we can use that to travel the next time we go to Colombia (nothing planned) and then renew her Colombian passport the next time we're in Colombia. Thoughts? Not sure why they want us to bring passport? Perhaps to confirm all trips outside the US?

This process is painfully slow its been two years now since my wife had Biometrics taken and now website finally says ready for interview. Wow crazy slow process.

Who knows how long it will take to get an interview date and then the green card........

Were in northern california the slowest

Hey all! I didn't see a thread for November filers yet. Thought I'd start tracking here.

I've applied for N-400, and I am considering stopping paying on a few credit cards. I have had my green card for 9.5 years and I applied for US Citizenship last month. It appears it should take about 7 months. Finances are very tight right now. I have not yet been late on any credit cards (never in the past 9+ years), but I am trying to plan ahead and consider the repurcussions if I were to stop paying on a few credit cards. I recognize this would not be good for my credit, but my one and only concern for this question is my N-400 US Citizenship application. My thought process is perhaps one/any of the examples below could cause a problem for my US Citizenship application under the "moral character" consideration of the application?

1) Can late pays on any of my credit cards on my credit report affect my N-400 Citizenship application?

2) Can Charge-offs on my credit report affect my N-400 Citizenship application?

3) If a creditor or collection agency were to file suit against me for non-payment of credit card debt, could that affect my N-400 Citizenship application?

4) If a creditor or collection agency were to win a judgment against me on a defaulted credit card debt, could that affet my N-400 Citizenship application?

5) Will they ask me anywhere in the process or at Interview if there are any outstanding legal proceedings against me? If a creditor were to file suit against me in the next 7 months, I would have to answer, "Yes." Could that affect my N-400 Citizenship application?

Thank you in advance for your responses.

Hi All - First, thank you to everyone on this site for your support and encouragement. Yesterday, after more than 10 months of waiting, we received our NOA2.

A few questions:

1. How long are visas taking with NVC right now?
2. What tips, if any, do you have for this step in the process?
3. Once in the US, can my fianc travel around the US with me? I d like to introduce him to my parents before we get married.

Thanks!
