Hello Everyone,
 
By the grace of God my mom is here with me. After hearing what everyone had to say, I was worried, but I have decided that I am going to trust God with this. And I am so glad I did because had I not, my mom would not be here today. 
There was so much confusion so my husband thought to call the customer service at the Dallas airport and ask if my mom who had an immigrant visa, would be allowed to enter the country. They asked if this was her first time coming to the US and after my husband said yes he was put on hold for about one minute. The customer service agent got back and told my husband her visa was verified. But did that mean she was okay to come? At that point I felt like this was God’s way of telling us, “ trust me, go bring your mom home.” I am a believer and I prayed a lot over this matter, thus I have decided that if God brought us to that moment He will get us to the end of this journey. All this was happening at 9 o clock in the morning, the morning of my flight to London. We left home, got to the airport kissed and hug my family and was on my way to London. After arriving to London I had to spend around 24 hours in the airport until my flight back home. I could have left but did not want to be forced into quarantine or so I thought. So the morning of the flight from London back home, my mom met me at the airport. The checking at the gate was a very smooth process; a gentleman came and asked us a few questions concerning our whereabouts prior to that morning. They did not seem at all concerned with us being in England, rather if we visited any other places/ countries. Then they told us they needed to do a bit more research, took my mom into a room and swiped her clothes with some small stripes that went into a machine for testing. I never went thru that kind of testing so I did not know what to expect. It all took about 5 minutes and we were told everything was okay. So we were on our way to US. When we made it to the US customs the gentleman asked us what kind of visa my mom has and again, if we visited other countries. They fingerprinted my mom, after they took us to the waiting room until they checked her paperwork. After about  10 minutes they gave us back her passport and Hallelujah, praise the good Lord we were heading to the security and on to catch our connection back home.
 
There is no doubt in my mind that this was God’s blessing. Ever since we started this process we had friends and family praying for us, our church was praying for us, we were praying...It was like we had a whole army of God praying for us. 
 
This was a very emotional journey for me, especially after my mom’s stroke that left her impaired, just two months after we petitioned for her. I thought we were going to lose her, but she pulled thru. I could not bare the thought of her bot being able to come live with us. But God had other plans and I am grateful for that. 
 
Praise God! Now we can enjoy our life together.
Everything is possible with God!
 
Wishing you all God’s blessings.

Agree with polinka_tlt,
By the way, one of my friend (Houston) who submitted the application 1-2 days before me already got interview notice last Friday, so I guess it will be our turns sometimes this week hopefully.

Taken from M-477 Documents Check List, you can send either Tax transcripts for the last three years, mortgages, leases, birth certificate of children born to you and your wife, or bank accounts owned together. It say "or", which means you do not have to send all of that info again. You can only send the tax transcripts, or send the proof of joint bank accounts, and so on. You can take everything else with you at the time of interview. Just keep in mind that even though USCIS may have everything on file, this is a different application, and whatever proof you submit it has to be for the last three years, not just for the recent year. At least this is what I understand from their checklist, and since they are asking for tax returns for the last three years.
Hope this helps. Best of luck to you.

You write 2, you include your current marriage in the count.

Yes, that's confusing indeed.

I wonder how someone can survive in the U.S. if he is not able to write simple sentences like the ones they ask for.
BTW, I had to read/write "We pay taxes".

hi
your son doesn't apply for citizenship. if he Is under 18 once you become a USC, he will automatically derive citizenship from you
the only thing you will do once you have the certificate is get a US passport for him
now, if you want him to have a certificate, which is optional, once you have your certificate, you can file the N600
the N400 only is for LPR over 18, if he is over 18, then he cannot file the N400 based on the 3 year rule, it is only for spouses of USC, children of USC have to wait for the 5 year rule

but since he is under 18, only the first part applies for him

1. I don't think your son needs to send anything. He will become US citizen automatically when you do.
3. Absolutely nothing, you can stay as resident till end of your life if you wish, you don't have to become citizen at all...

Precisely correct. They are really looking for things that may be potentially untoward like: "The People's Socialist Club" or, "The Communist Friends Society", or, something like, "The Police Unbenevolent Association".

Yes,Liz and Miguel,looks like there are still november filers waiting for Green Card approval.I am one of them, our file also is at CSC.It seems like it takes longer for CSC to process the AOS than other Offices!Hang in there!
