You asked a question and you received responses. Not sure how people responding to a question YOU ASKED on a public forum is them being 'emotionally invested'. People are just trying to help.
You may not think it protects the beneficiary. Your thought process is not the law. If it offends you so much, contact your congress person and ask them to change the law because you think it sucks.
As others have said, if this is a problematic request, you can decide to withdraw from the process and immigrate to your fiancee's country

You file the N-400 online. Include your divorce certificate in the documents you submit.
You will be asked to list marriages and divorces, and the form does ask for some basic information (name, DOB) of the previous spouse, but it does not ask for any information like passport numbers.

I never said there would be an issue. I just said it would not be true unless, at the time of filling out the form, you do have the documentation.

I would agree with Jeanne's advice not to feel guilty. They have made an adult decision to marry, hence they are responsible for making sure they do all the adulting things necessary to fulfill that adult decision. If that means another job or another sponsor, then that's what they have to do.

She's not in a great spot, from an immigration perspective. She is deportable and, given the length of her overstay, she will have a ban when she leaves the country.
If you were a US citizen, you could marry her, and then do an adjustment of status. Her overstay would be forgiven.
You are not a US citizen, so this option is not available to you.

The petitioner having a criminal record is less of an issue (unless it's Adam Walsh related): they will grill as.a means of ensuring the beneficiary knows who they are marrying.
A beneficiary having a criminal record is different. The information is less about the relationship being bonafide and more - in my opinion - about trying to figure out if the beneficiary would be a criminal risk once in the US.

The test isn't multiple choice, and the officer will ask the questions.
Don't sweat the test too much. A few minutes a day on the app, going through each question, and you will be fine!

Good luck, OP. You sound like a super happy person.

No it is not.

I didn't submit the transcripts with my N400, but I did take them with me for the interview. They were not asked for by the IO: he only asked me if I had paid my taxes.

So today ended my journey with USCIS - I became a US Citizen.
In terms of timeline, I submitted the application on February 5 2021. Biometrics were conducted July 2021. And interview (and oath ceremony) was today at the Charlotte Field Office.
For reference, I was a Diversity Lottery winner so I had to wait five years to apply. My life in the US has been reasonably boring (lived in the same place, worked at the same employer, no misdemeanours or tickets etc), but I did divorce my ex-husband.
Can't speak highly enough of the Charlotte Field Office. They have just nailed their processes - I was in and out within 2 hours - interview and oath included.

Hey team,
I filed for naturalization on February 5, did the biometrics on July 7 and have my interview scheduled for September 21 2021 at the Charlotte Field Office.
Am praying that my journey with USCIS ends that day!

People are asking questions about intentions because the OP is/wasdrip-feeding information. In order to solve the puzzle, people need all the pieces so that good advice can be offered.
OP, I have no advice to offer other than please stay safe and protect you and yours.

It might be easier for them to visit you, I suspect.

Your income status has nothing to do with her.
She has to apply on her own merits and prove why she will leave the US. If she was denied once, and HER circumstances haven't changed, she will likely get another denial.

From memory, Melbourne doesn't do immigrant visas. All immigrant visas go through Sydney.
I'm not sure about your other question, but I'm sure a helpful member of the site will be able to assist.

Lawyers aren't paid to play it safe. They are paid to make money.
If playing it safe makes them money, then that is what they will do. If playing it unsafe made them money, they'd be just as keen to take your money.

Naturalization is the least of their problems, I would imagine.
