  1. Send what you got (can't sent what you don't have). I personally would only sent bills/statements (etc) for every quarter instead of every month but that's just me. Your going to get an interview anyway (I don't think many people get those waived anymore) and that's where you can explain these things (if they even are going to ask)
  2. Here we go; - No joint bank account - No joint credit cards - House was on the Misses name only - All utilities bills in her name - No photos - I was added to her car insurance but we each had a car in our own name. - My cellphone was on her plan. - Family health insurance through her work - INCLUDED THE DRIVERS LICENSE of the both of us (it has the same address of course) apparently that one gets overlooked. - Tax returns filed jointly. We had our reasons to not mix our finances, we explained why and the officer found it a solid reason. The refusal rate is pretty low so I'm going on a limb here and say "you'll be fine".
  3. I can second this statement. Also isn't there some wording in the letter stating to bring evidence if you were required to register? Or something to the effect of "bring along evidence of the following if required to do so"? I remember reading the thing and initially having the same thought and then rereading it and deciding it did not apply to me
  4. OMG I cannot believe it, you hit the absolute jackpot. Not only did you find a friendly and knowledgeable DMV employee. You found one in Ocala. Do you have any idea how rare that is (way way back I was a Dixie county resident so I can make fun of Ocala). Faith in humanity almost restored
  5. https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/form-i-9-resources/handbook-for-employers-m-274/60-completing-supplement-b-reverification-and-rehire-of-form-i-9 No reverification is needed for the I-9. Therefor no new I-9 is required. HR should know better then to ask for it but I'm sure they will want to redo the I-9 because why learn the rules if you can look a handout taped to your screen (yes I have issues with people relying on handouts without knowing where the actual info is from). Is there a major issue with telling them? No there is not. Most likely your colleagues will be excited for you so why not share it. However you are not required to inform them.
  6. This!!!!!! At my ceremony (many moons ago) they made a bunch of people change the city into Norfolk (my field office) instead of their home city. The form states in the instructions you are to fill it out at the day (or morning of) the ceremony.
  7. Yes this is within normal operating procedures. The card production is automated (needs someone to actively cancel it's production. The oath scheduling is not. Don't be surprised if the card shows up after the oath or before or never or at your neighbors house.
  8. Ok, so this is the point we need to intervene. The old guard here knows what you are going thru and it's time we've had a chat with you.🤣😂 Step away from the paperwork. Put it back in it's box/drawer and leave it alone. You have done what was required. You have been informed that you are recommended for approval. Now it's time to stop looking for problems and just wait for the process to run it's course. You have no more influence over any of this. If they want something they will contact you. Breath (in and out is advisable) and go do something else. I you haven't heard anything in 120 days it's time for you to do something again. And no sneaking a peak at the stuff when you think we're not paying attention either.
  9. If I remember correctly, I signed at the ceremony. Also there were a bunch of people that had to change the location into the field office instead of there home town. But it has been several years
  10. Assuming anything with the USCIS is always wrong.😎 It could be a couple of days, it could be much much longer. I had a pending I-751 that could not be closed due to the entry envelope being missing from my file. It showed up just before my N-400 interview. I was lucky that my interview was by someone high up at the field office and being the last one of the day. She was able to approve my I-751 after the interview and I got the message while still in the car heading home. My N-400 was approved shortly after that (day or 2 I think).
  11. She should have a list of all of them when she reported the change of address with the USCIS. If any are from the 2 years in Jamaica (if she's going the 3 year route) those were disclosed during the visa part. (One of the many reasons you should always keep your past papers until you have the US passport in hand). The info she provides now needs to line up with the info they already have.
  12. They need to close/approve the I-751 first. After that they can officially approve the N-400. Not all interviewers have the same rights/seniority so it may take a while before they approve the cases.
  13. Very unlikely this will cost you your citizenship unless they are looking for a technicality years down the line. You did not lie during your interview. You stated you did not owe taxes and signed the whole thing "to the best of your knowledge" If it was known the USCIS would have had the data already. You were informed today and dealt with it so I really doubt this will become an issue. Should you end up dealing with USCIS for whatever reason down the road (petition for someone else?) and the question gets asked if you have ever owed back taxes, then you do need to report it.
  14. There is a real change that they don't even notice it. I seriously doubt it will turn into anything more than an RFE. Else you can clear it up during the interview.
  15. Bring it all and be prepared to show nothing. They'll want to see the greencard, the passport and maybe the latest tax return (if they didn't find it for you). If you get the same day oath (depends on your office) hand in the greencard and any other cards you still may have from USCIS (EAD/AP card).
  16. Use the search option in this forum. If I'm nor mistaken there is a post somewhere where USPS lost the certificate and ended up paying for it's replacement. I'm assuming it must have been damaged while in USPS possession. So I would see if you can hold them liable.
  17. Apart from the "test" they also go over the whole N400 form with the applicant to make sure all answers are correct (and if not they change them). So you may want to spent some extra time with him going over the form and his answers.
  18. I didn't even bring my wife. I only uploaded what was required. (I think the tax returns were required but I can't remember). I brought everything with me though but it was never asked for anything additional
  19. https://www.uscis.gov/save Well that's a fun one. Its a system run by the USCIS. If you got your License issued and your Social security card issued without this being an issue, I would leave it alone. I think those are the only 2 times you deal with SAVE
  20. I'm not. I'm sure it's not on the printed hand out that is taped right next to the system login and password on the monitor. It's not exclusive to DMV it's human nature.
  21. Do not use the "in care of" unless you your using an address that is not yours. You fill out your mailing address and your physical address. Leave it blank or N/A it (check the instructions) The "in care off" is a way for the USPS to deliver mail that is not addressed to the actual resident. It should be used for stuff like; having your mail delivered at an hotel having stuff addressed to you but delivered to your parents while you are over you for the holidays. have mail delivered to an office for a specific person By law the USPS is not allowed to deliver mail to address that is not yours (nobody cares anymore but it's still there). USCIS has to give the option for you to abide by the postal laws.
  22. The invitation to the oath is the first time they officially mention the return of the green card(s). It states to return all cards that are in your possession and were issued by the USCIS. You can't turn in what you don't have and the filed police report is the proof you don't have it. File the police report (More a "cover your rear" move then anything else) Wait for the 10 year card and file the N-400. (It has always stated it can take up to 60 days that is their "cover your rear"move).
  23. it can go either way with them. I-129F was taking around 6 months when I filed (till visa in hand). Took about 10 months to have the visa back AOS was taking around 14 to 16 months when I filed. Had that one in hand in 2 months. ROC took 2 years when the people around me got it done in less then a year. N400 would have been fast again with about 3 months, but then COVID happened. it all depends what box your file is in, what room the box is in, what service center you end up in and what consulate you get to deal with. And that is without even looking at the petition, cause there are several months worth potential delays in that as well. (RFE's, back ground checks, AP etc etc)
  24. More important to me. How much does that run you now. Last time I looked it was already over $500,= and I'm sure its higher now. That's why I drove to DC to get my passport when I needed it. Had both in hand in 2hrs.
  25. Not according to State department Do you still have the passport in your possession? Note: If you want to renew both a valid passport book and passport card, you must submit both documents. For example, if you can submit a passport book, but you lost your passport card, you cannot renew the passport card. If you want to renew either a valid book or a card, you must submit the specific document you want to renew. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/how-apply/form-finder.html
