We clearly have a different view when it comes to sending info. I'm a firm believer in following the instructions and base it on that and keep it to a minimum. You like to cover everything possible and go with that. Neither option is wrong and both can be right. People read these forums and start panicking because they don't have one piece and completely overlook what they do have. I'm just trying to point out that you can follow the instructions and are not required to cover all bases. I would have been one of the last ones who would most likely have gotten the ROC with an interview waiver. Around my filing date there was a policy change (the first round of the current administration) that meant everybody got to go to an interview at least once. (Either AOS or ROC). As my AOS was done without an interview (also bare minimum filing) I knew my ROC would be an interview. I saw even less reason to front load. I did bring everything with me to the interview though. The OP had a Canadian flag showing so I'm assuming we're dealing with a Canadian national. This is about as "low fraud country" as you can get and yes that does make a big difference.

Also you do not have to sent your original certificate in. It clearly states in point 1 that a certified copy is allowed (obtainable at the field office as a "certified and true" copy). The person taking your application may not like it, but state department trumps post office clerk. And DS-11 trumps printed handout taped to monitor or desk.

The state department can request additional information. The post office employee cannot. Foreign passports are not on the list so that's a "no" also temporary licenses are specifically excluded on the instructions. Pages 1 point 2 https://eforms.state.gov/Forms/ds11_pdf.PDF

You don't need a license to apply for a passport. your certificate is a valid form of ID and proof or citizenship (see the instructions of the DS-11)

Virginia pulls from DMV files and voter registration. We couldn't register to vote after the ceremony (most offices were still locked down due to COVID) but the jury duty letter arrived about 2 weeks after the oath. Joke was on them. All courts were suspended as well so I got excused for all 4 weeks (And they said COVID was a bad thing).

Yes this is normal, yes this will eventually change in. "approved" and then "waiting for oath schedule" and then "oath has been scheduled" and no, refreshing the mail, internet page or online app does not speed up this process (trust me we have all tried that trick). And sometimes they are really evil and throw random statements in there. (though I think they've gotten better). They had to approve the 751 before they could do the "quality control" could be a few more days.

You can mention it at the beginning of the interview, do the Errata sheet handing over thingy or wait till they go over every question with you and correct it then. (I would go with the mentioning it at the beginning of the interview myself). You do have to mention it. As for lack of paperwork: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/n-400instr.pdf page 20 last paragraph. "Note that unless a traffic incident was alcohol or drug related, led to an arrest, or seriously injured another person, you do not need to submit documentation of traffic incidents."

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)

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".

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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
