    Scandi got a reaction from Chancy in N400 based on three years- looking for feedback!   
    It will not delay anything. I uploaded new evidence about once a month while my N-400 was pending. The IO who interviewed me said it was a good thing as it gave her time to look through everything before the interview. No surprises. And depending on the amount of documents, likely less risk of getting the "decision cannot be made" if they have to take time after the interview to look through it all before giving you a decision. If it's just one or two documents they can probably go through it at the interview with you, but if it's more then they may not have the time to do so. So for me, it was sooo worth it to upload everything I felt I wanted them to have/see. The only thing I couldn't upload was my latest tax return transcript as we had filed our taxes only 3 days before the interview, so I brought the whole ~50 page tax return with me. The IO scanned it into their system and told me they don't like paper (hence she scanned it and didn't copy it), they prefer it electronical. So definitely upload if you can.

    I would like see this increase on Trump administration, i am pretty sure that the media would talk about that abuse every day, but it is in this administration they dont talk. Really what this administration is doing is getting money from people who pay to hire more officer to give free green cards to the illegal who are get in the country from the open borde,

    You always get a stamp when you enter as an LPR (not to confuse with the stamp they give to tourists). If he didn't get one then a mistake was made and he needs to go get it corrected with CBP. That stamp is the only proof of his status in the US until he gets his physical greencard, it's an important stamp.

    It appears you have been living together for a few years, two at least. That means you should have a massive pile of evidence by now. Many of us came on a K-1 visa and had not lived together more than a few weeks when we sent in our AOS, so we didn't have much evidence at all even at the time of the interview. Not any kids either, and we were approved just fine.

    You guys have it much easier, you have had years to collect evidence, many of us didn't have that privilege.

    Scandi got a reaction from OldUser in How do passports work with dual citizenship   
    I typically fly with Scandinavian Airlines as I mainly travel to Sweden. I enter the info for my US passport when I buy a ticket, but when I get to the check-in desk the SAS employees always change my info to match my EU passport instead (I give them both passports, and they are always completely uninterested in the US one, this is at LAX). Apparently they prefer that I use the passport of the country I'm travelling to. Never had any issues either way, so I don't care.

    If you only knew how often we see people coming to this forum asking for help after their lawyers screwed up their petitions/applications by giving very bad advice and straight out false information..

    Many wouldn't recommend it, me included. The online system is glitchy with the time stamps, so it's better to wait a day or two after your window opens up. What you see is an example of that time glitch. Other people have been able to submit their applications on the exact day, but their receipts had an earlier date on them which complicated things. There was even a VJ member who ended up getting denied at his interview for filing too early (he filed the same day he became eligible), he had to go through many hoops to get it corrected and was in the end approved.

    I'm wondering the same as Crazy Cat, did he take the oath? The interview itself doesn't make anybody a citizen. They take the greencard from you when you go for your oath ceremony.

    Lol yes, that was the best part of becoming a citizen, feeling 100% certain about getting rid of every "bonafide marriage" document that has been piled up for years and years. I couldn't get rid of it fast enough. I only kept the i797c and i797 documents, more as a memory than anything.

    Scandi got a reaction from OldUser in Interview required for ROC?   
    It's not always required, since you already had an interview for your AOS then you're less likely to get one for ROC. There are never any guarantees, but it's less likely. I too had an AOS interview and my ROC was approved just fine without one.

    Scandi got a reaction from Chancy in passed my interview but case status hasn't changed   
    Totally depends on your field office. I had a name change and only 3 business days between interview and oath, as an example. The name change document/form had been approved and signed by a judge the same day of my interview, so techincally I guess I could've had a same-day oath if they had still done those back then. 
     
    No judicial ceremony in my case, just a standard USCIS field office oath with no judge present.
