I’m not a frequent poster, but I appreciate quite a few members here a lot: 
@Mike E - I learn a lot from you. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. 
@SalishSea - to the point and in a “no BS” kinda way. Love the sarcasm, too. 
@Rocio0010 - congrats on your recent citizenship! You have educated many here on F1 and J1 myths
@Dashinka - always super nice and helpful, even when people are being stupid 
@TBoneTX - thanks for the countless laughs in some threats and the reminders/advice in others
@mindthegap - your patience with U.S. immigration is amazing. I’m rooting for you and regularly check in to see if your case has finally moved. 
 
I’m sure I’m forgetting some members. Great community here. Stay awesome. 

He told us privately.  After a couple of cancer remissions, it returned, and he decided that he didn't want to fight it yet again.  He was only in his mid- or late 30s.
 
Please refrain from sending messages to his widow, who continues to quietly use that account for her own process.

I was going to suggest something similar. It’s a super long shot and will most likely not work, but “Ask Emma” and calling is quicker (and cheaper) than flying home and then over to Japan again. It doesn’t really cost you anything either, so I would try that. 
Should this not be an option, I don’t see any other way than for you to dig up that notice. Once you do, the first thing you should do is take a picture of it or make some other sort of record of the receipt number. The next step is making a USCIS account where you register the case (so that you have access to it online). After that, make a paper copy and bring both copies to Japan. 
Should your letter be lost, you can either try and see if you can get another one (I personally wouldn’t trust USCIS will definitely do that, but you can try). If nothing else, as already suggested by @Mike E, you would need to file a new I-751.
I don’t know anything about the DoS side and the boarding foil, so I can’t add anything to that. Hopefully things will work out for you guys. For the future - and I can’t state this enough - please make (digital) copies of everything USCIS sends your way (and preferably that you send there).

Lol, we should all get together once a year and make a pyre out of all the new citizens’ USCIS paper records. Set it on fire and celebrate. 

I applied for a Burn permit thru the city to have a 55 gallon drum fire, but they still haven't approved it. They asked what I was burning, and I said USCIS paperwork. They said you will need a permit for a larger burn than a 55 gallon drum, so I wait.......

Mrs. T-B. found the one box dedicated solely to the [censored] Guayaquil consulate, and said, "I didn't realize that you had to go through all that."
 
The chief of the IV Unit there is now retired from the Foreign Service and is writing anti-immigrant pieces for a think-tank.  I have this mind-movie of plastering the contents of that box all over him with use of SuperGlue, then soaking him in honey and staking him in a field full of fire-ants.  I would then stand there and mildly observe (aloud), "See what just a taste of what you put us all through is like?"  I would surely be joined by at least half a dozen other petitioners of my era.  See the first 8 pages or so of:

As long as you have been present for at least half the time (30 months, 913 days, see here https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-4#:~:text=Applicants for naturalization under INA,days) before filing the application.), which from what you say seems like you have been, you should be good to go. Keep in mind though that physical presence is not the only requirement. 
Best of luck!

It would seem as I assume you are applying based on the 5 year rule.  Three weeks in July 23, and a couple of other cruises.  Count up the days you were outside the US since becoming an LPR and if that number is less than 913 days you are fine from a physical presence standpoint.
 
Good Luck!

The civics test is administered orally, and it’s not a multiple choice test. If you get the first six answers right, they’ll move on with the interview.
I’d recommend you have your kid use the materials @Mike E provided and be prepared to answer as closely to what is in those as possible. Also, have him/her memorize the names of your senators (technically, just one is required), the governor of your state, and your rep in the House. Best of luck!

If she is found to be ineligible to naturalize (fails civics test, fails english test, physical presence test, 3 month residency test, continuous residency test, etc), she remains an LPR.
 
Some N-400 cases will go through the entire immigration history. If it is determined she was improperly issued a 2 year or 10 year GC, then yes she might lose her GC (aka LPR status).  Here one of the most hideous cases I know of:
 
In this case, USCIS said it would not move to revoke LPR status, but said citizenship was off the table until I-407 / I-485 / new GC / 3-5 years of new LPR status. The couple split. K-1 and Conditional LPR status is so dangerous for and unfair to immigrant spouses and children.
 
In most USCIS districts, N-400s taking under 6 months. 
Hopefully online and not by mail.

As others have said, refile asap. Also, never assume that USCIS already have documents - even if you are 100% sure that you included them - especially when mentioned in an RFE. Always send them exactly what they’re asking for, no matter if it has been submitted before. 

I think we are not confused.  The I-864 is an agreement between you and the US government which stipulates that you will reimburse the government for any benefits she uses. 

You should not have to pay one penny to her as a consequence of the I-864.

Pending specific answers to everyone's current questions, I'm inclined to recommend that you find a capable (and bulldog) attorney who will file for revisions to the Support agreement now on file.

Howdy everyone!
Today I woke up to a status update: my N400 interview has been scheduled!!! August 30th at 8:00 am!!!
Anyhow, I was planning on bringing my copy of the 751 package, and updated evidence of the N400 from the time Of submission, and of course the documents they request in the letter. Any suggestions are highly appreciated!!
 
Tomorrow is my 40th birthday, this feels like a good birthday present. FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS A MI!!

She should get out of the house to safety NOW.   Call an abuse hotline or a shelter, or find friends to stay with.
 
Did she marry?
If yes, she should get out and consider filing under VAWA, if she has evidence.
If not, she should go home, as soon as possible (after first getting out).
 
If she was unaware of the criminal record, the Manila embassy dropped the ball and should be notified of this negligence.  If the petitioner failed to disclose his criminal history, talk to a FDNS officer at the local USCIS office.  However, her safety takes 100% priority over this.

Let us not forget all the spouse that are very happy this is not possible.
