    Don't stress about it, you will be fine. Most people here do not bring attorneys with them even in complicated cases, and yours is pretty straight-forward. I have an N400 interview based on 3 year rule but was asked exactly 0 questions about my marriage. I assume this is what a standard 5 year rule interview will be like. Plenty of people share their experience on this website - perhaps read some posts before your interview if you still feel nervous then?

    It does then say "or associated with" so I understand OP's concern; however agree with OldUser that USCIS would not consider serving in the US Army under this category.

    I'm sorry things didn't work out with your spouse. In addition to above, if I were in your position, I would also screenshot/save all the conversations between you & your spouse discussing your relationship and ending things amicably JUST in case something happens in the future, and your spouse becomes bitter & decides to make things difficult for your immigration journey. Not that they can but always good to cover your bases.

    These are not the tourists he wants.

    Our Denver FO IO was complete opposite: zero emotions on his face, not friendly, no greeting beyond the formal 'hello', didn't even look like he was listening to any of our answers, started the interview by grilling my husband about why he's there with me... Glad your experience was much more pleasant! My husband has exam anxiety, and when asked about how we met, he started from so far away that about 5 minutes into my husband's rambling IO had to rush him to the point when we actually met 😅 I was mortified.

    He probably meant "we did not get married OR applied for AOS". Come on, let's not make crazy assumptions even if OP left the day after entering on K-1.

    Speaking solely about my personal experience: I was employed for 7 years without work authorization before marrying my husband who is a US citizen. I have always used my SSN / filed my taxes but never lied about my legal status on paper (I worked in places that didn't thoroughly check legal documents to be frank). I consulted an immigration lawyer about this when I started preparing my AOS paperwork. And, following his advice, wrote in "odd jobs" in the form from back in the day when it asked to list your employment history (it probably changed since 2016 so not sure about wording now). I was never asked about this during my AOS interview, and it was never brought up by any USCIS agent during my journey to become a citizen.

    Then time to focus on self-healing before getting into another relationship with anyone.

    Would you have tolerated same treatment from a person not from US?

    Thank you, OldUser, for the reminder to update my immigration status with SSA and all the tips! I searched for my local office direct number, called them & was prepared to wait for some time, received another call and placed my call with SSA on hold, and when I switched back few minutes later - an agent was patiently waiting for me & scheduled my appointment. So for all of you who had to wait for them to answer your call for hours - this is for you! I made SSA listen to my hold music while I took care of my other business 😅

    Yes

    The only things I submitted for my N-400 (filed online under 3 year rule) aside from required documents were tax transcripts, and not even for 3 years, just 2 (I added the latest one once filed online). No issues with approval.

    Your scenario is quite common, do not fret. I came here on a tourist visa in 2009, changed status to F1 but didn't maintain it & was out of status for over 5 years. Had one horrible marriage very early on that also ended in disaster but then remarried years later and filed for AOS. Now a citizen.
