Hi

I was wondering if the photo taken during N400 biometrics will be used on my naturalization certificate later. 
 

I have read some reviews on how you should probably bring 2 passport style photos for the interview later, but I assume this is for the passport, not the naturalization certificate?

I have read posts regarding this few years ago, but not sure if it is still the same case now. any recent updates on this? 

Yes has been more than 3years since greencard. 

I am eligible to apply for N400 in NY based on marriage. (3year) But there’s a possibility that I would be working in SF while my husband works in NY. Would this cause problems in terms of the marital union during N400 interview? 

What would be some proofs of residence?

I have my lease contract, utility bills, driver's license, health insurance...

1)

In May 2019, I moved from MA to NY. But since the end of May, I was out of country due to an internship + travel. I am still out of country and I will return to the States in mid-January.

I know the 180-day rule, so I will make a short visit to the US(1-week) next month before the 180 day mark. Will I have a problem at the customs next month when I make a short visit to the States?

2)N400 if moved to a new state - 90days rule:

In mid-January 2020, I will return to the States and won’t leave the country much. However I hope to begin my N400 process ASAP. Would it be ok to apply for N400 in January even though I wasn’t physically living in the recently moved state for more than 90days? I have been “residing” in NY but I wasn’t in the country…   

* I have been eligible for N400 since July this year. 

Hi,

My CG has been expired and I am currently stuck in the long-lasting pending I-751 status. I left the US end of May 2019 to travel in Europe. Recently, I started a 3-month internship in France which will end in December. I was worried about the 6-month out of country rule so I plan to visit the US in mid-november(less than 180days but close), spend about 5 days and come back to Europe.

Once my internship ends, I intend to go back to the States maybe early January for long.

Is my travel plan to risky to pass the US immigrations? I never intend to stay in Europe for long, but this short-term internship opportunity is very important for me. 

Will I bump into a problem when I travel back to the US in mid-November? (less than 180days but close).  

Yes i did. I did not travel much until May this year. 

So I have resided in NY state since early May this year. I moved to ny from a different state and changed the address around the same time. 

Since June, i have been abroad traveling. I am planning to go back to the states in October for few days and travel abroad gain for about 3 more Months. 

I was hoping to apply for n400 in oct when im physically in the States. 

I know, it might be just easier to apply for n400 after i finish traveling right? So prob like early next year...?

Sorry i meant can you apply for n400 while abroad??

Hi,

I filed I-751 in Sep 2018 and am still waiting for the ROC to be approved. (fingerprint reviewed in Nov 2018 and no update since then, vermont office)

I am eligible to apply for N400 but I am not sure if I can apply or not. I have seen some postings on combo interviews, but I am afraid to do so. 

Also do you have to apply for N400 while abroad? Even though the application is done online?

One more additional question:

I am eligible to apply for N400 now but am currently waiting on I-751 approval that I submitted last October. Is it better to wait on I-751? Or should I just apply for N400 now, hoping that I-751 will be approved before N400 is done?

Even if I work in, let's say, San Francisco, can I still apply for N400 in NY? My husband and my address is based in NY. Do I have to somehow prove that we travel between NY—SF?

Actually we have been living apart for about 6 months due to my job situation. NY - Europe. I was planning to go back to NY but it's most likely that I might get an offer in the West Coast. Would this become a problem?

Hi, 

I am currently waiting on I-751 and it has been 3 years since we got married. I'm just planning to apply for N400 when I-751 is done but there might be a possibility that I would have to work in the West Coast while my husband is in NY. Would this be violating the marital union requirement? 

Wow, thank you so much. So even though I am not physically present in the US in June, July, August, I can still apply let's say late September after coming back to the US? The immigration attorney recommended me to wait 3 months and don't take any risk. I wonder if this is even considered as taking a risk....sounds like I can apply in Sep.

I am moving to NY (different state) in May. From the end of May, I will be traveling abroad until the end of September. When can I apply for citizenship regarding the 90-day continuous residence in the same state rule? I will have all the proofs that show my continuous residence in NY during those times I will be abroad...(driver's license, lease, rent, joint account, utilities)

Should I file N400 90 days after I come back to the states? Or can I file after 70 days after coming back since I was in the US in May (roughly 25 days)?

I might need to travel abroad for 2 weeks in December.. does this mean I should wait another 90 days to file N400? I just don't want to risk.
