hello, applied for both of my parents on June 2023, case went to actively reviewed in august and September 2023. haven't heard anything since - anyone in a similar situation? thanks

Hi everyone, I became a U.S. citizen last year through the 3 year marriage green card process. I know that when you are a resident you have to file jointly in your taxes but now that I am u.s. citizen and my spouse is also a u.s. citizen, do we have to file jointly or can we file separately? Thanks in advanced!

Anyone know what to do when all the clerk offices and USPS and libraries are booked months in advanced?? in houston tx and cannot find an appointment

The officer at my ceremony strongly encouraged it as a lot of people’s certificates go missing when they get their passports so idk!

I can’t get a real person and then when I say to the bot certified copy of certificate it asks me if my application has been open since 30 days which makes no sense? I’m a us citizen now.

At my oath ceremony, USCIS officers were telling us to make an appointment at our local uscis to get a certified copy of our naturilzafion certificate in case the passport folks lose the certificate. I’ve tried to call the 800 USCIS number but I haven’t been able to make an appointment. anyone have any tips on how to make an appointment to get a certified copy?? Or any other ways to obtain a certified copy of my certificate? Thanks!

Just got an email that oath ceremony was scheduled!! April 27!!! Feeling lucky!!

Hi please update us on how your interview went! Hoping the best for you.

I’m pretty sure it’s just oral, no multiple choice

My citizenship interview is literally 2 weeks from today! I think I’m good on the civic test but just wanted to confirm. for the questions that do NOT ask you to name one or two items, for example, what is the rule of law? there are 4 answers. Do we need to memorize all? Or just one. There are some questions in which they ask you to only name 1 or 2 answers but what about the ones that don’t ask you that? these are the questions I’m referring to: What does the Constitution do? ▪ sets up the government ▪ defines the government ▪ protects basic rights of Americans What did the Declaration of Independence do? ▪ announced our independence (from Great Britain) ▪ declared our independence (from Great Britain) ▪ said that the United States is free (from Great Britain) Under our Constitution, some powers belong to the federal government. What is one power of the federal government? ▪ to print money ▪ to declare war ▪ to create an army ▪ to make treaties Should we know all or just 1 answer?

Thank you all! so far I have these documents to prepare for a combo interview, let me know if I’m missing something? - my passports - copy of gc - drivers license matching current address - previous drivers license matching old addresses - house deed - mortgage statements with both names on it - tax transcripts for the last 4 years of filing jointly and tax returns just in case - original marriage certificate - original US spouse citizenship certificate - life insurance with beneficiary info - 401k with beneficiary info - ROTH IRA with beneficiary info - previous leases with both names on it - AAA car insurance with both names on it - AAA home insurance with both names on it - bank statements all the way to 2019 with both names on it - copies of matching credit cards to show we share a joint credit card account (so same cc but with our names) - utility bills - they only have my spouse name but show me as an authorized user - wifi bills on my name and on her name we have the gas, water, electric (but I am authorized user for all) then we have the less important such as: - trip itineraries - photos - showing same informed delivery throughout the years (both of us getting mail to the same address) - concerts - dog pet insurance info

I’m not asking about requesting a combo. Just wanting people to give me their experience at the local houston office if they had a combo interview and what documents they brought with them.

Do you need to get the mailed ones or can you just download the transcript online?
