R78

It is suspended for now. But when it starts back up, you can call and have an existing application expedited

You can apply for a regular passport now and then upgrade for the "expedited" option later by calling the passport services number 

OR 

just wait and apply for expedited option when it becomes available. 

While you need to list all family members on your N400 (citizenship) application, only you, the beneficiary will go through the naturalization process.

Once you become a citizen (the day you take the oath & get the naturalization certificate), all your children under 18yrs automatically become US citizens. 

They can then apply for their own US passport with your naturalization certificate. 

You are in one of the fastest processing city  

Just hang in there

Other names are used for background checks (including nicknames).

This is a minor issue but you MUST bring this up during the interview. 

No photo to submit. 

They will take your photograph during biometrics.

Passport & valid I-94. 

If I-94 has expired, then I-485 notice that was filed ( which allows you to legally stay in the US pending adjudication)

If one BMV refuses, try another one. 

B & F are different classes of visas. 

You met the requirements for the B visa and therefore were granted one. You visited the US and departed on time. Great Job !

Make sure that you have all your documents in order for the F visa interview. This includes financial support. 

If your F visa gets denied, it should not have an impact on your B visa. This is assuming you did not lie during the interview.

Plagiarism is "academic dishonesty". It is neither a civil nor criminal offense and cannot be punished by law, unless there were copyright violations (in which case, if the author found out and wanted to, they could file charges against you).

Looks like in your case, the professor found out, put it on record & that was the end of it

You should be good to go for N400. 

Husband / Wife / Fiancee / Son / Daughter etc. are considered relationships. BF / GF ...not as much for this purpose. 

From a document standpoint, the best bet is to approach it as if she were coming here to study (without even knowing you). That means, show that she has enough funds for the first year (minimum), a bank loan approval would be best.

I highly doubt anyone will ask her if she has a BF. 

Another approach is for you to sign the financial affidavits of support for her education. 

You'll be fine. 

It is totally acceptable to take up another job in another company or state for better opportunities & money. 

Put your name exactly as listed on the BACK of the green card. 

I agree with geowrian. 

This could be percieved as a "federal crime" committed but not arrested. 

just to be clear:

- The oath is on the last page of the application, so you can read it (down form n400 - page 20)

- No one is forcing you to answer YES to the questions. However, if you do, you mean exactly what you state and will deliver on that commitment when asked upon to do so.

If you answer NO, you will still remain a Legal Permanant Resident of the US (as long as you continue to meet the requirements)....in other words, highly unlikely that you will become a citizen. 

I would list all addresses for the last 5 yrs

You should also google "N400 instructions", download the PDF and read pages 10-14 on what to take for the interview. 

Better, read all the instructions as they are very detailed on how to fill the form. 

1. Provide a photocopy of the front and back of your Form I-551 (Permanent Resident Card).

If you have lost your Form I-551, attach a photocopy of any other entry document or a photocopy of a receipt showing that you have filed Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card.

2. Photocopy of your current marriage certificate, divorce, annulment decree, or death certificate of former spouse.

3. Only If applying from outside the US: Provide two Passport style photos

4. FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL & THEIR FAMILIES ONLY

A. Form N-426 (Request for Certification of Military or Naval Service). If you are a current member of the U.S. Armed Forces, provide a completed and certified Form N-426. If you are separated from the military, provide an uncertified Form N-426

B Evidence of Military Service. If you ever served in the U.S. Armed Forces, provide a Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, DD Form 214, for all periods of service. If you are currently serving in an active duty status within the United States or abroad, you should submit a photocopy of your official military orders.

C. Spouses of Military Personnel have additional requirements. Refer to Naturalization Information for Military Personnel (M-599) for eligibility

1. Current green card 

2. Oath letter with the backside completely filled out in BLACK ink on the day of the oath

3. All former / expired green cards, EAD's , travel documents etc (if applicable)

4. A secondary ID such as driver license

5. If you traveled outside the country after the interview, it is advisable to bring your passport. 

I do not see a section "G" for form N400.

Not clear on why you are being pulled into secondary inspection but that is NOT considered as being detained. It is being "referred" for addtional inspection and is done many times when using Advance Parole (AP) or if a person has forgotten a document that needs more time for verification etc.

So for Part 12, question 23 - answer NO. 

If, after secondary inspection, you were put in a holding cell, this would be considered as "detained". 

Or if you EVER received a ticket  /citation (even traffic), you should answer YES and provide the date you were cited. If the date is over 5 yrs or you do not clearly remember, you may put an approximate month or year.

In your case, Questions 23, 24 & 25 are a YES

If you were sentenced, answer 26 , 27 & 28 appropriately with those specific dates

A big part of the N400 interview is to go over the application and correct any mistakes & provide detailed explanations. So it is very important that you take the court records with you for the interview.

Since you got your citizenship automatically when your parents applied & got approved for naturalization (form N400), you can't apply for a "Naturalization" certificate.

You are a derivate of this benefit and therefore, you should apply for certificate of "Citizenship" by filing form N600.

The cost of filing this form is $1,140 (only exception is that it's free for veterans & members of the US armed forces)

Processing time for Raleigh, NC is between 5.5-14 months

The questions are specific to a timeframe after the interview and before oath. So, in your case, since the ticket was before the interview, you should answer NO.

You should fill this form on the day of the oath ( i recommend once you reach the venue).

Anyone other than the applicant becomes the "preparer" and should state so on the application. This is perfectly OK to do. 

Why is he asking you to type ? Is it because is not fluent in english or cannot read / write that well ? The IO may ask him if he prepared the application himself (it was asked in my case). If he says Yes, and then does not understand the questions, or their meanings, then things will get messy (since he will be under oath)

Most of the info on the N400 should be true at the time of filing (unless the material change is significant). 

In your case, it would depend on how different the new job is from the old one. If it is a similar position but in a different company in the same area, I would not worry much

To apply at a "Passport Agency", you need to visit the DOS website, take an appointment and proof of travel within 2 weeks (itinerary). 

You should also agree to pay the expedited fee of $60.

If you do not have a computer generated itinerary or appointment, they may most likely refuse to see you.
