We are on time (Sunday) with our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== THE MAGIC WORDS A little boy wanted his toy, so he went to his mother and said, "Mom, give me my toy." His mother said, "What are the magic words?" The little boy said the magic words, and his mom gave him his toy. The next day, the little boy started Kindergarten. At snack time, the little boy wanted some juice, so he walked up to his teacher and asked for a juice box. The teacher said, "What are the magic words?" The little boy said the magic words. However, the teacher became upset, and she called the little boy's mother and asked her to come in for a meeting. When the three were sitting in the room together, the teacher asked the mother, "Have you been teaching your son sarcasm?" "No," the mother said. "Why, what did he do?" "Well, he asked for a juice box," said the teacher, "and I asked him to say the magic words, and instead of saying 'please,' he said, 'You're thin and you're beautiful.'"

Awful and enraging. Get a half-hour initial consultation with 2 different lawyers. These are usually free or cheap. Consider small-claims court. Contact the Better Business Bureau. Consult (and really lay into) your property manager, if any; neighbor should've reported this to them first. Contact the Consumer reporters of your local TV stations -- your video will be priceless to them. Let us know how you proceed and what ultimately happens.

For the first time in recorded human (and chimpanzee) history, we have neglected to post our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke in timely fashion, so here it is: =========================================== THREE GOOD ONES As I get older, I don't really sleep any longer; it's more of a doze between pee breaks. I'm adopting a healthier lifestyle. Now I park and walk inside to buy donuts, instead of using the drive-through. My grandson asked, "Do trees poop?" I said, "That's where #2 pencils come from."

Hmm... I have no experience and will defer to others, but I think now that perhaps you should not upload this order (or anything else not required in the N-400 instructions). Instead, bring it all to your naturalization interview along with evidence that you've faithfully complied by paying. We'll see if others here concur.

Unless others here say it's unnecessary, I think that you can. It shouldn't hurt anything. Unless something in your background indicates otherwise, I've not heard that these are necessary. If you want, obtain one (don't go overboard) from someone of authority -- a minister is one example. It should say how/how long/how well he's known you and affirm that you're a decent guy. The affiant should include his contact information. Avoid overthinking things and worrying too much. You're applying under the 5-year provision?

Thread is shifted from the US Citizenship Case Progress subforum to the main USC forum.

This imaginably happens routinely, and USCIS will be used to it and dealing with it.

These are typically far bulkier than transcripts are -- another justification for having and using transcripts.

Old thread is now closed to further comment. Feel free to start your own thread.

"Aboard" was changed to "Abroad" in the thread title, to avoid misreading.

Houthi Regime Leadership Demolished in Single Masterful Israeli Attack The Israeli Air Force launched a major airstrike on Houthi political targets in Sanaa, Yemen, on Thursday, killing the Houthi prime minister, defense minister, and chief of the general staff. This was the result of a fleeting bit of actionable intelligence that determined the Houthi hierarchy would gather in several locations to listen to a babbling rant by Houthi chieftain Abdul Malik al-Houthi. This allowed a single Israeli strike to decapitate the regime. Some social media sources allege that Israel lured the Houthi leadership to a single location using a deception operation akin to the one executed against Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps [...] https://redstate.com/streiff/2025/08/29/houth-regime-leadership-demolished-in-single-masterful-israeli-attack-n2193372
