N400, 3 year rule - Getting ready to file
TBoneTX replied to Pat2021's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
It should. If you don't have wills, powers of attorney, and other estate documents, these are excellent evidence -- and even more valuable to have in "life." This. Unsure of what your form is; others can comment. There's your answer. Optional. However, a question: Your timeline doesn't show I-751 information. If yours hasn't been approved, and your N-400 application "forces" adjudication of the I-751, then your wife would have to attend the combination interview. Not as such. You'll be scheduled for your Oath sometime later. After you have your Oath ceremony, you can apply for a passport at the posted fees. Get a passport book with extra pages (no extra cost). If you travel by land to Mexico or Canada, also get a passport card (see posted fee). Update your citizenship status with Social Security, state of residence, et al. -
VAWA, Part 27
TBoneTX replied to TBoneTX's topic in Effects of Major Family Changes on Immigration Benefits
Our jokes are really effective (see above)! Accordingly, here's our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ================================== PUNNY THOUGHTS I saw a theft at an Apple store, so that makes me an iWitness. I'm Buzz Aldrin, second man to step on the moon. Neil before me! To the person who stole my laptop with my copy of Microsoft Office on it: I will find you. You have my Word! To the person who stole my glasses: I will find you. I have contacts. To the person who stole my place in line: I'm after you now! To the person who stole my limbo stick: That was a new low. To the person who stole my dictionary: I have no words. To the person who stole my bed: I won't rest until I find you. To the person who stole my depression medication: I hope you're happy now. To the person who stole my case of energy drinks: I hope you can't sleep at night. To the person who stole my power steering: I just can't handle it. -
Nigel Farage says 'It's time I was in charge' as Tory defections to Reform UK mount Every year, Nigel Farage claims his populist movement is about to destroy the Conservative Party and remake British politics. The thing is, he might be right this time. "This is the biggest set of elections between now and the next general election, and it could be a very, very pivotal moment," Farage told the Washington Examiner in an exclusive interview, referring to upcoming local elections. Farage, the architect of Brexit turned leader of Reform U.K., has seen his support surge while Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his Labour Party suffer historically unprecedented levels of disapproval. Meanwhile, the usual benefactors of Labour's demise, the Conservative Party, are being picked off one by one by Reform as it looks to supplant them as the true party of the British right.

The World's Deadliest Wild Cat Is the Size of a Kitten and Equally Adorable If you were a gerbil or a small bird in the deserts of southern Africa, you'd likely spend your nocturnal hours fearing the African black-footed cat — or the Felis nigripes, if we're being technical — a vicious killer with night vision and incredible hearing abilities, capable of targeting its prey with exceptional accuracy. But as a human, you'd be forgiven for wanting to snuggle up to this miniature menace (after all, people aren't on its menu). It turns out that the world's deadliest cat might also be in the running for the cutest, with its tiny stature, round face, and curious eyes. Make no mistake, though: Despite weighing between just 2 and 6 pounds (less than most housecats), this is no passive pussycat.

Yee-HAAAAA! [Note to T-B.'s self: Jokes worked again... jokes worked again... ] Let us know when it happens, and give us a full report! Your gracious words and sincere appreciation will make all contributors here feel good, and you give hope to everyone who's still waiting. -
Thrilling Tuesday report, see man: It was not a bad day, one of the very few such recently man. Miu was not particularly active, but the wee hours loom, nocturnal miu man. Awoke before alarm, we man. Looked out window and saw rain, How Dry We Aren't man. We were VERY fortunate that the casa-painting was all done on Monday, relieved we man. Went out to collect weekly rainwater newspapers, see if Subway coupons therein man. Most were soaked, and all were without Subway coupons, wait till next week we man. Intended to hit Mama T-B.'s taxes but got sidetracked researching CD rates, still some over Many% APY man. Lunch was onecan of Chunky split pea + ham soup, ingest we man. A siesta was then taken, mostly successful zzz we man. Visited Mama T-B. for nearly 2 hours, visit we man senior she man man. That entire time, we did not make her yell or cry, mirabile dictu et visu man. Returned to casa to find skoolbused Mini-B. chillaxing, chillaxed wee man man. He again mentioned approval of the casa's colors, endorsement man. He ingested an impressive amount of snacks, must restock already we man man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. actually showed up to retrieve Mini-B., retrieve ex-she man wee man man. As stated, she was highly impressed with the casa's colors, no more ridicule or lectures man. We pointed out that Many (2+1) of her Many (2+2) tyres need replacing, not on chica radar man. No word all day from skoolbus stoopervisor or from DiRectum of Transpurtayshun, no and no man. Maybe the latter has delegated it to underlings, not willing to bet on that one just yet we man. Din-din was toucans of Chunky chicken noodle soup, ingest we man. We were inflicted with an OPIOID crisis, Other People's Infernal Oak leaves Infesting our Driveway man. We off-blew said leaves, leaf us alone man. At half-of-half till Many (2x2x2) p.m., we decided to Costco, finally some sales on din-din items man. We first stopped at Uncle T-B.'s complex, root through recycle bins for Subway coupons we man. There were no Subway coupons there either, we man. We then Costco'd, Costco we man. Many (2x2x2) p.m. is the only sensible time to Costco, miss the rush man. All but one item that we got was on sale/special, F$WM. We found a couple of other desired items also on sale, F$WM. We gassed the thirsty T-B.-mobile, such a gas man. Precisely when we T-B.-mobiled away, it began to monsoon, cold front man. Timing Is Everything, conclude we man. Miu involved herself in investigating our purchases, investigatory miu man. There were many positives on Tuesday, see in review man: 1. The casa-painting was finished before the rain/monsoon, si man. 2. The casa windows muffled the rain sounds, si man. Many. We did not make Mama T-B. yell or cry, no man. Many. The curbsided paint is gone without incident, bye man. Many. Mini-B. & ex-Mrs.-T-B. are satisfied with the casa's colors, si and si man. Many. We had no wet oak leaves all over our pavement, blow them off we man. Many. Costco-ing was highly $ucce$$ful, F$WM. On Wednesday, we must chauffeur Uncle T-B. to doctor, si man. His lab results would make a Manyager envious, utterly amazing man. He will give us last 10ManyMany-INT form needed for his taxes, finally arrived man. Afterward, we should visit Costco Business Center, remaining items plus there-only items man. We must apply ourself to Mama T-B.'s taxes, quite complex man. And that was/is our thrilling Tuesday, report we man.

Gracias, mam ma'am. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. saw them today and was quite impressed, big relief man. Whole first floor, si mam ma'am. Before us, some owner had painted them white, certainly before the HOA banned the painting of bricks, timing is everything man. The white has gotten a little faded or dirty, but the new colors help somehow, conclude we man and ex-Mrs.-T-B. man mam ma'am. We had all of this, too, si mam ma'am -- out of style, hard to clean/easy to dirty, and rather ugly, si man. We did this, too, si mam ma'am. Windows are like Andersen but under the contractor-only label, which we can't recall, si and no man. P-Math error precised, see and si and naughty mam ma'am man. We have solid-wood double doors, si man, with only 2 peepholes, see man. We dislike glass on doors in case of breakage by criminals or hurricanes, reason we man. We don't disagree with your choice of style at all, no mam ma'am. We have no data yet on either of these, no man. The positive difference is stark, si mam ma'am! We couldn't even hear it rain for these last 2 days, no man. Nor could we hear the garbage trucks passing outside*, no man. *however, this is sometimes handy to hear, timing is everything man Actually, we have never bought paint of any kind anywhere, come to think of it man. These were either left over from previous owners or VERY early purchases by then-Mrs.-T-B., surmise we man. We were perplexed by some of the white shades/textures and the many various cans of furniture stain, huh man. Nor technically are we, no mam ma'am. The smaller cans went inside a plastic bag, heavy but fit nicely man. This bag went into our wheeled curbsided bin, si man. The larger cans went carefully upright into bin bottom, si man. Bins are mechanically lifted into top of garbage truck, si man. Drivers have mirrors focused there to see whether anything is still falling out, conclude we man. Even if they noticed the paint cans at last moment, nothing they could do about it, see but no man. This is how we formed our reasoning, efficient we man. And nothing spilled or stank inside our ultimately de-curbsided empty bin, gratified we man.

Early Filing and 3-month Residency Requirement
TBoneTX replied to Sam Walz's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
Avoid filing on what you think is precisely the 90th day; wait a couple or a few days longer. Folks have had their papers rejected because they miscalculated and ultimately filed "too early." -

N-400 -- February 2026 Filers

Thanks for creating the thread! I'll edit the title slightly, for clarity. The timing of this phase aside, it's definitely the easiest in most instances... and most important. A small-yet-satisfying benefit at the end is to fill in the final box of your VJ timeline. -
'Just Complete This 50-Page Questionnaire,' Says Hospital Clerk To Man With Axe Embedded In Skull TOPEKA, KS — A kindly hospital clerk asked local man Jonathan Arnold to please fill out the brief 50-page intake form, promising they would then get right to addressing the axe embedded in his skull. The clerk then asked for Arnold's insurance information, stating it would only take 20 minutes to run his benefits so that a doctor could take a look at the hunk of metal in his cranium. "Just hold really, really still so the axe doesn't move while you finish these forms," said the clerk, Sharon Maxwell. "Oh, and don't forget the pages are all front and back.

Minnesotans Begin Fleeing To Somalia To Escape Violence MOGADISHU — Minnesotans have begun fleeing in droves to Somalia to escape the escalating threat of violence. As the streets of Minneapolis once again descended into chaos, hundreds of families packed their bags and headed for the safety of Mogadishu. "We had to run for it," said longtime Minnesota residents David and Jeannie Grey. "There are militias roaming the streets, setting up checkpoints -- in Minneapolis, that is.

Minnesota Arrests Churchgoers For Interrupting Protest [...] Minnesota leaders ordered the arrest of churchgoers for interrupting a leftist protest. Following the incident in which journalist Don Lemon and a mob of protesters barged into a Saint Paul church during a worship service, state and city officials vowed to deal with the problem, culminating in criminal charges being brought against the members of the church's congregation. "We can't allow our sacred protests to be violated in such a hateful way," said Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

It's Started: Oxford Imposing '15-Minute City' Driving Limits With Fines For Going Outside Your Zone Remember when we were warning you that "15-Minute Cities" were not just about ensuring that you CAN live in a nice, walkable, and convenient city, but rather that they were about restricting mobility and controlling where you are able to go? Naah, we were told, that is conspiracy theory thinking. Next you will tell us that the elite wants us to "own nothing and be happy," just like the communists promised.

Too much winning. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ President Trump Announces a Major Trade Deal With India President Trump has unveiled the latest in his string of high-profile trade agreements, this time with India, a country swiftly moving from a developing economy toward a leading economic powerhouse in Asia. Under the new agreement, India will shift away from Russian oil, turning instead to supplies from the U.S. and Venezuela, while tariffs on Indian goods drop from 25 percent to 18 percent. The deal also locks in commitments for India to significantly increase its purchases of American products, marking a major win for U.S. trade and influence in Asia. "It was an Honor to speak with Prime Minister Modi, of India, this morning," President Trump wrote on Truth Social. "He is [...] https://townhall.com/tipsheet/dmitri-bolt/2026/02/02/trade-deal-with-india-n2670529

Costa Rica elected a chica president, and this chica author writes phenomenal stuff about Latin America that we won't read anywhere else. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Costa Rica Voted in a New President, and Something Kind of Wild Happened As I mentioned in my New Monroe Doctrine Column on Friday, Costa Rica was set to go to the polls on Sunday and vote in a new president. It was highly likely that Laura Fernández, the conservative, would win, though it wasn't clear that she would get enough votes to avoid a run-off because there were so many candidates — something like 20 — and because there were many, many undecided voters heading into the weekend. Well, Fernández won, so no real surprises there, but how she won is incredibly interesting and yet another sign of the times in the Western Hemisphere.
