    We completed our process, and it seems like the N-400 is what unblocked progress. I think otherwise you're waiting a while.

    Take cash or a personal check if going to USPS or you’ll have to pay an added fee to buy a money order. Also, I was able to use my foreign passport as my second piece of ID as I only had a temporary license at the time. Had no issues getting it issued, and there’s something poetic about using one passport to get another.

    Went for standard; in all my years of having a passport, I've only ever gotten 2 stamps. I'm not what you'd call a world traveller! Also, the places I'm planning to go in the next few years don't even stamp passports anymore; it's all ETAs now. Also on that note, the passport application is away. Ended up using my Canadian passport (photocopy) as my ID for my new US passport, USPS person said in theory you could use the naturalization certificate for both, but Dept. of State really enjoys having two documents and it could delay things without providing a separate citizenship evidence and ID evidence. Paid the fee for expedited, should be here in 2 weeks, so we'll see!

    Absolutely! Once my Passport application is away I feel like I’ll get to sit on top of the mountain and enjoy the view for a while.

    None of this came up in mine at the end of September. As it stands I completed my oath ceremony on Tuesday (was quick and efficient, probably about 100 folks there taking the oath that day). Got my Naturalization Certificate and immediately went to the DOL (our DMV) to get an enhanced drivers license and went online and renewed my Nexus with citizenship info since I was inside the 1 year window. Going to get my passport tomorrow, and at some point will go to Social Security office once I have my passport and the shutdown is over. It’s done!!

    Agreed on that point, she'll need the extension letter. As far as airport boarding; if OP is coming out of the UK they can use a preclearance airport to get a CBP officer to make a decision on UK soil and then they're ready for boarding. Also, it has the benefit that if things got hairy, they're still in the UK to regroup.

    Totally; wait until the US spouse has 3 years of residence. I'm just pointing out the early filling doesn't mean you're getting a leg up on other fillers, it seems cases move on anniversary dates regardless.

    Since you did the 601A waiver they already know; answer yes and note the 601A waiver in the description for past unlawful entry.

    If it's any consolation, experience in the update threads shows your case won't be looked at until you hit the three year mark anyways. Mail it with a fast shipper so it arrives on/before your three-year anniversary and you'll end up with the same timeline as everyone else

    For this curious, this is the exact wording for my interview letter, so it wasn't tailored to OP. Bring Canadian Birth Certificate (if its an old one, make sure it's full form and not card size; if it's a modern plastic one they only come in one size). Canadian birth certificates list the birthplace of both parents on them, which in your spouse's case will mean one or both will show USA. Also bring their US passport, as it is listed as a proof of citizenship for the purposes of USCIS and DOS. If you have other docs for report of birth abroad or a N-600, of course bring that too, but it's unlikely to harm your case if you don't have them. If there was contention around the citizenship of your spouse you'd have gotten an RFE before now (likely at the IV stage); and worse case if they need more proof you'll get an RFE after your interview. The docs you have are almost certainly good enough at this juncture. Fig. 1, my interview letter from August:

    As someone about to do this; the items highlighted in the letter and reiterated by my lawyer are (1) green card and any other issued cards/extensions (2) the letter for the oath ceremony with the page on the back filled out. Lawyer said to only sign and date it on the day of the oath. If you lose the letter another copy can be printed online. They'll use your green card to ID you at the checkin station, and may also use fingerprints for matching as well, so other ID should not be required (beyond whatever you'd normally carry with you.) You'll only have more questions to answer if you travelled outside the country between your last interview and the appointment, or if you got into legal trouble between then and now.

    Hopefully goes without saying; but I'd travel back with a copy of your Dad's death certificate and a copy of the funeral pamphlet if there is one. Don't sign anything; but "I was in the UK caring for my dying father who just passed" and having proof of that should go a long way. You may need a certified copy of that death certificate at your removal of conditions interview, regardless, so it's best to have it. So sorry for your loss, and wish you the best on your return.

    Nothing would stop them from filing earlier... but without a final divorce decree, it can't be approved, and @may222223 would be in a pickle if you get an interview without the decree in hand. Wait until you have the decree and then file I-751 immediately with waiver. If you hit the 90-day window before you have the final decree in hand, file then even without the decree and note in the filing that you are waiting for it, and include other evidence with the waiver.

    If it were me, I'd use the unsolicited evidence form on the USCIS website to upload newer copies of tax transcripts to both, new marriage evidence to both, etc. Adding evidence can trigger someone to look at it, and it also sets you up well to then informally ask your local representatives to message USCIS on your behalf and ask what's up. You're taking a while; but not THAT long outside normal processing; so make the officer's job a little easier with some obvious evidence of a good relationship and give it a nudge. If you've had any encounters with the law, and especially any abuse complaints, you're going to be waiting a while and will want to engage a lawyer. Last, no, there's no reason to re-file a new 5-year N400 now. They couldn't approve it until they handled the I-751, either.
