  1. Foreign passport doesn't list the US address. Same goes for marriage license. W2 may list address, but OP's parents are not employed.
  2. Just an idea. If current filing fee doesn't change, you can save $1335 in 12 months by putting aside $111.25 every month.
  3. No, her N-400 will be denied, because a US citizen cannot apply for naturalization. Also, you always need to list your kids in N-400, don't misrepresent yourself as this may prevent you from naturalizing. N-600 is optional, not required. But highly recommended. You don't have to do it immediately or ever. The only risk is if your daughter will have issues proving she's a US citizen in the future. That may cost more than N-600 (lawyer fees etc)
  4. This question? The answer is yes, it's possible. But not guaranteed. There's high chance of interview, because after filing N-400, I-751 usually gets transfered from service center to local field office. I suspect most of the I-751s approved without interview are approved by service centers. If you're lucky to get approved before the file gets transferred to local field office, then you won't have interview. The chance of local field office waiving interview is lower than service center.
  5. How did you prove your residence (address) at DMV? OP is struggling with that.
  6. No, only you have to pay N-400 fee. But if you need her to have a certificate of citizenship, she cannot do N-400 (will be denied) and should file N-600 instead. And I wish the fee was as low as N-400! You can delay filing N-600, but that is one the best presents for 18th / 21st birthday you can give to your child. Here's reasons why:
  7. If the daughter is your biological daughter, is LPR, under 18 and lives in your full physical custody at the time you naturalize, she will be US citizen by operation by law. You will be able to get her US passport and (highly recommended) certificate of citizenship (N-600).
  8. This is typical It is possible, just requires a bit of effort. 1) Have you thought of online savings / checking accounts? Many of them don't have maintenance fees. Think of Capital One, Discover, Amex. Can open them online and receive letter which can be used for proof of residency. 2) Secured credit cards? Sometimes you can open one by giving $200-300 to the bank to secure it.
  9. Did many of them have N-400 pending at the same time?
  10. I suspect files of filers within early filing window typically get put aside for 3 months. After all, USCIS cannot naturalize people in early filing window until they meet the criteria for naturalization.
  11. It's worth calling but also USCIS systems are buggy. Could be glitch in IT system. I'd also monitor mail. Sometimes online status doesn't update but USCIS sends a letter.
  12. Thanks for sharing the experience. You're never asked for GC / extension letter when leaving the US unless using GC for visa free travel to countries who rely on it. It's good you had original with you when travelling back. Most of the issues arise with airlines denying boarding US bound planes.
  13. The key word is "if" in explanation to this question. If beneficiary lives overseas, then provide address.
  14. I'm not as qualified as an immigration attorney. Sounds like a good advice. Though you'd have to convince airline staff in other countries, this is the hardest part.
  15. So they should not be included. The household in this case is in context of finances / taxes. As if you lived with roommates. You're typically not going to include them in your household even if you share a house for living arregement.
  16. Does any of this apply? "• Any other individuals (including a spouse or child not physically residing with you) who are listed as dependents on your federal income tax return; and • Any other individuals who list you as a dependent on their federal income tax return." E.g. do you list them as your dependents on taxes or vice versa?
  17. Generally no evidence is required, but IO may ask few questions about that marriage.
  18. No, some letters etc come without status update or warning. In some rare cases people don't even know they were issued RFE / decision because their online status never updated but letter went to old address.
  19. It's the sponsor's problem to update I-865. No issue for you as long as you submit AR-11. Be careful with address changes and monitor both old and new address. Sometimes USCIS ignores mailing address and sends letters to old physical address. Minimize moving with ROC pending as much as possible.
  20. Writ of Mandamus is the next logical step. But I'd review I-751 and make it stronger before suing USCIS.
  21. Classic. I doubt it would be yet another 7 months after 6 months in.
  22. Good luck! Regarding laptop - if you can avoid taking it, I wouldn't take it. You have to go through airport like security.
