    How did you prove your residence (address) at DMV? OP is struggling with that.

    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:

    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).

    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.

    Did many of them have N-400 pending at the same time?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Yes.

    The key word is "if" in explanation to this question. If beneficiary lives overseas, then provide address.
  12. OldUser
    It shouldn't

    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.

    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.

    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?

    Generally no evidence is required, but IO may ask few questions about that marriage.

    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.

    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.

    Writ of Mandamus is the next logical step. But I'd review I-751 and make it stronger before suing USCIS.

    Classic. I doubt it would be yet another 7 months after 6 months in.

    Good luck! Regarding laptop - if you can avoid taking it, I wouldn't take it. You have to go through airport like security.

    As you enter the US, you'll get immigrant visa endorsed. It will be valid for entry to the US for one year (as if you enter with green card. So no problem there. The problem arises if USPS returns green card back to USCIS or it gets lost. Then you'll have to silver the issue. If you're out of country you may not act fast enough and would have to get I-90 filed (meaning additional wait).

    I think as long as you can get any written response from embassy it should be OK.

    USCIS may want to see passport for other reasons other than departure and arrival from the US. You list countries visited and USCIS may want to cross-check information reflected by stamps in your passport. What if you visited North Korea, Cuba, other countries and locations US considers elevated risk? Many countries allow keeping old passport as long as you request it when renewing...

    USCIS often doesn't want to accept alternatives such as beneficiary income or assets. Instead of wasting time responding to RFEs and trying to prove you can use these, it's simpler to go with a flow and get a joint sponsor, who is typically accepted with no issues.
