    Yes, don't just include one bank statememt. Include statements from the tine joint account was open until now. Evidence should span periods of time to be considered. Include all pages of documents too. If you have retirement statements showing spouse's name that's better than one page. If you travelled together by plane or had hotel resevations in both names, include it too.

    I thought I-94 was for nonimmigrants entering the US?

    Yes, we've seen cases approved on July 4th. Either notifications are delayed or USCIS work on federal holidays (I doubt it). Congrats!

    I'd say it's normal to hear nothing for the next 3-6 months.

    Attorney will file G-28 when you hire them. It's the form completed by attorney. Not sure if they can file online or on paper.

    Looks like it's not too late to hire somebody to supervise entire process and prepare you for the interview too. But if you want a lawyer just for interview portion, you certainly can do that. You may also shop around and see what it costs to do the whole case VS just interview representation. My gut feeling is, just interview is going to cost at 50-80% of the price of the entire case. But I may be wrong.

    Ouch It's possible to get approved without. It's also possible you'll be asked to demostrate your certificate. They do have a record, but the way DOS / USCIS operate is they require you to provide all the proof for any benefit. They don't have to research / work hard locating your files etc.

    It's impossible to predict CBP behavior. Most likely she will be allowed in. May get a warning, may need to go through secondary. What's the alternative? Give up LPR status?

    I highly recommend ordering a replacement naturalization certificate. You may need in in the future to renew your own passport, get social security, apply for certain jobs or sponsor somebody for immigration. This is a must have document. Also, if you get RFE for your kids cases asking for your certificate, at least you'd be able to send a copy. Do you have a copy of lost certificate? You could include that while waiting for replacement. Did you send actual green cards? Why? I would never do that unless requested explicitly. You should also consider filing N-600 for your kids as soon as you get your certificate. Good luck!

    This is not an immigration question, maybe a family lawyer could help?

    Only immigration judge can "cancel" her GC. Looks like your marriage didn't work out, I'm sorry about it. As far as splitting assets etc, treat it like any other marriage to US born citizen, because it's not different to that.

    You can leave blank or put NONE or N/A. All are valid options. Doesn't hurt. Ideally each application should stand on its own feet.

    No, annotate each photo with the following caption: Date, location, occasion, names of people on the photo and their relationship to petitioner.

    Cost of living increased significantly over the last few years. USCIS held the fees unchanged for some time. All of the slowness is a result of underfunding for the last few years. Maybe if USCIS doubled the fees they'd have money to invest and speed up processes.... Hang in there, July to November is only 4 months. Many petitions take year and over.

    USCIS is funded by filing fees, not taxes

    If hiring lawyer, why not hire for entire process? From filing to oath. I'm not sure how many lawyers would go just to your interview. They need to know your case, circumstances etc.

    What do you mean by not cheap? FOIA is free.

    It is considered name change. Good luck and keep us updated!

    Few days and even a week or two won't make much difference. My friend filed I-751 3 weeks after me and got approved 4 months earlier. Everybody who filed on my week were delayed. You never know whether filing today or tomorrow will give you faster adjudication, it's unpredictable. Risking the whole petition by filing on first day isn't worth it.
  20. OldUser
    Yes, as long as you're still married to US citizen, you live together etc. And you meet other requirements.

    They're highly recommended. The point of including tax return transcripts is to show that you pay taxes as required by lawful permanent resident. If you have a valid reason to file MFS it's OK.

    Why not enter Japan on EU passport? Then you don't have issue exiting Japan on EU passport travelling to EU.
  23. OldUser
    I'd go with option 1 why wait?
  24. OldUser
    Put today's date

    If you have valid GC, the chances of you getting in without issues are high. The biggest hurdle tends to be the airline. If you have valid documentation, you should be OK. You likely going to get a warning from CBP and maybe would have to visit the secondary. But most likely they'll let you in. Make sure to limit the international travel after entry to the US and naturalize to get full freedom of movement.
