    Impossible to tell. Some bring tax return transcripts to the interview and get approved on same day, others not. Why didn't you submit taxes? It's pretty easy to attach and there's no downsides of front loading application.

    Passport size photos are used for many other things in immigration besides passport.
  3. OldUser
    No, passport is a separate process to naturalization. Or your lawyer is helping you with getting a passport?

    Yes, it is really necessary. CBP told them that and put a note in the system, likely. Next time, without I-131, they may be pressured to give up their green cards and rightfully so. They're likely going to be forced to give up their status by 2028 if they don't establish their lives in the US soon and don't have I-131. They may be placed in removal proceedings if they refuse to sign I-407.

    Your parents faced a very nice officer. They could have been asked to voluntarily give up their LPR status by signing I-407 on the spot or if declined, notice to appear in immigration court. The only two options are: 1. File I-131 for both of them, go to biometrics, then leave the US with receipt. Reenter within a year, meanwhile finalizing everything back home. 2. Give up LPR status for now and sponsor when they're ready to move to the US. The process may take few years given circumstances and backlogs.

    Yes it may be a problem. You were close to minimum and fell below the minimum. I'd start looking for plan B, e.g. joint sponsor.

    RFE from IRS? That's unrelated to immigration. Are you sure you filed taxes correctly and disclosed all the income? Sometimes it's worth paying a good tax preparer to get taxes filed properly

    You will need to file I-90 and this will likely be slow (months). Some lucky people get replacement fast, but it's not common. You can show DL and unrestricted SS card as @Ontarkie suggested. You can also get ADIT stamp (I-551) in passport / on card once you file I-90.

    You need to update when you physically move into the new home!

    That would be my advice. I know you don't have crimes, but divorce and long absense together already may create a bit of complication when adjudicating the case. At least the continuous residence won't be an issue if you want a little longer. When I-751 was approved, were you still married, in process of being divorced or divorced? Did you live with your ex at the time when I-751 was approved? Did you file jointly or with divorce waiver?

    I think I noticed a trend for N-400 based on 3 year rule. People coming to the interview with thin folders get RFEs, while people who bring huge stacks of evidence don't get asked for anything. It's silly but I think bringing a lot of evidence weights on interviewer causing them to soften up.

    Is the US citizen petitioning you, a biological parent of your kids? That's the first thing to figure out. If they are biological children of US citizen, who lived in the US for over 5 years, then they may be US citizens already. Otherwise, US citizen may need to sponsor them with I-130 for each kid to get immigrant visa and GC.

    It does happen. Nothing to worry about. Sometimes office gets busy and has to reschedule interviews. Monitor the mail. If you receive physical mail to attend, you may still want to do it to be 100% sure you won't miss the interview.

    I hope you don't receive an RFE. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
  16. OldUser
    I don't think you game overprepared. Maybe you weren't asked for anything because you had everything. Would you came with minimal stuff, I bet you would've been asked for more evidence.
  17. OldUser
    Those are random numbers. You can roll a dice and get a more accurate prediction.
  18. OldUser
    It's a good idea to always download the statements as they become available and not rely on bank's archives.
  19. OldUser
    Enough not to get an RFE. You can do either monthly or quarterly. Do not submit partial statements either.
  20. OldUser
    Those estimates are random meaningless numbers. You can safely ignore updates
  21. OldUser
    Perhaps lease with both names, bank statements with both names etc would have helped to avoid RFE
  22. OldUser
    Thanks for detailed experience. How much evidence of bonafide marriage did you submit with N-400?

    If you were never married you can't provide anything. If your spouse was married and divorced before, they need to provide copies of divorce decrees. I'm sure forms ask about prior marriages and divorces. Providing evidence to back it up is not bloating package, it's avoiding RFE.

    I understand the pain, but immigration is not a right, it's a privilege. At least waivers are offered. In many other jurisdictions people are asked to leave the country. UK for example doesn't even allow getting marrying in the UK on visitor visa or other visas other than special Marriage Visa.
