I'd be more concerned about world wide taxation and bearing arms when required. But I'm OK with those two that's why naturalized.

Sometimes officers say they don't have your file in the system / cannot locate it.

Wise move! Do you remember whether it asked for camera access, file access etc?

Did you install the app on your main phone? I'd have privacy concerns about the app. I'm sure it can scan contents of my phone in the background and determine I'm all clear, but not sure I'd be a fan. Does it ask for any permissions?

Agree with most of this, other than K-3 that's been dead for years.

As long as it's a "long" version listing both parents etc, it should be OK. Birth certificate is proof of citizenship.

@Aubrey1212 you're not responsible for his immigration. Take care of yourself, move out and divorce him. There's nothing else to do other than protect yourself.

Just read comments above.. yes, it happens to people. Nothing to worry about.

True, but who and how often obtains a certified copy of Certificate of Naturalization? Though archived, here's what USCIS had to say about it: You do not need to obtain a Certified True Copy if the U.S. government asks for a copy of your certificate for official U.S. government business. You may use a normal photocopy of your certificate for legitimate U.S. government business. For example, when you apply for a U.S. passport, you must submit the original Certificate of Naturalization, and you should also submit a normal photocopy that has not been authenticated. Source: https://www.uscis.gov/archive/how-do-i-obtain-an-authenticated-copy-of-a-certificate-of-naturalization Again, why would USCIS tell what do submit for passport application, if it's DOS problem, I'm not sure 😃 I guess that's why they archived it. USPS expects to submit original, though certified copy technically is OK. How does one get a certified copy? Have you done it personally?

Medical appointment is a valid reason to reschedule. However, before you do that, have you considered showing early for your biometrics? E.g. many VJ folks had success going to biometrics appointment few days early. Just bring the letter and ID.

This means the wording for filler status when nothing happens changed. Not a big deal. CC @P055UM 😅

Unlikely. You're LPR and can still travel.

What's the misrep? You said you owed taxes and you owe taxes. No problem there. The question is EVER, so any time in life.

Yep, I guess it's to lower expectations. Many people thought actively reviewed means somebody is actually looking at the file all this time. Then calling USCIS / chatting to Emma: "So what's taking so long for officer to decide on my case? I've seen status for the past 3 months" 😅

No, it's not accurate. On day of my oath, MyProgress showed 3 weeks until decision. I-130 takes 12-17 months.

It's just a play of words, nothing else.

Yes, you can. Many on VJ do it. You don't have to

1) Which administration was in power when you naturalized? Current one pays a lot more attention to cases. There's no downside to providing as much relevant evidence as possible 2) The bar goes up over the time too. My friend shared some insight into his removal of conditions in 2010. He submitted form, 1 bank statement and 3 photos. This was enough back then. I almost teared up when I saw how low the bar was back then. 3) Denial rate may be low, but do we know how many RFEs and NOIDs were issued before the approval?

1. I don't think my I-751 had copy of marriage certificate 2. From date of marriage until now 3. I had 2 affidavits. 7 is more than enough.

How is he going to be proving US domicile? Immigrant visa is for reunification, e.g. US citizen lives or has strong intent to live in the US and foreign spouse also intends to live in the US with the spouse. That's the purpose of filing for immigrant visa. US citizen living overseas can become an obstacle to obtaining immigrant visa down in the process.

Is she staying at a hotel? If not, she'd be lying to officials. It's a bad idea to lie.

Why did you apply for I-130 for your wife if she has no desire to live in the US? I-130 leads to immigrant visa and permanent residency. Permanent residency is for living in the US. How will your marriage work if you live thousand miles apart?

Not an issue. I use joint account checks all the time. You can of course, write a check beforehand and bring checkbook with you if you need to write another one.

Yes You can write these in the MEMO part of the check

It doesn't
