  1. Get unrestricted social security card by filing SS-5. Don't use GC for I-9 verification. Use unrestricted SS card and DL / state ID instead. And, don't ever claim in writing or verbally you're a US citizen (citizen) until you become a US citizen. Even innocent statememts to US officials / employers such as "I'm a good citizen" can get you in trouble.
  2. They're not required, but it's highly recommended. In short: undeniable proof they are US citizens. There are some instances when US passport alone is not enough to prove US citizenship. Many years later, could be when parents no longer around, children may be asked to reprove how they became US citizens... It would be very easy with certificate and not so easy without it. Here are reasons to get certificate: Here's somebody in trouble because they didn't have certificate:
  3. This ^ Passport first, N-600 right after
  4. Tax return transcript from IRS website is preferred. In this case, no 1040 or W2 is needed.
  5. Is the trip necessary? Airports is place of elevated risk for being detained if out of status. In may never be an issue, but nobody can give guarantees.
  6. N-600 isn't redundant. Many years later USCIS / DOS / SSA / employer may not be happy with just US passport and demand to see other proof of US citizenship! See all reasons for N-600 here:
  7. I can almost guarantee you're going to be naturalized before this estimate 😃 My estimate showed 3 weeks until decision on the day of my oath.
  8. They must update the address as @Crazy Cat outlined above. Better late than never. Most likely, updating address late won't be an issue. In theory, failing to file AR-11 is a deportable offence.
  9. Status sometimes doesn't reflect the reality. Congrats!
  10. Never heard of this before. Never done it. Never had RFE.
  11. Impossible to know what exactly happened. You just have to wait for oath ceremony invitation letter.
  12. Looks like you're two years away? They're working on January 2022 cases.
  13. I'm very sorry about your mom's situation... What country is your brother citizen of? Can he come on ESTA or visitor's visa? When was I-130 filed? Is mom a GC holder or US citizen?
  14. I think it's best to get called after early 90 day filing window and have same day ceremony as interview.
  15. Sorry I don't have a crystal ball. Phone call won't help. N-400 can take from 3 months to a year.
  16. You can ignore estimate. On day of my oath, it showed 3 weeks until decision.
  17. You cannot get approved for citizenship within 90 days of early filing window. So USCIS typically would schedule for interview past early filing window. 3 year rule is a more complex process, so may take a little longer too.
  18. Smart choice. You can see this person had many months ahead estimated on day I-130 was approved:
