    At the end of your day, it's CBP who you may need to justify your trips upon reentry. Maybe you'll be waived through. Maybe placed in secondary. It's hard to know upfront. Given prior history, the risk of being pressured to sign I-407 is higher than normal. Good luck!

    Part of the reason I think OP pays PayPal fees. But most banks would have some fees for foreign transactions / cash withdrawals overseas. So you'd save some fees on sending money, but would pay other fees elsewhere.

    Unless you have prior extended stays outside the US, affiliation with questionable organizations or prior crimes, I wouldn't worry too much.

    That would be a really bad idea IMHO

    Congrats! You see, no estimate is ever accurate!

    There's really nothing special about it. You only write one sentence. It doesn't have to be perfect handwriting. Mine looked like a 6 year old wrote it. As long as IO can read it, it's OK. You can either use stylus or finger, whatever makes you more comfortable. I didn't have to use eraser, but I'm pretty sure you could erase it. Please keep us updated. The important thing is, you can take your time writing it, no need go rush. Good luck!

    You can file, but multiple VAWAs are very suspicious. I think your immigration history looks complex and messy.

    What conclusion did you come to? I think your post is useful.

    Needed both naturalization certificate and copy of DL for my application

    My request got processed yesterday, thank you @top_secret! One fun fact: replacing new GE card due to change of citizenship has $25 fee! Charged to one of my credit cards since I get it reimbursed.

    To get N-600 for kid, you need to be a US citizen. It's logical to input USA as country of citizenship.

    Your need to change name is understandable, but doing it before oath ceremony can cost you more in time and money in the end. Good luck and keep us posted!

    Not unusual at all.

    Is she applying under 3 year rule (marriage to US citizen) or 5 year rule (general provision)? If under 3 year rule you really should go with her. She can have a very bad experience if US citizen isn't present. Can somebody (family, babysitter) watch the kids?

    This mostly happens if they suspect immigrant does not understand English enough.

    Good point, home country vs country of origin.
  17. OldUser
    I see. Thought maybe you moved in the process. Good luck!

    Further delays and confusion at USCIS. They have to run background check on any names you ever used. Naturalize and then change it if you want. That would be my vote. Why is your ceremony at different state to where you live? Is this normal for filers in your state?

    I wouldn't mess with name change until N-400. She can simplify her name then

    Personal experience - the shortest correct answer is the best. "Republic" is a good answer. You can search videos on YouTube. There's a lady who records videos about questions and answers as well as word definitions.

    It's not automatic. Sometimes USCIS would to it for you without asking. Other times, USCIS will do I-751 and N-400 interviews on separate days. By asking, you remind them of pending I-751.

    I hope you give some cookies or snacks to your neighbor It's nice of them

    You are right, there is no official word for this... Lawyers do say "combo", but it's not a legal term. You could write "joint I-751 and N-400 interview" in request or "I'd like to request both I-751 and N-400 to be adjudicated together".

    The issue was most likely the lease agreement was "edited" as OP stated. E.g. fradulent doc provided to officer.

    This was my reason to become a US citizen. I could happily travel all around the world with my European passport. I could live in the US with GC comfortably too. But the idea is that one day an employer or DMV staff marks me as a "US citizen" by their mistake would make me deportable. Or I get in car accident or some other trouble that would jeopardize my status in the US... Or CBP decides that I somehow violated my LPR status and gives me trouble entering the US. All of this pushed me to file N-400. Yeah, if somebody want to live in the US forever, I'd also recommend applying for citizenship.
