  1. US State Department doesn't control other countries borders. They know when you left the US and what flight you took. But they can't prove you entered a country. Stamps issued by other countries typically confirm your entry into their country. You can take a flight to country A, and book a separate flight from country A to country B. Unless you provide stamp, DOS will have limited knowledge of your full itenary.
  2. No, not needed. Your photo will be taken as you check in for the interview. I believe people naturalizing under military programms may need it. Also, if place offers applying for passport on spot, it may be needed if you have same day ceremony. My field office had same day oath, but applying for passport wasn't available there.
  3. Work or unemployment is not an issue for I-751. Paying taxes IS however important for successful for naturalization. Even if restaurant doesn't report your taxes, you must report any income to IRS. Evading taxes is a big no.
  4. Both minor unmarried children and spouse of LPR are F2A. So no difference overall. Each case is individual though
  5. You will be required to write a sentence on tablet either using stylus or finger (your choice). There's nothing you need to bring for this. Here's my recent experience: Bear in mind though, my was N-400 under general provision. You interview may be more focused on marriage.
  6. 2 - not needed 4 - only joint account statements are useful
  7. Don't forget embassies are now scaling down as we speak. With fewer staff, I'd be ready for 17 months morally. If it comes faster, that's a great bonus.
  8. No, you won't get delayed. I-130 adjudication takes 17 months, out of which application sits in queue for 99.999% of the time, only reviewed at the very end for 30 mins. So nobody would see your evidence until it's been almost 17 months of waiting.
  9. The question is whether it's a real lawyer too 😃
  10. No I had prior adress there, but not current
  11. In my N-400 "where you lived" didn't list current address.
  12. This should help. I wouldn't include personal account statements. Hopefully if by the time you get RFE or interview, you'd get more joint bank statements. Good luck!
  13. Not automatically. Typically employer has to sponsor for green card
  14. Are you sure she's a lawyer? A real lawyer, not a notario? Why this ridiculous pricing? You can do it yourself, of course, but you need to know what you're doing. It is indeed somewhat complex, but not impossible.
  15. It's unfortunate you didn't start using joint accounts to the max since that AOS interview. You knew it was an issue. 6 months is good, but you may be called for interview again and asked why not for the past 2 years? Do you guys file joint taxes? I'd include tax return transcripts. I don't know what value personal accounts would provide other than proving you live at the same address. How about utilities? Do you have monthly statements in both names?
  16. You don't get any confirmation or proof of uploading evidence. RFE letter is asking for mailing, right? If yes, theoretically USCIS would do a favor by looking at uploaded documents. But they don't have to. I'd upload and mail with proof of delivery, so they can never say you didn't respond.
  17. For me estimate showed 3 weeks until decision on day of my oath! I think these are just some random numbers.
  18. That's essentially what happens, as prerequisites for citizenship in most countries are living there for 3/5/10 years, knowing language and history and having no issues with law. Paperwork is what proves legality. Even naturally born citizens have to go through admin stuff (or their parents do it) to get birth certificate, passport etc. Admin stuff is essential to secure a country. Imagine somebody who has malicious intent just lives in a country for X number of years and automatically becomes a citizen. Admin stuff allows authorities to check the person before giving generous privileges to them.
  19. Also, looks like you filed I-751 with divorce waiver? It can slow things down. Be ready to talk about marriage to USC and divorce upon reentry too.
  20. Have expired GC, valid original extension letter, valid passport. Do not travel if you had prior crimes or participated in protests or were associated with questionable groups. Also don't travel if previously you took very long trips outside the US (over 1 year). Be ready your belongings, phones, laptops may be searched upon reentry to the US.
