    This can only be done if they file taxes together. E.g. parents list her as a dependent on her taxes or she lists them as dependents.

    So you're saying you had too many addresses in the last 5 years that you have to use Additional Section? I don't think listing it twice is a problem even if you do it.

    Note the question asking for "most recent" address outside the US and "most recent" place of study / employment. It doesn't say "in the last 5 years". Even if most recent was 10 or 20 years ago, you should list it. The only time you don't list it, is if it falls within last 5 years and already listed in preceding questions.

    Was ELIS / immigrant fee paid for each parent?

    One more vote for consulting a lawyer before proceeding with N-400. You may have issues resulting in USCIS reverting their decision on your residency!

    Naturalisation is offered by British and Aussies, I hope officer offered naturalization. This was good. I think @MichaelJuan.198 is contemplating whether his wife should just take same day oath with current name and change it later or decline same day oath to naturalize in new name. I think your approach is much better. Good luck!

    Also, correction to the terminology in title: your spouse and son(s) are going through Removal of Conditions (ROC), not Adjustment of Status (AOS).

    In any case, I think it wouldn't hurt getting a good lawyer's opinion (if he / she is a member of AILA). This is not a very straightforward situation we see on VJ every day. And maybe even involving Japanese immigration lawyer to confirm Japanese residency won't be lost if your spouse and son become US citizens. I don't see how it would be lost, but hey, I'm just a guy online.

    As long as your relationship is OK and she gets conditions removed, I don't see how this could affect the son staying in the US. He's a US LPR. LPRs are encouraged to live in the US to maintain their residence. I'd be more concerned about the other son going to Japan (if he's also US LPR). Your wife has a perfect reason to be following you to Japan, since you're in the military on assignment.

    Why would wife lose Japanese residency if she naturalizes in the US? She will briefly lose Philippines citizenship, which she can reinstate. But I don't see how this affects Japan residency for her or her sons?

    Having one doc as proof of citizenship and name change is just cleaner in my opinion, than two docs: 1 for name change and 1 for citizenship. Fewer moves, fewer docs to keep in safe place etc. If she knows she's changing name, applying for passport in current name also doesn't make much sense, as requires updating it again.
  12. OldUser
    #1 is better long term unless she has urgent reason to get passport super quickly. Also, nobody can ever guarantee same day ceremony!

    Wow! Congrats with winning the lottery! Only 122 people were approved so far while over 12000 are still in initial stage.

    Oh thanks for pointing out! Sometimes a trip at the beginning of LPR can be considered as not residing in the US. I'd factor that trip in to be bulletproof. E.g. file on anniversary of return from that trip minus 90 days

    At the same time: I think OP may be a naturalized citizen from Philippines but his wife and son are Japanese? Assumptions only, more info would be needed from OP.
  16. OldUser
    If I understood correctly, because wife doesn't want to lose Japanese citizenship. They don't allow multiple citizenships...
  17. OldUser
    That's amazing! Way better than other petitions
  18. OldUser
    In my opinion, it's better this way actually. So no single player in government can concentrate too much power in their hands... Checks and balances and clear separation of duties.

    I didn't expect anything for 6+ months after filing, got scheduled got interview earlier. Filing in December 2024, I thought my interview would be in July-August. Many in my thread are still waiting. Many will be scheduled for interview after 5-6 months mark of waiting. Good luck!

    MyProgress estimate can be safely ignored. Some people saw "7 months" until decision on day of their oath. Others waited way longer than initially shown 5-6 months estimate. Also, the visual part is very confusing. Current step doesn't mean it's completed, it means it's the next thing to happen. Especially if it's an empty circle, not filled with blue and checked.

    You only get extension letter once unless USCIS increases extension letter validity from 48 months to higher number, say 60 or 72 months for everybody. When my ROC was pending, I got 24 months letter followed by 48 months letter after a year.
  23. OldUser
    Cases take around 17 months to get adjudicated nowadays. So most likely you'll hear something close to September / October this year.
  24. OldUser
    Seems like another year or so at least.
  25. OldUser
    There's about 13000 people who are approved and / or got their ceremony. And about 7000 who are still waiting for interview, and another 7000 have interview scheduled.
