    It's a black box. Nobody can tell for sure how long it would take. But generally... Can it take 5 years? Unlikely. Can it take only 1 day? Unlikely. Anything in between are probabilities. A lot of factors are envolved: who's working on your files, where the files are located, recent USCIS hiring freeze and many more. If it's less than 6 months since N-400 was filed, I wouldn't even worry.

    Not a bad idea, no issues with FOIA. It cannot harm you. The case may be delayed, that seemed like an issue for you... Is potential delay a problem?

    Anything that would be a material misrep? If it's not something like criminal charges etc, you should think hard whether you really need it.
  4. OldUser
    To my knowledge, not many. Your case will be denied. Alternative is getting exam elsewhere who can guarantee quick turnaround and sending it on time.

    15 months? This is fast. Many cases now take 16-17 months.

    It's not random. I-751 needs to be approved before N-400 can be approved. Any verbal approvals in the interview are not legal approvals. It might have taken some time to adjudicate case after interview. Also, it can take 4-8 weeks for any letters sent by USCIS to arrive. There's nothing random about that letter. You may even receive 10 year GC before your oath is scheduled.

    Replied here already:

    This doesn't change much. USCIS looks at current situation at the time of adjudication. If you're divorcing, you can't have a joint petition. It must be changed to divorce waiver petition.

    Why do you need FOIA? Your case may be delayed, but nobody can tell you specifics. If all of your files are digital, maybe delay won't be that long. If some of them are in limestone cave, yeah, retreiving those may take some time. Whether you're going to be placed last in the queue - I wouldn't think so.

    Interview can happen whether you had I-485 interview in the past or not. And as I said earlier, if your I-751 gets approved on the wrong premise, you're in very bad position. The wrong premise is if USCIS thinks you're living in bonafide marital union, but you're in fact separated and divorcing. Joint petition is not applicable to your case.

    I-485 likely?

    So I assume you filed online. I also assume both of you are naturalizing under general provision (5 year rule). If so, they are two separate cases. They may be treated by different officers on different days, and this is normal. If you read N-400 form carefully, spouses' name and information section is not relevant for N-400 under general provision. It's relevant for people who're naturalizing under 3 year rule, based on marriage to US citizen. When you file online, some sections are skipped automatically based on your case type. Chill, everything looks good so far in your and your wife's cases. Good luck!

    You're in a tight spot. Your I-751 has been pending for a while and can be approved any moment without interview. This is the last thing you want if your marriage isn't working. Since you filed I-751 jointly and now separated, it's crucial to get divorced and notify USCIS you're switching to divorce waiver case. Another danger is that you and your spouse can be called for I-751 interview. If you're separated, that would be really bad. You may need to seek legal help from family lawyer (regarding divorce) and immigration lawyer (regarding I-751 and N-400).

    Oath is scheduled Wait. Your N-400 was approved. Office may be busy, you're just waiting for available slot or whenever there are enough people naturalizing to schedule ceremony.
  15. OldUser
    The more relevant evidence, the better.
  16. OldUser
    This is a good idea.
  17. OldUser
    Are you married to a US citizen?
  18. OldUser
    Yes, add them. Also utility bills in both names. If you want to get cased approved without RFE, I recommend following I-751 instructions. They tell as much documents as possible, covering period between date of marriage and date of I-751 filing.

    Finance comingling part is currently lacking as per comment above.
  20. OldUser
    Why 50 pages is an issue? Why only one? Are these credit cards in both names or one of the spouses is an authorized user? If neither, it's not worth including. Why not?
  21. OldUser
    Credit or debit, same fraud protection stuff applies blocking transactions. If you receive call / sms to confirm transaction, that's the game over. This means original transaction was declined and charge needs to be placed again. However, USCIS tries only once as per their policy. If unsuccessful, they reject packet and return it.

    Congrats, I heard it's nearly impossible nowadays. Not as far as I know. Your wife can print the copies, but originals of your docs aren't expected.

    Did you formally renounce Ukrainian citizenship? It doesn't dissappear automatically if you naturalize elsewhere. Renunciation is a long and difficult process, with final step being president himself signing a decree to allow renounciation. Sorry if I used "dual" term, more precise term is you have multiple citizenships.
  24. OldUser
    Originals at the interview are needed only for visa applicant. Wife should bring copies of your docs. This is a confusing statement. Do you mean you're a dual citizen, originally Ukraine and now naturalized US citizen?
  25. OldUser
    I'd consider to reschedule travel if I was you. Unless you're attending funeral, visiting sick parent, getting $1000000 cash on that trip etc. Good luck!
