    That's ok to have personal accounts in addition to joint. I have this setup. Major joint expenses like utility bills, mortgage, car loans, property taxes, big purchases are paid from joint account. However, personal account is still used for credit card expenses on things each of us buys. My I-751 was approved.

    No point in deleting this post. If everybody deleted posts on VisaJourney, the website would be empty. Make sure to make photos on your phone or copies of your NOA and any docs for USCIS. Losing them can be painful, especially if you don't have copies

    You can do the minimum, you can do the maximum. Most likely, you won't be asked for it. But if you are and you don't have evidence with you - how would you feel? I brought hundreds of pages of various evidence with me. I didn't have to show any. Many times, when officer sees you brought a lot of evidence, they don't ask for it. But if you come emptyhanded - they do ask a lot of times

    I wouldn't bring the phone. Reason: if you bring it, you may be asked to show its contents. Rarely, but happens.

    Few weeks

    Most likely, won't be asked any questions, but there is small chance always

    It's USCIS. They look for financial comingling Agree with this
  8. OldUser
    I-751 instructions ask for as much evidence as you can produce from start or marriage until date of filing. I went with this approach and got approved. I wouldn't write letters about not comingling. Don't highlight it.

    That's true, but sometimes letters take 2-3 weeks to arrive to recepient, 7-10 days before ceremony is scheduled. If OP is travelling to see ill father, depending on stage and nature of cancer, things can turn wrong fast and OP will have to stay outside the US longer. If OP is travelling to Ukraine, there are additional risks associated with war going on and trains, buses etc getting stuck

    Missing oath ceremony is not ideal

    They may repeat it themselves. I think officer said it twice during exam, but I can't be sure. The sentences are short. I think spelling is pretty strict, but I may be wrong. There is a list of sentences they can use. AFAIK, they don't make it up. So she can prepare

    Are you still waitin for decision on N-400 or it was really approved and you're waiting for ceremony? If you're waiting for decision, USCIS has 120 days to make it after interview. It's been 128 days since interview as of today. You can legally sue USCIS for decision on your case (Writ of Mandamus)
  13. OldUser
    Job is irrelevant for N-400. Unless you work at dispensary or sex industry, you will get naturalized. Even being unemployed is OK. Just tell the truth if asked. Don't tell stories, you don't need to justify anything. Just say "raising kids", "freelancing" or whatever the case is.

    Congrats! Make sure to take photos of front and back just in case!

    It's a random number generator. I didn't check, but some people claimed it showed some estimates after they got naturalized and had their passport in hand. Paying attention to it can drive one crazy

    This improves chances for many. Large tech companies can afford 100K per highly skilled employee. Smaller employers in other fields will suffer the most IMHO.
  17. OldUser
    Scan entire I-864 after signing and submit that. Do not submit random page from entire form.

    Congrats! Make sure she updates status with SSA
  19. OldUser
    Congrats!

    Whether this will satisfy the officer - your mileage may vary
  21. OldUser
    Bring errata sheet to interview listing all names.
  22. OldUser
    Good points about police certificates etc
  23. OldUser
    It's great you recognized and fixed the mistake. It should not be an issue.

    Yes, it will be used against you. And this makes the process very tricky. You need to get divorce lawyer ASAP. You may be at losing end when it comes to divorce terms, but major compromise on your end is likely needed to secure your stay in the US. Of course, not saying give up your kids etc. But you have major disadvantage because of I-751 and may need to find a solution with USC. Make sure you're clear about your immigration with divorce lawyer. Most of them would be treating you like they would a US citizen - trying to get you a better deal. You may not have luxury of time to go back and forth too much. By the way, I'm really sorry you're going through this, it must be hard

    There's no 6-month waiting period. The earliest a couple can divorce is 6 months from the day the other spouse was served divorce papers or responded in court. This is a waiting period. There isn't one for a legal separation. Source: https://selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/divorce-california/legal-separation
