    My wife became a US citizen today in Albuquerque NM. 163 new citizens and more than twice as many guests. It was a fine and moving ceremony. Best wishes to all of you in reaching your goals!

    It looks like current Albuquerque naturalizations are being presided over by a US District Court Judge at the Convention Center (there may be other ceremonies at other locations that I don't know of). Here's the Court's schedule: https://www.nmd.uscourts.gov/naturalizations

    April 6: We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, be approved. Your case was submitted for quality review. April 11: Your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, was placed in line for oath ceremony scheduling. Also April 11: Oath Ceremony Notice Was Mailed. Oath ceremony will be May 12, two days from now. So from time of being placed in line for ceremony to date of ceremony: 31 days.

    I believe that unless their employers provide subsidized coverage, they'll be relegated to healthcare.gov in Arizona. Anticipate several hundred dollars per month per person. https://www.healthinsurance.org/health-insurance-marketplaces/arizona/#:~:text=Arizona uses the federally run,health plans through HealthCare.gov.

    ExpressVPN works fine for me. They have servers in both the US and the Philippines.

    I'm sorry now that I that I troubled the OP with a war story about an avenue that no longer exists. Thank you for setting things straight.

    They won't (I think) until we return to the Philippines with her US passport. Or if she decides to reaffirm/reacquire Philippine citizenship here in the US.
  28. Mountainside
    She'll automatically lose Philippine citizenship when she becomes an American citizen. But she might reacquire/reaffirm Philippine citizenship at some point, and become a dual citizen.

    Wife's interview was today. 15 minutes and recommended for approval. Friendly officer with standard questions. No documents asked for. Officer said oath ceremony should be in about 45 days. All good so far!
  33. Mountainside
    Yes. Because, and ONLY because I could prove I was both a US and Philippine domiciliary, we were able to file directly in Manila. It was a huge time-saver for us. See pages 5-6 of the Form I-864 Instructions for pertinent domicile conditions. Feel free to PM me if you wish.

    Obtained spousal visa in the Phils. Because I had simultaneous domiciles in the Phils and the US (and we lived in the Phils at the time), our application was processed by the Manila Embassy in a few months. The Embassy folks were great. We came to the US in 2019. Her interview for naturalized US citizenship is tomorrow. She's well prepared. As you will be for your permanent resident visa process. Speaking as a former Nevadan, I think your bride will enjoy the views form Minden/Gardnerville. Mine did.

    My wife had been single and never married when I met her. I'm not informed about I-29. It's not too early to start thinking about arranging the date of your marriage ceremony, whether at a regional trial court or otherwise. As you might suspect, getting a quick wedding date in the Phils, once all the necessary documents are in hand, is not easily done. Recognizing that you're in a time squeeze, I think an attorney who is well-connected with your local regional trial court might be of assistance.
