It's totally your call how long to wait. You just have to research for other people's cases, see their timelines and compare the instaces of success and failure. How strong is your case? Just ask yourself how likely it is for judge to buy your argument that you have waited beyond reasonable...

I am quite hesitant to recommend the lawsuit at this point. The main contention is the 120 days statue seems to not apply to your case, and as such, you have a heavy burden to prove that you have waited a reasonable amount of time. Longer the waiting time is, a stronger case you have. You...

Let me get this straight. So sometime last year, you separated your joint account from your husband's and change your last name back to maiden name? You might have a legitimate reasons for doing so but for an average person who doesn't know your motivation, that sounds too much like you are...

You've been married for at least 3 years (as your N-400 is based on it) but still do not have joint banking or credit card accounts? Why is that? Driver's licenses from 2 different states? The worst of all, why did you change your last name to husband's in the first place if you were planning...

None of us here can know conclusively what is causing a problem for your case. You stated that you got stuck from some kind of USCIS internal check. Interagency Border Inspection System is the check internally done by USCIS. So it seems that would be a good guess. The thing is IBIS system...

The rule is clear about this. You are no longer eligible for naturalization based on a 3 year marriage to a US citizen the moment you were divorced. You absolutely still have to be married to your US citizen spouse up until the point you are sworn in at the ceremony. You'll have to apply again...

Name and fingerprint checks are only two parts of an overall background check, which also includes USCIS's internal check as a third part. However, USCIS part of the security check is normally quick, thus we rarely hear any problems associated with it. If I care to guess, USCIS part of...

When your AOS was approved, you officially became a LPR. When you are a permanent resident, you are required to travel with a proof of LPR. Thus your AP is no longer valid.

Option 1 is probably preferable. Get in before 1 year is up and apply for reentry permit while there, one each for you and your baby.

IMO, it's best to look professional, ie, suit and tie. If you were an interviewing officer, what would think about someone who comes in shorts and T-shirt? The good first impression goes a long way.

That sort of seems to be common with Vermont Center lately. They are getting backed up.

Someone once descirbed N-400 as a mass produce assembliy line. As long as you are in the moving belt, your application gets processed in a reasonable time. But when you fall off the line for any reason, it requires someone to pick it up and put it back in the line. And that's when most of...

If you've seen how they handle your passport application at the oath, you would probably think twice about applying there. They just dump them in large boxes without checking thoroughly. Makes me wonder how they manage not to mess up a few. 800 oath takers mean the handling of the passport...

Reschduling the oath ceremony due to a vacation plan is a foolish idea. You really have to consider your priority. What makes more sense to reschedule? Your vacation plan or oath? DC should have a passport office where you can get your passport within a day or two.
