She's screwed. Without evidence of having paid child support or an official document saying she does not have to pay child support, or at least a notarized statement from her ex saying that she has paid the support as agreed and does not owe anything, she almost certainly won't be naturalized.

The main problem with moving during the N-400 process is that they often don't fully process your new address, and they end up sending important mailings like the interview letter to the old address, and you end up missing the appointment. So it is risky to change your address during the...

You have to show up on the 17th anyway, either to actually take the oath or to request a name change and postponement of the oath. You don't want the delays and complications of being a no-show.

For the naturalization process they don't ask about the tickets you used for each trip. When you are at the port of entry they also don't care unless you have a history of long and/or frequent trips outside the US. 3-4 months outside the US per year should not be a problem.

Having a name change at this point as part of the naturalization process will probably delay your oath by 2-3 months. In addition to having to file your name change paperwork with the court, they'll also have to schedule you for a judicial oath which occurs less frequently than the regular...

So you have nothing to worry about. You can go ahead and reapply right now if you meet all the requirements for the 5 year rule (not just having a green card for 5 years, but also physical presence etc.).

Citizenship denial usually does not result in deportation or loss of the green card. The reason for denial and the underlying facts of your situation will determine whether you can reapply immediately or whether you have to wait some number of days, weeks, months or years. For the denial to...

Why would a newly printed page have a different bar code? Did you obtain the form from USCIS instead of printing it yourself? If you have not submitted it yet, print and redo the particular page. But if you have already submitted it, tell the interviewer about the correction when they start...

The job title on the green card application is based on the job you will have once the green card is approved, and it doesn't have to match the job you have during the green card process. So write the job title(s) you had as a green card holder.

You can put May 2010 if you want, since it asks for the last 5 years of work history.

Were you employed legally all along? If yes, stop worrying!

If you have already showed them your green card for the I-9, and you're still in the same job, they're not supposed to reverify your status when the card expires. And if you have a Social Security card without the employment restriction wording on it, for the I-9 you can use the unrestricted SS...

If you don't have enough space for your full employment history, attach a separate sheet of paper with the older jobs, and write "see attached sheet" at the end of the employment history section of the N-400.

If you answer falsely to the arrested question, they can revoke your citizenship and deport you if they find out later that you lied. They don't routinely do background checks after the oath ceremony, but sometimes prosecutors will investigate the immigration history of suspects and convicts in...

You need to file 1447(b).
