Get a lawyer Frankly, I would get a legal opinion. Shouldn't be more than 15 minutes of a lawyers time, though they charge you for an hour. Still almost nothing. I had a straight forward case and still engaged a lawyer for 1/2 hour to go over the process with me. Well worth it.

do it I would go ahead with the application and make sure someone is checking your mail while you are gone. For that matter, you can sign up for email and text notifications so you'll get an email saying that something is being mailed and you'll need a friend to go to your home and open the...

had a similar experience I had a similar experience..everything went o.k., but the IO seemed a little green. It took less than a week for them to put me in oath scheduling. It'll be fine, don't worry about it.

just tell them they know the rules...it never came up in my interview and I was in my 30s when I got my GC. If they ask, just say you were however old you were when you got your GC.

Think you are fine I don't know for certain, but I don't think that USCIS cares about civil matters. If it was a criminal matter, then maybe. In my interview, the person did ask me if I had ever been in a courtroom and I mentioned a small claims case and the officer didn't pursue that.

Can you change your plans? I had a trip planned for when my interview was and came home early. If you can make it work, I'd suggest keeping your oath as you don't want to fall into a black hole. After you get your oath and your passport, you're a free man

useful if you lose your passport A friend of mine was traveling abroad and lost his passport book. He was able to go to the US Embassy with his passport card and it made it much easier to get a new passport.

Adding my details My oath is tomorrow, but adding my details to the SFO thread.

depends depends on your home country. Some countries llet you keep both others you lose your original citizenship.
