I think the hotels in EU offer it as a courtesy - to safely keep in their locker for the duration of the stay, since they don't provide lockers in the hotel rooms.

I used to be of the opinion that you had to declare all minor traffic tickets on N400, so I did. During the interview process the IO scratched off the traffic tickets with a pen, and told me that I only had to put it down if I was taken into custody.

Don't count on it. I applied in Sept 2007, and took the oath in Sept 2008, my case status online...was always invalid.

They are your children, if you are their mother or father. If you did not adopt them legally, your husband is the father, his ex-wife is the mother. You are not the parent, and they are not your legal children. If you adopted them, then the ex-wife is no longer the mother, and they are...

They won't be actively monitoring all naturalized citizens, but if you get into legal trouble in the future, they can open your files and check. The most common one is "have you ever claimed to be a US Citizen?" There have been several cases where they haved used that question to denaturalize...
