    Naturalization and Child Support Issue

    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.

    Confused - USCIS 3 Month Residency Rule for N-400

    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...

    Name chage after interview, but before the oath ceremony

    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.

    Applying for citizenship - one way plane tickets?

    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.

    Name chage after interview, but before the oath ceremony

    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...

    applied for citizenship thru 3 yrs marriage but divirce after interview

    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...

    Correcting a Mistake on Form N-400

    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...

    N400 employment history

    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.

    n600

    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...

    married issue?

    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.

    Arrested after my citizenship test

    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...

    [N400] Tickets, tax and Selective service

    1. Bring the court document for the ticket to the interview, don't send it with the application. 2. You were not required to register, and presumably you must be over 31 by now so even if you were supposed to register it doesn't matter any more. 3. No, you don't need to send those IRS letters...

    SB-1 Visa, continuous residency requirements for Naturalization

    Maybe, maybe not. Depends on how they view the fact that she needed an SB-1 to return. It would be safer to wait out the 3 years, but given that they gave her back the original GC it probably means they don't view her SB-1 as "starting over" so she could be OK to apply this year with the 2...

    Eligibility for Citizenship Application as 5Yr GC holder - still submit proof of marriage?

    You won't need to submit the large stack of marriage-related paperwork if you choose the 5-year rule. However, at the interview they may ask for the marriage certificate regardless of which category you apply under.

    Address in App different from Driver license

    So, you want to commit fraud against the county by pretending to live somewhere you don't live? You're on your own with that. Yes, sometimes they will ask for your DL or state ID in the interview. Especially if you've recently changed your address. Are you sure that they're going to stop...

    Green Card expires 09/16 - do I have time to compete naturalization?

    Did you mean 9/2015? 9/16 is 18 months away. If you apply with more than 6 months remaining on the GC, you will be entitled to free I-151 stamping if your GC expires while your naturalization is still pending. Having an expired GC at the oath is rarely a problem, but having an expired one at...
