In theory no. Because for such things the IO is supposed to only look at actual convictions and conviction equivalent. If your wife never plead guilty to teh shoplift charge then there is no conviction at all and the only conviction is about trespassing and it was 5 years ago. But still...

Are you sure she got it right? For tax purpose, there is no differenc ebetween POR and citizens. If a PR works for an international organization liek world bank, he/she is considered self-employed but still need to report income and pay taxes. Only those working on other nonimmigrant visa...

you have to check out rules but common sense tell me in this case death benefits does not dpend on whether vet's spouse is a citizen or not

I think your wife shouldbe honest. If she indeed stole, she should admit it and since there is no conviction on theft plus it is mor ethan 5 years so it does not matter. If you want to be on safe side, double check with the original charges and see if it is a petty theft or grand theft and...

There are two kind of address changes: one is for the purpose of law enforcement, which is done by AR-11. the other is for the service. At least on the past you need to do both if you have a service pending. USCIS try to combine both into one. But even if both are combined into one, you can...

It is said usually the IO did not ask "Did you do it" question but usually asked "what happened". Your wife can just say "I was charged with shoplifting and it was reduced to trespass" without diretcly mentioning whether really did it or not. But the IO indeed may ask"Did you really steal...

You can request to re-schedule oath to a local office in your new area. But it is said sometomes USCIS is very weird and re-scheduled oath is to still take place at yoru former USCIS office. It has been posted once here. Similar story. in that thread the poster decided, what the heck, to...

Oath letter is givin right after interview only when teh same day oath is avalaible at US offices. Otherwise teh best outcome from an inteeview is "recommdned for approval" and you are sent home to wait for oath letter. How long it takes depends on which regional offices.

So if the OPhad informed USCIS of divorce but USCIS had granted GC anyhow, the OP would be safe now.

Wait a minute. Is there a rule if USCIS give out a GC by mistake, then it has only 5 years to revoke it otherwise a GC issued is a GC issued unless there is some foulplay on the part of GC recipient? Of course,USCIS can argue that the OP should return the GC because he should clearly know...

When you reported AR-11 in January 2008 did you report your move on March 2007 or Jan 2008? If it is the former date, then you will have to report the same date on your N-400 anyway. No one will prosecute you for later filing of AR-11. If you reported Jan 2008 on AR-11, then USCIS can say...

Forget all about AR-11 and write residence history according to actual timeline.

Yes, you need report overseaas trip unless less than 24 hours. But as long as each one is short and they don't accumulate to more than half / past 5 years, there should not be a problem

No. 1070 days are way above half of 5 years. You have to wait sometime to let some of these 1070 days out of past 5 year window

Make sure the IO heed your name change withdrawal request. Put down this request emphatically but politely.

In that case, one answer is enough as long as it is from the answers USCIS prepared for you. if you come up your own answer then there is no guarantee. So use USCIS provided answer and don't be creative

You can withdraw name change request at the interview which I hope you have not done yet.
