Thanks. That's good to know finally.

What confuses me is that I thought the general rule is that you cannot have absences between 6 months and 12 months on your record in the past 3 years. And now it looks like they do allow you to naturalize with such a long absence at the beginning. Should I prepare some evidence for the...

I have been married to my husband for a lot longer than 3 years so that wouldn't be a problem...I know I cannot apply 90 days prior if I want to use the 2 year 1 day rule. So does it look like it does apply to me?

In addition, I already have been an LPR for over 3 years. Continuous residence is my only problem and I don't know if I could go ahead and apply or if I should wait for another year. I came back almost 2 years ago so I already have 18 months of physical presence. I keep receiving conflicting...

My naturalization application would be based on marriage to a USC and I know 3 years minus 90 days of permanent residency is required in regular cases. For naturalization purposes, can only people with re-entry permits get naturalized by this rule or does it apply to anyone who got admitted...

When you go to the citizenship interview, do you have to take all the important correspondence and papers you have had with the USCIS? Can they ask questions about/from for the removal of conditions papers or the I-130? I just want to be prepared when I apply. What official papers are worth...

So it doesn't mean military-related cases would be processed faster...

I am sorry about your situation but I don't understand why you didn't become a citizen when you had the opportunity to do so. You've been a resident since 1997. You had almost 8-9 years to get naturalized. Why would you want to become a citizen after this long absence and not beforehand? If you...

As a military spouse, I am supposed to send my application to the Nebraska Service Center - according to the USCIS website. Are they the only ones that have the expertise to process these cases or is this optional actually? I know the Nebraska Service Center is not as busy as the others so maybe...

Thank you for your explanation. I get it now. Yes, I'm going to change both my first and last names so I'll definitely need to do this on form N-400.

Thank you. It's good to know that all that would fit my time-frame. I'm going to change my whole name and take my husband's last name and Americanize my first name. So I think I need a name change, which I don't mind. It is just unbelievable that it is "free" through naturalization while it's so...

Thank you for the clarification. This is exactly what my question is about because I heard for example, applicants at the San Francisco field office don't have the opportunity to get a name change through naturalization and I don't know how this works in San Antonio. How much time do you think...

Hi, 1. I would like to know whether you guys would recommend a name change through naturalization or later through a separate court order. Which one is better and easier? 2. I heard some field offices don't even provide the opportunity to change your name through naturalization. Does...
