Hello,
I became a permanent resident in 2012, I’ve decided to finally naturalize. I came to the USA in 1999 as a visitors visa and overstayed. I met my husband he is a US citizen by birth we had a daughter and that’s how I obtained my permanent resident card obviously years later. I lost the initial passport we arrived in the US with, however I have two passports since then one expired one active. My question is do I need the original passport I arrived with for this interview.?
Second question. If they asked me how did I come into this country? How do I reply? Should I say on a visitors visa?
I know I overstayed my visa and I know I’m a legal permanent resident now and eligible for my citizenship but I’m paranoid about the over stayed visa part I’m scared to naturalized is this normal? No criminal history haven’t left the country and have been filing my taxes.
