i751
Hello,
I have a doubt! I am preparing for my N400.
I filled my petition I751 in 2017 and got approved in January 2019. I submitted the application , and supporting evidence by paper since there was no option to do it online back then.
I lost my I751 docs due to flooding, if I submit a FIOAPA request , will they be able to send me everything I submitted , including evidence , such as but not limited to Tax returns , photos , affidavits , lease agreements, etc.
The reason I ask is because I read that through the retention policy with USCIS and federal policy. They destroy your evidence due to retention policy. I wanted to know if anything knows about this topic , because I do not want to submit a FOIA since it takes a long time , if they will not have them.
What are you experiences and knowledge.
Appreciate your respond into this question

N400 application - 5 year rule
Anyone applied under the 5 year rule here, I need your advice, please.
Been holding a green card for 7 years now ( got it through marriage to US citizen). We are still married and have kids.
Now I want to apply for citizenship and I was told it is more relevant to apply under the 5 year rule because it requires less paperwork and doesn't take much time.
I have started my application but I reached where they ask for marriage documents and stuff. Do I have to upload all that? If I am applying on general provision, do I have to dig out all the documents again and upload them all? Or should I apply without including that and take them with me on interview day in case officer will want to look at them.
Has anyone been in the same situation, what have you done?
If you reply that I should include all docs, please share a list of relevant docs that I should upload.
Thanks a bunch in advance!!

N400 interview passed status remains "Interview scheduled"
Hi, I did my citizenship interview on 25th November. Officer congratulated me that I passed and gave page saying they are recommending for approval, but status remains as "Interview scheduled". Any idea how long it takes to change this. Others who did interview same day in same office has their status immediately changed to "Oath ceremony to be scheduled"

Surprisingly quick naturalization process.
My I-751 was pending for 2 years. I applied N-400 during August this year in California.
Got a Biometrics re-use notice a week later
September 4, 2025 - Got interview notice for Oct 13, 2025
Interview done and easy questions were asked . I followed this free website to practice for the test - https://ustest.online and all questions asked were from a couple of exams taken on this website. Whoever created it, thanks a lot and I have donated to keep the site up and running.
Reading and writing test was easy as well. Thanks to this group for the help with immigration journey,

Need suggestion on N-400 Naturalization form Part-9 15.b question
I got my GC on July 2007 and renewed on July 2017 and will be expiring on 12/2027. Now I am going to apply for Citizenship and starting filling the online N-400 Naturalization form. In that form Part-9 15.b there is question "Have you Ever been arrested, citied, detained or confined by any law enforcement officer, military official (in the U.S. or elsewhere), or immigration official for any reason, or been charged with a crime or offense?"
For this question I am planning to answer "Yes" because
The reason was "On 02/09/2006, I was arrested in violation of CA Code 273d(a)PC Child Abuse. This charge was heard by the Superior Court of the State of California, county of Ventura on 04/04/2006. The complaint was discharged on the same day because the court found there was not sufficient evidence for the District Attorney to prosecute. [The above same reason was attached as an addendum to I-485 application when my I-485 application was filed on 2/2006.]. So I am planning to add the above reason in Part 14. Additional information section.
Also Part-9 15.b there is a table with below questions. I am planning to put these answers.
What was the crime or offense ? Arrested due to Child abuse (note: for this question i have enter very short answer due to no space available in online N-400 form).
Date of Crime or offense ? 02/09/2006
Date of Your Conviction or guilty plea ? N/A
Place of Crime or Offense ? Thousand Oaks, CA
What was the result or disposition of the arrest, or citation, or charge? Discharged by court
What was your sentence? N/A
My question are:
1) Shall I provide the above answer to those questions?
2) Do i have to submit any additional documents or proof when i submit the N-400 form online?
3) Will there be any complication come based on the above answers for those questions?
Thank you for your time & providing the suggestion!

Applying for n-400, almost 4 years since I received GC
Hi all! I am planning to apply n400 as I am coming up at almost 4 years since I received my GC. Just wanted to understand in general if now is a good time or should I wait? Also, has anyone traveled internationally for a short trip (multiple trips) after applying - if it doesnt affect your interview/appointment dates? Any recommendations in general for the application? I also have an almost 1 year old baby so I know that the birth certificate for baby should be added to the application. Any and all recommendations are welcome! Thank you so much!

Hi,
I've been waiting a decision on my case since Feb 2025. I applied September and got scheduled on Jan, and interview completed Feb 2025, It was based on 3 year rule, I brought my spouse.
Any thought, advices? Should I just wait or is there anything I can do? I did everything without lawyer.
Thanks
