Long Road
Hi everyone I just would like to share my experience and hopefully it could help someone aspiring to be a U.S. citizen.
I sent my application July 28, 2016 and got a confirmation that it was accepted on August 2nd. On August 6 I was scheduled for biometrics. I waited from August 2016 until Feb 22nd when I got my interview notice for an April 6 interview. The interview went well and I thought I was approved for recommendation but unfortunately a decision cannot be made because "I need to provide a proof of child support."
For a start, both my two kids are in the Philippines studying. They do not have legal papers yet to come here but still I was asked to show proof of child support. So for anyone applying for naturalization and have kids in their home country don't forget to bring a copy of remittances be it via Western Union or any bank as long as you have proof that you are supporting your kids.
Back to my case, on April 28, 2017 I got an RFE (Request For Evidence) letter from USCIS. What I did was ask Western Union to provide me a copy of my remittance since 2009. By May 15, 2017 my lawyer submitted my proof of child support and I thought it'd be a short adjudication since they only asked for one document. I have waited from May 15 'til August 31 to get an update saying I was my N400 application was approved and on the next day September 1 my online account was updated again that the Oath of Ceremony letter was mailed. It was a long and arduous process but Im almost at the finish line.
During the interview just tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Declare any traffic violations if you have any and if you have kids in your home country make sure you get your proof of child support before going to the interview.
I wish everyone all the best. Just persevere. You will get there. With God's help :)
