The key idea

Make copies. Keep originals. Write dates. Do not give your only papers away.

Read the lesson

Before you file, make a simple file. Photo of your green card, front and back. List of trips: date out, date back, country. Tax years you filed. Letters from USCIS. A copy of the N-400 you send. Keep this file on your phone and on paper. Do not give the only copy to a helper. If USCIS asks a question later, your file is how you answer with proof.

This is general education, not legal advice. Honest Path School is independent of USCIS. We do not file applications, decide your citizenship status, or promise approval. Government forms are free at uscis.gov. Use current official instructions for your next step.
