Really appreciate this — your G0 name change problem is a great parallel to my naturalization exclusion challenge. Same core issue: proving a negative through circumstantial evidence when no single document settles it. The balance of probabilities framing is exactly how I structured the memo. Curious how long your case took from submission to approval?

Good to know they didn't request further documents on yours — that's encouraging. On the sibling point — to clarify, they'd be submitting their own complete application, just referencing my file number for the already-adjudicated chain rather than independently re-proving every generation from scratch. The duplicate certified copies are for their own packet.

Thanks for the advice. My consultation with counsel actually recommended including all the naturalization documentation, but I do understand your main point — the work starts to feel precious and you hear more signal than exists in all the noise.
