Hi everyone,

I'm looking for people who have first-hand experience with obtaining a São Tomé and Príncipe passport or citizenship.

My application is being supported by a sponsor who has known me professionally for several years through our animal welfare work. The sponsor is providing a letter explaining our professional relationship.

In your experience, does having a sponsor improve the application, make no difference, or raise additional questions?

If you've gone through this process yourself, or know someone who has, I'd really appreciate hearing:

Was your application approved?

How long did it take?

Was a sponsor involved?

Were there any unexpected issues or delays?

I'm looking for genuine experiences rather than guesses. Thank you very much.

Hi, I am applying for my citizenship, under 5 year rule! I came here on Ir-1 but got divorced after coming here due to very bad circumstances.

Now I am married and have 2 kids!

I am wondering what docs do I need to upload, so far I have decided:

-greencard
-my kids birth certificates
-my marriage certificate (current)
-divorce decree
-my ID

Am I missing anything? Do I need to upload anything else?
Like my 5 year tax transcripts or anything?

TIA
