Naturalization (N-400) Journey
LPR-5-year entrance in a fourth domain, SAME engine. Sequential WAITS on USCIS (biometrics → interview). LOOP: civics test failed then passed on re-test (history preserved). JOIN: 3 of 4 final-decision prerequisites converge — tax compliance still active; "Ready for final decision" stays locked until all four meet.
