Hi,

I got my Oath Ceremony Schedule and in the paper it says that to bring this letter, with all the questions on page 2 answered. Then when i turned the page 2, it says that " You must answer these questions the day you are to appear for your citizenship oath ceremony." I am confused wheather to answer these questions at home before going to the ceremony or during the ceremony. Need some advise please..... Thanks

Yes, answer them the day of the ceremony. Just in case you do get a speeding ticket the day before the oath, then you still can list that. ;) You can complete the sheet at home, but if you live in XY, but take the oath in AB, make sure you put down AB as place.

That's what I did. When I arrived there and the IO checked my letter, he told me that it was incomplete because it had to be signed. I told him I had waited to do so because I wasn't sure if I was supposed to sign it in front of an IO. He said that didn't matter and sent me off to sign the letter and have it ready when it was time to turn it in.

You can fill it out at home, BUT do it the DAY of your oath ceremony. Its to verify nothing has changed --or if it has---since your interview!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
