I thought so... not sure if anybody had a ceremony at Federal Plaza...

 

Also for people on this last leg of a very exhausting journey, does anybody know if we are breaking any laws pre-filling the Passport Forms at the Dept of State web site so we have a form all ready to submit right after the ceremony ?

 

My concern is that some government official may interpret that we are claiming to be a US Citizen when filling out the passport form where we have not yet gone through the ceremony.

 

 

it's not advisable to do that. it's same as claiming to be US citizen.

Thanks for your opinion... wasn't sure whether claiming to be US citizen would apply when I 'Submit' it not at the stage of filling it (not even signed).

That was my thought too. I think the only harm is signing and submitting before the ceremony. Filling it out, printing it and keeping it until after the ceremony shouldn't be a problem. i have a prefilled form at home that I'll be taking with me to the ceremony so that I can submit right after.

I thought the pre-filled DS-11 submits something to the Dept of State?  So when they scan your form, they already have a copy in their system?  Thats the part that worries me.

Why take the chance after coming so far? Just wait it out until it's official and stop playing with fire.

The website tells you not to sign the form until requested to do so by authorized agent. On the signature page ther is an oath that asks you to swear you're a citizen by signing. If it's not signed then it shouldn't be s problem

I actually went to the same one who had initially looked over my n400, but he was nice enough not to charge me any $; he told me to give it 2 months and if I don't hear anything by then he can write them a letter. Hopefully my case is back on track (as he suggested) after the 2nd FP. Now the long wait for the actual interview begins...
