Congrats!

Unsolicited advice #1: make sure your husband updates status with SSA. Checkbox on N-400 form doesn't take care of it.

Unsolicited advice #2: Let him apply for large passport book. It's same size but has more pages. It doesn't cost any extra to do it. Many countries charge extra for large passport books. It will ensure he won't run out of pages before passport expires. Even if he doesn't plan travelling too much, I can't see how having an option (which is free) is a bad thing.

 

 

 

Will do!  We have our passport application appointment this morning!  Thank you!

Wow -- glad that you made it to the ceremony under the wire!

 

Amidst the general happiness and relief, perhaps you'll also agree that it's uniquely satisfying to fill in that final box in your VJ timeline.   

 

It really is!  It's just a relief to be done.  Funny enough, my cousin will be embarking on the same journey starting next week when he marries his Thai fiancé.  We've promised to help with their CR1 application.  

 

VisaJourney has been so wonderful.  We couldn't have gotten through the 6 years without it.  The collective knowledge and resources were tremendously helpful in our case. A big THANK YOU to everyone who contributes!!!!

I wanted to update you all. I successfully passed my N-400 interview and was very surprised to have the same day oath ceremony! I got my naturalization certificate and I'm very happy to be out of the process - finally! I took an attorney with me but they did not need to do anything. The officer was great. She went over every single question on N-400 and was very detail oriented. I was very worried but her demeanor really helped calm my nerves so was very grateful. She did not ask for a single document other than the GC and Driver's license. I had a ton of documents prepped but they were not needed. I already applied for the US passport and registered to vote. I was disappointed that the USPS acceptance agent decided to staple my Naturalization certificate Once I have it back, it is going in a fireproof safe  Best of luck to everyone who is still awaiting your interviews.

 

What time was your interview?
