US Immigration from Greece

Hello all,

My case is ready so I've been trying to pay the fee and book an appointment with the embassy, but for the past several days the site has been saying 'There are no available appointments at this time. Please check back in a few days as the Consular Section will open more appointments.'

The call center wasn't particularly helpful either.

This is the Athens embassy so I'm kind of surprised they have this much of a backlog lol.

Is there anything I can do besides obsessively refreshing the page?

Disclaimer: this is an unimportant question - skip if busy.

I took the oath last Thursday - my uscis account still says "Oath Ceremony Notice Was Mailed".

Will it stay like this forever?

Will the account exist forever (as a memento? that would actually be very cool)?

Hello everyone!
I have another question. How do you obtain a *US* birth certificate after naturalization and legal name change?
Can you even do that?
Obviously, I cannot travel back to my country and convince the authorities there to accept a foreign piece of paper that says I am not even a citizen of that country anymore
So, since you are now a US citizen, how do you get a US birth certificate, since you original birth certificate, first of all lists you as a citizen of another country and has the old name on it?

TIA!!!

Hey guys!
So I requested a legal name change when I applied for citizenship and it was approved. I am filling out a DS-11 form and it says "Previous names used". Will the old name be displayed on the passport as well or only the new name? I really do not want the old name, lol.
For what it is worth, it is a completely different name, both first and last. TIA!!!

Hello!!!

So my Oath ceremony is 9/13. I have two minor children, who will derive citizenship from me. Obviously only I, the adult, is taking the Oath the letter states bring all Green cards/Visas/any document that USCIS has issued you related to your alien status.

Ok... what about the kids' green cards?

I would think no (?) Because this is about the adult but I thought I would ask.

Also, after your Oath, what paperwork do you fill out to get your minor kids the derived citizenship?

To clarify: yes the minors become citizens when the adult becomes one but it is not magically updated somewhere. There is paperwork the adult citizen has to fill out, just like if you had a baby with an American and they got citizenship from the parent. Any idea what kind of paperwork and where you file that?

TIA
