Thank you.

I am not sure under what base your friend got her immigrant visa, but in case "marriage based/employment based" then if she has her EAD (employment authorization document) which is a plastic card, not really a document then yes, she is authorized to work. I hope this helps. Some others might going to chime in with a more intelligent answer than mine. All the best!

She received her immigrant visa through the standard way. Her father petitioned for her.

Good day,

If I posted in the wrong place, I apologize.

I am asking this question on behalf of a friend who just recently moved to the US with an immigrant visa. She applied for jobs and receive alot of callback, but was scared that she might not be eligibile to work because she hasn't received her green card yet. So, my question is: Is she eligible to work? I am thinking 'yes' because she received an immigrant visa and not a nonimmigrant. If yes, what proofs can she submit to the prospective employer if asked about the green card? Perhaps a statement from the agency stating that the green card is on the way, if possible? She does have a social security number, and it doesn't say anywhere on it about not being able to work.

Your feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

We plan to get married on July outside of US .

Is it Enought the Ticket to show the internacional Travel , because there is no way to book a ticket without Passport is it ?!

Well, I did book the ticket long before my oath ceremony cause I knew that the passport agency in my city does same-day passport, had an appointment and my intention was to fly out on the date that was printed on the ticket.

Unless your ticket is legit, don't do it. Once you submit your application to the passport agency officer or whoever takes your application at the agency, they will ask you to raise your right hand and swear that every information on the application is true.

The person at the passport agency that processed my application glanced at my itinerary for less than 10 seconds so I wouldn't know if they really care about whether the ticket I had was legit or not but I wouldn't risk it.

Do you have appointment with a passport agency? When do you want to book the ticket for?

My fiance will have his Oath Ceremony on 8th July.

We have some plans out US last week of July can anyone update how long are taking the proccesing for first time aplication for US PASSPORT ?!

Is there any chance to take for 10 days ??

My oath ceremony was on 26th June, I went to the Los Angeles Passport Agency on 28th June for my 8AM appointment and at 3PM I had my US Passport in hand. Of course, all of this is meaningless if you don't have an urgent reason or need for the passport such as international travel within the next 72 hours.

You can get away with not having an appointment IF your international travel is within the next 72 hours otherwise they would ask you to come back with an appointment. Different passport agency has different way of dealing with people that shows up without an appointment.

I also heard that some passport agency doesn't service same-day passport, so check with your agency.

KPMG, Daimler, BP, Royal Dutch Shell, Toyota, Nissan, ING Group, Allianz, LG, Samsung, Volkswagen, Volvo, Siemens, HSBC, Sony, Toshiba, BMW just to name a few.

A big congrats to the recent group of Jan peeps for their recent oaths!

Thank you!

Congratulations! I had my oath ceremony in the LA Convention Center at 1 pm yesterday. You guys must have gone to the morning session.

Congratulation to you too! We both were at 1PM yesterday too. However I did went to the 8AM (sister's oath ceremony time) and 1PM (myself).

8AM had 2,562 naturalized citizen

1PM had 2,537 naturalized citizen

Top 5 countries yesterday's ceremony (both 8AM and 1PM):

1. Mexico

2. Phillipines

3. Iran

4. El Salvador

5. China

I am US CITIZEN now

thank you guys...

I was definitely over the moon to become a US citizen but at the same time I wasn't feeling all that after witnessing a staff escorting my mother (her oath ceremony was scheduled same day/time as mine) off the hall. She was given a motion to reopen the case and that she needs to response back in 15 days otherwise her case will be denied. Already forwarded the letter to our lawyer and only time will keep us updated now. I'm still pissed. With that being, I do not want to convulse her case by speaking about it at this stage since it is too early. That might very well be the only reason why I did not want to update my list and talk about the experience but it was definitely a beautiful moment to be saying the oath of allegiance.

The list format is all messed up and I don't have the time to trace back to the culprit and I'm not going to do so. All I'm going to say is I'M A U.S. CITIZEN.

Good luck all and please update me.

I also live in west Los Angeles, so would my oath be at L.A.C.C, too? I checked out the January thread, I see what you're saying. I'm currently in line, looks like those are usually scheduled a month later from the in line date, or so, although I did see someone who was scheduled 2 weeks later. It's interesting to see people who filed at the very end of the month be approved before people who filed first of the month from the same service center.

Your oath ceremony will most likely be in L.A.C.C. but that's not a guarantee, the reason I said that is because a friend of mine who also lived in West Los Angeles was scheduled for an oath ceremony in Pomona, that's like an hour away. This was 6 years ago.

Your interview location will most likely be @ 300 North Los Angeles St, Los Angeles, CA 90012

Oh wow, how does one find out when and where oath ceremonies are taking place? Good luck to you, I hope you get in to the one closest to you. I don't think I'd mind driving far to get this all over with as soon as possible. lol

BTW I could not get the format right I don't know if it's my computer but for the life of me I couldn't get it right. my EB date seems to be sticking out and going to the next line. Can you see if you can fix it, please? thanks.

If you look at January filers me and another user where both of our field office is in Los Angeles, we both sent our package on the same day, I waited for the Bio exact date while the other user went for EB, he lives in East Los Angeles while I live in West Los Angeles and we both have our oath ceremony on the same day. It took us exactly 148 days which is roughly 4.8 months.

Another user in January filers whose field office is also in Los Angeles stopped participating after his last post which was 05/01/13 for his interview.. The next oath ceremony after his interview was on May 23rd and if that was the case then he completed his journey exactly 140 days which is roughly 4.6 months. If he missed that oath, then the next oath ceremony would have been on June 26th then it would have taken 174 days which is roughly 5.7 months.

With that being said, I would say give it close to or at 5 months.

When oath ceremonies are taking place can be found at http://www.cacd.uscourts.gov/clerk-services/naturalization-ceremony-locations-and-schedule BUT where oath ceremonies are taking places really depends on where you live. They are going to throw you to the nearest ceremony based on your zip code.

yes sir.. I am pretty sure

it said like " Please report promply at 12.33PM ".

btw, I did change my last name .. is there any different between people change name and just use the same name ?

------

No differences, I don't think so. If there was a differences, they would have told you right there and then at the interview day. I also changed my last name.

Thanks so much.. i appreciate it.

No problem.

Haha.. sorry I think i didn't explain it properly. We don't want the whole process to be done by that time, just the fingerprints. If we can get the biometrics done before the end of July, that is all we need. haha.. sorry, I didn't mean to seem OVERLY hopeful. haha.

Oh yeah, just a question, how do you know if the check was cashed?

Glad you cleared that out, that's certainly doable.. good luck.

You have to call up or go to the check/cashier check/money order issuer, request the status of the check/cashier check/money order as they are the only ones who have a record of the transaction. (Some require you to pay a fee to check, this is specially true for USPS money order).

I think Tara is hoping for the biometrics to be scheduled before her trip overseas and not necessarily complete the naturalization journey.

A lot of the April filers received the biometrics appointment within 30 days of sending their applications.

My estimate, depending on how busy your ASC is, it will probably be around July 12-16, 2013

One can certainly leave in the middle of the N400 processing but it's not recommended as it is not the norm and it can go as far as jeopardizing your process (which I doubt) so I was assuming Tara was hoping to become a US citizen before the family wedding trip.. we will never know which assumption is right until Tara speaks out!

Adding Kandy_MBT, Hasan123, fixing your formatting again.

The problems with the formatting are found where the new people are added. Probably the info is added by copying and pasting the information from the new poster's message, or new users are selecting their own style of font when adding to the timeline. Don't do that. That makes it funky because of different fonts, etc. Then when someone else comes to add to the timeline, everything looks like a timeline that's gone mad. When you locate the spot on the timeline by chronological order for where you're putting the new filer, copy and paste the filer's timeline that's above. and REMEMBER TO CHANGE THEIR INFORMATION to the new filer's. and please recheck to make sure you haven't deleted anyone else's information.

THIS. THIS. I vote for the instruction to be moved up rather than it being at the bottom. I usually fix the issue and not report at all but that can get tiresome at times when you see people doing the same thing again and again. Hehe.

just got my letter for oath ceremony on wed , june 26th at LAC ... at 12:33PM .

plis update me ...

thank you...

Are you sure it's 12:33PM? It's either 8AM or 1PM as far as I know.

Hello all. My journey is finally coming to an end Oath is tomorrow in Delaware. Received the letter last Friday online status never changed to this day. I heard that this had happened to some of you. I spent weeks after weeks waiting for a text or an email with an update and was worried that I wasn't going to be scheduled any time soon - either was a great surprise. I can't wait to say the pledge tomorrow! Whole process took a little over 5 months

Congrats.

Added TaraAhmed786..

TaraAhmed786, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but realistically speaking the shortest amount I have seen is atleast 3+/- months from start to end. With god in mind, anything is possible and I hope you get to that family wedding.

Best of luck.

Sorry for the confusion. I posted this in the K1 Forum, so I didn't think to specify!

It is my fault, I didn't see that this thread was started under K1 Forum and therefore you did not need to specify, I apologize.

Ah, title said "How many of you were 'required' to go to the interview?" .. you didn't specify the type of visa, so I thought it would be all visas.

Does it have to be a petitioner who has to accompany the beneficiary to the interview (which I understand is not a requirement but it adds some kind of credibility) or can it be beneficiary's own sibling who is a US citizen and who happens to be petitioner's son?

Petitioner is the father, beneficiary is the daughter (who is well over the age limit) but the petitioner is in the US while the daughter is outside of the US awaiting her interview, petitioner's son or beneficiary's brother (who is a US citizen) happens to be with her..

Hope this makes sense.
