Got notice that I'm in-line for oath ceremony scheduling as of 7/5. Hoping they schedule and mail it out soon!

So I passed my interview!

My appointment time was 7:55am. I was a bit early but there was already a long line at the NYC office. i was sent into an overflow room with fewer people, and about 30min after that I was called.

My IO was nice enough, at first she was all business. I did the oath to tell the truth, then we sat down and I handed over my various forms of ID. She asked me the following questions:

1. What group of people was taken to America and sold as slaves?

2. Who makes federal laws?

3. Who is the vice president of the united states?

4. What is the highest court in the united states?

5. How many amendments does the constitution have?

6. Why did the colonists fight the British?

I got all 6, so she moved on. I had to read something about "Who appoints the representatives" and had to write "The people appoint our representatives" or something like that. English is my first language so that took zero time.

She then went through my application, it was all very straightforward. Her English was terrible and I had huge issues understanding what she was saying most of the time, but luckily I saw my application in front of her and was able to see when I'd checked no/yes and answer accordingly. Also, the interview in the office across from me was NOT going well, the IO was yelling at the guy and pacing and saying he was wasting her time, asking the same thing over and over. My IO told the other one to call the supervisor and stop the interview, but she decided to close her office door instead and continue to berate the poor dude.

After everything wrapped up I signed everything I needed to sign, she told me very long stories about her daughter-in-law (since my middle name was her first name, I think), and then I was given the paper that said I was recommended for approval and sent on my way! She didn't even ask me for any of the supporting documentation I brought!

Looking forward to the oath ceremony and being done with USCIS!

Good luck Aninyc, Lana7, and Dubsi!! Would love to hear about your experiences.

Got my interview letter! My appointment time is before 8am. . It's starting to feel real now!

USCIS Dallas/Lewisville, Texas Lockbox

Time to start studying! They've scheduled my interview and are sending the letter. Already getting nervous!!

=================================

USCIS Dallas/Lewisville, Texas Lockbox

UPDATE!

Got a call from CBP, the Chief assured me I was in the right, my understanding of the law was accurate, and in the future to simply ask to speak to a supervisor (I didn't know that was an option!) He also assured me I will not have issues in future travel.

So guys, let it be known: Your foreign passport and permanent resident card surnames don't need to necessarily match! I'm just going to bring my marriage certificate along next time in case.

Another day with no movement on my interview being scheduled. The wait is killer! Come on, New York!

Toronto! They are awful. My aunt works for Air Canada and the CBP officers ban airline workers from the area if they ever "cause trouble" with them.

It's not two legal names. Canadians can go by their married name and never change their name in any other capacity. I've personally known many women who've done just that- going by a married name for everything for decades but their passport is still in their maiden name. You're never under a legal obligation to change your name in Canada. Either way, this CBP agent is American since it was a US pre-clearance location. He has no jurisdiction over Canadian law.

I'll be bringing my marriage certificate on my next trip in case - to enter the US I only need my greencard, they shouldn't care what my airline ticket is under as no others have in the past.

About that; was this in Montreal? Cause some CBPs officers are a**holes here! Just like the one you ran into. Your situation is all too familiar to me.

But besides that and from a legal practitioner's perspective, he's right. You can't have 2 legal names unless you combined maiden and newly assumed name. If you call Canada Passport, they will tell you the same thing. You'll have to apply for a new passport with your newly assumed name. Don't worry about your birth certificate.

I usually just go for a weekend, but it's certainly something to keep in mind when my stays are longer.

I changed my name and then waited until my next visit to Canada to change my passport while I was visiting (for fear of the same problem- sick relatives). You can pay an extra fee and have it completed within 3 days. It sounds like you travel enough that is a possibility?

Thank you!! So you don't think I'm flagged for future travel? I'm sure it can be mitigated by my bringing my marriage certificate on the next trip. I will ask the airline desk agents about verifying my name in the future! I usually check in online and have never experienced them doing that.

Thank you for the link, it's really helpful!

Ding, ding, ding ---> 6. Is he basically just full of it?

My wife is in the same situation with her GC/passport and she has never had an issue when we travel.

I know, that when we travel, the airline enters her GC (married) name into the passenger manifest for the flight after validating her ticket in her passport name. He was probably just bent out of shape because the airline did not put the name you were going to use to enter the U.S. into the system and he had to use his brain.

Here's a link I had found the other day:

https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/1191/kw/entering%20U.S.%20LPR/suggested/1

What documents, identification, and paperwork does a legal permanent resident (LPR) or Green Card holder need to travel internationally?

Lawful Permanent Residents of the U.S. must present a Permanent Resident Card ("Green Card", INS Form I-551), a Reentry Permit (if gone for more than 1 year), or a Returning Resident Visa (if gone for 2 years or more) to reenter the United States. U.S. LPRs do not need a passport to enter the United States as per (8 CFR 211.1(a)),however, they may need a passport to enter another country. Please contact the embassy of the foreign country you will be traveling to for their requirements.

While CBP does not require the passport as noted above, the airlines may have their own requirements, please check with your airlines prior to travel. Also, travel documents for LPRs do not need to be valid for any certain amount of time. Your LPR card only needs to be valid on the day that you are entering the US.

Hi all,

I've been a US Permanent resident since 2013, I recently had my conditions lifted, my N400 is in process and I'm in line for an interview. I have a new shiny 10yr greencard in my married name. My Canadian passport is in my maiden name. The first couple of times I travelled I brought my marriage certificate, until officers told me they didn't need it. I have been hesitant to change my Canadian passport name remotely because I am uncomfortable sending all of my original identification documents (birth certificate, current passport etc) through the mail and wanted to wait until I had a long time of no travel in order to do it. Fortunately for me but not for this, I travel back home too often to wait it out and now have an imminent death in my family.

Since 2013 I've visited Canada 13 times and have had zero real problems in with customs in the airport, except recently.

I recently had an experience with a CBP officer when returning home to the US after 4 days in Canada. He was very rude and angry from the jumpoff and didn't even say hello. I know they can be this way, especially in the pre-clearance section at the airport I was traveling through. Even so, I always maintain a friendly demeanor and readily handed him my documents.

He scans my green card, then looks at both of my documents, and asks me why the names don't match. I explain that my passport is in my maiden name but green card in my married name. He tells me I "can't do that". I am confused, because I have travelled by air between the US and Canada this way 13 times in the last 3 years and have never once had a problem. I tell him this.
He then begins to YELL at me: "YOU CAN'T DO THAT, WHAT DO YOU ENTER THE UNITED STATES WITH?"
"My passport and green card"
"NO, YOU ENTER WITH THIS *holds up my green card* AND THIS DOESN'T MATCH YOUR PASSPORT, SO WHEN I SCAN YOU NOTHING COMES UP"
I apologize again and specify, again, that this is the first I'm hearing of this because I've never had a problem for 3 years.
The agent tells me I'm "going to have a problem NOW". He adds a note saying I have to change my passport name (what?)

He is angry because I didn't book my travel with my married name. I try and tell him that's impossible for me to do because my ticket must match my passport. He doesn't like that answer. He then questions me over and over why my names don't match. He tells me I HAVE to change my passport name because it's "not [my] name anymore". He is then angry cause i'm "going back and forth" with him, when really I'm trying to answer his questions politely. I literally had no idea what he wanted out of this exchange. It's not like I could march over to the passport office in that moment? Besides, the only other time I ever had an overly surly CBP officer, he told me no matter what that my greencard possession trumps any issue he could possibly have with me and cannot refuse me entry.

I finally concede and tell him I'll change it when I get home to the US. He looks at me for a minute, asks me if I'm carrying food. I say no. He sends me to secondary inspection and codes it under food. The secondary agent looks at my customs card, asks me what food I'm carrying. I say none.The secondary agent searches my bag, sees I'm telling the truth, looks confused and then asks me what the first agent told me.

"He told me I have to change the name on my passport".

The other agent smiled apologetically and sent me on my way.

I have submitted a complaint with CBP, but furthermore I have a few issues with this:

1. Under Canadian law I am not legally required to change my name EVER.

2. This US border agent is trying to tell me to legally change my name in Canada- what?

3. My greencard is the trump card. Usually border agents don't care about my ticket name, they care about my identification. This has never been an issue and I travel back and forth roughly every 3 months.

4. USCIS knows my maiden name, it's always under "other names" in literally every document I've ever filled out for them.

5. In hindsight I probably didn't pop up in the system on this trip because my green card was new. So now this guy has apparently noted I need to legally change my name in another country, instead of just noting my maiden name.

6. Is he basically just full of it?

I have another trip coming up again in June with my husband, and I plan on bringing my marriage certificate along. How can I resolve this issue/possible flagging? Should I also bring my expired permanent resident card if they really wanted to check up on it?

I want to ask for your feedback and if you guys know the specific references to laws on this subject, cause I'd like to have those too in case.

To reiterate, I can't really start changing my Canadian name from the US right now and surrendering my current passport, because there is an imminent death in my family. I need to able to get home on short notice.

Thank you guys!

Updating my status, I checked the website today and I see I'm in line for an interview now. Still haven't received the letter though! Wondering why mine seemed kind of delayed compared to the other NY offices though?

I added Aurpol in the meantime, minus the field office and GC date as not provided.

Hi everyone!

Got the UPS tracking info showing they received and signed for my packet today, very exciting! If I sent a money order, how will I know when it's been cashed?

Also, I live in Brooklyn which is serviced by both the NYC and Queens field offices. I had my I-485 interview in Manhattan so I've entered the NYC location as my office. If it changes I'll update this.

An Update:

Called USCIS today and the VSC is currently working on March 2, 2015 petitions. So we are all about a month+ out still. Hopefully moving closer sooner than later!

Use the one on your biometrics notice when its mailed out to you.

I did, that's why I specified it was my receipt letter, which gives me the biometrics info. My case # is still not recognized in the system.

Hi Guys,

Apologies if this was addressed elsewhere, but I can't look up my Receipt number on the USCIS website, it says it's not recognized even though I'm entering the correct number listed on my I-797C Notice Of Action. Is this a system-wide issue?

Question:

I travelled without incident with my expired greencard PLUS my NOA1 letter giving me my 1 year extension. I asked the customs agent if I had to bring this letter with me every time I travelled until I got a new card sent to me and he said yes. I didn't want to press the issue because he was a really smug power-tripper unlike anyone I've ever come across at the customs desk, but I thought there was a certain passport stamp they could use so I wouldn't have to carry this letter around when I travelled?

Thanks!

The government knows they are split as the poster already said. So not fraud.

Calm your horse, you filed jointly but your marriage is not bonafide at the time you file, and "supportive stuff". That is called fraud. Fraud doesn't only mean fraud marriages but it also means you file jointly but you are not bonafide.

You're wrong. There is a divorce waiver in I-751 proceedings. The Government knows they're not together so it is not fraud.
