    you should watch the video on USCIS's website about the interview, my interview is in 2 weeks and I am also a little nervous but the video actually made me feel better.

    Here is the link :  https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/learners/study-test/study-materials-civics-test/uscis-naturalization-interview-and-test-video

    Thanks, that helped me feel a little better ☺

    Good luck with your preparations!!

  2. For anyone looking for this info later on, if & when you decide to do the naturalisation process..i decided to keep my citizenship until i better understand the implications of losing my citizenship and we may decide to move back there at some point. 

     

    As long add you receive your letter/certificate stating that you have permission to retain your SA citizenship when applying for US citizenship (naturalisation), BEFORE YOU TAKE YOUR OATH, you are ok. 

     

    Also this is an old law (1947) and they have started checking whether ppl have taken up citizenship in other countries and if so, they are automatically terminating your citizenship and removing you from the population register - usually when you have to renew your passport.

     

  3. i completed my biometric appointment, really pleasant and took 20 min! Saw the update online that my status changed to in line for Interview on 03/09/17.

     

    Hope the wait for am interview date is as quick as the rest of the process had been so far!

    You're effectively delivering to a PO box, so USPS priority mail works well for that. Fedex and UPS don't deliver to PO boxes so they give you a different address to send to in the guidelines.

     

    I used USPS and was very happy with how it went: you can track the package all the way from dropoff to someone picking it up from the lockbox. Unless anyone else can recommend why Fedex or UPS would be a better bet, I'd say USPS priority is hard to beat.

    I agree, my package arrived in 2 days and usps was cheap compared to fedex or ups

    I am getting ready to file I400 for my wife she got her GG  05/14/2014 through Marriage from US Citizen . when can I send the package?. also should we expect any delays since our local office is Dallas  

    any guidance will greatly appreciated  

    Hi there, from what I've read and understood from the instructions, you can apply 90days before your 3 year Green card "anniversary"

     

    Others can confirm.

     

    Good luck!

     

     

     

     

  8. The Website changed from Card/ Document Production to decision....does anyone know what this means? I wonder if the card has been ordered as per the previous update that stated "card production"...

    Decision

    On March 6, 2014, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed

  9. We had our interview yesterday and were approved :) A week after I got the EAD/ AP Card.

    Good luck everyone!

    Your Current Case Status for Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

    Card/ Document Production

    On March 6, 2014, we mailed the new card directly to the address we have on file. You should receive your new card within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

  10. I know that every time I read that an noa 2 got approved I wished they would state first was it an expedite or not. This was not an expedite. I am still in shock I logged in 3 times earlier tonight and it was initial review. So right before i am going to go to sleep I decide to check once more. To my shock I logged in and I saw a post decision and I was having a flash back to the movie Flash dance. I then began to do a rather emabarrassing dance that displayed my utter lack of cooridination. Ok did I just say that. Ok I will deny saying I said that smile.png So then I call my fiance but she isnt' at her desk. So I ask the person who answered could you please find her it's very important. She was a bit annoyed that I was like insisting she find her but I couldn't help myself I had to tell her. So she answers the phone and I said it's me. I asked her to step outside and said you might want to sit down. I then said baby! baby! guess what! we got approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. She was in total shock and then she logged in to see for herself and then she was speechless. The crazy thing is we were literally talking yesterday about booking flights to see each other because it was so hard being apart.

    As many have done before I want to give back and hopefully this helps anyone currently putting together their packet. Our notebook included 178 pages. We used a plastic cover and placed the check in the very front. Inside page one was a table of contents. We perhaps went overboard but we placed every single page in plastic inserts. In the front we placed all the key required documents. For passport photos we placed them in a ziplock bag and then in the insert. For photos to establish the relationship I found plastic photo album inserts and used those to hold the photos. We front loaded our application with hotel receipts, tickets from events, all receipts, cell phone records, email records, birthday cards, airline tickets, not only my passport with stamps but her's as well and anything else we could find that helped.

    I want to thank everyone who came before us who busted their tails to contact their congressmen and senators. I want to thank all the people who spent countless hours making graphs and clicking through hundreds of wac numbers to get us statistics. It was your reports, your letters and your persistence that allowed our application to be processed so quickly. To those who have not yet been approved my thoughts and prayers go out to you. I know how hard this wait can be but I can't even fathom what it would be like to have waited as long as some of you have. Everyone of you deserves to be with the one you love and I hope in some small way maybe this put a smile on your face.
