  1. ALL FINISHED! Oath ceremony was today and we are DONE!  The ceremony was not a ceremony at all, I guess due to COVID restrictions, so it was a bit of an anti-climax. I couldn't even go in to watch, and had to wait in the parking lot, and they didn't attempt to make the event one bit special...not even a tiny flag. But aside from that...it's DONE, and that's the most wonderful, awesome, greatest thing. Hang in there, everyone! 

  2. Oath ceremony scheduled, finally! WOOHOO! Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend (no guests allowed, just the applicant), but I will definitely be in the parking lot with a big flag and my camera! So excited that things are beginning to move again for everyone. Hang in there, everybody...it will happen! 

  3. My husband was following his "approved" N-400 naturalization 'countdown' on the USCIS app...the days went down, down, down...and the last update was 2 days, a week ago; then the days disappeared and there's no day countdown, nothing.  Do you think this means an invitation to a naturalization ceremony is imminent? Or...have things been suspended and we should call? We're both confused and excited about the possibility that this could be finished soon! :)

  4. Say you have your naturalization ceremony on March 1. They take your green card at the ceremony and give you a Certificate of Naturalization. You're planning on going on a trip out of the country 2 weeks later. Do you expedite a U.S. passport in order to re-enter the USA when you return? Or do you take a copy of the Naturalization Certificate (or heaven forbid, the actual certificate!?) with you on a 3-week jungle trip? We don't know what to do...any advice?

      A naturalization certificate is not suitable evidence for boarding a plane. It would only be useful if you can get to a US border, or to obtain a US passport while abroad.

      You need to get the passport.

      We have the Dutch passport, and will of course take that on the trip; the question is for re-entry, when the trip was originally booked using the Dutch passport information. Can we re-enter the US using a brand spanking new expedited US passport? And does it matter that the trip was booked with a different passport? (This trip has been booked for 6 months.)

      A newly issued US passport is not an issue for re-entry. Just use that.

  5. Just got the appointment letter for my husband's interview for citizenship! December 17th! Woo hoo!

  6. Does anyone know what vaccinations (or where to find them) are required for entrance into the U.S. on an immigrant visa? Is there a list somewhere?

      I mean a list of 'for what,' like tetanus, HEP A, etc.  Is there a list of what's required somewhere?
