Congratulations, KBF! Good Luck, Malydon! Welcome to our newbie!

Congratulations, KBF! Good Luck, Malydon! All the Best Tata

We received two letters yesterday first says that the interview will be rescheduled and the second day the interview is the 20th of October. This is a real bummer. We leave for El Paso TX for 9 weeks on Sunday. We are going today to see if they will still interview her. If not we are considering flying her back here of the interview or requesting a new location like Albuquerque NM which is close. Don't know how backed up Albuquerque is? We are really bumming!

Anyone?

I just got a new job. We have to move to EL Paso Texas on the 19Th. My wifes interview is here on the 15th so no problem with that.

After she passes the interview Can she request to take the Oath Ceremony in Albuquerque NM. It is only 3.5 hours from El Paso. San Antonio and Dallas are 7.5 hours and 9.5 hours away from El Paso.

Can anyone verify that they take Oaths every month in Albuquerque NM. I read that the procedure in Albuquerque NM was that you had to request the Oath in writing prior to taking it. So does that mean two trips to Albuquerque NM?

Where can you find this information?

Thanks

How many Naturalization Test Answers do you have to give? How many do you have to know for each question? Some of them seem to mean the same thing.

OK the easy questions are the ones with one answer. Who was the first president. George Washington I understand this type of question.

The Name " one" or "two " questions i also understand.Name two national holidays. Presidents day and labor day. I understand this type of question.

I told my wife she only needed to learn one answer to this type of question.

Why does the flag have 50 stars?

Because there are 50 states.

Because each star represents a state.

because there is one star for each state.

Do you have to be able to repeat each one? Can't you just learn"because there is one star for each state"Also look at " What did Susan B Anthony do? and What did the Emancipation Proclamation do?

Do you have to be able to repeat each of the answers instead of just one for each?

Thanks

Please update for me.

IL 8/13/09

Interview 9/15/09 Please change location to Manchester NH

Does anyone know when the Oath dates are in New Hampshire? Where can i find them?

Thanks

We don't have the Biometrics letter yet! I have checked our case on the USCIS web site and it still shows the NOA as being the last action. I noticed during the I-751 application that our on-line information was sometimes behind reality. For example getting a letter before it is even listed on the web site.

Has any one noticed that happening with the N-400 application?

I would like to take my wife on a 7 day cruise in the Caribbean for our wedding anniversary. We are planning on having her N-400 mailed out on July 1st which is our 3 year wedding anniversary and 79 days early. The entire thing is filled out and all the copies and documents are in the package waiting to be mailed.

I am not sure I understand whether this will have an effect on her application.

Since she arrived here in May 2006 we have traveled out of the country as follows:

12/12/2006-1/4/2007 = 22 days

7/1/07-7/2/07= 2 days

12/4/07-1/14/08 = 22 days

11/3/08-12/31/08 = 59 days

The total is 105 days.

Are there any rules about not being able to travel after your package is submitted? Is there anything else I should be thinking about or concerned about.

Thanks

Mike

06/25/08 I-751 NOA Received VSC

02/12/09 Transfered from VSC to CSC

Ton received her green card today

Now get to relax for the next 2 years (well 1 yr and 7 months).

I found the AOS to be the easiest part of the whole process. Took less than 2 months from the time I mailed the application until receiving the green card. But considering how long it took from approval of the I-129F until NVC received it, we deserved a fast processing time.

Good Luck to everyone else going through the process.

Congrats Dan and Ton

We are very happy for you

Mike and Jass

The Whole Story:

Pao went for her interview on the 24th as scheduled and delivered the documents to the window. Some time later they called her back and she got a 221-g for the divorce certificate and custody of her daughter.

I called the Embassy main number and kept getting the run around and finally I asked to speak to the operator supervisor, and I spoke to an Amercian lady and explained that the divorce decree was unobtainable because the court had lost the file. (it was a South African court, and a marrige back in 1999 during the government switch from apartheid and the records were a mess!). At any rate, the Department of Home Affairs did have a record that the divorce had been granted, but simply could not locate the decree. We were refered to a marriage officer that wrote a certified letter to this effect, and that her ex-husband had in fact already remarried to another woman in 2000 (the marriage to my fiance was very short lived).

At any rate, the Amercain operator transferred me to the actual consular official that conducted the interview, and I argued that USCIS had accepted the letter from South Africa Department of Home Affairs in lieu of a decree, and that sinc USCIS had accepted the certified letter in lieu of the decree, the case should not be being readjuticated.

Regarding the custody issue, as it turns out, she did not need a custody statment from Amphur since the child was born out-of-wedlock, (before she married the guy). 5 days of frantic phone calls, 2 trips to Amphur and 3 trips to the US Embassy, they finally decided to accept the documentation that was provided in the first place.

At one point, the Consular Official wanted a letter from Amphur stating that she was 'single' at the time the child was born, but I argued that that should be quite evident sicne they already had the birth certificate showing the child was born June of 1999 and the marriage did not take place until September of 1999.

To make matters worse, the Consular Official that I spoke to that interviewed Pao on the 24th, and left the office and was going to be in Camboida for 3 weeks, so on Monday (Thailand time), I had to explain everything all over again to the person who was handling the original Consulars cases. It was a real nightmare for 5 days.

Alls well that ends well I guess, they called her Monday at about 2pm and told her to bring her and her daughters passports back and she could get the visa's the next day, (today).

Bill

Congrats Pao and Bill

It wasn't easy but you got it done!

Jass and Mike

I am glad to see that most of you have gone through your AOS journey and have recieved your green cards.

Our AOS journey has not been so great. I called the customer service center requesting a status of our case? They had no new news to tell us. Today, we recieved an email from USCIS telling us the status of our case. Here is what they told us.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The status of this service request is:

The processing of your case has been delayed. A check of our records

establishes that your case is not yet ready for decision, as the required

investigation into your background remains open.

Until the background investigation is completed, we cannot move forward on your

case. These background checks are required to be completed on all applicants

who apply for the immigration benefit you are seeking. We will make every

effort to make a decision on this case as soon as the background checks are

complete. If you do not receive a decision or other notice of action from us

within 6 months of this letter, please contact us by calling our customer

service number provided below.

If you have any further questions, please call the National Customer Service

Center at 1-800-375-5283.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

This was very upsetting news for us to say the least. 6 more months of waiting.

Has anyone else had to wait this long and for what reason?

meandwi

This kind of thing really kills me. Does anyone really believe that they gave you the fiance visa without fully investigating you the first time. The AOS should just be a rubber stamp.

Best of luck ...it will all work out in the end

Mike

Looks like someone should be correcting your "mis-perceptions" Yodrak?!?!?

I wouldn't call it a correction. I am not totally convinced that it can't be done through a local police station if you know the right people to ask. This, after all, is Thailand.

I am quite thankful that Yodrak doesn't often have "mis-perceptions". He is easily one of, if not the most no-nonsense, informative posters in this entire forum who doesn't let his opinions cloud the issues. I am thankful he is on the Thailand visa team.

Ill second that... Yodrak Doesnt make mistakes... not even spelling mistakes!

Yea Yodrak is great when you can catch him sober!

Only kidding...Yodrak is without doubt the single best source of information we have here on the Sawasdee thread. If you had to pay for this kind of advice we probably couldn't afford it.

Thanks Yodrak for all the help that you have given me and many many others.

Mike

Dao received her Green Card in the mail yesterday, she is away on training for her job, so I opened it and took a good look. My excitement quickly turned to dismay when I realize they have her listed as MALE! Looks like we ware going to have to make an infopass to get her passport stamped and then send the card back with form I-90 requesting a correction.

Congrats Dao!

Mike and Jass

Hello All,

Just curious...I passed through the NVC last week and my case in on the way to BKK. I will be in Thailand in a couple weeks as well.

Anyways, while I'm in Thailand, if the Packet 3 hasn't arrived at AAm's house, would it be acceptable to just go ahead and get the med exam done without the forms. From what I have been reading, it sounds like if you have the NVC case#, you can just schedule/complete the med exam....the doctor will already have all the correct forms and will fill them out entirely.

Am I mistaken in my thinking?

Peace to all,

Mark - N - AAm

The doctor Pao went to already had the forms. I came to the conclusion that the medical exam was good for one year, and can also be used to adjust status once whe gets to the USA so we went ahead and had it done. I'm leaving for Thailand on the 15th and return on the 23rd.

Hey Bill, which hospital did your fiancee go to?

Pao went to the one that starts with a "B" - hehe - I forget the name off the top of my head, but it was the least expensive of the two and she said it was a very nice hospital.

Bill

Glad to hear that everything went well!

Mike

Quick question on Packet 3:

Yodrak and others have told me that in Bangkok we can download the medical forms and get the medical out of the way before the packet actually arrives in Bangkok. This is my question:

Where they ask for the "alien case number" that is the number that the new number that the NVC gave me, correct? there is also an A number on the NOA2 - just want to be sure that it is the new case number assigned by the NVC that goes on these forms.

Bill

Your A number identifies you...it doesn't change. The A number on your NOA2 is the A number that you put on your forms.

Mike

Hello All, I have been using this board as reference for the past several months. Thank you all as it has been very beneficial!

On 10/27 (last Friday) the NVC gave me confirmation/case # that they have received my approved NOA2. If things go normal, it should be on its way to the Bangkok Embassy during the first week of November.

Here is my question, and I would appreciate your kind advice: I am traveling to Thailand to see Aam from November 17th-30th. If the Packet 3 has not been yet mailed to her house, can I go directly to the Embassy and pick up the Packet 3 Forms there, fill them out, and submit them directly to the Embassy as well? That would be quite a time saver/stress saver if it were possible. Also, I know that it is possible to download all forms as well from the Embassy website. If I were to do that, could I then fill them out in advance and take them directly to the Embassy while I'm in BKK?

Another question, now that I have the NVC case #, can I have Aam schedule her medical appt? I have the approved medical doctor offices from the Embassy website. I thought I could download those forms and get this out of the way as well while I'm there.

Peace to All,

Mark - N - Aam

I waited a couple of weeks for our case to get to the Embassy and then we mailed the packet 3 forms that we had downloaded off the web site. I am pretty sure you can not bring anything to them. They use the mail. I agree that you should also get the physical done. Also ask them for a copy.

Mike,

Looks like you could benefit from reading the Guide to Naturalization found on the USCIS web site.

Yodrak

I thought you couldn't apply for US citizen until 5 years? I am confused.

Mike

Hey Mike:

http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/services/natz/English.pdf

You can find the info on page 17 of the link above......I also was confused until after I saw the guide...

regards,

George

Just what I needed thanks Yodrak and George.

Congratulations to all the "newbies" going through "BNK"

It seems like an eternity ago that we were there.

Anyhow, it looks like our journey is over for 2 years, and we are ready to move on with our new life and home here in Florida.

Good luck to everyone else in their journey!

Robert & Chutima
