    I went on vacation to St Petersburg as a tourist (no family or other connections) and green card holder. No one at USCIS cared.
    Beautiful city, BTW

    Just print out the selective service enrollment confirmation letter. The address will not matter. They have the social security to prove it is you.
    The majority of offices do not offer same day oath.

    One tip is to apply for both the passport book, and the passport CARD for your child.
    Someone here recently had her passport stolen years after becoming a citizen as your child is about to, and it was a hassle to go through the process again.
    If she had a passport card in her possession, it would have been super easy to get a replacement passport book.

    Please be sure to update this thread on Tuesday. So many times these interesting cases are posted, and then no one posts the outcome.
    Good luck.

    I hate to give you the bad news, but if you cannot provide final disposition of the ticket (a receipt showing paid in full or case dismissed), you will probably not be allowed to naturalize on Tuesday. This is exactly why I was so careful driving after my interview. Most dangerous period due to the short time to deal with a ticket.

    If applying under 3 year rule, you only need supply residences over the statutory period in question. i.e. The past 3 years.
    I will let others comment on your second question as I don't feel secure in the answer.

    kovacs got a reaction from Boiler in Washington Post Article on Failed Efforts to Modernize USCIS   
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/a-decade-into-a-project-to-digitize-us-immigration-forms-just-1-is-online/2015/11/08/f63360fc-830e-11e5-a7ca-6ab6ec20f839_story.html
    Heaving under mountains of paperwork, the government has spent more than $1 billion trying to replace its antiquated approach to managing immigration with a system of digitized records, online applications and a full suite of nearly 100 electronic forms.
    A decade in, all that officials have to show for the effort is a single form that’s now available for online applications and a single type of fee that immigrants pay electronically. The 94 other forms can be filed only with paper.
    This project, run by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, was originally supposed to cost a half­ billion dollars and be finished in 2013. Instead, it’s now projected to reach up to $3.1 billion and be done nearly four years from now, putting in jeopardy efforts to overhaul the nation’s immigration policies, handle immigrants already seeking citizenship and detect national security threats, according to documents and interviews with former and current federal officials.

    I think going in tomorrow would only cause you to miss a day at work. It is unfortunate, but I've seen many similar postings here. Not much that you can do about it.

    I blocked viewing his repetitive posts 3 weeks ago. Got sick of seeing the same old song and dance. Here is how you do it:
    Click on your username in the upper right hand corner.
    Click "My Settings".
    Click "Ignore Preferences" on the left hand side.
    Where it says, "Add a new user to my list" type in N400Applicant.
    He really needs to get a new hobby.

    kovacs got a reaction from Safety Chick in Which option should I choose? N-400, first question   
    Go for 5 year. While USCIS can ask you to provide whatever documents they want, they generally don't have you validate the integrity of your marriage, unless the suspect foul play. A 5 year application interview is generally a lot simpler. Mine took about 11 minutes, start to finish.

    Why don't you quote the form in your post? That would make replies more likely.

    Makes me laugh how everyone thinks there is some big conspiracy when it comes to their application.
    USCIS is a buracreacy, like any other. It is going to do, what it is going to do.

    kovacs got a reaction from LORIEandPHIL in Will this situation affect my US citizenship?   
    This is not correct. The US does not care how many passports you hold. Once you hold American citizenship, they simply refuse to acknowledge any legal claim another territory may have over you. So Dual, or Quad, makes no difference.
