Question: My letter with the interview notice went to my friend's address and they might have lost that letter. Now I can always print that letter out from my online profile. Do you guys think if a printout would suffice, or should I have to present the original letter at the entrance and to the officer for the interview? I appreciate your help!

I think the printed letter should be ok . 

They use the old test .

I file n400 for my daughter august ,27/2021 base on 5 year rule

I'm confused. The Javits Center is in Manhattan and as far as I know all the interviews are conducted at Federal Plaza, including for Brooklyn applications. You're saying she was interviewed for N-400 at Javits Center?

It’s  federal plaza sorry

My interview was scheduled recently after about 23 months or wait. (Filed may 2020)

 

Anyone knows if Brooklyn office has oaths on same day after interview or it can take x days or weeks of wait?

 

Also how bad is the passport process after oath in Brooklyn? 

 

My daughter had interview in Brooklyn javits center on January 24th and got scheduled for oath ceremony same day for the Friday Jan 28 th . For passport when I did mine I paid extra for expedited service. 

Meet first then marry . My husband and I marry on our first visit I got gc and I’m a citizen now … I think big risk to marry someone you have never met or touched in person. All the best 

You’re welcome 

I think the n400 interview is only about you and not your spouse, I never bring my husband I went by myself.he waited outside. 

Do Cuban immigration stamps usa passport or do they just stamp the tourist card? 

I want to visit Cuba but don’t want a Cuban stamp in my passport.

I agree 👍🏾. It’s very useful.

I did the same thing followed instructions from here I mailed my passport card and a letter and copy of passport and citizenship certificate and my nys Id and I received my documents back then I received a new ssn card in the mail .. thank you all I love visajourney.com .

Finally.....wasn't as easy for me as the thread title suggests. My timeline is in my signature...

 

First attempt using letter, application and passport card dropped off at the local SSA. About a week or so later, my passport card was returned but no social security card letter.

Note: If you have a social security online account, there is a little trick to see if they have changed your status. At the top half of the screen, there is an option to get a replacement card and when you click on that, if you are NOT a citizen, you are unable to order a replacement card online. This is how I realized, that they had not taken action on my case.

 

So I call them and ask for an appointment. "Sure, if you are willing to wait at least 45 days for us to call you back with an appointment time or you can just send us an application"

 

I discuss my previous application and ask why nothing was done. "You can send in a new application with your passport book or your naturalization certificate"

 

Go drop off a new application, letter and passport book. About a week later, I get notification from my UPS account that the SSA is sending me a package (my passport). So I go online and try my "replacement card" trick. This time, the message states that I cannot do anything until after October 5th because their system is being updated. I decide to check my wife's SS account where it allows me to go through the entire step for replacing a "lost" SS card. 

 

Today, USPS informed delivery shows a delivery from the Social Security office with my new card.

 

Now, the journey is finally over.

So I had mail in my passport card to ssn to update my ssn and today they return my documents and a letter saying” they  received my application and it’s currently under review for processing “ what does that mean? Do you think at this point they can just tell me to send the passport book or naturalization certificate? 

I have mail in my passport card with a copy of naturalization cert and copy of passport with my nys id and no reply yet from Brooklyn ssn office. Where did you apply?

Got my Certificate of Naturalization from UPS. No damage at all.

Received a new SSN card as well.

 

BTW, you can always find local SSA's number on google map... each SSA processes things slightly differently, for me I was told to just drop the docs by their office and I did, and it worked. Overall very smooth and clear procedure.

Did you get a receipt to prove you did drop off the documents?

The whole process took a week, I first applied for my passport and passport card, I then filled out the SSN application and mailed it off with a letter stating that I am updating my citizenship status and included my passport card as evidence of citizenship. So if anyone is worried about SSA loosing their naturalization certificate, you don't have to mail that, just mail your passport card if you applied for one.

Omg . Thanksgiving you for sharing this 

Wow this is great information. Thank you very much ..I appreciate your response

Yes, I did that last year and sent them my passport. Just make sure you use FedEx, UPS etc. where you have the option of requiring a signature upon receipt. I remember I was provided by the nearest SS office with the specific address to use when using a private carrier (vs. a PO Box). They returned my passport through FedEx after a week.

 

Good luck!

Thank you. So the passport card would be ok ? Or I have to send the actual passport book?

Thanks for your response. I’m going to mail in the passport card with the form . I feel more comfortable doing that .

Thank You 

I got citizenship in December 2020 but ssn office has been close due to covid .I call and was told to mail in the naturalization certificate with the form to update my ssn . But I only have one copy . Is it safe to mail it it I meant what if it gets lost ? Secondly how long do I have to update my ssn ? Is there a penalty for not updating it ? Thx

A waiver for what? How old is your daughter? When did she become a LPR?

A fee waiver , she’s 19 years old . She became a LPR over 5 years ago .

I file n400 for my daughter I got a notice that the application was received. My question is does this means the waiver was approved? Thank
