Nick..

DOS meaning when you applied for the passport ? or to change the SSN Status ?

I hate to send the certificate out.. what if it gets lost ?

I just have a difficult time sitting still for that long.. haha

I will enjoy the ceremony I am sure... and at least I get to see Fenway Park for the first time. The weather is going to be nice and sunny

Planning on going to the postoffice after to apply for my passport etc and sending in a copy of my certificate to the German Consulate. So I be officially dual as of tomorrow. WOW its hard to believe.

How is your journey going.. I cant read your timeline.. or did you forget to update it

I will keep you guys posted on my day tomorrow.

Hi Everyone:

Just wanted to stop in and say hello. Have not talked to you guys in a while.

Has anyone takin their oath ? Mine is coming up this coming Wednesday at 10 am. I hear its going to be long.. and friends that had it here in Boston told me to plan in 5 hours. 5 hours in Fenway Park ? Its going to be boring.

They said it takes so long because its alot of people and it takes 4Ever to have them seated.

Well I will keep you posted after Wednesday.

Anja

Hi Tammi:

Congrats congrats congrats .. thats awesome that your long journey on becoming a citizen is now over

I guess I am next in 4 weeks

Hope everyone is having a great day

Anja

Well good Luck today.. maybe you are already there right now

Well my outfit is all picked out. Blue dress with flags allover on it, white belt, blue shoes and a big red bow in my hair.. matching purse ofcourse.. how does that sound

Yea proper attire.. No jeans, flip flops or T Shirts. What would actually happen if I wear jeans..?

So what am I suppose to wear.. should I get my evening gown out ?

Yea ... in the hot T ( thats what they call the train in Boston) trucking away to Fenway Park...

I still dont get it why they have it there.. never been there im my life. . haha

Ohh hmm Tammi.. take the camera and take some pictures

Good Luck tomorrow

Anja

Tammi:

I think thats all you need to bring.

Just make sure you answer the questions on the back of the red letter.

And bring your camara

Finally the big day is here .. thats amazing

Mine is coming up too.. 1 more month.

Well when you apply for your Citizenship remember to apply to be dual.. that way you dont loose the German one.

To me that was very important

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to say hello. Where are all the March Filers.. ? Are you done with the Oath etc ?

Mine is coming up on September 14th.

Tammi yours is tomorrow right ?

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer

Anja

Just curious is your finance german ?

If so, I hope he is applying for his Beibehaltungs Urkunde.. or he is going to loose his german citizenship.

If you need info on it let me know.. I been thru it all.

Anja

I printed out the flashcards, cut them out and used some glue to stick them on flashcards. That way they are a little thicker. You can also order the flashcards but I think they cost.

I also used the book that you get when you go for your fingerprinting.. but I personally used the flashcards more then the book.. stuck them in my purse and read them whenever I had a chance.

Good Luck

Anja

Congrats

Richie,

I am surprised you are still waiting for yours.. that is kinda a long wait.

Did you try to make an appointment and check up on it ?

Tammi.

Oh never mind I thought yours is on the 19th.. was reading wrong..

When is your Oath Ceremony ?

Hey Tammi,

Now how come you got the letter first and I got it way after but I have my ceremony before you.. lol.

Have a great day

Anja

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that I received my Oath Ceremony Letter yesterday.

I was kinda worried that it would get lost since I have mail delivery issues at my house..so I was very surprised that it was there and that fast.

Well, its scheduled for September 17th at 10 am at Fenway Park.. Yes, Fenway Park.. I am wondering how many people they are going to have there. ..since its at the Park. Since I never been there I think its going to be interesting.

I also rceived notice yesterday from the german consulate the paper is here for the dual part and ready for pickup.

Well my original one actually expires on September 9th so I had to ask for them to send me another one...and ofcourse they asked.. why what.. how come it took you 2 years to do this .. lol...thats the beauty of german laws.

It actually took me 3 times to get this approved.. they told me that my reasons were not strong enough to be dual.

But it was finally approved on the 3 try

Anyway I talked enough... hope everyone is having a nice day... and I pray that everyone is soon to be done with thei N 400 journey.

Anja

Congrats Tammi.. that was fast

Hopefully mine is on the way too..

Anja

They said its in September.. I just like to know a date since my other paper from the german consulate is running out by September 9th. Which means if I take the oath after I would loose my German Citizenship.

Well I been in touch with the consulate.. they "said" a new document is on the way.. from Berlin..

German laws and rules are so complicated... I just want this over with.. LOL

Hello Everyone..

I was wondering if anyone knows how soon I can expect to get my letter for the date of the Oath Ceremony ?

Did anyone get theirs yet ?

Thanks

Anja

I had my fingerprinting done in Boston... I dont remember what time I went but there were not really alot of people in there and it went rather quick.. less then an hour I would say - but that was my personal experience.

Now when I went for the interview that was a different story - JFK Bldg was packed and I was there at least 3 hours.

Congrats Tammi, this is great news Was it easy or what ?

Not sure when my oath is - I think they said September.. Gotta wait for the letter.. hopefully we get it soon.

take care

Anja

Hi Tammi,

Wish you lots and lots of luck.. and I am sure he will do just fine.

Let us know this afternoon how it went...

Anja

Hey Tammi,

Thanks I am happy my journey is almost done.

Your husband will be just fine on Monday... I would say no worries at all.

Anja

Hello Everyone..

So yesterday was my interview.. and I passed... it was such a piece of cake.

I studied for months for this.. infact I over did it.

I had to write: Today I came to Boston and I had to read: Today I went to school.

I forgot some of the questions they asked me..

What do we celebrate on July 4th ?

What is the national anthem ?

Something about the senators... ?

and the last 3 I forgot - but they were easy.

My Interview went well too.. They were training someone while they were interviewing me.

I do still owe some Taxes.. but as long as you have a payment plan and prove that you been paying that is not an issue.

Some small issue with my name... since I have an ü in my last name and they used u on my Allien Card but thats going to be fixed

I believe my Oath is in September.. I was hoping for earlier since I am dealing with a Dual Citizenship here... and I need to fax papers to the German Government by September 9th.. but I dont think it will be before then.

Thats just a small issue and I just need to contact the German Consulate for that and they can just issue me another certificate.

Overall I was very pleased with the process at the INS yesterday - I expected a bunch of crumpy people in INS uniform there.. lol... but they all were very nice and friendly and made me feel totally relaxed

Well I need to get to work now - I will keep everyone posted on my journey.
