    Eugr got a reaction from SweetieUs in N-400 May 2016 filers   
    Just came back from the Naturalization Ceremony! After 12 years in the US, I'm finally a citizen!
    The ceremony was held at Campbell Heritage Theater, there were 252 people from 45 different countries.
    They started letting people in at the time specified in the oath letter and it took about 1.5 hours.
    They also had representatives from the Passport Agency and Voter Registration table.
    I wish you all good luck - hopefully you'll all get your certificate soon.

    Eugr got a reaction from believe in Advice: update your Social Security after getting a passport   
    Just want to share my experience with SSA with newly minted citizens.
    USCIS says to visit SSA 10 days after getting a naturalization certificate, however based on the posts on this forums, the experience varies greatly, and SSA has to verify authenticity of the certificate with USCIS. Sometimes it works, sometimes it causes delays.
     
    I've decided to apply for a passport first, and deal with SSA later, and I think it was a good decision. So I got my passport a week after applying (I did expedited processing), but I haven't had a chance to visit Social Security until after a month. Brought my passport and filled application for a replacement card, and everything went smoothly, they updated my record right away, and I received my new SSN card a week after visiting the office.
     
    So, my advice - get the passport first, go to SSA later.

    Eugr got a reaction from KASH2011 in 2016 - US Passport & Card Application Tracker   
    Received both passport card and my naturalization certificate today in separate envelopes.
    Except from a creased corner and a few pencil pressure marks the certificate is undamaged, even the staple marks are barely visible in the corner.

    Updating the information in the table below. Now just need to update my SSA record.

    Eugr reacted to ptm897 in Dual Citizenship   
    To the Original Poster.. If you naturalize in the U.S. you do not jeopardize your Canadian citizenship. Canada allows dual citizenship so the act of you naturalizing in the U.S. does not jeopardize that at all. If you happen to come from a country that does not allow dual citizenship like, Japan, Philippines, then when you take the oath of allegiance and complete the naturalization process you have lost the citizenship of your former country because they will no longer consider you a citizen upon naturalization in the U.S. For a green card holder here in the U.S. from countries like Japan and the Philippines if they go to their consulate here to renew their passport the consulate will ask to see their green card and when they cannot produce that green card because USCIS took it during the naturalization process, that is how those countries that don't allow dual citizenship keep their checks and balances and are able to find out that their citizens have naturalized in another country. So when a Filipino citizens naturalizes in the U.S. the consulate will find out when they go to renew their passport and they cannot produce their green card to show the consulate because they have naturalized and have a naturalization certificate. Then the Filipino consulate will refuse to issue their passport and notify them that they are no longer a citizen of the Philippines.
    So, because Canada doesn't care if you naturalize you will not have renounced your Canadian citizenship unless you sign renunciation papers at your local Canadian consulate and tell them you don't want to be a citizen anymore and turn in your passport to them. There is an actual renunciation process that you have to go through with your own country in order to renounce if you come from a country that does not care one way or the other if you naturalize.
    So if you naturalize in the U.S you would always maintain two passports and when you go abroad outside of the U.S. to visit someplace you enter those countries on whatever passport is more advantageous to you, but when you come back into the U.S. you will always and forever present your U.S. Passport for inspection at any border or port of entry. You would never again show your Canadian passport to a U.S. Immigration official at any border or port when you are coming back in once you have naturalized.
    Technically the U.S. doesn't allow dual citizenship for their citizens under most circumstances and there is always a fine line between that. The U.S. recognizes that many people naturalize here and are allowed to retain their citizenship from their other country if that country allows them to. When you naturalize in the U.S. our office has no legal right to confiscate your Canadian passport from you as that is property of the Canadian government, the only time Immigration is allowed to confiscate a passport from someone is if they are in the process of deporting a criminal and they are securing their travel document to effect the removal.
    Many people born in the U.S. are born dual citizens and they have 2nd citizenship through direct blood/lineage from one of their parents that was still a citizen of another country at the time of their birth here in the U.S. so some people here are born citizens and then also hold another citizenship and that is allowable. Then there are many people that naturalize in the U.S. and they come from countries that allow dual citizenship so even though they take our oath of allegiance and they are telling us in that oath that they "Absolutely end entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty to whom or which they have heretofore been a subject or citizen"...etc.... you are not really renouncing that citizenship unless you would go to your countries consulate and sign renunciation papers to that country and turn in your passport to them, you have not really renounced.
    I hope this information is helpful, I am an Immigration Officer with USCIS for the past 20 years now, I spent 10 years interviewing in our Citizenship branch and the derivative U.S. citizenship is my specialty and my geek thing for the past 14 years.. I love my job and I actually just discovered this message board today through something on FB. I know that many of my fellow co-workers will refuse to admit to the people that they interview that you are able to retain your citizenship from the country you are from if that country allows you to have dual citizenship, and Canada and the U.K, and many other countries allow dual citizenship. Many USCIS officers can be really militant about that and will refuse to tell you during the interview process that you are allowed to retain your citizenship from your country if they allow you to, many have the mindset that once you naturalize here they don't want you thinking that you can still retain your previous citizenship. I've heard the way some of them talk to applicants in their office and that always got me angry because they are not telling them the truth.
    We have books at work that have a list of many of the countries and it tells us if that country allows dual citizenship or not, and it's very easy to find out, just call your countries consulate here in the U.S. and ask them.
