HAHAHA! i have to laugh about this bc my girlfriend from ukraine was here and she was dating a guy who said he was a USC and from iran.. on the first date she made sure to see his US passport! she said, "I can not go on a date with you unless you show me your passport" anyways, they have been married 5 years and with a kid! haha so yes, make sure you see the passport!! LOL!

I cant believe she did that!!!

I also have a question. I have 2 green cards. one  with a 2 years validation ( expired ) and another with a 10 years still good.

 im attending my oath ceremony thursday july 27 in Boston. should I bring both green cards or just the one still valid?

thank you

I'm hoping and would really appreciate if someone can guide me as to what I need to do next.  My citizenship interview was in June of 2017 where I admitted on my n400 application that I claimed to be a us citizen on a utah drivers license application in 1996.  But I did not admit this on my green card application.  I am now required to submit a copy of the drivers license and ut dmv records which are due July 19. There are no records found of the drivers license application but there are records of my having a utah drivers license.  after doing research, I know my application could be denied and I could be deported.  I'm thinking of not submitting the evidence.  I know my application will be denied if I don't submit the documents which will be fine with me but only if I am safe from being deported.  Or should I submit the documents? what are my chances?  I'm mainly concerned about being deported.  If I don't send the documents, they can still deport me, right?   what is the best thing for me to do?  Your help is greatly appreciated.

I would submit everything they asked for it.... 

I dont think they will deport you for that... be patient and do everything they ask.

Well, I haven't done anything yet to receive your congrats, but I like the good thoughts towards my case!  

 

Seriously, considering USCIS is known for losing documents, stalling on things, mixing up applicant information, giving misinformation and contradictory information...there's no way I'm handing over my confidence to them to handle my passport application or handing back over my naturalization certificate.  I will happily cut all ties with them immediately after my oath.

Your case will be smooth, soon you will become usc, and everything will be fine. Thanks for taking your time to respond me.

my first country after becoming usc will be CANADA.

Guys another guestion,

what should I do with all the paper work from uscis. like interview green card notice and all the paper we all know.

 after becoming citizen, do i have to still file them?

AWESONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE  MY AMERICAN BROTHER.....

HAVE FUN AND ENJOY IT.

First of all,,,congrats on passing your interview!!

 

Some oath ceremonies have a table set up for people to apply for passports right after the ceremony, I've heard.  Some places also have a SS table for people to change their status too, I've heard.

I'd bring photos just incase they do.  If they don't offer that service, you can still use the passport photos elsewhere to apply so it's not a waste of money.

 

Personally, I plan on NOT going through USCIS to submit my passport application---only because I'd rather do it at a USPS passport agency after because, well frankly, I'd like to cut my ties with USCIS altogether after dealing with them for so long, and seeing them mess up so many times with other things.  Plus, I want to photocopy my naturalization certificate first before just sending the original document away mere minutes after I've worked so hard and long to receive it.

Thank you!

yes you are right about that..Ill do it later then....Im tired of the uscis dealing my stuffs...ALMOST DONE...CONGRATS YOU TOO

Yes, you can apply as soon as you have the certificate.   You may want to do this separately though so you have time to make a photocopy of the certificate for yourself, as you will be sending in the original with the passport application.  I am doing this.  Besides, most oath ceremonies don't have someone there doing all the processing and mailing for you.

 

It is advisable to do this immediately, as the Social Security Administration advises at least a 10 day wait before notifying them of your new status and most state DMVs (who verify through the SSA) advise at least 24 hours after notifying the SSA before notifying them.  So you might as well do the passport first.

 

You can also register to vote right away, but I'll probably do this when I finally do go to the DMV later.  I want the Oath Ceremony day to be fun and stress free.

when are you schedule to attend your ceremony bugs?

No bro!! Simple assualt.. 😔 Went to party on New Year's Eve.. some drunk guy pushed my wife and I pushed him back really hard.. that's alll.. since it was New Years cops were really alert and arrested both of us.. my wife got hurt too.. so dv because my wife got a scratch.. but that was later taken care of and I didn't got DV conviction 

DONT WORRY MAN, you will be fine.... make sure you dont have anything else. and bring proof with you.

like a discharge case stamped by the court house. Im sure you will be fine. Just tell the Io the truth and you will be fine.

My case i had 3  all in High school. I was  bully a lot and coming from brasil, i used to handle things different than   here in America.

I explain all the cases to my IO i said i was young and stupid and that was it. He said: I only cares  about your last 5 years as a LPR.

DUI?

Hey!! I have simple assault on my record.. it's not crime of moral truptitude.. max sentence in jail is one month.. all I paid $65 fine.. and six months probation.. 

Thank you 😊😊 I hope things workout for both of us.. 

Bother I had 3 assault and battery and few driving without license. a lawyer has no power over a IO YES, but having a lawyer with you is better since you have a criminal record. I paid a lawyer thru my whole process and its worthy though. it show that you are serious about your case.

well I as stupid and young and I regret the things I did. 

HAVE A LAWYER.

GOOD LUCK!

Hi Rodrigo,

 

There are no green cards being obtained from this marriage. I already have my 10 year GC and my partner is a USC and has lived here his whole life. There should be no questions of fake marriage. 

 

Good.

uscis now a days are very picky....

I suggest to get married Before or after you submit you n400. that way you avoid delays in your process....

Good luck!

I just got my oath letter, Form N-445 , unfortunately I will be traveling out of the country and need to reschedule my oath ceremony.

It does say on the bottom 'If you cannot come to this ceremony, return this notice immediately and state why you cannot appear. In such case, you will be sent another notice of ceremony at a later date. You must appear at an oath ceremony to complete the naturalization process'

Problem is it's not clear to me where to return the notice with the explanation. Do I return it to the address on the envelope (which is a Missouri processing center), or the location of my oath ceremony (which is a high school) or my field office where I had my interview?

 

I'm confused. Thank you for your help in advance!

DONT MISS YOUR OATH CEREMONY,,,,

change your trip day but dont change your oath ceremony unless you are in a  hospital.

uscis may put a hold on your application. remember this is the most important day of our lifes.

THINK ABOUT IT.

good luck

I have been a LPR since 2012 and I did ROC with a waiver in 2014 after I got divorced. 

 

My current partner and I are wanting to get married this year and I am unsure how my citizenship application will be affected.

 

I am eligible to apply at the end of this month (July 2017) but the application may take some time to be approved so we are weighing up our options.

 

If I apply now and get married during the process, what are the consequences?

 

If we marry before applying, can I change my name on the application and request to be known by my married name or do I have to request to change it on my GC first?

 

Any insight would be appreciated!

 

Thank you 

I would wait until your n400 is done. That way there is no question on either you have a fake marriage to obtain Green Card. My n400 Process took 7 months.. It is worth wait a little be.

 Dont get married after you submit you n400..you are look for a long road os sending more paperwork and more stress. 

Good luck

Hello Folks,

 

Just a little question as I am preparing for my N-400 form. 

I only want to drop my middle name. Should I use the change of name field or wait until I interview and inform the USCIS officer of my preference?

I thought that I could use the change of name section by putting my name which did not change but leave the middle name box blank. Any thoughts?

 

Thank you!

Remember, YOU ALSO HAVE TO CHANGE your name in your home country.

I like to know anyone has applied for N400 application with some sort of criminal record in there application? I tried hiring for a lawyer but I hardly see any good attorney in my state (Iowa). I like to know experiences of people who went for naturalisation process? I have a conviction of simple assault on my application and very confused about this process

What was you charge? I also had Minor criminal record and I passed all the USCIS REQUIREMENTS. Maybe I can help you.

I've applied for another original to bring to the interview because I won't get it in time for when i file the paperwork (if I wait too long to file then my GC will be out of the 6 months before expiry clause...trying to submit the N400 beforehand so I can get my GC extended without paying another fee on top).

 

I'm hoping they will at the very least accept my application with the intention of bringing new originals to the interview..would suck if they reject the application entirely right off the bat.

 

It was hard to get this document 13 years ago...now trying to get the exact same document from them an additional 10 more years ago is nearly impossible.  

You will be fine, all they care is  if you have any incident since you became LPR i know because i was in the same boat. i got all the paperwork f to my n400 interview and He didnt even ask for it, He did ask what was the charges  all about it and i told him the truth...and  the IO said: ALL we care is the last 5 years since you became LPR. but get your paper work in order....Good luck
