I will be visiting family in Philippine and ahd to stay in Manila for night. I am flying with my sister in law and almost 2 year old son. I want a safe, clean descent hotel to sleep in for a night. Any suggestions??

I just had my oath taking yesterday. So proud to be an American. Thank you to everyone here in Visajourney for all the help!! God bless us all

I had my interview on 8/18. I received my oath taking schedule in the mail today. It is scheduled for September 28,2011. Thanks everyone for all the help and support. I am so happy I am finally done with this whole process. Goodluck to everyone!!!

One of the requirements that was asked for me to bring for the interview is my Philippine passport. However, I couldn't find it anymore- looks like I lost it. Would this be a [problem in the interview? If I renew it, I need to fly to Washington DC which is $$$$.

Just got a mail today with my interview schedule set on August 18, 2011. So excited! Please update my info. Thank you so much and good luck to all of us.

Quick question, when you do the finger printing, do they also take your picture? Thanks

I got my biometrics appointment today. It is scheduled on July 5th at 11am. I am planning to do an early appointment. I have a quick question though, is it really OK to do a walk in with the biometrics? I am taking my toddler with me so I dont want to drive an hour and get turn down because it's too ear;y to do it.

Please add my timeline FP appointment July 5th, 2011.

#######! I messed up in posting the timelines. So sorry. I only added myself for NOA1. I am trying to delete the one that I posted above but not able to. So sorry.

Could somebody add me please. NOA1 is 5/02/11. Thanks so much!

P

I received a notification today through text and email that my application was received on May 3, 2011.

I guess I would consider myself as MAY Applicant since I sent my package on 4/28/11

USCIS Dallas/Lewisville, Texas Lockbox

I will be sending my application for Citizenship tomorrow. I just have a few questions. Do we need a money order or a cashier's check for the $680 processing fee? I know the two are different but I went to the bank today and asked for a cashier's check for "U.S Dept. of Homeland Security" (Yes, Dept. was abbreviated by the bank cashier!). Should I have to redo it? Please let me know. Thanks!

Hi everyone. Just a short note that I received an email on 12/07/09 that card production has been ordered. Thanks to everyone who has been very helpful on this journey. To the rest who have are not approved yet, just hang in there.

FYI: I am at the hospital and waiting for our first baby to be delivered. Hopefully tomorrow he will come out! YAAAAAY!!! Happy Holidays everyone!!

I am going to have my biometrics tomorrow. Qucik question, do they take another picture of you? Or just finger printing?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone! Pls add me. I got my ASC Appointment notice today with a notice date of 9/1/2009. My Biometric Appointment is on 9/29/2009.

Thanks so much!

Hi everyone! I received my I-751 Receipt Notice today. Receipt date is 8/21/09. Thanks so much

That'd be my understanding - either Homeland Security or USCIS. Personally I'd do Homeland Security, as the forms themselves still say that. I assume USCIS would be ok or they wouldn't have said so, but I'm one of those 'error on the side of caution' people.

Thank you so much Mr and Mrs Bird and TracyTN!! I will wright it for Department of Homeland Security. I will mail it today (overnight-USPS). Should get there tomorrow.

Ok. My packet was returned to me today. Unfortunately, I put the wrong amount for the I-751. Insetad of $545.00, the the money order was only for $ 540.00.

Question: There is a notice attached to the package that says

"Since the reorganization of the INS into three new agencies under the Department of Homeland Security, there has been confusion regarding who remittances should be made payable to. Unless specified above, your application is not being rejected for incorrect payee information, however to ensure proper processing of future applications, please make checks and/otr money orders payable to "Department of Homeland Security or U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services".

So I can either wright the check for "Department of Homeland Security"or "U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services".

Is that correct? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

P.S I hope someone can reply to my inquiry ASAP. So i can mail it today. This problem doesnt help my pregnancy...lol

Hi Everyone!

Kindly add me to the list. I sent my packet on 08/08/09 via UPS. Thanks so much

I have my package going in on Monday.

Evidence included:

I-751 Form - Petition to Remove Conditions

Copy of front and rear of Permanent Resident Card

Photos of applicant and spouse (March 2008, August 2008 and May 2009)

Copy of auto lease from May 2007

Lease, 2008-2009

Lease, 2009-2010

Credit card statement (November 2007)

Joint Bank Account statements (Dec 2007, May 2008, Oct 2008, Jan 2009, March 2009 and June 2009)

Joint Income Tax Return for 2007

Joint Income Tax Return for 2008

Took about 30 minutes to put together and I am happy that it is sufficient based upon what I saw last time. The AOS interview back in '07 took about 5 mins and we included a similar amount of evidence last time so I am not going overboard.

Good luck all.

Paul

Hi Paul,

My husband and I are getting ready to send my I-751 requirements. I see above that you are also sending "Photos of applicant and spouse (March 2008, August 2008 and May 2009)". Please let me know what these photos are? I am kind of confuse

Hi everyone!

I am preparing my I-751 packet and hoping to complete the requirements this month. I am kind of confused on the Two completed fingerprint cards (Form FD-258) . Do you set an appoitment at your local USCIS so they can administer this? Please let me know.

Thanks so much,

Dani

I have a question for everyone..what's Advance Parole for??? and who should apply for it?

one use is for travel outside of USA while AOS from K-1 is pending.

So that means that if you already have your Green Card..there's no reason to apply for Advance Parole since you can travel outside the USA??

That's correct. You don't need it with a GC. As soon as you have your GC you become a LPR therefore you can travel as you want.

The AP is pretty much for people who have scheduled trips outside of the US or have to deal with an emergency. Since most visas are single entry visas, if people live the country while GC pending and without an AP the USCIS considers that they abandon their case, that's why it can be usefuk to have it until the GC.

Owhh ok..i got it! Thank you so much for answering my question
