Applied n-400 (already approved 10 years GC)  on AUG 31. Apreared for the N-400 interview last week and approved.

on interview, waited for 30 mins and after that an officer took me in and it took 15 mins in total. 

the officer asked following questions

1. what 1 promise you give as an us citizen 
2. only right for US citizen 
3. responsibility for us citizen
4. How many U.S. Senators are there?
5. name 2 US holidays
6. not remembered

Then english verbal and written 1 line for each. Asked some personal questions, didn't ask any document or photo or anything, but it depends on case to case.  

And took my both green cards, kept the 2 years one with them and gave back the 10 year one. Gave me a printed letter  - recommended for approval

A week later got an oath letter saying naturalization ceremony after 2 months 

if anyone is preparing for the civic test, get a free paperback copy from biometric center. can just visit the ASC and ask for the copy. Also flashcards are good options for self study/

Hi, 

We’re preparing our documents. 
We’ve a question about - sworn affidavits by someone attesting to our relationship and marriage.

Our parents live with us. Can we have letters from them? Or do we need letters from friends and not family? 
Thank you! 

Keep monitoring it m. It is visibled when you login. Ensure to pay the fees soon. Interview date shows 2 or 3 months backlogs.!

but meanwhile get your pcc ready and once you pay fees keep checking it. Sometimes you may see the slot when someone cancel or reachedule it.

 I'm speechless. I have been on VJ for almost 5 years. For many of those years I have helped many to achieve there goal of getting a visa. You just really surprised me with your entry above. I tried helping you and all you can do is cross out my text. You are very rude, arrogant and quite lazy. You depend on others to do the work for you when they are trying to get through this process in their Country. You don't take the time to read the thread were you questions have been asked by others and answered by others and now you want everyone to kowtow to your request. As far as I am concerned you are on your own as I refuse to try and help someone of your ilk. 

Dear Greenbaum, You took my post very negatively, I just removed those questioned (strigke out) which according to you were already answered and I didnt ask those questions, though You answered it again even after knowing it was answered and other people also answer it again. so I removed them by highlighting it. I didn't and never mean what you believed about my behavior. I do go throuh the posts on daily basis.

About your experience, I really appricate that you have been here for long time, it's visibled on your profile, If I had similar experience like you, you would have reacted differently rather than getting short temper & judging the people based on striking the text. I'm also surprised that people are supporting to your negative reactions.

Again,  Thanks for all your help about my queries, & I'm sorry if you felt insulting due to striking text, I didn't mean that way.

Dear friends, can any one give suggestions on below, thanks. 

1. Apart from I-134, recent communications, photoes, whatsapp chat, email communication etc what are the other possible documents/ evidences I need to take during my interview? Divorce and/or Death Certificate, Police Clearance if you have lived in another country since the age of 16 for more than 6 months, medical exam results (if your Embassy requires that you carry to your interview), 2X2 photos if required by your Embassy and evidence of a relationship (you can use what you submitted with your I-129f). Don't show any pictures of any gatherings that my "look to be" a marriage ceremony or celebration of a marriage. Often times this can get you a denial or slow the approval process. So don't take the chance.

2. Do I also need to take copy of i129F? No

3. Any chances of success if I ask my fiancé to present during interview? No there isn't any advantage to "greasing anyone's palm".  If you attend the interview that has a favorable influence.

4. Do the consulate ask to provide any details on weeding plans? What is we can represent to them for this ? They may ask that question after all this is a visa to immigrate to the US for the intention of marriage.

Do you have the letter from your Embassy in what to bring for the interview. That's your checklist.

Ink Signature No Longer Required on Affidavits of Support (12/28/2016)

December 28, 2016

As part of our ongoing efforts to be responsive to customer needs in immigrant visa processing, the Department of State is pleased to announce that original or “wet ink” signatures are no longer required on submitted Forms I-864, Affidavit of Support. This also applies to the I-864A, I-864W, and I-864EZ.

Starting January 1, 2017, the National Visa Center (NVC) will accept photocopies and scanned versions of signed Forms I-864 and associated documents. Please note that the form must still be signed; typed names and electronic signatures will not be accepted. NVC will only ask petitioners to submit an amended Form I-864 to NVC if the financial sponsor’s name and personal information are missing; there is no signature at all; or if there are missing pages.

 

This also applies to the I-134

It's clearly said about NVC, and not the Conslute (US embassy in your country),  For i-134, wet sign is mandatory.

can someone help me on following?

I-134 Question 26.a.

"I have submitted a visa petition(s) to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on behalf of the following persons. (If none, write "None" in the space for name below.)

For this question, do the petitional need to specify the person names  - if he/has previously filed visa petition for parents ?

On 4/30/2018 at 11:31 PM, Trinab80 said:

Yes, you would list your fiance's name there in question 26.a

 

You do not intend for question 38.

question 38 - it must be I intend to support.

If you don't intend to support your beneficiary, it will be trouble for you in getting K visa.

Can someone send me the list of vaccination we must need to get it? thanks.

All the best Amit, Hope you get approved for K1 visa soon. please share interview experience and guide me if you have anything for preparations.

1. Yes, the I-134 AND the new letter reconfirming their desire to marry you still (yes you submit a new one, again) both must be "wet" aka signed in ink thus snail mailed from the petitioner to beneficiary or picked up in person for the beneficiary to take to the interview.

2. Yes either the petitioner or the beneficiary can call NVC to get approval number. All you need is your original application number and both of your full names and DOB's. 

 

I am not sure what you mean by "do they send email after I call them or they do not track it?"

"Email" concerning what?

"Track" what?

 

Thanks, What I means is, some times, they take a request number and send email so frequent calling them woul dbe problem. but I guess they do not do this.

Can any one help me on below query ?

1. Do I need to get I-134 from US petitioner for K1 visa interview, does it need to be signed in original?

2. Can K1 beneficiary allowed to Call NVC to get number, do they send email after I call them or they do not track it?

I got my police certificate about 2 months ago because ours is valid for 12 months. I think it depends on the country :)?  

Any idea? How many police verification we need if we stayed in 1country but in multiple states for more than 1 year?
