Small world! I'm Arlene from Bolivar. I know you thru andrea's Facebook page. I met her and Dan at Seoul Market back in 2012. Lol. I love this website a lot. It was a huge helped for me back in '08.
Hi Arlene, were you the one at the Christmas party one year with Dan and Andie?

Hello, hello! Well, got curious and had to see if there are any old timers (like me) who still hang out here
It's been awhile since I visited VJ... I kind of missed it. Most of the members here that I befriended are on Facebook, so, that's how we get in touch nowadays. Well, just want to say hi! Life's been good for us! Paalam!
-
Finally got my Certificate of Naturalization in the mail. I am really, really done... it's time to sign off. I will miss everyone here.
ALL THE BEST for those who are still waiting (for too long).

It's sfoboy85's oath today, YAY!
-
Thanks for all the replies.... it's good to hear that I don't have to carry the passport card around. I think my real worry is being held by ICE in a holding cell till they can check out my status that I'm a USC. A friend of mine experienced this so it really concerns me. But she was in Costa Rica and lost her identifications when it happened.
-
Besides passport book I also applied for passport card thinking it should serve as a proof that I am a USC. My question is, do we really have to carry it around? My worry is you'll never know when you'll get stopped and questioned about your current status. Will they just take your word for it when you say you're a US citizen? We like to travel to states like NE where every now and then they raid workplaces that hire undocumented immigrants. We were actually in Grand Island, NE when they busted that chicken place out there with hundreds of illegal workers. I thought if I carry around my passport card, traveling would be a lot worry-free, but then, I'm not sure if I really have to. Whatchathink?
P.S. This was probably asked before, sorry I couldn't find any posts about it.

I got my passport card today but still no sign of my CON. Hmmmm... I'm beginning to get anxious.
-
I thought so too. I didn't expect to get it so soon.
-
I was turned away at my field office when I did an early walk in because they were packed that day. However, I didn't really leave. I told them that I will wait till they can work me in. Two hours later, it was lunch break, they finally let me have my Bio done.

Got my passport book in the mail today. That was awesomely fast!!! It is now officially over... goodbye USCIS! Now we wait for my passport card and CON.

I check my status today and this is what it says:
Any idea what is this all about... I did not receive any request for evidence (RFE) notice and now they will say that they receive something for me...
They have this generic RFE notification for some who's interview happened before the greencard's 3rd or 5th year anniversary.
Feeling so frustrated right now, just still waiting on our approval. My husbands 3 year anniversary was up on the 4th (Interview was on Sept 8th) but haven't heard anything re an approval at all
We thought we might get lucky and hear something on the 5th. Has anybody else had their 3 yr anniversary come up after the interview-how long did it take to get your approval? Blah, I hate waiting. Can't wait for this whole process to be over!You also must remember that you're with KC field office where they take their sweet time forever. Hang in there... it should be over soon. You can call them after 45 days and see what's up.

Your passport application is in the final processing stages.
This means you should receive your passport on or about 10/12/2011.
YAY!
:dance: -
Hi Mae! Where are you from in the Philippines?
Northern part, sa Quezon and Laguna provinces
How about you? -
boilermaker,
I applied my citizenship based on the 3-year rule and I only signed 1 paper re: amendment to my N-400 form (we had to change "none" to homemaker).
-
Thanks, Anya! That's exactly what my status says.
-
What was the exact wording? I have been checking mine and it only gives me the application locator number.
-
Yong, try not to loose any sleep! YAY!

That'd be awesome
If Joplin main drag was still there we could meet halfway.I know...
-
I see... I can understand. We had to spare some $$ in a separate savings dedicated to my immigration needs. It was tough to see it went.
-
Passport cards? Not books?
-
Anya, I would add you but I am on mobile right now
Yes, I'm pretty much next door to you 
Wanna have coffee with me

Updating salemave... THAT WAS QUICK! 7 days???

I might not sink in until I get to do something that only citizens get to do:) Although my husband is doing his best to rub it in
I know what you mean. I was able to register to vote by mail the day after my oath and so that's done. Then my husband took me to SSA and updated my status, then applied for a passport. Right now it only shows that they recieved my application, nothing exciting going on yet. I was telling my husband that until I got that blue book, I won't feel like an american, LOL.

Hi Michael, I kind of remember you guys!
Glad to hear life's been good for you and MJ (and kiddos) -- hectic, but good.
A lot has changed here since we were doing our own journey. I am always thankful for this site and refers it to those who need help with their immigration.
Regards!
