Hi everyone

I passed my interview today. The officer was a lady that was nice but spoke very quietly

Then she said i passed and that I will get a notice of the oath ceremony.

Back to the waiting room, we waited 45 minutes before someone called me and gave me my notice for the Oath ceremony in two weeks!!

Congrats!

If I'm not mistaken, NickD was in very similar situation as you, bio in Milwaukee but interview/oath at St Paul or something like that. Sorry I don't have anymore info.

July 11, 2013

nothing to be nervous about. just study those 100 questions, you'll only have to get 6 right, they rarely ever ask difficult questions (years/dates/numbers/names). you get 3 tries for each reading and writing portion on the spot. Even if fail the test, you'll just have to reschedule and re-take the failed portion of the test.

or just guess the date. not a big deal.

One advantage of using personal check is you can easily see if the check is cashed. Usually cashed check means your application is being processed. Money order/cashier's check can't do that as far as I know. Also money order has a fee and cashier's check too if you are not a member of the bank.

July 5, 2013

Since the law just passed, maybe it's a good idea to consult a lawyer just in case. Read through the forums and get some ideas.Welcome to VJ!

btw, I hired a lawyer with AOS but it was pretty much a waste of money, so I did ROC and N400 myself. If your case is simple, there's no need to hire a lawyer.

Here's older version (05-ish) of Notice of Naturalization Oath Ceremony.

Will I still be able to participate? I'm panicking I prepared everything last week and now that I'm preparing I can't find it. This can't be happening. I would really appreciate your inputs. Thanks

Did you make a copy? You can bring a copy if you don't have the original. I'd go for it even if you can't find it. Chances are, you'll have to explain your situation to the security guards but I'm sure you will be allowed to take the oath. I think there is a scanned version of that Yes/No questionnaire floating around somewhere too. I'd just print that out.

July 2, 2013

I would include a letter too just in case.

July 2, 2013

In the last few years a lot of states changed their driver license rules to make their drivers licenses de facto proofs of legal presence [This may have something to do with adopting compliance or at least equivalence with the Real-ID Act]. I obtained my Utah DL in December 2009, so I got a full-term 5-year DL. The only proof of legal presence I showed was my one-year EAD.

Starting January 1, 2010, they changed the rules so that your DL would only be good for the term of whatever legal presence document you showed them. If I'd have applied in January with my EAD, I'd have gotten a DL good only for one year. I actually got my two-year GC in early December, shortly after the DL. If I'd have applied in January with my two-year GC, I'd have gotten a two-year DL - which would have made things very interesting [and not in a good way] when RoC came around, trying to renew a DL on the strength of the RoC NOA1 extension letter.

I suspect that if you had a shorter term DL, and then became a citizen, you could notify the DMV and have your DL expiry date extended out to the full fiver-year term (the longest they'll do). That's why I wanted to clarify with them whether they needed to update my immigration status once I'd become a citizen.

Of course all of this can vary wildly from state to state, so it's best to check with your own state's DMV for whether they care about your naturalization or not prior to your next DL renewal.

To add to this, some DMVs (eg. Wisconsin) will renew your ID (10-yr) for free next time if you received shorter term DL previously.
