Unless it's the same day interview and oath ceremony. Because, sometimes at the end of the interview the officer can immediately scheduled you to go and take the oath for citizenship certificate. But they always take back their green Card only after the oath has been sworn to become officially an American citizen in the best of my knowledge.

What of Dallas field office?

I guess it should be a typo error. @singh0819 wanted to write Filed and not filled 😊😊😊

True. I tried to upload version and it was rejected because I didn't pay the full amount. The reduced fee or waiver only work by mailing your completed form with all the evidence.

You can only filed for a reduced fee or waiver at this time only through by the mailing version. Not online. Even if you filled the upload version, while submitting, it will require you to pay the full amount. If you don't pay, your files will not go through or will be rejected. I tried it last month and it was rejected. I finally mailed my form N-400 plus All the required documents and it was okay 👍. After exactly two weeks, I received my receipt notice, the reused biometric and my online code in order of being able to sign it into my USCIS online account.

Yeah we All know the laws around residency. Stay abroad less or more than 180 days. 1 years+.... The way their doing these days is like green Card holders are no more FREE. They are making them to feel like they are being targeted. That's what we Saw and witnessed this past week at the airport while returning to the USA.

Yeah 👍 👍 That's what I see. It really seems like a crack down on green Card holders. Are we not in the country of the FREE again?

But it's very rare for green Card holders. Reason why we were all astonished at the level they were systematically sending Green card holder for second inspection.

I answered All his questions correctly. So, he could not have enough ground for sending me to the second inspection. It's was just a 12 days spending in Europe.

SO TRUE and confusing! This past week (July 2nd),I was coming from a trip abroad. I noticed that our queue, exclusively green Card holders were having hard times with immigration officers. They were systematically sending almost every Green card holder to second inspection until I wanted to change the queue. Unfortunately, I couldn't do it because I was the next to follow. For the first time, I was asked a lot of questions like: Where are you coming from? Why where you in that country? How many countries did you visit? Are you currently working? I was shocked and very surprised because, those on the visitor queue were not having these level of screening 😕. Their queue were going very fast until we were asking hour self what is going on with green Card holders. It was like they HATED green Card holders. Because that officer couldn't send me to the second inspection, he succeeded to lock my passport and green Card in a small plastic box, handed it to me and asked me to go to the baggages control so that they can check All my bags. After checking All my bags, those officers were even astonished and were asking me WHY the other officer even sent me to THEM...? It's becoming very frightening.....

I didn't apply online. But everything was okay for me after exactly two weeks. My receiving date on my receipts is the date I mailed my application. But I know they will not scheduled now for interview until I clocked the exact 3 years. My timeline is on the general forum.

That's why many immigrants under C08 (Asylum working permit) have a lot of difficulties while returning from any travel abroad. But with C09 category, things are somewhat different.

As for my personal experiences,I had a verbal approval in Paris and few days later, I got in my mailbox my passport with the stamped Visa. But every case is different.

Okay got you 👍 I thought that whenever you have a verbal approval, the supervisor was just reviewing and stamping Thank.

His, Had also been in Paris embassy. That's where I received my US Visa for the first time. Normally, after verbal approval, it can take some days for administrative processing. Sometimes some weeks in case of some complications issues. But it always goes well after verbal approvals.

@Crazy CatI would like to know more about this global entry. Is it only for US citizens or also for LPR?

It's gonna be okay. The difficult part has already been done. Just waiting for the supervisory signature and you are good to go., 🙂 🙂 🙂

Sometimes, The supervisor has to review and sign the approval if the officer who interviewed you is not. His schedule may vary because he or she has other cases before yours to adjudicate. That's why it May take a little bit longer. But the best thing to do as @OldUser has already said,is to always wait for the final signed decision, not verbal before purchasing any international flights tickets.

Okay 👍

Yeah, I indeed applied last month through Wawa (IB6). 3 years provision and 90 days early filing and everything went pretty well for me. Received All the receipts and currently waiting for my interview to be scheduled. Hope the same for you as well 😊 😊 😊
