Bonjour cecy,
Pour ma part, je suis allee votez mais ce n'etait qu'une heure de route pour l'aller retour. Cela sera sympathique pour les legislatives de voter par internet.

Personnellement, je suis devenu americaine parce que c'est mon deuxieme pays (ici depuis bientot dix ans) et que j'en avais assez d'uscis. De plus, nous envisageons d'emigrer vers un autre pays tres prochainement et n'avons aucune envie de recommencer a zero si nous revenons ici.
En ce qui concerne les taxes, ce n'est pas un probleme. Mon mari est americain donc peut importe si je prenais la nationalite americaine ou non, I l aura tjs besoin de faire ses taxes. L'argument de reporter a l'irs n'a aucune importance quand notre conjoint(e) est americain(e).
Je ne vois aucun desavantage a avoir la double nationalite.

I must admit the day didn't start as I was hoping it to. We were all upstairs waiting to be called and some guy comes out and says there's a problem with the printer and the certificates and we all had to wait another 40 minutes. But once it got going everything went fine and I was out just after 1.20 pm
Went straight to the passport agency and applied for my expedited passport. The woman was really nice and she said I could come and collect it after christmas at the agency, the whole process took 20 mins! Not sure Lili if you were there on a busy day but the woman told me it was a slow day..
still got the social security thing to do, will probably do that after new year...
I just wanted to thank everyone on VJ especially you guys; the July filers. having people to share this whole process is so rewarding. I wish you all a happy christmas and a peaceful new year...
I AM DONE WITH USCIS!!!!
I went to the passport agency the day before thanksgiving so it was also slow. Very straightforward process though. You will keep pinching yourself for the next few weeks that you are a us citizen and done with uscis. Happy holidays to you too. I am glad that you see done before the new year. Good luck with your move!
And so we did huniebee! Just got the email saying that we are scheduled for an interview!!
Just in time for Christmas! That must have been the last thing on that officer's desk before they left for holidays! Happy holidays to everyone!Yeah! Happy holidays to you and everyone!

Just tell them your are driving to canada on such and such dates. I did the same thing last week. I went to the seattle passport office on the 23, told them thwart I was driving to canada on december third. Just received the passport yesterday. They are used to people doing that.

Congrats sharky! So excited for you!

Boilermaker & Lili,
Appreciate the info in the other post I did. Yeah I've been spending this morning coming to terms with the fact that the chances of me getting my oath ceremony before Jan 10th is practically zero now. It's better that I accept this then wake up every morning angry and stressed, especially when I've done everything I can do at this point.
As to your last comment Lili, there is no return for me. Those tickets were one way, and my return to the US is on hold for the foreseeable future, hence the urgency of the whole situation for me. I have to delay everything that I was planning on starting in another country because USCIS couldn't process my application within the appropriate timelines.
If it was anything else I would just forget about it until i got the notice, because there would be no urgency involved.
Understand why I have been so stressed now?
Ah, I see. Sharky, you need to get your representatives to get things moving. I know you have been wanting to wait a while but you have nothing to lose at this point. I am sure that if you are recommended for approval,you could try to do an infopass and ask for an oath ASAP. One of the person at my ceremony was called the day before by his IO. And 2/3 of the people there were people that had interviewed the morning of.
They definitely would understand the sense of urgency and fit you in.
-
The seattle office does same day oaths multiple times a week. When they mail you the oath notification, it will be a month notice. So at this point, I don't think it is going to happen this month. Unless you receive a phone call the day before by your io.
Sorry that you are still waiting. After you return from your trip, I recommend asking for your legislators help. It will be three months at that point.

wow Lili thanks for all the information, it will be very helpful when I (hopefully soon) go to get my oath ceremony. I don't think it's really worth getting legislators involved yet, as it's only been 48 days since my interview. Wow doesn't sound much when I type it but it feels like an eternity lol
Interesting information about the passport agency, so did you expedite the application (pay more for two weeks than four?). At this rate I'll probably be paying the most and getting it on the same day, if that's possible
great to here about your day, did you take a canoe to the field office ? lol this rain is crazy!
I am rooting for you (and others). You are definitely more patient than me.
Let's hope that after Thanksgiving, your IO decides to take a look at your file and do something about it, anything!You have to pay the expedite fee when you apply at the Seattle Passport Agency, regardless or not if you need it to be expedited. If you wanted to get it the same day, you would have to prove that you are leaving the country the very next day (airline tickets, hotel reservation, etc...).
I applied yesterday and it is showing in their system as of 2am this morning. We will see how long this takes.
I am glad the rain finally stopped. It was getting a bit ridiculous...
-
Lili how did it go?
and CONGRATS!!!!!!
Thank you! After 9 years 2 months and 10 days, it feels weird to consider myself an American citizen. It hasn't quite sunk in yet. I do feel like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders to not have to deal with USCIS after so many years.
Here is some details about the ceremony. Because soon it will be your turn, Sharky!
We arrived half hour early. The security officer told us to skip check in and to go straight upstairs to the waiting area.
As we drew closer to the appointment time, a gentleman (IO, I presumed - he also presided over the ceremony) asked us to make sure we had a blue or white form, he then disappeared. Blue or white form? I was puzzled. Everyone around us seemed to have a blue form so i was a bit worried at that point. I went downstairs and the lady at check in kept saying to check in upstairs. I told her "with whom? There is no officer upstairs". I made my way upstairs and the hubby said that the blue form is for people that had the interview earlier the same day. The white form is just the oath notice letter you get in the mail. Ah, much better.
So the family and friends were then instructed to go downstairs to sit down in the auditorium downstairs. When you enter the building, it is the room on the left in the lobby (behind the stairs). After they were done being seated, the gentleman asked us to make two lines and to head downstairs. Right before entering the door, they were checking everybody's name off of a checklist and then the greencards were thown into a bin. They then told everyone their assigned seat numbers. As we entered the auditorium, someone handed us a packet. It contained various information, a letter from Barack Obama, a flag and a passport application form.
There was two representatives from the Seattle Passport Agency. Important fact...in the packet will be a flyer telling you that newly naturalized citizens can apply in person at the Seattle office T-W-Thu from 8 am to noon without making an appointment or having travel arrangements within two weeks (more info below).
The ceremony was nothing earth shattering. I guess that I expected something else. Maybe it is because I expected a grandiose ceremony after so many years lol.
Double, triple check that there is no error on the certificate. As soon as you walk out of the door, you have to file and pay for a replacement.
So as I didn't have work today, I figured that I would go apply at the Seattle Passport Agency. I know I could have applied somewhere else but I wanted it quickly in my hand. I also thought that it may be a more straightforward process to apply at the Agency.
They have a brand new building at 5th Ave and Yessler Way. I went to the sixth floor and took a right. There a security officer asked for an appointment confirmation. This is when I showed him the flyer and he let me through. He also told me that you can't use your cell in the waiting room. I was free to go in the hallway and use it there though.
I then headed to the check in counter. The lady asked for my documents, my appointment letter and travel arrangements confirmation. This is when I showed the flyer once again (see a pattern there? lol). She then emphasized that even though I don't have any travel arrangements, the expedite fee will be charged. I acquiesced and she handed me back my records along with a number.
I went to sat down. I recommend bringing a book. I had nothing and got bored a bit.
When my number was called, I headed to the counter. They kept my certificate and that was it. He said that I should be able to check my application on Monday night. We should see. I just want my certificate back.
Are you going to get your legislator involved Sharky?

I am French but I figured I would chime in.
I have been in the US for 9 years 2 months and 9 days (but who is counting?). I have enjoyed being here but it doesn't feel right. I just don't fit in. People are too busy with their lives and forget to just live. I have made few true friendships (two) but it took me years to find those friends.
I miss home. I miss the laid back attitude, good food and people that value family/friendship over work.
So here we are, planning to move to Montreal. Yeah, I know not France but we are looking for a new adventure in a bilingual environment (hubby wants to be immersed in a French environment).
I will add one more thing. When I first moved here, the culture shock was tough even though I have visited the country before. And inevitably, homesickness set in. What helped me was to immerse myself and to "forget" France. I took this experience as a new chapter in my life and have no regret. That and I met my wonderful hubby. I would do it again just for him.
To the OP, take this as an adventure. And remember, your life is what you make of it. Try this adventure and if you are unhappy in a few years, the world is open to you. Nothing says that we have to settle for the US for the rest of our mortal lives. :-) Just put your heart into it and everything will work itself out. And your soon-to-be husband will be there every step of the way.

Sharky, I am sorry that the infopass didn't result in anything positive. Are you considering writing to the legislators?
I am still rooting for everyone. I have been checking everyday just not posting. Like I did for the aos, I will keep checking until everyone is approved in this thread.

Weird, they could have proceeded with the interview but do the oath after your third anniversary. That is usually what they do.

well I had my infopass meeting at Seattle field office, and the final outcome is that maybe it helped?! although I can't be sure. The IO I spoke to was very nice. I explained my situation and she kind of laughed when I said my interview was on October 6th, she said "only 3 weeks ago?". Anyway I explained that I knew of others in the same field office who had their oath letters already etc., and she basically pushed a few buttons and concluded to me "it's still with the officer".... I couldn't say much to that, but it's more than what I would have got on a 1-800 number. Anyway she suggested that I quickly write a letter there and then to my N400 IO explaining I had came down and had concerns that something was wrong and she said she would make sure that it would go in the file. If that means someone has to pull my file out and deal or push it ahead then fine. Finally after I told her that this field office was very quick, she counteracted with "the N400 process is 4 months give or take"...
So my 4 months is Nov 16th so fingers crossed I'll hear something in the next few weeks. Boilermaker if it means taking valuable time off work I wouldn't make an infopass TBH, I'm sure we'll both hear something in the next two weeks, given the timelines she told me.
Sharky, I am glad that you had positive results with your infopass. Did you ask what may be a reason why it is seating with the io? I am sure you will be doing your oath before next year.

well those are re-assuring words Aminesbaby but I'm still skeptical that updating an address or a phone call (you called the 1 800 number to ask about what was happening?) actually meant that they theoretically "picked your case from the pile" and "pushed" it forward. Believe me though I want to believe that...
all I did was talk to a customer service rep which was similar to calling a Dell computer customer service line: absolutely useless and I doubt very much that it has an effect on my case sitting in Seattle field office.
Lili, my infopass is scheduled for next Tuesday. Maybe it won't come to that, but your news has made me feel sick to my stomach now. Please don't take that the wrong way, just you were the only other Seattle field office person that I could relate to, and let's face it at this stage it's all down to each field office and how quickly they process cases..
All I can do is keep waiting, my "time window" is getting narrower by the day as is my patience lol
I am not taking it the wrong way, I totally understand what you mean. Have you tried to get to a level 2 officer over the phone? From what I hear, level 1 cs are useless. Please let me know how your infopass goes. If the IO you get is not much helpful, ask specific questions such as: did the background check goes through? Do I need to submit more paperwork? I am planning to travel overseas and would like to have an estimate on when the oath is, etc.
And who knows maybe you will get some good news before your infopass. *crosses fingers for you*

How about making an infopass at your local uscis office? They will be able to give you a straight answer and put your mind at ease. I really don't think it will cause you any issues down the roaed but do the infopass.
