Had the oath yesterday in Denver! Yeay, all done! I posted my experience on the immigrationportal forum, under the Denver thread...I figured it wasn't really helpful here since there aren't any Denver folks on this thread!

Congratulations to everyone else, and good luck to those who aren't done yet.

Got my oath notice today for July 16th!

i wonder what happened to joannak and pathmover. i hope they got the approval.

Sorry I didn't report back. Interview went well and was approved. Hoping to get an oath soon.

Hi guys! It's me again. Well apparently, my husband may have to relocate soon with his job. I have my interview on May 15th. What happens if we move right after that? What will happen with my oath? Can i take it in another state?

I could've written this post! My interview is on May 15th, and we will probably have to relocate for my husband's job in the next few months too! I'm wondering what's going to happen with the oath too. I will ask the IO at the interview!

Got my interview letter today! It is scheduled for May 15th!

I received my NOA last Friday, and the notice for fingerprinting Saturday. That was a nice surprise. Appointment is at the end of this month!

sent N400 Feb 8 2008

(Although -- very stupid that I forgot to answer 1 question on the application (Are you a male, if yes did you register for selective service) application will probably be returned.)

Sent N400 2/5/08.

Good luck, I hope they don't return your app!

Got the tax transcripts in the mail yesterday LOL. Just need to double check everything and packet'll be mailed today!

Thanks for the input! I am ready to mail today! It is snowy and cold but I'll make it to the post office

Besides sending tax transcripts/returns and children's birth certificates (we have 2 children), how much documentation should I send for my application that's based on 3 years of marriage? I have TONS of stuff...mortgage statements, bank accounts, life insurance, health insurance, etc etc etc.

Do I mail copies of all of these in? A select few? Or should I just bring all the documentation to the interview and only mail in the tax transcripts/returns and children's birth certificates?

Thanks!

Well since I already requested them by phone last Friday, I guess I'll give it a few more days...

I requested the tax transcripts exactly 3 weeks ago (by mail), and they're not here yet! I have no idea why I didn't request them by phone, I think I was trying to avoid hold time and didn't realize the request would be automated. I went ahead and requested them by phone just in case they didn't get my mail request.

Anyway, I noticed that the M-477 specifies: tax returns, bank accounts, leases, mortgages or birth certificates of children OR IRS tax return transcripts. I do have pdf copies of our tax returns, birth certificates of our children (born 2002 and 2006), mortgage statements, etc etc. I'm just itching to send my application out. Should I wait a few more days for the transcripts? Or can I send in my form with the other documents instead (and just bring the transcripts to the interview?

Thanks!

Oh thanks so much for the replies! I had no idea that my husband didn't have to be at the interview. I didn't do enough research!

We've definitely lived together with our kids the whole time, I just didn't know whether his time away for work would be considered not "living together". Guess I can actually send my N-400 shortly then. I've just requested our tax transcripts though, I will now have to do some research on whether I need to send those with the application or if I only need them for the interview.

Thanks again!

I think I may have to ask a lawyer to get a definite answer -- but I thought I'd ask here first in case anyone had a similar experience.

Hubby and I have been married 7 years, will have my GC for 3 years in April 2008, so I could theoretically send my N-400 this month. However, in the last 6 months, my husband's job has been on a rotation - month on (overseas)-month off. He's obviously home with us the months that he's off, but when he's at work, he's overseas. Does this disqualify me from filing for citizenship based on the 3 year marriage since he's not around all the time?

Another thing, if I am able to file, I assume my husband has to be at the interview. I'll be taking my chances since my interview could be scheduled at a time that he's out of the country working. Would I then just have to try to reschedule it?

I'd be filing at the Denver office. Thanks for any tips!
