    Thank you! Here in NY they don't do it like that. I got a big scare on Friday 22nd when I went to Federal Plaza with my first oath letter . They called my name on the microphone and asked me to come to the front..LOL.I said to myself.."Now what???" but now I am glad that everything is over an it felt soo good when yesterday the inmigration team that was in the court proccesing us said "Congratulations" to all of us and left even before the judge came out.

    All I can say is that it was a nice experience and it felt wonderful to be naturalized in NYC with so many people of different backgrounds and cultures and now we are all AMERICANS!!

    Congratulations at last, AlmaD (or whatever your new name is). Strange - in the MA ceremony, which was NOT in a Court, it was explained that when the Judge arrived, certain procedural formalities would be completed to make the venue into a temporary Court... so that the name changes could be legally applied. Everyone who had a name change then got a separate legal paper attached to the Certificate of Naturalization which was a legal and official record of the name change. There must be some 'legal' reason in NY why a non-court venue can't be temporarily designated as a court.

    Anyway, you are done at last - after a frustrating week's delay.

    I watched 'Citizen USA' on HBO (on demand) last night - a documentary visiting different Oath ceremonies across the USA. It was very moving.

    Hello All!! A quick update of my oath ceremony. Finally, I became an U.S. Citizen yesterday July 29th at the U.S District court in NYC at 500 Pearl St..

    Here is my story...

    On Friday 22nd I went to 26 Federal plaza just as my oath letter said. After 10 minutes seated my name was called then a lady asked me if I didn't received a letter fromm USCIS rescheduling the oath ceremony for July 29 th, I said no, then she expalined to me that because of the last name change I had togo to the courtto get naturalized.Yestarday was one of the best day of my life. I did enjoy my ceremony and I'll be glad to crlebrate his birthday.

    Thank you

    Oath this aft - anything else I need?

    Congratulations.. finally done!!! I am planning to take one of my boys ( 5 and a half year old). He is very well behaved when my 7 year old is not around. They don't run or anything like that but can't keep silence when they are together....talk..talk...and more talk. And since my dearest cousin and her hubby are going to be there with us, I am pretty sure he will be as quite as a mouse because he loves and respect my cousin and he is always making sure to be like a :innocent: around her.

    Done deal folks - I am officially a US citizen.

    Arrived at 1 pm at Fairfax office - waited until my name was called - I handed in my GC, my old 2 yr GC (I didn't have the old EAD or AP) The guy at the wicket said it was no big deal. Had me sign something that looks similar to the citizenship cert (probably their copy).

    Waited 10 minutes until they herded us up to the Oath ceremony room. After 20 minutes of speeches, the Oath ,the Pledge of Allegiance and the handing out of the certificates, we were done.

    Passed by the SSN office on the way home and changed my citizenship status there, tomorrow I'll take my certificate to work so they can change my status in the HR system and then I'll go get a passport

    PS: Lots of people brought too many relatives/friends - please take heed and DO NOT BRING EVERYBODY YOU KNOW - they really should limit it to 2 guests per person. My husband noted that there were at least a few families who brought very small children who did not know how to behave (or maybe it was the parents)and they really should have been left at home - they were honestly a disturbance to the proceedings which are important to those receiving citizenship.

    So while people's children ran wild the ceremony tried to continue (don't give me grief - I have 3 of my own and when they were small, I left them at home ;) )

    I didn't and my case was a little bit out of the ordinary because I had to remove my conditional residence twice!!! Surprisingly, I didn't get asked anything about it. Personall,y I don't recommend hiring a lawyer unless there is something major going on like removal procedings or some criminal ofense.

    I have a question for all - did any of you use an Immigration Lawyer to get you through the N-400 process? I ask because as I waited before and after my interview (which I passed - without the assistance of a lawyer) I noticed that quite a few of the other applicants had lawyers with them, who seemed to be doing nothing other than making encouraging/inane/obvious comments about the process. I wondered how much these lawyers were charging per hour to accompany people through what is actually a very simple and straightforward process.

    Comments anyone?

    Interview review - Fairfax, VA

    in US Citizenship General Discussion

    Posted

    Congratulations!!! At least is over now!!! I was praying not to get a woman just because almost every bad experience I have read the interviewer was a female. I can't complaint about the IO's I saw at Federal Plaza. They were like 4 more people from my country that passed the interview too and were very pleased with their interviewers. Even the security guard at the room's entry was wishing good luck to everyone! I remember that he was even joking with an old lady that was still studying the questions while waiting to be called. He asked her " Do you know the name of the first presidente?.... Remember it wasn't Barack Obama..LOL it was too funny!!

    Congrats again!! You deserve a good night sleep!!:dance:
