US Citizenship General Discussion	What are you doing with your "old" citizenship?	QUOTE (2bornot2b @ Feb 25 2009, 06:47 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (moonhunt @ Feb 25 2009, 06:44 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Some country doesn't have a choice. According to the law, my original citizenship will be lost automatically when I become other country's citizen. Yes. But how will your original country know? Also you can go back and use your birth certificate to apply for a passport??? It's not necessarily that easy to get the passport for your "old" country renewed. Germany, for example, requires you to provide proof of legal presence in the US when you apply for a passport via one of the consulates. So to get a new German passport I had to show them my valid greencard. Once you have citizenship you only have a US passport to show. From that it would be pretty easy to spot that you took US citizenship. Not sure what the passport application form asks for when I would apply for a passport in Germany.	thea	Female	Germany	2009-02-25 19:21:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	Fairfax VA oath ceremony info	I don't think you have to take your hubby. They didn't ask to see my hubby either which was good because he had to go on an unexpected business trip that day. I would have liked to have him there for calm my nerves though @Stella: where did you hear that? It seemed like a well oiled machine there at the Fairfax office and that they were happy to get people through as quickly as possible.	thea	Female	Germany	2009-02-18 07:34:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	Fairfax VA oath ceremony info	There is an oath ceremony at 4pm. Not sure if there is one after that - when I asked I was told that they try to have one every 2 hours.	thea	Female	Germany	2009-02-10 18:57:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	How can I withdraw a petition for naturalization?	QUOTE (warlord @ Mar 5 2009, 12:33 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So you should really think hard of which one of the two countries you want to live in from now on, because since Germany doesn't allow dual citizenship, you will pretty much need to choose one or another. You won't be able to do both... Wrong - Germany does allow dual citizenship... read previous posts	thea	Female	Germany	2009-03-05 12:38:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	How can I withdraw a petition for naturalization?	QUOTE (eatingraoul @ Mar 4 2009, 05:47 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks all for the suggestions. Well, the thing is that me and my wife plan to move to Europe in a few years, so losing my german passport would be a pretty bad move..... The question still is....do I endanger my permanent resident status by withdrawing from US Naturalization? Thanks again! And yes, it would be interesting to go to the interview and just say "I'm not interested anymore", but I don't want to waste anybody's time.....I have to find out how to do it by phone or something. Germany allows dual citizenship. However, it is not automatic. You will have to apply for a "Beibehaltungsgenehmigung" through your German consulate and need to have the approval from the Bundesverwaltungsamt in hand prior to taking the oath for US citizenship. I applied for the BBG on 30 September 2008 and the approval was issued on 2 December 2008. Not too bad. I recommend going that route.

US Citizenship General Discussion	Filling N400 - Spouse's Immigration Status	So you are saying your wife is here on an expired visa and has been for years? Meaning she is here illegally? I am not sure but for me this sounds like it could impact your citizenship application based on moral character? I know the application is not about her status and application but harboring an illegal immigrant is illegal. Why didn't you make sure your wife has legal status?	thea	Female	Germany	2008-11-14 20:35:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Where's everybody at.......	We got married on 4 July 2004 but I only got the greencard in September 2005. So we've got some time until we get to submit the I-751 Well, Chris keeps asking when I get US citizenship so that we can move to Europe. He's getting a bit impatient with being stuck in the same place for so long but I'm not really a big fan of moving anyway so I don't care - got to finish renovating the house first! I'm amazed actually that I have been here for so long already. I got on that plane exactly 2 years ago!!!	thea	Female	Germany	2006-06-26 17:24:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Interview or not	My guess would be that if you are going to have an interview it would be the last step in the process of adjudicating your petition. Same as with AOS. So the biometrics would definitely come before you get the invitation for the interview.	thea	Female	Germany	2007-06-11 06:34:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Filed on 05/18/2007	Just a quick update. As you all know we sent I-751 on May 18th , and they received it on 21st. Today we got the extension letter ( which was prepared on May 29th)in less than a month. We also got a biometrics receipt last week. Waooo they really working faster for you... Good luck great! let's hope this is a new trend for them to speed up!!!	thea	Female	Germany	2007-06-12 06:15:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Filed on 05/18/2007	yeah, well... they really liked my paperwork at USCIS back then... so much that they just wouldn't let go of it hoping that this time around it will be a smoother experience! I'm kinda worried about the travel thing and not having a valid card - that whole stamp thing... sometimes I don't believe that all the airline staff and immigration officers really know how to handle it. I'll have to start travelling for business a lot again starting in September (perfect timing!) and most of the trips will be outside the US.	thea	Female	Germany	2007-05-30 17:13:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Filed on 05/18/2007	wow, yes that sounds pretty fast. I am wondering how long it will be until you get your biometrics appointment since it's our turn to file soon.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	calling all june 2oo7 filers..	I'd also try to just walk in and get it done. Maybe you'll be lucky and they let you do it! I'm still waiting for my appointment letter and as soon as I have that I will run over to the ASC to try and get in the door. I am amazed at how short the lines at our local ASC have been over the last year. I've been doing an internship in the same building as the ASC so had frequent opportunity to observe people lining up for the biometrics. While before the lines tended to wrap around the building and you never could get any parking, now it's only a handful of people at the most gathering in front of the door and there is plenty of parking available. Probably because they shifted half of Virginia immigrants to be processed via Norfolk.	thea	Female	Germany	2007-06-22 07:08:00
