yea basically the same concept. I believe you can take your permit, unless your state does thoese paper permit.

US Citizenship General DiscussionInterview Question
I just received yellow paper from USCIS and the subject follows as pre-interview case file review. this says "This is not an interview notice" and states that i need to provide following items, state-issued driver's license and pasport and travel documents. Does this mean I am in line to schedule me for interview, and how do i provide the documents?? Do I take it to the interview or take it to the office where i took my fingerprint? and for the travel documents what are they looking for??? Thank you!!

US Citizenship General DiscussionI am unemployed: can I apply for the fee waiver?
i applied my N-400 with I-912, the process is delayed a bit becaue they have to decide to apporve you or not, and when filling out the form make sure to be detailed and provide for them all the necessary documentation such as tax form.

US Citizenship General DiscussionGreen Card update for Teen?

When we got our green cards in 2004 I stopped thinking about and dealing with INS because I was in no hurry to become a citizen (mostly because I didn't have the money to pay for the applications) and the green cards did not expire until 2014. I stopped thinking about it and went on with life......my daughter was 9 years old in 2004. At no point did I get information or notification that she would need to have her fingerprints done when she turned 14...I found out that information only this year after reading through other immigration posts. We travelled last summer to Canada for a month and used our cards, again, no one said anything to us about her card and fingerprints because her card says valid until 2014. I want to apply for citizenship before she is 18 but once again I cannot afford it....also now she is planning on joining her class in 2012 on a European tour. This is why I have started looking into it again. My plan was for her to travel to Europe with her Canadian passport and return to the US with her Green Card.....now I am wondering if I am setting her up for problems....why did we not have any issues coming into the US last summer with the card??
Sorry...I am just venting because I just can't afford to pay more fees especially since I plan on applying for citizenship a few months before she leaves on her trip...


If I may suggest, you can try the form I-912 fee wavier.

US Citizenship General DiscussionGreen Card update for Teen?

So you're telling me that I have to file the I90 with a fee of $450 ??? Her green card won't expire until 2014, it was issued to her when she was 9 years old and she is now 16 years. Why would I pay another $450 to have her fingerprints done? Is there something I am missing here? There has to be something else.....there better be


Well that is the law and that is what our immigration lawyer told us so my brother and I had to go through it.

Is there any reason why she can't file for citizenship? To my understanding, If her immigrant parent naturilizes, then she becomes a citizen automatically.


Yes, but I do not believe they are citizens.

US Citizenship General DiscussionGreen Card update for Teen?
yes, that is true, when they turn 14 you need to resubmit your I-90 to get his/her fingerprint done. On their current Green card they will not have prints on them, but the law requires when they turn 14 to get fingerprints done. They can submit their I-90 90 days before they turn 14. That is what I had to do few years back and my brother had to do a year ago.

US Citizenship General DiscussionUnder 18 can filed N400
I called USCIS up for this and they said if i didn't provide the selective service number within 30 days of requesting then my case will be dropped and my money will go to waste lol even though i applied with I-912 but w/e so I had to wait lol.
Yong KwonMaleSouth Korea2011-05-15 16:07:00
US Citizenship General DiscussionUnder 18 can filed N400
well i couldn't do that because you have to apply to Selective Service before I can file for the N-400 and that took about month or two. and Selective Service didn't process it until after I turned 18.

All done!! My oath was a 1pm CST today in northern Indiana. There were 48 of us from 20 different countries. Half from Mexico and the rest from the Middle East and Asia. I was the only Swede and the only blonde. lol The judge who presided over the ceremony was wonderful. He kept cracking jokes and was very encouraging and welcoming, He said he loved hosting Naturalization ceremonies. I registered to vote and updated my records with the Social Security Administration. I'm glad I could take care of it there instead of dragging my 2-year-old down to the SSA office here in town. My husband is throwing me a party tomorrow to celebrate with friends and family.

Can someone update me to US citizen, please? I can't get the chart to post correctly.
