Hello!

First of all congrats to everybody else for everything!!! One by one we are getting this done right? Yesterday I got my Oath Ceremony Appt. It's going to be on June 20! I am so happy about it. Does anybody know if you can have some friends with you there at the Ceremony? Do they allow that?

Hi, I hope you receive your oath letter soon. Have you checked to see if there is any updated info on your case online at the uscis website? I signed up for email updates, so I get emails everytime there is updated info on my case. As far as the naturalization certificate, you must turn it in along with your passport application. There's supposed to be a line for passport applications at the ceremony itself, but you also have the choice of applying for a passport at a post office. If you log on to the usps website you can punch in your zip code to find out the locations and phone numbers of post offices around your area who accept passport applications. In my case, I have two children under three, so I wont be waiting in line to apply and fill out my passport application at the ceremony. I will wait perhaps a week or so, make a couple of copies of my nat certificate, then go to my closest post office in ponce to apply for a passport.

Hi. Yeah I am checking the USCIS Website also and on May 21 they said they put me in line for the Oath Ceremony and I should get a letter once the Ceremony is scheduled. I am going to wait for the Passport myself, first I will change my Driver's License. But I have one question if anybody knows around here, can I laminate the Certificate? Would that be a problem when I will send it to make my Passport ?

Mine was about 6 days after that I could see on the status that it was being processed. It let me put the email in then. not sure if you can before hand I don't remember lol haha sorry =)



 

Original certificate is required to be sent with the passport application.

 

You MUST make a color photocopy of the certificate for yourself to keep before sending it away as you will have no proof that you are a citizen once you mail off the certificate.



Thanks :)

I handed it over may 2nd and just got it back today on the 20th. Didn't pay for expedited service just the regular. 

Hoping the certificate comes this week, MAYBE next week. Iv heard they can be a bit slow to get that back to you.

Hello...I have one question...in order to make my passport I will have to send them The Naturalization Certificate? The original?  I am still waiting for my Oath App but I know that at the end of the Ceremony you can apply there for the passport so in that case...they will give me the Certificate but I cannot even take it home, I'll have to leave it there ? Come on.........:)

Oh thanks so much. I know someone who had his oath in beautiful old san juan, he had a beautiful ceremony there. It would be great if we both had the opportunity to have the oath ceremony on the same day, though I doubt it given the difference in application dates, but it would be nice. Keep us posted when your oath letter date and place arrives.

Beautiful Ceremony in Old SJ? That sounds great!! Hope it will be there! Yeah I'll keep you posted about when and where will be! :)

Congratulations! I noticed you are in Puerto Rico, I am too. I had my fingerprints done this month in Guaynabo and I am in line for interview. Tell me, where was the interview done? was the office crowded? where the ios nice, professional? and did they say when or where are the oaths done? sorry for all the questions, I am very curious since we are in the same state. Congrats again.

Hi. I guess you have never been to an interview before here in PR. It was in San Patricio Office Center in Guaynabo. No it was not crowded but I was the first one so don't know if it got crowded later. The people there are very nice don't worry. The Oath said it's going to be there or in some Court...Federal Court probably...don't know yet and the CO didn't know to tell me either. Good luck.

Hello everybody!!

I had my Interview yesterday and I passed!!!! It was very easy. In 25 min I was out. Yes is true, my CO was talking very very fast but that was no problem for me. She started with the reading and writing part, then the questions and then the Form and some other questions not from the Form like how I met my husband, about my family, where my husband works. Then she told me I passed and asked if I speak Spanish. I said I do and then we started talking in Spanish. And that's it. Now I am waiting for the Oath Ceremony. Let's see how long it will take for that letter to arrive. Good luck to everyone else!

No, only your own. And you can even ask to look at it if you have it with you.

 

 

No you don't need to know your A number.

Hello everyone :) First of all congrats to all the new US citizens!!!! I am happy for all of you and I did read all of your stories!!

I have a question. I understand I need to know my SSN but do I need to know my husband's SSN also? What about my Alien Number, do I need to know that one also ? Thank you so much and good luck to everyone!!

Thank you for your congrats! I know he will be in the waiting area but I was asking about the interview room so now I got my answer. If you Calypso say that sometimes they could ask to meet the USC, that means he cannot go outside for anything, he will have to stay there in the waiting room, that sucks a bit.....
Thank you for your answers and good luck to everyone else!!!!

''On April 5, 2013, your N400, APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION was placed in line for interview scheduling.'' Please someone update my info :)
CorinaNFemaleRomania2013-04-05 15:27:00
US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 February 2013 Filers

This is when your case status on uscis.gov changes to "Placed in line for Interview Scheduling". This will almost always happen after you've completed the biometrics.

Most offices have a queue for interviews, so this usually means the name check has been completed and you're waiting for an interview slot.

Someone can correct me here, since I don't have first-hand experience (yet!) - going off of other forum posts and Google searches

Ok so maybe I will see that on my Case Status soon. Thank you !

Updating my NOA date

I have a question... Is it normal that my NOA for N-400 is not printed on the same USCIS paper as the NOAs for AOS and ROC? The one I received today is just printed on a plain white sheet of paper with a slight blue mark but it has all my case info accurately.


Yes it's ok dont worry, mines were the same :)

I am so angry I choose USPS !! Today, after 24h since I went to the post office and left my package there, my package was still in the city I live :( cuz I have a tracking number and I could see. It's gonna get there next week !! We thought we will save some money since all this process is so expensive but now if I could take my package back I would pay 200 $ just to send it with FEDEX.

any one who speaks fluent spanish can translate it. They need to certify it is a correct translation. Doesn't need to be anyone special.

I am going to ask you another question !! Later please send me a bill ok ? Bcuz this should not be for free !! hehe
In my case, if I need to translate a document from Spanish to English, the translator needs to be certified by the Federal Court ? It was very difficult to find one here but he asked me that. Maybe someone knows.....

From knowledge, I would recommend you print the bank statements of every 3months that way you won't be sending not just plenty but meaningful. You should make sure they cover the period from you and your spouse living together and yes write them on top using a pen if possible but more important, a cover letter with the number ontop. Also remember to include your tax transcripts among others.





We sent the taxes already. The problem were 3 documents in Spanish that we have to ask for them in English, which we already did, and the proof that we live together bcuz we didn't send any document saying that. And it should be enough. They consider strong evidence if you have kids together or you bought a house together. Well, not everybody can have those things so fast or maybe they will never have them right ? I just think sometimes they are not fair....anyway thank you so much for your answer, you make our life easier sometimes and God Bless you for that !
CorinaNFemaleRomania2012-12-27 05:54:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751 April 2012 filers

I would include it on all the documents you will be sending. It doesn't hurt, rather be on the safe side. Goodluck.




Thanks ! I already printed some bank account statements and they are many, should I print them again or just to write with a pen huh ?What do you think ?

Hi :)
I have a question to see if anyone can help me a bit. On the last page on the RFE it says ''include your A file number on all corespondence''. What does that mean ?That on each page of evidence that I send I should put that number ? Each and everyone ? Or just on the cover letter ?
