US Citizenship General DiscussionGuests dress code and time of arrival for Oath ceremony

Hi everyone,

 

My oath ceremony is coming soon and I have a question about the dress code for the GUESTS. I know they says no jeans, shorts or flip flops for the citizen to be but I can't find anything about the guests dress code. I live in San Diego, CA so the usual casual wear often includes shorts and flip flops; is this acceptable for the guests to wear these at the ceremony?

My second question is related to the time at which the guests should be there. I read somewhere that the actual ceremony usually starts at 10:00am but they ask me to be there at 08:00am. Can my guest arrive at 10:00am? Do they let people in even if the ceremony has already started?

 

Any input appreciated.

 

Thanks

US Citizenship General DiscussionJury duty summons while waiting for oath ceremony!

I called today the number on the letter and spoke to a real person. Basically they said that even though I would become a citizen later, at this date I am not a citizen and therefore not eligible. So i returned the letter stating I was not eligible. Better wait for the next letter rather than being accused of false claim to US citizenship. Thanks to all, your advice was very good indeed.

US Citizenship General DiscussionJury duty summons while waiting for oath ceremony!

It says on the letter that they use voter registration OR DMV database to select potential jurors. Since I have a driver's license, my selection must have come from the DVM database.

 

 

I am trying to figure out how you got selected as they typically use the voter registration in your county to select potential juries.  If you are really interested I would responsed that as of 08/25/2014 your are not eligible but as of 08/27/2014 you should be eligible as you will be come a USC and are interested in serving on the jury.  Then see what they do.  I would state very clearly that you are not yet a USC, but SHOULD be one by 08/27/2014.

 

Good luck,

 

Dave

US Citizenship General DiscussionJury duty summons while waiting for oath ceremony!

No, it's the opposite, it would be a no brainer if I didn't want to go, I'd just send back the letter saying not eligible. In France we only have jurys for exceptionnal trials that make their way to the top courts. That difference makes me interested in the judicial process here and would like to attend at least once to see how it goes.

So let me rephrase my original question: Am I allowed to just wait or do I have to respond back saying not eligible?

They have aphone number on the letter that I will call and get their feeling about it but I wondered if people here already had to deal with a similar situation.

 

 

As the french say, pourquoi Chercher midi à quatorze heures !!
my understanding is you do not want to be part of that jury thing,right!! and as of now, you are not a us citizen yet ...So your answer to them is clear: NoT A us citizen.

US Citizenship General DiscussionJury duty summons while waiting for oath ceremony!

Hello to all,

 

first and foremost, I am not sure if this is the right forum for this topic, so if it not in the right place and you are a moderator, please move this topic to the correct place.

 

After researching the forums for a similar issue, I couldn't find anything so here is the situation:

 

       - My situation: I am an LPR. I had my naturalization interview on 07/07/2014 and it was approved. I received my appointment letter for the Oath ceremony for 08/27/2014. So I am NOT a US   citizen yet.

       - What the jury summons says: "report on 09/09/2014"

 

I see 2 ways of looking at the situation:

 

1) If everything goes according to plan, I will be a US citizen on 09/09/2014 and therefore should report for jury duty.

2) As of the day I received the letter (08/15/2014), I am not a US citizen and therefore disqualified from performing jury duty.

 

The letter states that I have 10 days to respond if not qualified. Should I send the letter back saying I don't qualify since I won't be a US citizen within the 10 day window or should I just wait and report on 09/09/2014. The problem I see with waiting is if something happens (cannot attend oath ceremony for instance, or ...) and I don't become a US citizen on 08/27/2014, then it is too late to send the letter back.

 

Any advise welcome

US Citizenship General DiscussionConditional resident card

Wife was just told at her interview, she would receive the oath letter, we received the standard N-445 form. Among other things like bring this form to your oat ceremony, it said to bring your permanent resident card, never specified which one, but we assumed her current one.


My oath ceremony letter doesn't mention anything about having to turn in my conditional green card either; it was the officer at the interview that told me I would have to give it back to USCIS.

US Citizenship General DiscussionName change question

Ah, but you don't need a lawyer. The name-change petition is a simple two-page form, you pay the court clerk the fee, and you are set.


In San Diego County the court clerk fee for name change is $ 390.. :wacko: I think I'll change my name during the Naturalization process, even if I have to wait a little longer.

My SS Card was updated when I became a Permanent Resident and no longer shows the restriction on it. Will I still need to update again when I'll become a citizen, just so the SSA knows about it for the purpose of US Citizenship benefits or should I leave as is?
