The IO that interviewed me was real nice, he even shared a immigration joke with me.

The questions that is was asked are:
  • Name 1 State that borders Canada
  • When was the constitution written?
  • What is the Ocean on the east of the USA?
  • What is freedom of religion?
  • WHen are you required to register with the slective service?

US Citizenship General DiscussionHad interview today

I had my N-400 interview today and i passed the civic, writing and reading test. I now have my oath ceremony on April 21st. I notice today that everyone who did their interview today got April 21st for the oath ceremony.


  • Parking
It is important to note that there is no parting at the federal building but there is a paid parking 1 block away and the best this it is cheap to park there. The rate is $1.50 per 45minutes.

  • Seating
The building was just about 30 -40% filled with people.


The interview took about 15 minutes.

US Citizenship General DiscussionTook my oath yesterday
I took my oath yesterday in Worcester, MA. There were 750 people in attendance to take the oath including 168 people for name change. The wait was long but the ceremony was quick and seamless.

I am so glad the immigration process is over for the most part. Now is time for me to apply for a passport and have the SSN office update my status.

US Citizenship General Discussionlost green card
A friend of mine lost his green card about 3 years ago and didn't replace it since then, he just has a police record of his wallet been stolen. However, he nows want to apply for US citizenship because he has been a resident for over ten years. does he need to re-apply for the green card before he can apply for citizenship?

US Citizenship General DiscussionCitizenship for child
I petitioned for my 6 years old child in Jamaica and she rec'd immigrant visa to come to the USA. The package given to her mom states that I should pay $165 to uscis, which I did. My question/concern is I paid the $165 but this is for a green card, I thought that me being a naturalized citizen she wouldn't need green card, I assumed she would derived citizenship through me. Am I missing something???

yes, carry the extention letter along with your expired GC when you travel


I feel a bit nervous traveling with my expired gc and this entension letter. I fear that when i try to re-enter the USA the immigration may give me a hard time

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionCan i travel now?
I submitted my paperwork in October of 2008 to have my condition removed from my Green Card and i rec'd a letter from USCIS stating that my status as been extended for 12 months until they process my paperwork and issue the new card. Since then i have done the biometrics. Now i am wondering if it would be ok for me to travel oversea with this letter showing that my status is extended.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussiontransferred to CSC
QUOTE (aidan80 @ Mar 11 2009, 04:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I hope it's a good thing, we too got transferred on 10th March. They got our file in early Oct 2008 been through the biometrics and all that. I'm hoping for a faster turn around. I'm wondering too if all this moving around is due to changes in the government? Are they shuffling things around from the top down throughout all the federal agencies to bring it into line with new policy?

Just a thought! tongue.gif

Thank you guys for the feedback

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionInterview to remove condition status from GC
I had my conditional status removed from my green card last year. I got new GC without doing any interviews. All i did was complete the form and submit the required documents and did the biometrics.

However, my reason for posting is to find out if anyone who recently had there condition status remove had to do an interview? If yes how was the interview?

Go to www.dhl.com and try to track the package by reference. You can use various references for tracking.

"expedite NIV section", and "I-730" or "expedite IV section". Then enter the date it was shipped from NVC

Good Luck,

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI got package from embassy
Good day friends. I just wanted to let you guys know that I have received a package from the embassy in Kingston yesterday I’m very excited to have received this package in such a short time. However, I have a concern with this package. This is my concern: I’ve always thought that the K1 Visa is a non-immigrant visa so why is it that I’m told in the package sent from the Kingston embassy to fill out a form titled “APPLICATION FOR IMMIGRANT VISA AND ALIEN REGISTRATION” (DS-230 part 1) and after I submit this form what should I expect next?

Kingston hasn't updated a lot of its forms in the packet. When we got the packet we found quite a bit of conflicting information. We used full frontal pics and we got through just fine with them. Good Luck! :star:


hey Jme3584, i realized that you are a jamaican thanks for the information, When you submitted your DS-230 Did you handed it in or did you mailed it in because everyine i asked said they delievered it by hand but i maild mine yesterady because i live all the way in trelawny

yeah i saw that flyer before but i was reading through the package i got from the embassy here in kingston and for the most part they said they use the full frontal view photograph but wen i went further in the package i saw where they stated that for immigrant visa i should have a "3/4 frontal view with the right ear clearly visible"

Nope. Not unless you wait and honeymoon until after the foreign spouse receives travel approval (aka advanced parole).

so does that mean we can go to US territories suc as US virgin islands and peurto rico?
