oldahmed check this website below for April 12 naturalization ceremony for over 200 new Americans will preceede the concert at the Lincoln Memorial

http://www.abrahamli...es-4-12-09.aspx

I surfed around the net and found that a member called manty posted a website about April 12 naturalization ceremony " i think this is the special ceremony that IO told you about oldahmed" Also i based it on the information below froma the member called manty which i believe this info is correct :


The following email might be useful - I was forwarded it by a friend:

"The Washington District Office advises that for at least the next several weeks it will be reducing the number of daily N-400 naturalization oath ceremonies conducted at USCIS Fairfax in anticipation of special ceremonies involving larger groups to be held at the Lincoln Memorial on April 12, and at the new Capitol Visitor Center on an as yet unspecified date. Regular daily ceremonies will continue to be conducted from time to time, although beneficiaries of approved N-400 applications may not be provided a date and time for their oath ceremony upon completion of their interview. USCIS Fairfax will continue to provide same-day oath ceremonies in special circumstances where N-400 applicants demonstrate reasonable need, and will be flexible in consideration of these cases. They will also continue to perform same day administrative ceremonies for Sec. 319(cool.gif cases, where the applicant resides abroad."


Any updates kookoo? I still didn't hear anything from them. Please, keep me posted.

Just too let everyone know my wife's oath ceremony went fine. Yesterday. She is DONE!!!!


Congratulations.
You're from CZ, do you have any information about how smooth the US embassy in Prague is treating fiancee visas?


I cannot really comment on fiancee Visas. My wife and I have been married for 11 years and we got married in Prague. So she got her green immigration paperwork done before we even left. Sorry I could not be of any help.


Ohh! Thank you for your reply.

Hi @ oldahmed,

This is my first time to join the forum and i think i have the same time line as you @ oldahmed.
I had my Interview on 2/4/2009 at 1pm Fairfax VA and was approved kicking.gif (passed all the tests) and was told to wait for oath letter 2- 4 weeks in the mail. It has been nearly 3 weeks now. Please @ oldahmed if you get the oath letter and date let me know i'm getting very nervous.

On top of all this i had an old (10 year old DUI, i was not convicted and never saw a judge or anything of that matter) I had my lawyer with me in the interview and i didn't have much to present in the interview for the DUI because it was 10 years old i could not get a deposition from court because my record does not exist and DMV record is clean.

The IO said everything looks great Congratulations and you will take the oath in 2-4 weeks and he also said that he does not need any papers or certified docs. from court, police or DMV for the DUI. I only gave the IO what was left from 10 years ago which was the DUI arrest doc. and court date slip and the district attorney clerk receipt that i was given when i showed up in court. So i have no charges for the DUI, never saw a judge and i paid only $100 fine at the DMV for my license to be reinstated since it was only valid and restricted for 30 days after my arrest 10 years ago. My lawyer keeps telling me to just wait and you will get the oath soon.

I would greatly appreciate anyone's help or experience good luck everyone and i wish you all the best helpsmilie.gif .

I don't think that your DUI will cause any problem since the IO approved your application.
keep me informed about your situation please.








Hi oldahmed, thanks for the reply smile.gif
Do you know anyone in the same DO FairfaxVA-Washington D.C . I have been looking at the forums and everyone that took the interview on or after Feb 4th 2009 was told to wait 2-4 weeks for the oath in the mail. During my interview the IO said that he does not know the schedule for the oath ceremony and he can't really give me a date but to wait for it to be mailed.


No, I don't know anybody else who had his interview the same day. I think we just have to wait.

@ oldahmed

It's been two weeks since your interview. Did you receive an oath letter yet?


No. Not yet. I'm getting nervous. I know all the people who passed the test at that same time were told to wait for an oath letter, but still I won't relax until I get my certificate in hand. unsure.gif
Thank you for asking Stella.

They requested the latest Bank info, latest pay stubs, or latest bills or updated info of the items you sent with the N400 if available, we only took a copy of the items we sent with the N400 application, the interview was requested latest bank statements, asked if she pays taxes, overall it was a very friendly interview, more like chit chat. The interview mentioned it's a big plus your husband is with you it validates the petition since it's based on Marriage.

Even though we selected the old test interview format, my wife got the interview under the new format, but it wasn't a big deal. Asked who discovery american and to write down Chrisptopher Columbus.


People who applied from October and on don't have the choice between the old and new test. They have to take the new test.

Most applicants reported that their applications have been transfered to the NBC, mine included. I don't know why.

Welcome Ahmed!



THank you Thomas.

"November 3, 2008 - NOA1 (I-797C stating case has been transferred to NBC and will get interview date within 450 days)". 450???? Why 450?


That's what most of us got. 450 days. Judging from earlier filers, it should not be nearly that long. Most of June and July's filers are receiving interview letters. Still, it really depends on your local office how quickly it will come.

A bit scary, but I guess they are just covering their a's.



My NOA says that my application has been transferred to the NBC, and that I should expect to be notified within 90 days.
Two friends of mine filled in June, they already got their citizenship a month ago.

Welcome Feyser! Sorry about the delay. We are hoping this small little group zooms through!



By the way, we are filing from overseas, so our fingerprint cards were done at the US embassy and sent with my wife's N-400. That's why I put those xx's for biometrics!!

US Citizenship General Discussioncitizenship test&interview today!

hello.
are you from Czech republic also???
if you get your u.s citizenship while married to a U.S citizen you get to keep your czech citizenship. so you are gonna have czech and u.s citizenship. if you get your u.s citizenship and you are not married to a u.s citizen at that time, unfortunatelly you will lose your czech citizenship. at least that is what i was told by the czech embassy in washington d.c.


Thank you for your quick response. I'm not from CZ, but my fiancee is, and she was wondering about that citizenship issue.
Thanks again and take pictures at your Citizenship ceremony :thumbs:

Thank you all. From reading your input, it seems like we are going to have the Oath Ceremony at 2PM because our interview time is at 9AM.

CanadaTrip to DC..
Best way to get around here is metro and buses . We also have Circulator buses that cost a dollar. The circulator has routes that go to southwest waterfront to chinatown convention ctr, convention ctr to georgetown, navy yard to union station. And another route I'm sure I'm forgetting. Baracks Row in SE DC is basically a strip full of restaraunts. Best way to get there is take the metro (Green Line) to Navy Yard and the circulator stop is right there :) as for that big greasy breakfast he can go to Ted's, located right in that same area.
