No activity since the initial touch on April 1, 2008. After studying this site and the timelines, it would be naive to expect approval earlier than January 2009. Funny how in March we expected to be approved by September...how things have changed.


My case was transferredto CSC yesterday and I got a touch today...good luck to everyone...

What should I look for now besides the 797 notice? How long is this process? (I'm married to a USA Citizen)

Mexico, Latin & South AmericaLong shot, but i'll ask anyway
What do you have listed as your "Country of Origin" on your greencard? Mine Had France....ok here's the story...St. Martin IS owned by France and used to be considered a "community" of Guadeloupe until they recently pulled away from Guadeloupe and are now directly "governed by FRANCE, (hence, France listed as country of origin)...is this ok or should i be worried or try to "fix It"?

Thanks, I did email them and they said it was an error on their part (they somehow "forgot" to put them in it). They're going to redo it and send me a new one...I was thinking that seemed odd that the kids weren't in it but thought it was something new they were doing...Good thing I caught it LOL...

Just received my Livret de Famille (from the french consulte in NY) and I noticed that it only has my husband & I listed in it and not our children (I have 2, he's father to both)...why is that? is this the new format or will they be sending a seperate book? I'm also waiting for them to return my passport with my name correction (changing my maiden name to my married name) not sure how long that'll take...

I don't have any information to help you but I'm kinda glad that I can finally understand something on this thread. smile.gif I've been kinda afraid that I'm missing something important because every thing has been in french for awhile. I've been asking my fiance to read it and let me know if we're missing something important. Anyhoos, can't help but I'm glad to be finally understanding something smile.gif

LOL I totally agree with you...I haven't had anyone to speak french to in 10yrs so I"m very rusty...but hopefully i'll be able to teach my kids the "little" I do know hehehe

Hi!

I think you are depending on of the New York consulate. Here's the link to all the documents you need to ask for a new passeport :

http://www.consulfra....php?article342

Apparently you need to wait for your EAD or GC!


Merci,

I think I'll wait for my greencard (i'll need it for my interview coming up 12/04) and that way i can to everything all at once: register my marriage, kids and with the cosulat so I can get my Livret de famille...BTW...I'm not renewing just getting my name changed I think that they'll issue you the same expiration date and simply update the last name...Thanks for the link...

Has anyone noticed this posted on the USCIS processing times site?

Service Center Processing Dates for Vermont Service Center as of: July 31, 2008

So they are posting times as of September, but really they are as of July?

I just noticed this.

Just remembered another one! 

 

Name a war that the US fought during the 1900's.

 

I'm just sad I didn't get asked for any politicians names! I'd memorized all the relevant Chicago/IL ones! 

CONGRATS! Hope the ceremony isn't to far away :)

Hi Guys, 
 
So tomorrow is my oath ceremony and I made a mistake filling out the form (N-445, Notice of Naturalization) that I need bring with me filled out. Like an idiot, I did not read the instructions carefully didn't realize that the questions being asked at the back of the form only apply to the timeframe after the interview. So i answered the first two questions yes (have you ever been married, or traveled outside of the US), when they should really be a no. What do I do!? I was thinking of using whiteout, but I am not sure if this is allowed. 
 
Please help!!!




No worries. A few people did that when they returned for my oath ceremony and they just corrected it on the spot. The person in charge noticed that they misread it and didn't make a big deal about it.

 

Just noticed the date for this passed :). but it's here for anyone wondering what the answer was...

:joy:Thank God. This immigration process has finally come to an end. 

 

My interview was scheduled for 12:30pm in Mt. Laurel, NJ (I live about 15 minutes away from it). I left home about 11:55am and arrived at the service center around 12:11pm. By the time I went through the security check and sat down it was 12:15pm. There was about 13 people in the room when I sat down. I was called in at around 12:30ish (don't remember the exact time, the room had no clock and I didn't look at my phone). You were allowed to carry phones in so I put mine on silent as to avoid disruptions. 

 

The officer interviewing me was very friendly. She swore me in and briefly explained what was about to happen. After being sworn in she went over my application line by line asking me if information was correct. Then she asked the yes/no questions and at the end of that had me sign the application.

 

Next step was to read a question, she then dictated the answer and I wrote it down. Following that was the oral civics questions. If my memory serves correct she asked:

 

Who is commander in chief of the military?

What are the two major political parties in the United States?

What is the political party of the president now?

Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?

There were 13 original states. Name three?

Name one state that borders Mexico?

 

Since I got all 6 correct she said I passed and asked if I can come back at 3pm for the oath ceremony today (of course I said yes). She finalized some paper work and handed me a form to bring back with me that just stated the date and time of oath and on the reverse side yes/no questions regarding any changes since interview (you have to sign this when you arrive for oath and turn it in).

 

I returned for Oath at by 2:50pm with my husband and kids (they initially separated us in different rooms). I was asked to hand in my green card and verify the information on the naturalization certificate. There was about 25 people from 20 countries taking the oath. We watch a few videos, swore the oath, said the pledge of allegiance and was given our certificates, They went over how to get a passport and them sent us on our merry way...whole ceremony took about 1 hour.

 

Think that's it lol....best wishes to those still in process!
