IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Feb2013 filer	This is so frustrating, it has been 10 mos. & 3days of waiting. I have requested to expedite 2 wks ago, they emailed me back saying that my case is undergoing security screening and I just have to wait. Haven't we all waited long enough for that?  I have contacted the ombudsman also, but I have not heard from them either. How long does that security screening being process?  I am a good law abiding, tax payer US citizen and my husband, I would say is of good moral character otherwise I would have not married him, known him for over 30+ years. Anyone here who can relate to me or undergoing "security screening after waiting for 10mos?"   I just read your timeline. You're filed IR-1/CR-1 Spouse Visa. It's different from our case (Fiance(e)/K-1) but your turn is coming. Just wait patiently.	VA-FEB 13 FILER	Not Telling	Vietnam	2013-12-30 18:00:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Visits before the interview	I have visited my fiance' once only, in Vietnam.  I foolishly thought the whole process would take only 3 months.  Of course, over a year later we finally have her interview scheduled.  It will occur on January 17th.  I heard that if you do not visit more than once then the Consular might feel this is not a true love relationship.  Does anyone know if there is merit to this?  And if so, how do you recommend we proceed?  I told my sweetheart just to be honest.  Which is this:  I thought it was going to take only 3 months; I wanted to visit again, but we both thought that with our luck I'd be there and she'd get her interview letter, then I'd have to return again after she got her visa.  I'm not rich and travel is expensive, so we opted for me not to visit.  Another time, when I missed her so much, I told her I wanted to visit her again.  She said come on over, but then I realized I needed to save money for our wedding.  I have just enough for that and another visit to see her and bring her back with me after she gets the visa.  I miss her terribly and hope that my lack of visits won't affect our chances.  Please let me know what you know on this topic.  Thanks!!!   Hello there,   Please do not worried too much from what you heard. Whatever you heard just make you more and more worried and it's not like that at all. Please do not listen to lawyers/immigration agencies. They just want your money. Follow the instructions from forms/packages and you will be fine.   Each case/situation is different. If your love is truly you don't need to worried.   I visited my fiance only once within two years of filing. My fiance passed his interview on 12/23/2013. CO asked why I'm not visit him since I submitted our petition and we need to tell the truth. (Usually is job position and vacation time). CO will undertand the situation why you not visit your fiance more than once since you submitted your petition.   Please bring and show CO ALL your communications: Skype chat logs, Yahoo e-mails, Facebook chat logs, phone bills (show your fiance(e)'s number) and pictures (more pictures are better, we had very few pictures but we have reasons why and CO accepted).   We did not see each other for more than a year now. I understand your feeling. You need to save your money not only for your wedding also for other things when she in US. She can't work until she has EAD which about 2-3 months. A lot of things need money to get done.   Your fiance's interview pass or fail is ALL depend on how your fiance communication/react with CO and your paper work. The communication with CO is very very very important, just remember that. COs are very friendly and just talk to them like you talk to your friends. Don't need to be nervous, scared, ect.   Good Luck! Edited by VA-FEB 13 FILER, 30 December 2013 - 03:59 PM.	VA-FEB 13 FILER	Not Telling	Vietnam	2013-12-30 15:56:00

US Citizenship General Discussion	N-400 March 2014	At the time, I was rushed as I took my lunch break thinking the ceremony wouldn't take long...I kept having to remind myself to live in the moment and enjoy the naturalization ceremony as I would want to remember all the details.   Anything else you want to know ask, I'm happy to help. This website has been a tremendous help to me. I wish I had found it earlier on in the process.   I have an appointment to apply for my passport tomorrow.  Since I had done the research I knew the cost, procedure, etc...so as people were asking and the immigration officer didn't know, I spoke up lol  At the end of the ceremony - when we were milling around taking pictures - he came up to me and told me that I should apply for a job with USCIS. You better believe I've been scoping out government jobs, I've already applied for a few   Anyone who got the passport card, did you think that it was worth it?	chantal356	Not Telling	Trinidad and Tobago	2014-09-25 19:38:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	N-400 March 2014	Thanks! Here is my review, guess I was too excited and forgot to post here for my fellow March filers.   I had my oath ceremony today (9/24/2014) at the Baltimore field office. We were directed to the same waiting room as where we had to wait for the interview. Oath ceremony was scheduled for 2pm, about 2:05pm an immigration officer walked in and directed us to the room. He went thru instructions (turn in your greencard, complete back of form, etc.) Then we all went up to turn in the paperwork. Even though the oath ceremony invitation/letter has a number written on it they didn't go by the numbers, he called us up one row at a time. I was sitting in the front row, yet I was the last one to get my certificate. We saw a video, welcome from the president. Then another officer came in to officiate the oath. We sang the national anthem and recited the pledge of allegiance. Both officers passed out certificates at the end of the ceremony. The room was a good size, it was pretty full. Guests were allowed, someone had a toddler that screamed all the way thru the ceremony, I felt sorry thinking it was a single parent, at the end when we were taking pictures I realized there were 3 adults with this toddler and only 1 of them was naturalized. Needless to say it was difficult to hear the immigration officers over the cries of the toddler. This made our ceremony longer as people kept asking questions that the immigration officer had already reviewed. After the ceremony when we were leaving, this family decided to stop to take pictures outside of the Baltimore office, the toddler is then running up and down the parking lot, a security officer had to come and tell them to get the child out of the street! Try to get there a bit early as the line to go thru security was long as everyone arrived at the same time.	chantal356	Not Telling	Trinidad and Tobago	2014-09-25 19:23:00
