I am not sure what purpose changing your social security card serves. It does removed the notation "Valid for work only with INS authorization". For me that was enought to want the change. Yes it is certainly true you can get a same or next day passport, however that has additional charges...

I kept all mine, but that is just me. I have everything from my original H1-B, EAD's, AP's, Green card and N400 organized into several binders. That was fun for me, but I understand they have little practical value. I also have every single document scanned as well. I will tell you that it...

Apply for new social security card before you apply for your passport. It was strongly suggested to me at my naturalization ceremony to do both the passport and social security change ASAP after citizenship. From a practical perspective you will want to do the social security change before...

PP Book received today

I lodged my application 9/1. I am getting the following message now. Your passport application is in the final processing stages. Your passport application locator number is 3xxxxxxxxxx. When you applied, you requested Routine Service. This means you should receive your passport on...

Just to let you know my experience. My wife had 1 ticket and I had 2. Her interview was about a week before mine. To prepare for hers I obtained her DMV records which showed the fine. The IO said that she needed the court information, but passed her anyway. For mine I went to each court (2...

Just remember that the full signature is the one like you signed on your photograph and not nessesarily what you would sign on a check. They have to be able to read and understand the signature. I had to sign my form again.

The long and winding road to citizenship ended for my wife an I in Bismarck ND. The ceremony was scheduled for a 10AM start. The first hour consisted of check in (green card hand in an a review of the N-455 form) and administration. The ceremony proper started at 11 promptly, they showed a...

There is a process to allow someone to undertake a modified oath, you would need to review the Field Adjudicators Manual for details sections 75.1 and 74.2 Part 8 http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?dockey=724ce55f1a60168e48ce159d286150e2

So far nothing, but I am hopeful it will be in the next couple of weeks. Juillet please lets stay in touch we are the only two ND folks around here I expect.

My guess is that worst case the OP has lost their original application fee and will need to apply again, assuming they still meet the criteria. They should be perpared however to have a clear explaination as to why their last application was abandoned, it is likely to come up.

I am based in Fargo ND, and from what I was told at my interview I expect to be included in the August 28th Oath ceremony in Bismarck ND. My interview was 5/26 and I have yet to see a letter confirming the oath date. How far in advance would they send this. My interview notice came out about...

I think the 45 days might be something to do with this. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/12/24/AR2008122402098.html...

It was my turn in the barrel today in Fargo and I relieved to say I passed. :) This seemed to be a very standard interview, raised hand, promised to tell the truth, then we reviewed my N400. The IO was very nice and professional and was the same one who interviewed my wife 2 weeks ago (she...
