Hi, My wife submitted her N400 application over a month ago to Vermont Service Center. There has been no "Notice of Action" nor has the check been cashed. Any idean if there is a general delay. Or should I be checking with them to see if it has been lost? Thanks.

Hi all, I recently obtained my citizenship as evident from my recent postings. We are presently preparing my wife's application. My understanding is that since I have not been a citizen for 3 years yet, her application has to be free standing - that is based on her 5plus years of stay as a...

Thanks for all the wishes. I will try to answer all the questions in one go: They did not ask me for any extra documents (tax returns, driving records, etc.). Mine was a somewhat straight forward case based on 5plus years of stay in the U.S. after green card. So some of the other documents...

Hi, Here is a summary of my recent citizenship interview experience. My interview was scheduled for around 8.30 A.M. I got there at about 7.35 A.M. (Newark, NJ). There is parking available close by (think it is McKinney or Walnut street). There were about 10 people ahead of me in the line...

Thanks, JoeF

For the citizenship interview, do we need to notarize any copies (of green card, passport, notices, driver's license etc.). If not, when is there a need for notarization? I have my interview the day after tomorrow. Any body who has been through the process, please reply. Thanks.

Hi all, For the citizenship interview, do we need to NOTARIZE all copies? I mean copies of the documents, the originals of which we also take (i.e., green card, driver's license, passport, INS notices, etc.) How about additional things such as tax returns etc. - do the copies of them need...

Sashka, I believe there were cases like this in December. Haven't heard anyone recently. What is your interview center and your timeline? Thanks.

Ramakrish, What is your interview center? Thanks

I agree with menael

I have read from interview experiences that one of the things the INS interviewer does is go over the details of one's N400 to see if anything has changed since the time of application. In my case, one thing that has changed is that I have been laid off. As I stated elsewhere, I am presently...

Thanks Muddy. I am hoping your example holds hope for me. My interview is on Feb.6. I know that I am not required to register with SSS (got my green card when I was 31). Nontheless, based on JoeF's suggestion, I am hoping to get a backup letter from SSS as well. Based on your experience...

Desikuda, Did you have to register with selective services? (Were you an immigrant between 18 and 26) If not, did you need a letter on selective services eventhough it might have been evident from your green card etc., you need not have registered with them? Did INS ask for it during the...

Thanks, JoeF. I will send my request to SSS and see what happens. I guess there is no harm in seeking backup. Except that a request to SSS should not be taken as a "pending" matter at the time of the interview with the INS. Desikuda or some one else who recently went through the...
