Dear friends, I thought I would share this little story of joy with you. As most of you might remember (see signature), I became a U.S. citizen on Friday of last week. Today, I got a letter from DHS, post marked and sent from the Washington, D.C. DO in Fairfax, VA. The letter is dated...

Dear friends, I have a question for all of you who have already gone through the process. If I file I-130 and I-485 simultaneously for my wife how does the spiel work? She is currently in the U.S. on a H1B which will expire 09/30/07. If I file now, here is the processing timeframe I am...

Hi y'all! Which route is faster? Adjustment of Status in the U.S. or opting for Consular Processing? My wife is currently in H1B status here in the U.S., but I would like to file I-130 at some point next month. So I am wondering whether it is faster to have her case processed in...

Hi y'all! What am I supposed to put down on the passport application form where it asks for 'Alien Registration - if applicable'? Do I leave it blank? Enter my certificate number? Do I enter my the A number that is on my green card? Cheers! Legal

Most of you might have already read this, but I thought I would bring it to the attention of those who have not had a chance to read it yet. Fact Sheet April 25, 2006 Immigration Security Checks—How and Why the Process Works Background All applicants for a U.S. immigration benefit...

I was just wondering, by reading many post over the past couple of months, if one can actually not pass the interview; as long as there are not SERIOUS problems with the application itself.. . It seems as if the 'interview' is a mere formality. Or am I wrong? Cheers! ------- N-400 @...

From what I gather, there seems to be some confusion on who checks the N-400 form for the basic legal requirements, such as: form is signed, whether the application was filed prematurely etc. etc. Is this done at the Service Center or the DO? I would assume that basic issues, such as filing...

Looking at USCIS.gov, all the Service Centers posted new processing dates 04/10/06. Nothing for any DO. Hm...maybe the DO personnel is so stressed out, they just decided to take a little nap ;-). Cheers, Legal

Hehehe! Got to love USCIS! As posted, my case had gone offline as of this morning...could not track it all day. Neither by entering the ESC number, nor by clicking on my case from within my USCIS portfolio. Got the the standard message "cannot be found online...". Well, just five minutes ago, it...

Does anybody who applied for a U.S. passport in or after December 2005 gotten one of the new versions yet? I am just curious. I think they look sharp: http://travel.state.gov/passport/eppt/eppt_2498.html Best, Nico

Hi everybody! I got my FP notice in today's mail. Richmond Highway/Alexandria on March 15th. Here is my timeline: N-400 sent: 01/12/2006 N-400 received: 01/17/2006 PD: 01/17/2006 Receipt NOA: 02/14/2006 (received 02/18/2006) FP NOA: 03/01/2006 (received 03/06/2006) FP: 03/15/2006...

Hi y'all! I finally got the receipt notice for my N-400 application. They updated the A number (check my older posts), but sent it to my old address. My case is moving slowly compared to others from NoVa who filed at VSC after me :-( Here is my timeline: N-400 sent: January 11th, 2006...

Hi everybody! I created my timeline below. Here is the latest update regarding my N-400 saga: They received it 01/17/2006, cashed the check on 01/23/2006, requested my A file on 02/02/2006. No receipt notice though. When I spoke to them today, I had the best 1.800 misinformation...

Hi friends! Here is the answer to my VSC issues and no receipt notice! Even though I included a copy of my green card, and wrote my A number VERY clearly on the check, they captured the WRONG A number!!! I checked the copy of my N-400 and I put down the right A number. Well, using my...

Okay, out of curiousity, I entered what looked like my receipt number to me. I got it off of the check they cashed yesterday. Please keep in mind that I sent my application on 01/11/06, processed on 01/23/06. What is up with that: Receipt Number: ESC*XXXXXXXXX Application Type: N400...

Hi y'all! USCIS finally chashed the $400! The check was submitted on 01/24/06 and cleared today. On the check they wrote 1-23-06, so I assume this is my PD, but I will see once I get the official receipt notice and will post the info then. What would the receipt number on the check look...

Hi everybody! I sent my N-400 to the Vermont Service Center (I live in Springfield/VA) on January 10th via USPS Priority Mail. Now, 14 days later, they have not even cashed the check! What is up with that? Anybody any idea? Cheers, Nico
