When I applied for PIO, I sent US as well as Indian passport. They canceled the Indian passport in course of the PIO application. So if you're applying for PIO, just apply and send Indian passport and they will cancel it and send it back alongwith the PIO card. My Indian passport was sent...

Got PIO card last Saturday .. Citizenship application to PIO timeline a little over 5 months. Thanks to everyone for providing useful info about immigration. Goodluck to everyone ...

No notarization required. I sent my kids original passport and my passport copy. and the PIO arrived in 4 weeks.

Applied in Houston as per timeline below (8/10/07). The Money order was cashed on 8/27/07. God only knows when the PIO will come.

1. Do I need to send them original US passports and original expired Indian passports? Can I send certified photo copies instead of originals? Some how original documents are requested in PIO application, where as OCI application can be done with photo copies. Yes, originals have to be sent...

If you go inperson, they should do it the same day. Atleast thats what my friend did in NYC

Thank you everyone for your replies.... My friend is now basking in the glory of his new found citizenship and doesn't want to do anything about the changed name. He has more pressing family immigration matters at hand wherein he cannot wait for the name change. Once these immigration...

I applied expedited/overnight service on 7/25/07... Got it today (8/6/07) :D :D :D

Got passport today Got my passport today .. Less than 2 weeks using expedited/overnight service. :D :D :D Now comes the FINAL headache of waiting for PIO card. It seems to me the PIO card requires more paperwork (in duplicate :) ).

Thank you everybody for the replies .. I believe the USCIS did the right thing too .. The birth certificate should've been corrected long back. However since the H1, GC and SS card had the correct name, my friend thought (wrongly) that the birth certificate shouldnt matter. I told him...

Hello, My friend got his interview done today. But he has a unique predicament now. His naturaliztion certificate has the same name as his birth certificate which has a typo. For example: His last name is Smith, but the birth Certificate has it as Simth. All his documents (passporrt...

PIO is faster as it is a one-part process done in the US. OCI is more like a 3 part process, and it involves a India process too. PIO took 40 days for my kid and OCI will take 3 months minimum. I will take the PIO for my October trip to India and then convert PIO to OCI by paying $25 after I...

Yes, the appointment was at Lavista Rd office. The documents you mentioned seem enough. The Officer asked me for my birth certificate and marriage cert. Good thing I had it with me. She didn't ask me for traffic tickets (although we talked about it), she didn't ask me for selective service...

Its done ... !!! Its done. Passed citizenship exam and took the oath. Entire process took 3 hours. I made a mistake in the last post wherein I mentioned the interview date as 25th. It was actually the 24th. Interview took 15 minutes. Asked basic questions about myself and US...

Go to local Social Security office and obtain a letter that you are ineligible for a SS#. That should be enough for marriage purposes. To go further, you could apply for a Tax ID# using that letter too. That no. could work as well. Your husband/bf will need that tax id # to claim you as...

Hooray.... Got my interview letter today ... Interview scheduled for July 24th at 10.00 AM. Atlanta is really fast ... My case status online still says the usual "We recd. your N400 application on April 6 and we will mail you.......etc." My friend whose FP was 2 days after me got July 31...

Actually no, its not early to expect an interview letter. If you look at other posts in this forum, you can see complete processing times from application to oath for less than 3 and half months. Atlanta DO is considered by many to be one of the fastest in the country.

Anyone got an interview letter lately? Hello, My PD is April 6, 07. FP was completed on 5/15. I haven't heard anything yet. Has anyone else in the same timing recd. an interview letter? dhebi

Fingerprinting done Hello, Just got my FP done 5/15 at the Atlanta ASC. Appointment was at 3PM and it was over by 3.20PM. There were less than 20 people in there. Now the wait begins for the Interview letter. :)

Usually the USCIS doesn't inform SSA that you have changed from GC to citizen. So when the time period for the GC expires, the SSA thinks you have become illegal. It happened to my wife and she had to go get a new card. When she applied for a job, the background check came back saying she was...
