Obviously, the whole discussion is now more on speculation and reached analysis-paralysis stage. There is always a human side to a case adjudication... if the applicant decided to appeal and is able to convince the judge that the question was not understood by the applicant, there is a...

In Seattle they have Passport agents at oath ceremony? I dont think that they had any passport agents when I was doing mine because the Oath conducting Director asked as to go to a local post office or Seattle Downtown regional passport office to get the passport completed. To answer your...

Thats not necessarily true. If you have the ticket, the clerks can manually enter the ticket info and receive the fine from you. They dont have any objections taking your money,,:) They did take my fine though it was not in the system and the clerk manually entered the info before the officer...

During the interivew of my spouse, she was asked to produce name change order as she requested a name change in her N400. The IO said, he would've accepted it and the naturalization certificate wouldve had the new name. However, we didnt know that that was an option and went ahead and did the...

This is very surprising.. Including myself, my wife-who applied few weeks after me and some other acquaintances,,all received their oath letter as soon as their interview was over... Was there any reason you were told that you cant get the oath letter immediately? As suggested by BobbySmith...

Even in US, some senators did get harrassed by the TSA with secondary inspections. So, its not uncommon. To think that everyone would know who Shahrukh Khan is, is just insane. Many never heard his name.. I mean he is not Amitabh Bachcah or some one ( kidding). In a way, he brought forward...

As a LPR, you have to keep a valid Passport irrespective. Some IOs will ask for your passports to validate your travel dates. Its a very common practice.Whether you like it or not, you have to have your passport with you all the time unless you are a Citizen of that country. However, you can...

Dont get confused. Yes, you can travel between interview and oath. Just that you have to bring your passport again when you come back for oath for verification of the travel. However, after the oath, you wont have your Green Card anymore and you will need to apply for a passport to travel...

It doesnt matter what you have on your Green Card, they will go by the Birth Certificate name that you presented during the Green Card process. Atleast, thats what I was told, so My Naturalization Certificate has my name that I had on my Birth Certificate not what I had on my Green Card...

Yes, I became a citizen in 4 months thats because Seattle process the applications faster. Dallas/Houston is even faster,, within 3 months. Perhaps, you can move to those states where the IOs are a bit laxed...:) kidding. Nevertheless, as you see you will find different opinions from the...

There is only one option: Get a lawyer. I doubt that they will start to deport you because there are many rejections of citizenships and I dont think they start to sift through thos denied applications for deportation process. Even if they did or didnt, you have to get expert's opinion than the...

In a way its debatable... Now that few states started teh Enhanced Drivers License which is only available for Citizens and has RFID embedded in it,, why do I need a separate card? Might as well just get the EID instead and pay less. I didnt go for the passport card as I thought I have it for my...

At Oath..

Congrats ORF757,, Yes they did the same thing to me, wrote down the violation ( speeding over 4 miles!!). Once you do have the passport, Social Security, as a Voter is the next big thing. For others, like me, we have to re-apply for citizeship for my homeland, apply for OCI/OCP, etc.

If this is for a serious illness issue,, u can try the TLF or TLP, I suppose.

Ofcourse, it all depends on whats the purpose. If it is for informal purpose, then your nick name ( traditionally everyone has an undocumented name in the Indian Sub-continent) can be your first name or your last name. In WA state, the law is pretty simple, fill out the forms, go to the...

Well, I dont think you can have a name change in US without a court order. I mean you can put a name in the Social Security Card but thats about it. No other institutions will change your name without a formal legal document as the court order. For the court ( as I have gone through this last...

I reported it. Showed the receipt. They called the supervisor and I was okay to take the oath.... I just didnt want to start an oath ceremoney with a lie. Not a big deal but...

Actually nothing other than that the oath letter and Green Card. They will keep both of them and give you a nice american flag, constitution and the declaration of independence book... No need to bring anything other than documents of changed status/situaiton if you have them. For me, I got a...

Well,, you know the canadian borders are funky, outdated and sometimes miserable. I was a Permanent Resident of Canada 10 years back. However, I travelled back and forth with my US PR without any issue. However, when I renounced my Canadian PR, I started to have problems, being stopped at the...
