My 10-year green card is set to expire this year, so I applied to renew it back in February. I received notice to show up for fingerprinting at the USCIS office in Ralgith, North Carolina. They scheduled me for the first week of March. I showed up that day several hours earlier, but the...

I was helping my aunt e-file the I-90 to renew her 10-year green card. The card will expire in 5 months. Everything went smoothly and we reviewed the forms a couple of times to make sure there were no mistakes. After submitting the form and the $450 using a credit card, we received a receipt...

that's the advantage of having been born in the USA... I remember during my naturalization interview, I was asked to name some of the benefits of becoming a citizen. Right to vote and travel on US passports were some of the correct answers. (but I guess the "right of not to be deported"...

$200? That's a lot of halibut! :( If I live in New Jersey, I'll just ask the feds to pay for my name change, after I testify aginst the Sopranos family. my county's district court only charged me $38.... For the $200 that NJ charges, I can change my name 5 times! :D :D :D so I...

here's a thought... how would George Washington answer this N-400 question if he had to apply for US citizenship? :) "Q: Have you ever advocated (either directly or indirectly) the overthrow of any government?"

does this affect people who have dual US and Cuban citizenships? or does Cuba not allow this?

Taiwan is modern than some countries, but still not fully developed in all aspects. It's pretty much down there in the lower rankings with countries such as India, Pakistan, Zimbabwe, and even Haiti.

The US govt has access to the passenger manifest of all flights flying over US airspace. Flights from Canada to Cuba will have to fly in US airspace most of the time. Since such flights are international, you're nationality is identified on the manifest. If the US govt sees a US...

but didn't that apply to people who have not yet immigrated to the USA? (not those who have already immigrated and living inside the USA):confused:

in my case, the interviewing office asked me: "you sure you want to request a name change now? if you do, you won't take your oath for another 5 weeks. if you don't, we'll schedule you for oath ceremony right here in this office this afternoon at 2:00PM..." (her exact words, as best as I...

a naturalization certificate, when accompanied by an official name-chage order from a judge, is just as good. At least that's what the US State Department Passport Agency agent told me when I applied for my first US passport in person after the name change. :) same thing with the...

contact your local city/county courthouse to find out how much and how long the name change process is. this is how I did it. after I became a United States citizen, I went to my local courthouse and petitioned for a name change.(first name only) The fee was only $39 and all I had to do...

(I am posting this for a "friend" who wishes to remain anonymous) I was originally from Taiwan. I have been living in the USA after getting my greencard 7 years ago. In 2002, during a two-week visit back to Taiwan, I attended my old high school reunion. My high school girlfriend was also...

I can't even begin to imagine how much delay this will cause for permanant residents who cross the US/Canada border on a daily basis. My cousin(greencard holder) and his wife(natural-born US citizen) cross the border twice a day. They live in Detroit, but both work in Windsor, Ontario.

no worries......... I am willing to bet that pretty soon U.S. citizens will become part of the fingerprinting process. here's something I've been wondering... will they attempt to match the fingerprint with the fingerprint on your greencard? I'm now a citizen, so my passport contains...

I guess bad guys who use fake/forged US greencards will now have to use fake/forged US passports to gain entry..... :( I don't actually object to the fingerprinting process.... but EVERYONE should be fingerprinted.... (foreigners, greencard holders, citizens, etc)

on 1/18 all greencard holder must be fingerprinted when returning to the US, nobody objects to this? The DHS has already made this official. of course, there are exceptions.... if you're a Canadian short-term visitor, you don't need to get fingerprinted.... but if you're a Canadian...
