Hi, I'm posting on behalf of a friend who had the naturalization interview a few days ago. The interview went well except that it was hard to understand the IO because of her accent and low voice. The civics test and written test seems it went well. The N-652 says that the candidate will be...

I just hope we didn't unknowingly provided him help on his naturalization in this forum. That's always in the back of my head, the possibility of unknowingly helping someone intent on harming this country.

Hi, I've found this at immigration-law.com but the information is from uscis. http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/e-verify_passport_4Mar09.pdf It seems that not everything is perfect with E-Verify and people continue to have false non-authorized to work responses from E-Verify...

After a couple of months of no updates, here they are: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/ptimes.jsp

The N-400 form and instructions have just been updated: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=480ccac09aa5d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

Hello, I have thought about asking for my A-file through a FOIPA request (I am assuming a FOIA request would only include public records, the P is for Privacy). However, one thing that has always stopped me is doing the notarized signature. Anyway, I would be curious to hear from people who...

Let's see if there is anyone interested about tracking N-565 applications. For those who don't know, but wish to know, what a N-565 do, it is an application to replace a lost, destroyed or incorrect certificate of naturalization or of citizenship. I just sent an application to replace an...

Hi, I need to send a N-565 form to replace a certificate of citizenship that arrived with a typo. Depending on the State one lives it has to be sent either to Texas or Nebraska service center. In my case it is to Nebraska. However, when I see the processing time for the those service...

I guess one would say it was a good reason. If they really get their act together it seems they won't need it for e-verify, but it should still be a good idea to update the SSA of your new citizenship status within a reasonable time (within weeks or a few months of naturalizing). I waited until...

I don't know if this applies to N-400 but I never thought that ACCO fasteners were needed, advisable. In my case I didn't even staple anything. Anyway, this is the text: "Use paperclips when attaching supporting personal documents to forms (do NOT use “ACCO” fasteners; staples are acceptable...

or should it be the thorn bird song? ;) Statement by USCIS Director Emilio T. Gonzalez on Processing of Naturalization Applications...

http://www.mercurynews.com/breakingnews/ci_8561769 but if he is, that could explain why the immigration process is so dysfunctional :) I forgot that the Mercury News might ask for registration, hopefully this other link doesn't: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,337592,00.html PS: I...

I posted this message on the B visa forum, but I'd like to post it here too as this is the forum I usually post to. I hope you don't mind. I usually don't post in this forum, but I am doing it this time, because I think it is somewhat relevant. We have Amy Winehouse who is "allegedly" a very...

I usually don't post in this forum, but I am doing it this time, because I think it is somewhat relevant. We have Amy Winehouse who is "allegedly" a very notorious drug abuser. She gets her visa to come to the United States denied. So far this is what should be done by the book. The media gets...

Hello, I find myself again in the black hole of USCIS time warp :) I mean, I'm waiting, and probably going to wait for a long time for the output of my child's N-600 application. So, looking for reassurance that the time and money invested is worth the effort I found this old, but still...

Hello, This is something somewhat connected to the social security notification. I am not aware that we need to update the Department of Motor Vehicles when we naturalize. However I seem to remember that a few years ago DMV was tasked with verifying immigration status when issuing driver...

I opened a similar thread on the Life After Citizenship which hasn't received much attention. This is the thread: http://www.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=263899 Please feel free to join this thread, or the thread in the other forum if you're tracking a N-600 application in San...

I hope the title is not misleading and people think it is of interest to this forum. http://www.canada.com/topics/news/story.html?id=75c1f0e6-ac6a-4533-b2e1-9dc4aaf00eda&k=7321 It seems the IRS is clamping down on dual citizens who fail to file tax returns when living abroad.

Probably not very useful for most people in the forum, but perhaps it's useful for somebody we might know or hear of. http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/N648Waiver091807.pdf

Hello, Let me make a little experiment to see if this thread gets any traction here. I sent N-600 through regular mail on August 23d, 2007. I still haven't seen the check being cashed, and it's almost been three weeks. Is anyone here doing N-600 in San Jose? By the way, for those who are not...
