Hello All, My daughter is scheduled for fingerprinting on March 25 at Philly office. She has other important appointment at the same time. Is it better to rescheduled this appoitment and get the fingerprinting done or we should reschedule the fingerprinting appointment? I have heard that...

There is no point in involving the Congressman for FP matter. What you can do is to call your District Office and ask to talk to a person who handles scheduling of FPs. Request them to issue another FP notice.

emote, Congratulations!! You have waited long........no specific advice for oath......just enjoy the moment.

You can answer (check either 'yes' or 'no') the questions earlier if you want......just date it on the oath day. If any answer is 'yes', be prepared to provide details.........this is not a big deal, but it is better to be ready. Good luck!

Yes, you can take a small stroller on the flight............comes very handy on the airport........but is not of much use in India, especially if walking in rush hour.

Thank you and all the best!

Hello All, Finally I took oath on December 1, 2004 and became an US citizen. There were 75 people from 43 countries to take oath at the Philly DO. The proceedings started at 2 PM.........first they called everyone in groups of four, took away our green cards and the oath letter (the officer...

OC forms Hello, Can someone please clarify which forms are to be filled out of the 4 forms available on this forum? Thanks

Rahul Kumar, Congratulations on your marriage :) ..........I see that you are already visiting this forum. Finally I received oath letter last Friday :D :D :D ..........I am ecstatic and would like to thank everyone on this forum, especially you for invaluable help and support. I will...

I did not notarize the form. On this forum there is a pdf file generated by Rahul Kumar.........there is a template available in that document....I used that. The letter was faxed to them on August 2, 2004. They never received the original letter. The FBI responded via a letter dated August 3...

PRUSA, You don't have to pay anything for refingerprinting and the letter is sent by the local DO.

The last time I checked my status online was about 8 days ago........the message was same........."status of your case is not available".

emote, I have been through similar experience so I can understand your anguish. You can call Philly office at 215-656-7176 after 2:15 PM and ask for Ms Taylor. Talk to her nicely and request her to schedule you for oath. If there are any pressing reasons, you can present those to her also...

b2831, Thanks. FBI checks same databases for FOIPA and name check. It is good that you have got "no records" on FOIPA.........this will push them to clear your name check also. Have you formally made an inquiry about your name check status with FBI? If not, you need to do that (see Rahul...

Thanks Harish. There was no particular reason for the delay.........it was purely inefficiency in my opinion. I was calling them for almost 6 months, but was not getting any answers. Then I found this forum and understood the problem.............I just followed the advice given on this forum...

Hello All, Finally I received oath letter today..........I am ecstatic and would like to thank everyone on this forum, especially Rahul kumar for invaluable help and support. I will take the oath on December 1, 2004. :) :) :) There is a question on the back of the letter "Have you been...

Emote, I got a letter from USCIS saying that my oath request has been granted in response to my letter. This was confirmed by my congressmans office also. What it means that all formalities have been completed prior to oath. I have been calling my district office regularly and was told that...

tislam, This means that you will shortly join the line for oath scheduling. The FP results come back within 2-3 days...........but give them 2 weeks. I am also waiting for oath scheduling (was refingerprinted on 10/12/04) and it's a long wait. Good luck!

Choyty, It is unfortunate that congressman/senator route is not working for you. However, don't give up.........You can try to fax letters to the District Director or call them, talk to an officer and explain them your situation. I have done this quite successfully and got responses from...

Choyty, I am asumming that you are waiting for the name check clearance, right? Generally CIS will not make any attempt to FP you again until your name check is cleared. You need to find out what is holding up your case and act on it proactively. I was also in a similar situation so I can...
