I am not sure thats true As far as I know when you become a citizen you are a citizen. There are no A# for you. When I applied for my passport after becoming citizen, I didnt mark anything in that box and I got my passport just fine.

Got mine in 9 days I guess it all depends where you are and what region. I finally went to update my records after a year of becoming USC and received a new card in 9 days. I originally got my card in Jan 1992 when I was on F1 visa (without any restriction on the card), became USC on April 22...

Need original Signature on DS 230 When they sent the DS-230 for my parents in Bangladesh, it got lost in the mail. I called NVC to find out if my parents could use a downloaded copy or not or if I could fax them the form that NVC sent me and they can sign and fax it back to me for submission to...

Didnt talk to any customs officer in IAD When I flew back thru IAD last Nov, I didn’t even talk t a customs officer. The Border patrol person who looked at my passport also collected my customs form. Asked me how long I was out of the country and what countries I have been to. Then said welcome...

They had FP on the first int When they had their interview on Mar 5th, people at the embassy took electronic FP of the thumb and index finger for both of my parents. After that they were told to return on Mar 14th with the fee for fingerprint and at that time they took my dad's fp again and...

Parents waiting for Visa approval in Bangladesh My parents had their interview on March 5th and 14th. They were told the embassy will contact them as soon as their security checks are clear (I am assuming FP) and was told will take about 6-8 weeks. My mom already has a SSN from when she...

Sent all forms in same envelop Thanks for your reply. Yes, would have been nice if they requested to bring the $85 during initial interview and started the background check that day. Apparently they are doing that for every applicant and they are taking 10 fingerprint from the male applicants...

Were you born in UK? You said your father is an American, was he USC at the time of your birth? If so arent you a USC because one of your parents is USC? I could be wrong though. Just a thought.

Wait 4-6 weeks for background check Well, my parents went back on the 14th with the $85 as advised. The embassy gave them a receipt for the money, took finger print of my dad (all 10 fingers this time using ink and paper). Told them it will take about 4-6 weeks to get the security clearance and...
