Hi All,
Coudn't post the details earlier but here they are. My Oath was November
9th at 9am. We went up the elevator at exactly 9am. After we were all there, they called each side of the room up to check their certificate for corrections. If you have gotten married, divorced or left the country they wanted you to bring proof of divorce or marriage. Mine was marriage, so i gave that to them. They made a copy of that for the record. Thay also corrected my status from single to married after the ceremony. It was actually too late to change my last name. Anyway, all of that was done after the ceremony. After everyone had checked in and made necessary corrections. Oh, also, if you left the country, they wanted you to write down the dates you left and returned next to the question have you visited any other coutnry since interview. Then we all said oath, so on and so on and it was done. I ended up waiting for about 35 minutes for my corrected Certificate but that was no problem. Glad it was over.

After i was finished, i went to the bank to change my last name to married name. Well, the banker that i spoke to has been waiting over a year for citizenship because she is stuck in name check. Two other employees in the bank were also waiting. One for four years, the other for two. It was as if God had put me in a position to help others. I gave her my business card, told her about this site and told her if they need any help, i would be willing to help them with any questions that i felt i could answer. I told her to tell her friend that has been wiating for for four years to consider filing a lawsuit but i told them to made sure they check this website out. I felt so sad for them but it made me realize that there are others that are suffering far worse than I am. That's why I will always return to this board to help out any way i can. I wish you all good luck. Now i have started the process of getting my husband here.:)

I am happy for you, where are you going to write about your experience for bringing your husband? I want to know because I have my wife outside of the US and I am in Citizenship process so please let me know. That would be a great help
 
Congratulations! :) I understand that they issued you the certificate with your married name after the ceremony, is that right? So, it seems that at the end everything has come alright and you have all your documents with the name that you chose.
 
Congratulation,

Is the Oath letter issued by service center or District office?

Thanks

From my experience, my Oath letter was sent from the Service Center (NSC) according to the post stamp instead of my Washington DC district office in Fairfax, VA.

Thank you. You know i have been searching for a really good forum for I-130
filing but i have yet to find a really good one. The forum on this board for that is kind of dead. Immihelp seems to have an okay discussion forum for it but under the K-3 visa section. I have yet to find a really, really good, up to date website for it. Have you filed yet? I waited because since my namecheck was taking to long, i was paranoid. USCIS recieved my application on the 14th but i guess it's going to be about 3 months before i even get a notice of action.:confused:

No, i didn't get my married name on it, they just changed single to married, it was too late to change my last name but they made a copy of the marriage certificate for their records.

You meant filing I-130 or I-129F? since I am not a US citizen yet I have not applied for I-129F but I did for I-130 two years ago based on my Greencard for my wife.
They say, as soon as I get my certificate I can send them a copy of it and then they update my I-130 to citizen and then I can send that I-129F to chicago box and after they approval they will send it to National Visa Center and then it goes to consular to your country.

What if you open a thread for this subject and give me the link then we can write in there forever. That would be helpful to others.

Thank you
