    Returning to US for Oath Ceremony

    As long as you have confirmed travel plans, they need copy of tickets. Problem could come getting the appointment. In my case none were available before I was flying so I used a travel agent, had to pay $100 but overall it cost me $60 more as I didn't have to pay approx $40 for overnight mail...

    Citizenship, marriage - very confused, please advise

    Getting married doesn't change anything with the N-400app. You just need to provide details about your spouse. Applying based on GC will take for ever. If you wait till you get citizenship, then you can apply for fiancee visa. If you get married now, then when you become citizen, apply I-130...

    San Jose, CA - N-400 Timeline

    From what I have heard, the regular oath ceremonies are held at heritage Theater in campbell. But USCIS also does oath thing at their office in San Jose. Mine was done at the San Jose USCIS office where you go for the interview. Good luck.

    Is A# still valid after naturalization ?

    It is not ill-legal to make copies of the naturalization cert. I am filing I-130 for my wife and USCIS wants me to send a copy of the cert. They won't be asking me if it was ill-legal.

    After Oath (no US passport), able to travel?

    We were talking about Regional Passport Agency. There are couple of them all over US. If you need to fly outside US and need your passport within 2 weeks, you have to apply at Regional Passport Agency. I got mine in a week but I had to use a travel agent. From what I have heard only Regional...

    what would happen if failed to pass civil test

    I had my interview on Oct. I was asked 4 questions (verbally), all from the list of 100. How many branches of the govt, name them, how many senators, name senators from CA. Then I was asked to write 1 sentence in english, " I work as xxx at company yyyy". That's it. Don't worry too much.

    Multiple Valid Passports - Can I use both to travel

    I think it depends if Pakistan allows dual citizenship. Having a passport alone doesn't mean anything. The day I got my US passport, I still had valid Indian passport but I am not Indian citizen anymore so can't use that passport even if it is valid as I had given up my Indian citizenship they...

    6 months for the entire naturalization time?

    My whole process at San Jose took 5 1/2 months. Last yr I remember, it was taking more than 1 yr just to get interview so I think things are improving.
