Tax payments aren't tied in any way to the legal status of the employee. Nobody reports to the IRS or the SS administration legal status of the employee, just the numbers and social security number.

Hmm... what is the incentive of the employer to pass on this information to government agencies? Wouldn't they have to face a penalty for hiring somebody illegally?

I don't think so. Some people don't have anything and might need this help with subsidization. The fact is that USCIS is run on user fees and whatever you pay doesn't go straight into government's treasury, it goes back to USCIS.

Ever heard of cross subsidization?

Well, USCIS is run almost entirely on user fees. So I wouldn't say so.

Full size.

Thank you. Got my certificate today. Was sent via Priority.

Emmm.... I don't think so. There are tons of foreign companies hiring people to work for them overseas and if everyone was eligible for a greencard... that would've been strange.

I received my passport (expedited) on Monday, but I still haven't seen my Naturalization Certificate. Was it supposed to arrive before my passport or should I wait a little longer for it?

I would just write down your agency's name and answer if they ask for an explanation. You don't really work for the companies you go to -- you are there by the assignment of the agency that is also your employer. They pay taxes for you.

Well, it takes time for paperwork to go through. I would wait for another week and then give them a call.

That's pretty strange. Did u use any other names other than your original?

Hi. Just go here: http://www.trackitt.com/usa-immigration-trackers/n400 and select "Buffalo" in the "USCIS District Office:" field.

No, there is no same day oath in LV.
