those who receive the notifications earlier have more time to do the medicals and get their documentation+finances together, dont they?

Gripe It doesnt seem fair that all letters are not sent out at the same time. And why are they releasing letters earlier than they say in the instructions? It seems like some people will have an advantage over others in sending back the paperwork because those who get earlier have more time?

I think theres a requirement that the kids must be residing with the USC,if the kids were born abroad. If they were born in the US, they are US citizens. http://www.travel.state.gov/family/adoption/info/info_448.html

Charlotte sucks They will give you an oath appointment one month AFTER your interview. I had an interview last week and oath is in early 2006!!! Lazy people.

Expect your interview letter exactly 1 year from your PD. I had a November 2004 PD, got interview letter early November 2005 and this week had the interview. Oath is in January 2006. The interview went smooth and the interviewer friendly.

Yes you are wrong. It doesnt matter how they entered as long as they are now LPR and are kids, and parents are USCs-one or both. In all cases, an N-600 is very important. You may not have to get it, but its advised.

watch out For the child citizenship Act to kick in, one parent must be a US citizen. That means that a parent and child can enter the US under any status, but on the day at least one parent becomes a US citizen, the Child Citizenship Act kicks in. Only then, can the child apply for the N-600...

what? I dont think it makes sense to inform USCIS at this stage about address change because it may trigger something you dont want. I would do mail forwarding at the post office and notify whoever it is at the post office and put priority on becming a citizen first. Or change the...

it depends Brian, It really depends on how lucky you are, but am very doubtful about the same day oath thing unless you are VERY VERY lucky. How long do you plan to stay in Australia? I doubt you have control over the oath date as well:they may give you a date that you have planned to be...

Going to Charlotte is better than waiting 6 weeks just for the oath. Especially if you need to travel outside the country. Would they stamp one's passport? I would rather get oath ASAP.

Harry, You are luck you got you interview letter so soon. Does anyone know how often people are taking their oath at Charlotte? My interview is 12/13/05. When can I expect to take the oath?

My interview date is 12/13/05. Now starting to get ready for that. They say it takes 2 hours!!! Looks like they will undress me and do a cavity search.
