I think if you take your DL to a local state department passport office and pay the document search fee they will look for your original passport submission and issue you a new passport.

My journey that has taken over 11 years was completed on Monday. I apologize for the delay in posting my experience. Although everything has gone better than I could have ever hoped for, it was still stressful so I wanted a day or two off. My oath was scheduled for September 28th at the...

You won't be able to use the 3 year rule for citizenship since you are now divorced. You have to be a PR for 3 years, married for 3 years (and still married when you take the oath), and your spouse needs to be a USC for the last 3 years.

If the OP was granted a tourist visa or something similar on the assurance that the OP would return home and USCIS believed the OP would return home because of strong ties - such as employment - that might be the problem.

If I needed an immigration lawyer, this is the only one I'd go to: http://www.shusterman.com/ He's in LA, so is unlikely to be able to represent you in person. But at least you could get an accurate assessment of what's going on.

Congratulations!!

Congratulations!

When I had my interview, I received the results sheet filled in by the IO and an oath letter partially written/filled in by the IO. For one of these, the IO used carbon copy sheet to copy her handwriting. This wouldn't be a big deal but on the OL my A# is paritally wrong/illegible. I was...

I've worried about the same thing (let's be honest, we always need something to worry about). If that did happen, I would think that the DO would make you one the same day. I say that because 1- DOs appear to do the printing because they can do same day oaths, and 2) it's not exactly hitech- a...

I don't know but I don't remember it being on the list of things to bring to the interview. Also, I've not seen anyone mention their birth certificate on here and I didn't have to show one, nor did I include it in my application. Although I did have it. Did you submit one with you I-485? It...

I didn't see the IO do anything to the back and since it was in permanent pen I doubt the IO did. Besides, they need to have your name and A# on the back incase your photos get separated from your file.

You just print your full name and A#on the back of the photographs when you apply. At my interview, the IO used an eraser to create a surface on the front of the photos to write on (maybe it was just one photograph, I dont remember). It was in the white space next to my head. Then I had to sign...

Thank you for your nice comments :-)

As you are British, you can use the visa waiver program to enter for 3 months but won't be allowed to work or do anything other than vacation. If you want to stay in the US for longer than 3 months you'd have to come and go every 3 months. You could come on a student visa (F-1) to a local...

http://www.sharpie.com/enUS/Product/Sharpie_Ultra_Fine_Point_Permanent_Marker.html I think this is what I used. I guess it's an "ultra fine" sharpie rather than just fine. You can likely find them for a few bucks at Staples, Office Depot, Walmart etc.
