Current N-565 timeline Huracan or others, can you please give me a sense of current timeline for N-565 in San Jose DO? My wife just got her naturalization certificate in Oath and we are debating whether to go thru with her name change now or next year given our upcoming India trip in a couple...

Changing name first would cause significant delays in the citizenship process. I'm surprised to learn that SJ doesn't have a proper venue to entertain name changes, given that N400 explicit gives you the option to change name thru citizenship process. Anyone with name change experience in SJ...

I read thru some of the previous posts on name change process and here's what I gathered. 1. Form N400: Fill the new name information in section 1-D. 2. Interview: IO will ask you to sign a couple of name change forms. Forms will be provided by IO? 3. Oath: Naturalization oath will be...

Received Oath letter in mail on 02/22/08 for March 20th 10AM @ Campbell. Interview date was 01/09/08. Good luck to those who are waiting for the elusive letter.

Thanks for your detailed message. I can understand how you must have felt waiting for 3.5 months for something like Oath. In other DOs the entire citizenship process takes less than that. Anyway, I think I head IO correctly when he said the letters went out "yesterday" i.e. 01/31. However, you...

Ok, I had my 2 minutes infopass today and I'm apparently scheduled for March 20th Oath ceremony. I guess I'll never understand USCIS. People interviewed after me got Feb oath. Those who aren't following my story, I was interviewed on 01/09 and as per IO today, March 20th oath letters went out...

There was a kid area where I saw some kids playing with toys. So I believe you can take your kids with you. I don't think they can go in the interview room though.

Thanks for the suggestions folks. I went ahead and scheduled the Infopass for this Friday morning. I'm reasonably sure that things have gotten messed up with the change in residence. Anyway, I guess we'll find out pretty soon. Thanks again!

Huracan and other experts! I'm having second thoughts in scheduling Infopass appointment. I'm getting one for this Friday. My problem is that I had my interview on 1/9 and haven't received my oath letter yet. I did change my residence from Santa Clara to San Jose. I updated my address online and...

I did and also left a prepaid self addressed envelope in case they receive the letter. I somehow get the feeling that they have screwed things up. I'll schedule an infopass if I don't get it in the mail today.

I was interviewed on 01/09 but haven't received the interview letter. The only difference in my case is that I moved from Santa Clara to San Jose just before the interview and I updated the address online as well as personally at the interview. The interviewer also confirmed the Oath letter will...

Thanks Nick. #1: I was laid off in April 2002. Got GC in June 2002. I applied for citizenship in April 2007. #2: I think I lost no more than a month. In other words, I applied 4 years and 10 months after my GC was approved. I had the same concern when I was getting ready to apply but I did it...

Anyone received Feb Oath letter thus far?

Thanks. Yes, I guess I did invoke AC21 by changing jobs while GC was still pending. However, I didn't notify INS about it as my lawyer suggested against it as it unnecessarily complicates/delays the application. I was told that it is *suggested*, as opposed to *required*, to notify INS about any...

Huracan, Did you fill the passport form online from https://pptform.state.gov/FraudAbuseNotice.aspx?form=DS11 and then took the print to local USPS? I read somewhere about some passport agency. Do we need to go to that agency or USPS does the job? Thanks!
