    How to Preserve Naturalization Certificate

    That is exactly what we have done as well. It has been in the bank locker since we got our Passports issued.

    can i keep gc during oath?

    I hope you realize that it is exactly what is called fraud. And, if caught, you stand the risk to get tried by US Courts as well as the court at your country of origin.

    San Jose, CA - N-400 Timeline

    Priority date is the date your application was acknowledged by USCIS. It is usually same as the receipt date. Don't know about now. But about 3 years ago when I went through the citizenship process, there was no need to call in advance to get the finger printing done early. One could simply...

    GC for Parents - AOS and CP - Information Source

    No, you can't. You can only petition your immediate family members. Assuming your spouse is also a USC, they can be petitioned by your spouse.

    San Jose, CA - N-400 Timeline

    This was bound to happen as everyone was unnecessarily taking advantage of their (San Jose ASC) leniency even though getting FP done a week or two earlier wasn't going to help them in getting naturalization done any earlier. But this has screwed up those who have a genuine reason to get the FP...

    What would happen if I miss the oath?

    You will be rescheduled provided you make contact with the DO and explain the reasons why you had to miss the oath. The best option would be to contact the DO prior to event.

    No, name check and finger printing validation are two totally different things. Name check is performed based on different permutation and combination of different possible variation of your name while finger printing is just merely based on your finger prints. One does not have to wait for the...

    Unfortunately call to FBI for finger printing status is totally useless because it really means nothing material. All it means is that they received your case and they have provided their feedback back to USCIS. And, btw, you cannot do anything to find out that your finger printing was done...

    No, check option A. You are indeed applying under the 5 yr as LPR (Legal Permanent Resident) rule, which allows you to apply 90 days (not 3 months) prior to completing 5 yrs. No need to contact lawyer or anything and no need to write any clarification. This is a very clear rule and is well...

    "Your case is in process pending name check...."

    I agree with Flydog. There is no point in being in the state of anxiety. There is literally nothing you can do about it. But the good thing is that a large percentage of those stuck in name check do get cleared in reasonable amount of time.

    I was just kidding. I hope you caught that by insertion of the smiley. A little bit of humor in the midst of the agonizing wait is not bad at all. Good luck with your naturalization process.

    I had my interview today

    You can disagree but you can't change the facts. If there were no outstanding issues, the IO would give the applicant the form N-652 with the line checked that says, "Congratulations. You application has been recommended for approval." Only in case muddy cases where a decision cannot be...
