Filing probably triggered the deportation procedure. They would have checked when you came here and then see that over stayed for many years.

That should be fine. Good luck. Oh, and if it is not in English, I *believe* you can translate it and attach that to it with a statement saying, "This is a true and faithful translation of the Birth Certificate for ..." Or words to that effect. From what I have read, you do not need a...

Hi Sassy, Not long now I suspect. Mine took 24 days.

My mistake, I meant DHS.

It means that a copy of the Birth Certificate has to be issued by the appropriate Government Authority. It must also be stamped with their stamp or seal and declared as a genuine copy of the original. It will also need be signed by the issuing officer. Where was the Birth Certificate issued...

I think it is an informational thing for USCIS. Just a another tiny thing to help against fake passports. I would have put in the same occupation you used for the N-400, just for consistency. I am sure it is not important for the application.

I think if you read the instructions carefully it says "if you wear glasses for every day tasks like driving, then leave them on." OK, not exactly those words but that's what I remember reading. I left mine on as I need them to read and drive and everything else in between. :) Just make...

Find a new bank. Open a free checking account and rent a box there. I pay $27/year.

Thanks guys, :) I am not thinking of getting married and I had my GC for 9 years, I was just curious when I read this thread that the GC date could over ride Citizenship rights. I had not thought of the fraudulent issues. Good thing someone is watching the fort. I will find the I-130 and...

Hi TripleC, I am a little confused over how the GC date features in a situation with a Citizen. I can understand where there could a probation period after Citizenship, but I do not understand the link with the GC which I no longer have. Can you please give me some more detail on this. Thanks

It seems to depend on the DO. Do some searching and reading here and you will find... 1: At the end of a successful interview they will say they will approve you when the 5 years date comes due. 2: They will schedule the Oath date to be after the 5 year date comes due. 3: They will deny...

Yes, the tickets will show up on the USCIS computers. Truthfully answer any questions asked at the interview. You say "all that I can think of," for tickets. You can check the Supreme Court website for your State as they often will have online access to public records. Using your name, do a...

Yes, but not by you. You will need your wife or a friend with them. You and the other soon-to-be-Citizens will all be in the front rows of seats. After about 20 minutes of taking GCs and Oath forms, they let the friends and family in and they sit at the back. In Phoenix there is also an upstairs...

From what I understand of that situation is that if you are employed by an American company and they send you overseas to work, continuous residency is maintained as if you were working here. Don't quote me though. :)

Given the valuable contents of the wallet Bob, reporting it lost would be a smart thing. If someone handed it in they know who to contact. If they detain someone and they have the wallet they know who to contact. As I was leaving my interview, the IO said, "if you lose your GC or it is...
