Me and my wife received our USA passports! Pretty excited. But they did not return the Original Naturalization Certificates we submitted with the passport application at the local post office. Should I not have given the original certificates with the application package? Is it lost? Or...

I believe she was either a judge or some other authorized UCIS officer. Anyway we were there for the group Oath recital with the main judge, so I guess we did it twice.

Me and my wife just got back from our oath at NYC. We live in a northern suburb in Westchester County but for some reason got scheduled at 8:30 at NYC, a 1.5 hour commute by train and taxi to Federal Plaza. So I had set my alarm to 5am, but for some reason turned it off when it buzzed...

On the oath appointment letter it says I have to bring: 1. Greencard 2. All Reentry permits 3. Any other immigration documents you may have in your possesion Regarding 2 and 3, what exactly does it mean. Expired Advance Paroles, old EAD cards, etc?

I have my naturalization interview in NYC on July 21st. I got my GC 12/31/2001 and left my sponsoring employer for a new job in March 2002. I just know that I will be asked "why did you leave your sponsoring employer so soon after getting GC?". Honestly, I left because the new job was...

Hi: I'm going to the local pharmacy to get my photo taken. Is it the same thing as Passport photo? Also, do I have to have my glasses off in the photo? Sorry for the silly question but I just don't want my application returned for a trivial reason like pictures. Thanks.

I'm in the process of filling out the N-400 for me and my wife. Over the past 5 years we've taken many, trips out of the country. Some of them with different departure dates for me and my wife. I was looking at our passports to determine entry stamps, etc. It's going to be a difficult task...

Hi: I have lived in the US since 1995, first as a student then employment visa then green card. I was 22 years old when I first arrived in the US. I got my green card back in 2002 and procrastinated in applying for citizenship. I want to do that now. My question is: what forms do I need...

i know - it sounds crazy. I was ignorant in submitting a previous TN, and the HR dept was ignorant in not flagging it. The question on this thread is not the obvious stupidity of the situation, but whether it will cause denial of Citizenship.

I was new to visa's etc and had just assumed that the one-year expiry date of the visa meant that within the validity period of the TN, once can switch employers. Anyway, that was quite naive and uninformed I guess. If I ever apply for citizenship I'll definitely disclose my error if asked...

Warlord or others: When they ask you if you have ever worked illegaly, what it sufficient just to say "no" or did you have to back it up with paper evidence? Does the officer flip through through your old passports for visa stamps/dates, etc?

I definitely would not bring it up voluntarily. But the problem is with the "Selective Service Letter" since I was 24 years old when I changed jobs without renewing my TN visa. I need to show them that I was a legal non-resident alien (which I was mostly, except for this tiny issue with...

Hi: I have had a Green Card for over 5 years now (employment based) and I'm thinking of applying for Citizenship. Back in 1996 I was working in the US under a TN visa (I'm a Canadian Citizen). While at the job I found another position at a different company. I figured the new job was...
