They place it in your US (or other foreign) passport.

I don't think you can negotiate on the spot. If they offer you a date and time...and you don't agree to it, they will tell you, that they will mail you a oath letter in the mail.

I tried calling them one time....some one picked up... ME: "Hello, I'm calling regarding..." Indian Consulate Staff: "We are busy ...don't disturb..click"

Actually...you can stay out for just short of one year...and you should have no problems getting back in the country. More than a year, and you may have been considered to abandon your GC, unless you can prove otherwise. Six months out of the country...is where the clock re-sets for...

I agree, it does not matter how you got your Green Card. You can apply under three year rule. Just make sure that on the day you apply you have completed three years of marriage to a Citizen. If your spouse recently took a oath, then the days before her oath don't count towards the three years.

It will not be a problem. The requirements are very clear, if you have required number of days in the country, you are eligible...that simple. Also partial days in the country count as full days...if that helps.

No, they will mail them back separately, in different packets. For employment purposes, passport card, is the same as regular passport. Form I9 states that expired passport is good enough proof of employment eligiblity. For other purposes the individuals or organizations may refuse to...

I had mentioned minor traffic tickets on my application. The IO crossed them out with a pen, telling me that I only need to list them if I was taken into custody. I had about 3 tickets...each less than $200 each.

If you were an asylum case, in a lot of cases the actual GC is backdated one year from the grant of PR. This is normal and not an error. If you feel your date is in error, apply for correction before you apply for N400.

Please let us know if you were successful in getting your certified copy.

In Sept 2008, it took 5 business days for Passport, and 6 business days for Passport card to arrive at my home address, regular processing.

In my case I applied from Houston, before the FP I moved to Dallas. The day I moved I filled out online change of address, and called the 800 number to update my address. I had to go to Houston for my FP and Interview. The notices arrived at my Dallas address. During the interview in Houston...
