i got mine done the same day i had my FP taken as well. i have read in some posts that certain ASCs offer same day civics/history tests if the computers aren't down. i went to Glenmont ASC. luckily, when i went there, the lady that was administering the test was there and i was able to take...

it was handwritten on the front of my check (between my name on the top left and the date on the top right). it may be somewhat illegible for some. the best way is when you receive your NOA (Notice of Action) letter stating that they've received your application. the receipt number is there...

the USC will need to file an Adjustment of Status (AOS) and Petition for Alien Relative (I-485 and I-130). in addition, you need to file for Employment Authorization (I-765). the Employment Authorization or EAD is used to get authorization to work while I-485 is pending, much like a work...

i believe, and anyone can correct me if i'm wrong, that when you receive your interview letter stating the date of your interview, it'll list there any docs they want you to bring with you on your interview. i rarely see people on this forum bring their DMV records unless it was specified or...

congratulations! how long did it take you for the whole processing time?

hi nishanth! i have read in different threads in this forum that Glenmont ASC actually offers the history/civic test same day as getting your FP done --unless the computers were down that day. so when i got there, i saw a sign that said that the testing center was closed but i still asked if...

thank you for that clarification, JoeF!

i know for a fact your immediate relatives: spouse, parents, children. you can also file for your siblings. we all know filing for siblings takes somewhere from 12-15 years in processing. if your siblings are single when you file them and they get married and have kids during the 12-15 years...

i thought a USC filing for I-485 for immediate relatives (i.e., spouse, children, parents) does not have an upper limit when it comes to being out of status? only if a the relative entered without inspection that it cannot be filed. meaning, regardless of how long one has been out of status or...

oh okei. i've just read other posts where people were differentiating the two. so i was confused. i thought they were the same as well. thanks for the clarification guys! another thing, johnny cash, you said that the 3/10 year ban is only applicable if the 'out of status'/'unlawful...

their (FBI) number is 304-625-5590. when you call, you will speak to a live person. you will be asked for your A# and your name. that info is courtesy of ocworker :) (thanks, ocworker!)

what's the difference between the two? and is it true that the 3/10 year ban may still be applicable to a person married to a USC, applied and received approved AP, left the country prior to receiving GC, and was in illegal/unlawful presence for more than 180 days prior to application of AOS...

didn't say that one has an effect over the other. just thought to include all reasons for delays of one's application and what one thinks as to why his/her application is delayed (i.e., common name, problem with fingerprinting, etc.). so that other members will have an idea or atleast a better...

thanks ocworker for the number. when you said that when you call FBI and ask for the status of your FP for your naturalization, they give you 2 dates: date they received the FP and date the FP was sent. what does the date the FP was sent mean? sent to USCIS? does that mean that your FP...

it wasn't actually an answer cause i didn't ask her. she just said it as part of an instruction. this is how she said it verbatim: congratulations, you passed the test. you will receive a letter next year about your interview. you will be interviewed in baltimore. when you go to baltimore...

hello everyone! just curious. cause there are several threads and a handful of people who fall into this category. may it be a pending namecheck, fingerprinting, or fbi background -- or they may all even be related with each other. i am just curious: a) with people who has a namecheck...

i just want to update everyone. i went to Glenmont ASC this morning for my fingerprinting appt. my appt was at 10am but i got there around 9:15am. i filled out the paper they ask you to fill and waited for my turn. there were several people in front of me. by the time i was called, it was...

thanks for the info, sony55. when you applied for the waiver of conditions on your GC 90 days prior to its expiration, you said it took about 11 and a half months for the approval and then about 2 weeks later, you received the actual GC without conditions. then your conditional GC had...

thanks for your very detailed replies. i really appreciate it. it's sorta pertains to me. however, i'm on the other end (like your wife -- USC). i'm waiting for my citizenship to be processed but my fiance' is the one like on your end (F-1). we are waiting to get married until i become a...

i'm assuming you have to register a portfolio in USCIS to be able to check your status regularly. now, if one wants to get email notifications, when you're looking at your portfolio, the column next to 'receipt number' is 'email'. it should have a 'Y' in it in order to get email notification...
