I know, I just like the comparison that's all :). Besides being "an active member" is also very vague, I was a very active member of "komsomol", organizing school kids to recycle metal and paper was my main responsibility in school, I was also active in organizing my college classmates to help a...

My timeline: Application received by USCIS: 08/18/2004 FP taken: 09/07/2004 Interview passed: 04/22/2005 Oath ceremony requested in a small setting, taken 09/08/2005...

I liked your putting Nazi and communists side by side. Do you actually know how many ex-members of communist parties (various countries) become US citizens on a regular basis :)?

Dear fellows, I have a question again (it seems that all I have so far is questions :)). I know that there are basically 3 steps in background checks for each N-400 applicant (according to one of the posts by Publicus (thank you, Publicus), 1. Fingerprint checks (done within 24 hrs...

People mention this "thing" happening to them on the forum and I have no idea what it is. So, What is it? Any explanation for a novice (i.e. for a dummy :))?

Steve, I am happy for you, congratulations! Whay is you advice to us of how to find a GOOD lawer to handle the case? Zaraza

Are you serious? They contact the embassy? With Russian consulate alone it can take FOREVER, it's a bummer! You mean the consulate personnel actualy confirmed it? And what it "retro"? When you are saying that "the officer ...took my interview case under "additional review" and "verification"...

Thank you, Sony, it is a good idea to use the written confirmation from the Senator's office. And as I understand you are talking about InfoPass? Last time we spoke to an officer in Phila DO, he tried to convince us that for a background checks USCIS sends a requests to each person's native...

Thank you for your answer.The name check has been completed on Nov 10, and the senator's office confirmed with USCIS that they received it 2 weeks ago, but our written request from Dec-16 received the "background checks pending" so there is a dscrepancy between what USCIS is telling our...

What do you do when you know that USCIS lies? The fact of name check completion was confirmed by 2 independent sources, one of them - my state senator's liaison with Immigration services, they confirmed it 2 weeks ago. However, yesterday we received the answer to the written request on the...

Did anyone with October+ interview get an Oath letter here? I know there was a thread back in September/November, but what is the current status of the matter? Any news from Philadelphia DO?

Johnny, Thank you, Would never guessed it without you. Could you then confirm if I understand the process correctly? They make a decision at California Center and then send the file back to the original office for an interview? I was surprised that they invite minors for an interview...

Just wanted to share. First I got really pissed off but now I am just laughing at the USCIS ability to screw almost everything up. At the end of September I filed the application for my kid's Certification of Citizenship aka N-600. I have not received any receipt with an application number but...

One theory There are possibly several reasons for getting into this unlucky group of people who are stuck. One that seems to be logical to me is doing job for federal government either in the military or in "sensitive scientific" fields, it works as a red flag for an FBI's in-depth checking...

Thank you for the answer, we'll do as you suggested, InfoPass is a good idea.

No, sorry, our estimation was that CIS submitted it in April, though the application date was Aug, 2004. But it is just a wild guess :).

One of our Senators helped

Help of our state's Senator

How long does it take to have your Oath invitation mailed? We learned today that Name check has been completed on the particular date Does anyone have any experience how long it would take for USCIS to respond to the result and mail the invitation to Oath ceremony? Interview has been passed...

Thank you, very good advice. So you think that contacting a Representative is better than contacting a Senator? Why so? Yeah, you must be right about personal conversation, we'll do it, good idea. And we will do it in steps, first - the Representative and if it does not help, then both...
