Fivestar, It's quite possible each consulate has different procedures. Since birth certificate, in your case, had a note at the end, it should suffice. The birth certificate issued by NY consulate didn't have that note and we had to get a separate non-availability certificate. Thx.

Luckylilly, If your income from W2s is sufficient then you will not need to attach any other documents (additional documents will not do any harm either). BTW where did you see the requirement for notary for I-864? Thanks.

SG, If you have both your 1040s and W2s for last 3 years, you can send them and transcripts are not required. If you can wait 10 days (they should reach even sooner), no issues. For my naturalization interview last year, I got last 5 years' transcripts which came in handy now. Thx.

SG, 1. No harm in sending three year W2s. I just sent for 2008. 2. 1040 form or IRS transcripts will do. 3. Do not send 2008 1040 unless it's filed and accepted by IRS. It's okay to send 2005 thru 2007 (either 1040 or transcripts - both not required). W2 is required with 1040 copy...

SG, Since the I-94 is expiring, you might want to go ahead and file for AOS without police clearance. Parallelly you can apply for police clearance in case there is an RFE later. I guess the consulate has exceeded (y)our expectations.

SG, I think it depends on who is handling the case and how the BC issued by Indian consulate is considered as. Question may arise why you went to Indian consulate and not to Indian Municipality of place of birth. Non-availability certificate will give that justification. I didn't submit...

Hi SG, There are two documents - one for Birth Certificate and one for Non-availability. I did take my mother to consulate because she had to sign the application form at the counter (for life certificate). BTW one application form is enough for all three certificates. ($40 cash for first...

New application for AOS I sent in my mom's AOS application today. Thanks to this forum for the great information. Regarding birth certificates: I got the birth certificate and non-availability for my mom from Indian Consulate in NY (went personally and got them same day). We also got life...

It's taking at least 3 weeks to acknowledge after it's delivered. It depends when your application reached CGI office. Also with couple of holidays in between (Ganesh Chathurthi/Labor Day), I could see some delays. My guess it will be acknowledged this week.

Naturalized I and my wife had our interview and oath today. I would like to thank the contributors to this forum which helped us a lot in preparing for the naturalization process. Below is our experience at Newark DO. Appointment time: 9.40 AM Parking: Parked on Court Street as suggested...

Dress code Whoever went for the naturalization interview, can you pls advise what kind of dress code is most appropriate for the interview (for both gents and ladies) or what majority of them are wearing? Thanks.

Correction I stand corrected. My IL also says "Initial Interview". I looked at the address which says Interview and Oath Ceremony Site and mistook that both are on same day.
