I could see why the check for naturalization might be more extensive. For example I was visiting a location today that permitted same-day access for US citizens but required non-US citizens, including green card holders, to fill in a 7-page form and go through a vetting process that takes about...

IANAL, but the sticking point might be can you prove you were in the USA if you did not keep your own residence at any time. However your situation cannot be unique. What about credit card statements showing purchases during that time frame? Car registration etc. If you are concerned, and the...

I can only suggest patience with this process. Everything seems to take longer than you expect, and unless the delays are getting excessive there is little you can do about it. For example it took us 4.5 months from fingerprinting to receive the interview letter. It has now been 4+ weeks since...

Some pre-steps you can take include Only carry those cards that you need and use on a regular basis. Leave the others at home. Keep at home a card for an account that you do not carry with you. This gives you a backup when you have to cancel all the other cards. Always sign the back of all...

N600 is for an individual to document U.S. citizenship status based on citizen parentage. You would not need N600 if you become naturalized, but you would need to file N600 for your minor children to get them certificates. After about 2000 they are automatically US citizens based on your...

Thanks. That makes sense.

I know that when us (the parents) take our oath we immediately hand in our green cards, get our Naturalization Certificates and have to apply for US passports to travel. However what about our kids who currently travel using non-US passports and their green cards. Do they also immediately...

You should definitely chase them up. I remember when we were first admitted to LPR status, that the letter said to follow up with them if we had not received the card within 12 months. And that was back when they were switching over to the new cards and they had a backlog / were very slow. It...

realnewbie - that is not my understanding in the general case (as I am not familiar with India specifically). I am not aware that the US has "rules" about dual citizenship and dual passports, except that you must use a US passport to enter the US if you are a US citizen. The US does not...

I would answer with +1 for the current marriage and +1 for all previous marriages , eg current and one divorce would be 2 marriages. That counts the total number of marriage certificates.

LOL, don't know where I got the 6 days from. I think I'm a bit spaced out from a hard days work and got mixed up. Congrats on the Oath letters. We're just waiting for ours.

OT: What sort of post office do you have that holds onto items you have mailed for more 6 days without mailing them? Glad to hear you did not need that letter delivered!!

You do not need to, and should not, carry Your Naturalization Certificate with you. Your Naturalization Certificate should be treated as an irreplaceable document with the original stored securely in a fire proof location. Ideally this would be a bank safe deposit box, or at least in a fire...

While a passport is sufficient proof of US citizenship, if you can afford it I'd recommend getting naturalization citizenships via N600 for the children too as a backup. My opinion is that it gives you a second document that can be quickly produced if the passports are otherwise lost, stolen, or...

forex_dealer: You are in a gray area where you were meant to register but did not. In your application process, and at the interview, you will have to provide persuasive evidence that that your failure to register was not knowing and willful, and the USCIS will then evaluate your evidence. This...

The deadline to register to vote is the fifteenth day before any election: Kansas Secretary of State, Voting & Registration. I did not see any restriction like you mentioned. I hope to be able to vote by then too if my Oath ceremony is not delayed.

This will not help the OP, but when you get your NC take some black and white copies of it and store the original somewhere very safe eg bank deposit box.

When you go to the Oath ceremony they will ask about any trips taken since the interview to ensure your status is still valid for citizenship. Just have the trip details to hand to tell them.
