Yes, I completely understand the interest in these topics. All I'm suggesting is that they would be better off in their own forum alongside the US citizenship forum, not in it. That way all those interested in these topics will be able to easily find all the discussion threads; and the others...

With all due respect - this is a forum about US citizenship. How does this thread belong here? Perhaps the moderator can create another forum for this. That would help not only people interested in this topic as they would have a common place to go but also help people searching for info on...

Heh! Heh! You are enumerating and excluding the reasons for which one would fail the interview (add poor English skills and problems with being out of status and/or how the GC was obtained to your list). Well yes, if you exclude all the reasons for failing then you will pass :) But then...

AlmostThereDude, you are only required to register for SS if before age 26 you were either a) a permanent resident or b) an illegal alien. Your status in F1 and as a spouse of a US citizen does not meet that criteria so you did not have to register under those statuses. Technically you did...

Yes, I'm aware of that exception but I figured that any diplomat would be familiar with the basic tenets of US immigration law (in fact they would need to be) and would therefore not be asking this question. I am not familiar with Indian immigration law or the procedures involved, but are...

Rawana: I understand that India requires US citizens to have a visa to enter. Please be sure to get a visitor visa for your daughter before flying to India. If you're planning to return for good as you mentioned, you may want to check the Indian immigration law with regard to permanent...

Your daughter is a US citizen Your daughter became a US citizen the day she was born. That's in the US constitution - citizenship is acquired at birth. When you say "everyone you know has taken USC for their US born kids" you are obviously unaware that it is not a matter of choice - they (the...

I don't claim to know more about naturalization than you or anyone else. I just didn't understand the reason for your question and wanted more info, that's all. Anyway, I am not interested in arguing this point further as it only wastes everybody's time. Good luck for your interview. Sam

That's great and I have no problem with that. I was trying to understand the relevance of your question about employment with regard to the citizenship interview. For example, following your wife's job loss did you go on welfare or seek other government benefits? Other than that I don't see any...

I'm confused by your question. What's employment got to do with naturalization? Are you suggesting that only employed permanent residents can get naturalized, or that it's easier for them? What about stay-at-home moms and dads, independently wealthy people, the retired, or those who simply...

Cherry Hill Processing Time Sri, congratulations!! It's too bad that CH is still taking so long to process applications. Newark is moving really fast. I live in Monmouth county and as per the USCIS website my DO is CH but when I called them I discovered it was Newark. A couple of weeks...

Thanks Nico. My case status was never available online so that didn't give me any indication. Based on the timelines posted by others I was expecting to receive the letter around the 3rd week of April with an interview date in mid-June. But after genesis1 posted about his wife's ID I knew I'd...

Unbelievable! Hey, I got my interview appointment letter too! Wow, what's going on with Newark? Could it be that it's an election year and they need more voters? :D Sam ----- PD: 01/23/2006 FP: 02/15/2006 Interview notice: 03/30/2006 Interview date: 06/01/2006

great! genesis1, that's great news. When did she get the interview notice? My dates are very close so I'm excited :) ----- PD: 01/23/2006 FP: 02/21/2006

don't rely on the online system my case has never shown up in the online system although I've already finished fingerprinting. A lady I spoke to at VSC said that it often happens with N400 cases. I have also seen lots of people on this forum say that their case either never showed up or was...

Under the US constitution your daughter became a US citizen at birth and applying or not applying for her US passport does not change that fact. There are lots of Americans who don't have a passport but that does not mean they are not US citizens. The same is applicable to your daughter. So...

Lay off of JoeF Hey Picaso - the personal insults directed at JoeF are totally uncalled for. If you don't agree with his opinions, that's perfectly fine and you can do as you please. But lots of us on this forum do find his opinions valuable and hope he keeps posting for a long time to come...

list all addresses in last 5 years But the N400 asks you to list all your residential addresses over the last 5 years. You should supply all of them even if you didn't send an AR11 for all. Sam

manraj - congratulations on your citizenship! Just a quick question: can you please elaborate on the selective service letter (were you a PR before age 26?) and DOB certificate? I'm just curious to know what was asked and why. Thanks in advance. Sam

Read the law! Kudi Magan and baski555 - I am sorry but I don't think you (and probably many others out there) understand visa laws. You are under the mistaken assumption that as long as your wife showed a salary - through pay stubs and W2s she was in status. The H1B program clearly requires...
