My two cents - it is FINE to re-schedule the interview. I had to do mine because my wife was pregnant and her due date was too close to the interivew. I wrote a letter to the DO and told them I would like to postpone the interview by a month. They came back, acknowledged the receipt of my...

I had to reschedule my wife's interview in Newark also because the interview date was 15 days after my wife's due date. I figured that 15 days would be too short a time for her to recover and go for the interview and oath, which could last anywhere from 3-5 hours. I sent a letter to the Newark...

Hi - I had a similar problem - my wife was pregnant and could not go on a weekday. We actually just walked in for the fingerprinting on Saturday (the Saturday before the actual appointment). They looked at the letter and said "this is for next week". I explained my reason and they were...

VS007 - congratulations on becoming a citizen! Quick question - I know you were trying to postpone your wife's interview. Were you able to do that? What is the process to postpone the interview? I might be in the same situation and might need to postpone the interview. If you could share...

Futcitizen - thanks for the information. Do you know the hours of the center? Thanks Sanjiv

Hi - I won't be able to make it to my fingerprinting appointment in Newark because I am going to be out of town. Is it easier/better to reschedule or walk-in one day after the actual appointment to try to get fingerprinted? Anyone have experiences with walk-ins in Newark? If I have to...

Query11 - thanks for the reply - the link was very helpful. Sanjiv

I mailed in my N-400 on May 24. It was received in Vermont on May 26. As yet, the checks haven't cleared or I haven't received any notifications in the mail. Anyone have any idea of how long before the notifications are sent out and how long before the checks clear? Also, is the notification...

Hi - I am about to apply for U.S. citizenship and had a question on names: if your legal name (on your birth certificate) is slightly different from the name on your green card (the INS bungled up my first and middle names - my first name shows up as my middle name on my green card), is one...

ocworker - you are right, it does show XYZ>>ABC>>DEF at the bottom of the green card. Does this imply that the INS does not "print" a physical green card with a 2-part first name? On line 1b of the N-400 form (name as it appears on the green card), should I put XYZ, ABC D (as it appears on the...

Hello - my wife and I are getting ready to apply for our citizenship. My wife is Chinese and her first name has 2 parts. Consequently, her full name is ABC-DEF (first name), XYZ (last name). The green card approval notice and all other documents from the INS list her name correctly as XYZ...

I am filling out the N-400 form and realized that I had moved around 5 years ago, but don't have the exact date of my move (I don't have a copy of the AR-11 form that I submitted to the INS ragarding that address change either). Is it okay to list just an "approximate" date in the address...

Hello - I am eligible to apply for US citizenship in early March (my application will go to the Newark, NJ center). However, I will be moving in Dec of this year to San Francisco, which means my application will need to be transferred to the San Francisco center. I was wondering if anyone had...
